Friars on the Frontier
Focusing on the Dominican Order's activities in southeastern Poland from the canonisation of the Polish Dominican St Hyacinth (1594) to the outbreak of Bogdan Chmielnicki's Cossack revolt (1648-54) this book reveals the renovation and popularity of the pre-existing Mendicant culture of piety in the period following the Council of Trent (1545-64). In so doing, it questions both western and Polish scholarship regarding the role of the Society of Jesus, and the changes within Catholicism associated with it across Europe in the early modern period. By grounding the rivalry between Dominicans and Jesuits in patronage, politics, preaching, and the practices of piety, the study provides a holistic ...
After History
What if, living in the past and for the past was no longer tenable - no longer acceptable? What if, being stuck in the past became a force for alienation, breaking down and coming to seem like a false consciousness divorced from the present and from all true human happiness? What if history were dead? Would that matter...? After History: On the Death of History, and the New Culture by Dr. Piotr Stolarski, gets to grip with the pretensions and soul-destroying irrelevance of academic history - arguing that a new existential historiography abandoning a Man-centred Englightenment vision (and now allied to philosophy and theology) is possible and necessary. Analysing the significance, practices and characteristics of History in detail, the author argues for the abandonment of a History dead to and disdainful of the present, and sketches the possibilities left to historians after the "Death of History" - embodied in a Neo-Renaissance eclecticism allying faith to a reformed historiography.

Legal Knowledge and Information Systems
This book includes papers from the twentieth JURIX conference (first organized in 1988). Over the years JURIX has become more and more international. JURIX is originally a Dutch/Belgian initiative. Nowadays, the conference papers are in majority from non-Dutch authors, and since 2002 JURIX is held outside the Netherlands and Belgium every other year. Most accepted papers can largely be fitted into either work on argumentation or work on ontology. Argumentation has been a JURIX-topic during all past years, and the interest in ontology has revived recently with Semantic Web initiatives. The topic.
Multidisciplinary Research and Practice for Informations Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP WG 8.4, 8.9, TC 5 International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop on Availability, Reliability and Security, CD-ARES 2012, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2012. The 50 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the volume. The papers concentrate on the many aspects of information systems bridging the gap between research results in computer science and the many application fields. They are organized in the following topical sections: cross-domain applications: aspects of modeling and validation; trust,security, privacy, and safety; mobile applications; data processing and management; retrieval and complex query processing; e-commerce; and papers from the colocated International Workshop on Security and Cognitive Informatics for Homeland Defense, SeCIHD 2012.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733-1795
A major new assessment of the "vanished kingdom" of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth--one which recognizes its achievements before its destruction Richard Butterwick tells the compelling story of the last decades of one of Europe's largest and least understood polities: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Drawing on the latest research, Butterwick vividly portrays the turbulence the Commonwealth experienced. Far from seeing it as a failed state, he shows the ways in which it overcame the stranglehold of Russia and briefly regained its sovereignty, the crowning success of which took place on 3 May 1791--the passing of the first Constitution of modern Europe.
