This book presents the history of the Polish resettlement camps in the context of the post-war reconstruction of Britain during the 1950s. The Polish Resettlement Act (1947) concerned some 200, 000 Poles stranded in the country after the war. There are very few studies available in English concerning this migration to the UK and a limited number of Polish ones. The focus of this study is the Husbands Bosworth camp in Northamptonshire which was located on a decommissioned RAF aerodrome at Sulby Hall, between Welford and Naseby. The text relies both on eye-witness testimony, including the author’s own experiences as a child in the camp, as well as on rare documentation located in private arc...
A second edition, with a completely new contextual introduction and other new material, of a superb selection (first published in 1973 and for long out of print) of some of the best science fiction from continental Europe. Included are stories by Stanislaw Lem (Poland), Vsevolod Ivanov (Russia), Eurocon-award winner Adrian Rogoz (Romania), Herbert W. Franke (Germany), Wolfgang Jeschke (Germany), Gerard Klein (France) and others.
In The Lem Reader, Peter Swirski has assembled an in-depth and insightful collection of writings by and about, and interviews with, one of the most fascinating writers of the twentieth century.
Stanislaw Lem: Philosopher of the Future brings a welter of unknown elements of Lem's life, career, and literary legacy to light in order to mete out cognitive justice to the writer who preferred to be known as the philosopher of the future.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Erzeugung eines Flammenkerns im polydispersen Spray eines komplexen Brennstoffes unter dem Einfluss turbulenter Strömung und unter subatmosphärischen Bedingungen, um einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der Wiederzündung eines Triebwerkes in großer Höhe zu leisten. Es wurde ein Modell entwickelt, welches die Zündenergie für die Generierung eines Flammenkerns im polydispersen Spray eines komplexen Brennstoffs unter turbulenten Bedingungen vorhersagen kann. - The present study investigates the generation of a flame kernel in the polydisperse spray of a complex fuel under the influence of turbulent flow and under subatmospheric conditions in order to contribute to a better understanding of the altitude relight of a jet engine. A model was developed that can predict the ignition energy for generating a flame kernel in the polydisperse spray of a complex fuel under turbulent conditions.
