Sources on Jewish Self-Government in the Polish Lands from Its Inception to the Present
"This source-reader invites you to encounter the world of one thousand years of Jewish self-government in eastern Europe. It tells about the beginnings in the Middle Ages, delves into the unfolding of communal hierarchies and supra-communal representation in the early modern period, and reflects on the impact of the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and of growing state interference, as well as on the communist and post-communist periods. Translated into English from Hebrew, Latin, Yiddish, Polish, Russian, German, and other languages, in most cases for the first time, the sources illustrate communal life, the interdependence of civil and religious leadership, the impact of state legislation, Jewish-non-Jewish encounters, reform projects and political movements, but also Jewish resilience during the Holocaust"--
Books of the Body
We usually see the Renaissance as a marked departure from older traditions, but Renaissance scholars often continued to cling to the teachings of the past. For instance, despite the evidence of their own dissections, which contradicted ancient and medieval texts, Renaissance anatomists continued to teach those outdated views for nearly two centuries. In Books of the Body, Andrea Carlino explores the nature and causes of this intellectual inertia. On the one hand, anatomical practice was constrained by a reverence for classical texts and the belief that the study of anatomy was more properly part of natural philosophy than of medicine. On the other hand, cultural resistance to dissection and dismemberment of the human body, as well as moral and social norms that governed access to cadavers and the ritual of their public display in the anatomy theater, also delayed anatomy's development. A fascinating history of both Renaissance anatomists and the bodies they dissected, this book will interest anyone studying Renaissance science, medicine, art, religion, and society.

Przeskalowanie urban governance
Autor skoncentrował swoją uwagę na relacjach między aktywnością administracji samorządowej, widzianej w perspektywie submiejskiej, metropolitalnej/aglomeracyjnej, państwowej i transnarodowej, a procesami urban governance z udziałem mieszkańców. (…) Interesująca jest twórcza próba nawiązania do koncepcji przeskalowania państwa Neila Brennera w odniesieniu do aktywności miejskiej administracji samorządowej polskich miast wojewódzkich (…). Walorem pracy jest przedstawienie „pozamiejskiej” interpretacji mechanizmów zaangażowania mieszkańców w lokalny proces decyzyjny w kontekście zadania wzmocnienia pozycji wspólnot samorządowych w strukturze państwa. (…) Jes...
