The Jewish Leaderships in Slovakia and Hungary During the Holocaust Era
This book challenges the established narratives surrounding the Holocaust. The focus of this book is the comparative study of the history of two Jewish communities in Central Europe, Slovakia and Hungary, during the Holocaust.

Historical Practices in Horsemanship and Equestrian Sports
New things are forgotten old things - this rediscovery of the past is especially important in horsemanship and equestrian sports. Despite advances in sciences and technology, the physiologies and psychologies of the two principal agents, the equid and the human, have undergone relatively few changes since horse domestication.

Addressing the mediating role of the Balkans between East and West all the way to Poland and Lithuania, as well as this region’s contribution to the larger Mediterranean artistic and cultural melting pot, this innovative volume explores ideas, artworks and stories that moved through these territories linking the cultures of Central Asia with those of western Europe.
