A Laboratory of Transnational History
A first attempt to present an approach to Ukrainian history which goes beyond the standard 'national narrative' schemes, predominant in the majority of post-Soviet countries after 1991, in the years of implementing 'nation-building projects'. An unrivalled collection of essays by the finest scholars in the field from Ukraine, Russia, USA, Germany, Austria and Canada, superbly written to a high academic standard. The various chapters are methodologically innovative and thought-provoking. The biggest Eastern European country has ancient roots but also the birth pangs of a new autonomous state. Its historiography is characterized by animated debates, in which this book takes a definite stance. The history of Ukraine is not written here as a linear, teleological narrative of ethnic Ukrainians but as a multicultural, multidimensional history of a diversity of cultures, religious denominations, languages, ethical norms, and historical experience. It is not presented as causal explanation of 'what has to have happened' but rather as conjunctures and contingencies, disruptions, and episodes of 'lack of history.'

Children of Our Age
A deeply human and timely story of Polish immigrants in Britain, which will elelectrify as it explores the ways unlikely encounters transform lives, the limits of loyalty, and love.
Arlin
There are doors which should not be opened. It is even dangerous to approach others, for the risk that someone, when they hear our footsteps, opens them from the inside. You never know what or whom you will find on the other side. But sometimes, it just can't be otherwise ... It was believed... they don't exist. It was believed... that it is enough to erase its name, bury it, to forget. Many things were said and many were kept silent. All to no avail. In the continuation of the novel, Arlin and her companions will set on an extraordinary journey to a place where myths become flesh and time will come full circle.

Theoretical and Applied Ethics
Within the domains of morality, is there a distinction that can be properly drawn by using the concepts of applied and theoretical ethics? Could not all ethics be an application of something that has no theoretical foundation - or perhaps only another kind of foundation? Or, perhaps ethics could also be a theory about something that is altogether inapplicable? Moral philosophers have not managed to rule out the possibilities indicated by questions such as these, and this fact could perhaps be taken as a reminder that a relevant moral philosophy should probably not distance itself too much from either the putatively theoretical or applied aspects of moral issues. In this volume, a number of writers wrestle with the problem concerning applied and theoretical ethics, illuminating it from different angles. (Series: Applied Philosophy / Anvendt Filosofi - Vol. 5)
