The Use of Force in UN Peace Operations
One of the most vexing issues that has faced the international community since the end of the Cold War has been the use of force by the United Nations peacekeeping forces. UN intervention in civil wars, as in Somalia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Rwanda, has thrown into stark relief the difficulty of peacekeepers operating in situations where consent to their presence and activities is fragile or incomplete and where there is little peace to keep. Complex questions arise in these circumstances. When and how should peacekeepers use force to protect themselves, to protect their mission, or, most troublingly, to ensure compliance by recalcitrant parties with peace accords? Is a peace enforcement...
Alice and Bob Meet Banach
The quest to build a quantum computer is arguably one of the major scientific and technological challenges of the twenty-first century, and quantum information theory (QIT) provides the mathematical framework for that quest. Over the last dozen or so years, it has become clear that quantum information theory is closely linked to geometric functional analysis (Banach space theory, operator spaces, high-dimensional probability), a field also known as asymptotic geometric analysis (AGA). In a nutshell, asymptotic geometric analysis investigates quantitative properties of convex sets, or other geometric structures, and their approximate symmetries as the dimension becomes large. This makes it es...
Rewolucja Solidarności
Fascynująca historia jedynego okresu w całej historii Polski Ludowej, w której władza naprawdę musiała liczyć się z Narodem. Szesnaście miesięcy, które minęły od porozumień sierpniowych do wprowadzenia stanu wojennego, to najdziwniejszy czas w historii rządzonej przez komunistów Polski. Wtedy po raz pierwszy społeczeństwo mogło zadać pytania, które dziś – w różnych odmianach – nie schodzą z pierwszych stron gazet. Jaka ma być Polska? Jak wyjść z biedy? W jaki sposób zasypać rosnącą przepaść cywilizacyjną między nami a Zachodem? Wszystko to w atmosferze zagrożenia sowiecką interwencją oraz represjami ze strony „rodzimego” aparatu władzy. Andrzej Friszke – jeden z najwybitniejszych polskich historyków – przewodnikiem po tej zagmatwanej epoce czyni Jacka Kuronia. Jak sam pisze: „jest to zarazem biografia polityczna Jacka Kuronia, historia Solidarności, ale też historia polskiego kryzysu 1980–1981”. To kolejna, po nagradzanych Anatomii Buntu oraz Czasie KOR-u, niezwykle wnikliwa panorama najnowszych dziejów Polski.

Sfera E Il Labirinto
"Tafuri's work is probably the most innovative and exciting new form of European theory since French poststructuralism and this book is probably the best introduction to it for the newcomer. ..."
