In God's Name
Despite the widespread trends of secularization in the 20th century, religion has played an important role in several outbreaks of genocide since the First World War. And yet, not many scholars have looked either at the religious aspects of modern genocide, or at the manner in which religion has taken a position on mass killing. This collection of essays addresses this hiatus by examining the intersection between religion and state-organized murder in the cases of the Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, and Bosnian genocides. Rather than a comprehensive overview, it offers a series of descrete, yet closely related case studies, that shed light on three fundamental aspects of this issue: the use of religion to legitimize and motivate genocide; the potential of religious faith to encourage physical and spiritual resistance to mass murder; and finally, the role of religion in coming to terms with the legacy of atrocity.

Serbia pod rządami Slobodana Miloševicia
W drugiej połowie lat osiemdziesiątych poszczególne republiki Socjalistycznej Federacyjnej Republiki Jugosłwii coraz bardziej zdecydowanie dążyły do utworzenia samodzielnych państw narodowych. Ponieważ idealistycznie zakładano zjednoczenie narodu w ramach jednego państwa, a duży odsetek Serbów zamieszkiwał obszary poza Republiką Serbską, utworzenie państwa serbskiego łączyłoby się albo ze znacznym okrojeniem terytoriów innych republik, albo z utrzymaniem państwa jugosłowiańskiego.

Data Requirements for Integrated Urban Water Management
Integrated urban water management relies on data allowing us to analyse, understand and predict the behaviour of the individual water cycle components and their interactions. The concomitant monitoring of the complex of urban water system elements makes it possible to grasp the entirety of relations among the various components of the urban water cycle and so develop a holistic approach to solving urban water problems. Data Requirements for Integrated Urban Water Managements - issuing from UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme project on this topic - is geared towards improving integrated urban water management by providing guidance on the collection, validation, storage, assessment and utilization of the relevant data. The first part of this volume describes general principles for developing a monitoring programme in support of sustainable urban water management. The second part examines in detail the monitoring of individual water cycle components. Two case studies in the final part illustrating attempts to deliver an integrated monitoring system help demonstrate the fundamental principles of sustainable urban water management elaborated here.
