The Palace of Culture and Science is a massive Stalinist skyscraper that was "gifted" to Warsaw by the Soviet Union in 1955. Framing the Palace's visual, symbolic, and functional prominence in the everyday life of the Polish capital as a sort of obsession, locals joke that their city suffers from a "Palace of Culture complex." Despite attempts to privatize it, the Palace remains municipally owned, and continues to play host to a variety of public institutions and services. The Parade Square, which surrounds the building, has resisted attempts to convert it into a money-making commercial center. Author Michał Murawski traces the skyscraper's powerful impact on 21st century Warsaw; on its architectural and urban landscape; on its political, ideological, and cultural lives; and on the bodies and minds of its inhabitants. The Palace Complex explores the many factors that allow Warsaw's Palace to endure as a still-socialist building in a post-socialist city.
This book represents the results of an extensive survey, carried out by the University of Nottingham at the request of the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at the University of York, into public opinions on the reuse of graves. The survey covered many related topics as well and, as a result, the book provides an insight into public attitudes to virtually all aspects of death and the disposal of the dead. It is consequently a landmark study and will be of interest to a broad spectrum of those whose profession deals in any way with death, as well as to sociologists, historians, theologians and others interested in the place of funeral memorialisation and death in contemporary Britain.

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists use this property extensively to construct artificial bone grafts that are either entirely made of or only surface-coated with the biologically relevant calcium orthophospha
