Proměny polonistiky
Kolektivní monografie Proměny polonistiky. Tradice a výzvy polonistických studií připomíná již více než devadesátiletou historii a tradici univerzitní polonistiky v českých zemích. Ta se rozvíjela nejprve na pražské univerzitě, později i v řadě dalších vysokých škol (Ostrava, Brno, Olomouc, Pardubice, Opava aj.). V poslední době jsme přitom svědky přechodu od tradičního modelu filologických studií ke studiím areálovým (např. středoevropská studia). Co tato změna může přinést? Kam se polonistická studia posunula? Jak se přístup k polonistice liší v jednotlivých univerzitních centrech v Česku, ale také na Slovensku a v dalších zemích? A co inspirativního může české polonistice nabídnout polonistika zahraniční, v čele s tou polskou? Na tyto a podobné otázky se autoři snaží nalézt odpověď v pěti tematických blocích: Tradice a perspektivy pražské polonistiky, Současné směry literárněvědné polonistiky, Současné směry jazykovědné polonistiky, Metodika výuky polštiny jako cizího jazyka včera a dnes a Tradice a perspektivy polonistiky v prostoru střední Evropy.
Computer Performance Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2012, held in Munich, Germany, and the 28th UK Performance Engineering Workshop, UKPEW 2012, held in Edinburgh, UK, in July 2012. The 15 regular papers and one poster presentation paper presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics from classical performance modeling areas such as wireless network protocols and parallel execution of scientific codes to hot topics such as energy-aware computing to unexpected ventures into ranking professional tennis players. In addition to new case studies, the papers also present new techniques for dealing with the modeling challenges brought about by the increasing complexity and scale of systems today.
30 Love - il meglio del TENNIS 2013-2014
30 storie da ricordare: analisi, celebrazioni, punti interrogativi, suggestioni. Avvenimenti che hanno cambiato la storia del tennis, come l’attentato subito da Monica Seles nel 1993, ad altri che l’hanno scritta durante questo 2014: se a Wimbledon Roger Federer deve inchinarsi a Novak Djokovic, al Roland Garros Maria Sharapova conquista il suo quinto slam. Dalla meteora Maureen Connolly, all’uomo che disse no ad Adolf Hitler, dal curioso caso di Kimiko Date-Krumm agli incompiuti Gael Monfils e Caroline Wozniacki. E mentre Andy Murray riparte da Amélie Mauresmo, Agnieszka Radwanska viene respinta dal “Club dei campioni slam”, Tommy Haas sfodera la sua ultima freccia, Eugenie Bouchard deve districarsi tra pressioni e aspettative e Li Na lascia il segno nel cuore degli appassionati. Il viaggio dell’argonauta Flavia Pennetta, il misticismo russo di Svetlana Kuznetsova, e tanto altro ancora, perché ci sono due vie per attraversare il tennis, la via della natura e la via della grazia. Spazio anche ai numeri: i risultati dei tornei ATP, WTA, della Coppa Davis e della Fed Cup; nonché i ranking di fine stagione.
Tworki
In Tworki, a village just southwest of Warsaw, there is a psychiatric hospital and in that hospital, the patients and their caretakers are hidden from the war just outside their iron gates. Our hero, Jurek, answers an ad in the paper for a job there and finds himself keeping the books alongside a knockout strawberry blonde named Sonia. They and their group of friends—vital young people like Marcel, an initial rival for Jurek; Olek, Sonia’s chosen love; and Janka, with whom Jurek becomes involved—do their jobs, picnic on the weekends, and dance in the gardens on the grounds of the hospital. Jurek speaks often of, and even in, verse, whether he is talking to his friends or in letters to ...

Down Home
A sweeping chronicle of Jewish life in the Tar Heel State from colonial times to the present, this beautifully illustrated volume incorporates oral histories, original historical documents, and profiles of fascinating individuals. The first comprehensive social history of its kind, Down Home demonstrates that the story of North Carolina Jews is attuned to the national story of immigrant acculturation but has a southern twist. Keeping in mind the larger southern, American, and Jewish contexts, Leonard Rogoff considers how the North Carolina Jewish experience differs from that of Jews in other southern states. He explores how Jews very often settled in North Carolina's small towns, rather than...
