Zaginione królestwa
Norman Davies zabiera nas w oszałamiającą podróż przez wieki dziejów. Pokazuje egzotyczne stolice i mówiące niemal wymarłymi językami narody. Przedstawia nam nieznaną historię Europy, ale i opowiada o nas samych: o Galicji, Prusach, Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim. Czy jakiś inny historyk miałby na tyle wyobraźni, żeby połączyć ze sobą upadek ZSRR, historię Gdańska i państwo barbarzyńskich Wizygotów? Po lekturze Zaginionych Królestw nikt już nie będzie mógł traktować uporządkowanego świata historii ze szkolnych podręczników jak prawdy objawionej. Burgundia nie będzie kojarzyć się wyłącznie z winem, a Aragonia z Aragornem z Tolkienowskiego Władcy Pierścieni. Nie trzeba już chyba nikogo przekonywać, że proza Normana Daviesa to literacka uczta. Ale Norman Davies potrafi też dzięki swoim książkom czegoś nas nauczyć. Zaginione Królestwa uzmysławiają, że historia nieustannie kotłuje się i bynajmniej nie zmierza do „końca”. Wręcz przeciwnie, nie miejmy wątpliwości, świat wokół nas wcześniej czy później odejdzie w przeszłość. Tak jak odeszły światy, które Norman Davies ożywia w Zaginionych Królestwach.
Musical Worlds in Yogyakarta
Musical Worlds in Yogyakarta addresses themes of social identity and power, counterpoising Pierre Bourdieu’s theories on class, gender and nation with the author’s alternative perspectives of inter-group social capital, physicality and grounded cosmopolitanism. The author argues that Yogyakarta is exemplary of how everyday people make use of music to negotiate issues of power and at the same time promote peace and intergroup appreciation in culturallydiverse inner-city settings.

The Balkan Conditional in South Slavic
This study examines the morphological and semantic development of the modal construction formed with either the imperfect of 'to want' (Croatian/Serbian) plus the infinitive, or with a modal particle from 'to want' (Macedonian) plus the imperfect of the main verb. The Balkan conditional is analyzed using material from diverse sources, including epic folk poetry, dialectal texts, and the standard literary language in the South Slavic languages, as well as in the Balkan non-Slavic languages of Greek, Albanian, Daco-Rumanian, Istro-Rumanian, and Arumanian. Specific syntactic and semantic contexts are analyzed, and the Balkan conditional is compared to other modal constructions in these language...

Governing the Bomb
'Go nuclear' or 'go zero'--as the international community stands at a nuclear crossroads, a number of questions demand urgent attention: How do established and emerging nuclear-armed states manage their nuclear affairs? Who commands and controls a country's nuclear forces? What effect does the balance between secrecy and openness have on larger questions of security and democracy? Governing Nuclear Weapons is grounded in the belief that the public's ability to hold nuclear-armed states accountable for the security of their weapons is contingent on proper knowledge of domestic nuclear governance. With a special emphasis on civilian control and democratic accountability, it seeks to illuminate...
