Szczerze, dowcipnie i bezkompromisowo. Marek Cieślak rozlicza się z żużlowym światkiem. Kto sięgnął po tytuł IMP na kacu? Który prezes nazywał siebie chujem? Jakie tajemnice kryje błoto na częstochowskim torze? Jest tylko jeden człowiek w Polsce, który zna wiele podobnych historii. I nie boi się o nich otwarcie opowiedzieć. Po sukcesie bestsellera Pół wieku na czarno Marek Cieślak powraca, by rozliczyć się z przeszłością i żużlowym środowiskiem. Wyjaśnia, w jakich okolicznościach pojednał się z Tomaszem Gollobem, dlaczego nie został kolegą z Rafałem Dobruckim, kiedy popełnił błąd kosztem Bartosza Zmarzlika, z jakiego powodu Rune Holta wyzwał go od kłamców i co poszło nie tak w kontaktach z Maciejem Janowskim. Nie mogło też zabraknąć kulisów rozstania z reprezentacją Polski. Książka Rozliczenie to prawdziwe oblicze dyscypliny widzianej oczami człowieka, który od ponad 55 lat znajduje się w jej centrum. Nikt inny w żużlowym środowisku nie ma prawa, by powiedzieć tyle i tak dosadnie. Marek Cieślak zapracował na to sukcesami, charyzmą i bezkompromisowością. Przysiądź się i posłuchaj jego opowieści!
New computerized approaches to various problems have become critically important in healthcare. Computer assisted diagnosis has been extended towards a support of the clinical treatment. Mathematical information analysis, computer applications together with medical equipment and instruments have become standard tools underpinning the current rapid progress with developing Computational Intelligence. We are witnessing a radical change as technologies have been integrated into systems that address the core of medicine, including patient care in ambulatory and in-patient setting, disease prevention, health promotion, rehabilitation and home care. Computer aided diagnosis and treatment systems i...
The lands Germany ceded to Poland after World War I included more than one million ethnic Germans for whom the change meant a sharp reversal of roles. The Polish government now confronted a German minority in a region where power relationships had been the other way around for more than a century. Orphans of Versailles examines the complex psychological and political situation of Germans consigned to Poland, their treatment by the Polish government and society, their diverse strategies for survival, their place in international relations, and the impact of National Socialism. Not a one-sided study of victimization, this book treats the contributions of both the Polish state and the German minority to the conflict that culminated in their mutual destruction. Based largely on research in European archives, it sheds new light on a key aspect of German-Polish relations, one that was long overshadowed by concern over the German revanchist threat and the hostility that subsequently dominated the German-Polish relationship. Thanks to the new political situation in central Europe, however, this topic can finally be addressed evenhandedly.
This book discusses how tourism between neighboring countries like Poland and Germany is hindered despite the Schengen Treaty. Taking protected areas in north-eastern Germany and north-western Poland as exemplary cases, it analyses the phenomenon of socio-economic and cultural barriers for cross-border tourism. It also presents the results of a representative online survey in both countries, and discusses socio-economic and geographical research on border areas, nature tourism in protected areas, national stereotypes and prejudices. As one of the very few source market studies on protected area tourism, it is relevant for scholars and practitioners (protected area managers, tourism professionals) alike providing them with insights into the implications for future research and tourism practice.
Looking for an answer of social science: being able to maintain political independence; without loosing genuine political orientation and responsibility; and at the same time maintaining a sophisticated balance of holistic orientation on the one side and discrimination on the other side is, of course, on the one hand bound to the objective conditions of society; on the other hand -- and even more so -- scientists have to accept their responsibility of (re-)gaining independence in terms of looking for valid answers to assess development and to change them where necessary rather than fulfilling 'expectations of the development' by simply maintaining the status quo. In this regard, the present contributions reach a high level of expertise in their independence of judgements. This is of particular interest, as they cover a huge variety of topics and areas, not least coming from different disciplinary backgrounds and as well looking at different aggregate levels.
Understanding the politics of Higher Education is becoming more important as the sector is increasingly recognised as a vital source of innovation, skills, economic prosperity, and personal wellbeing. Yet key political differences remain over such issues as who should pay for higher education, how should it be accountable, and how we measure its quality and productivity. Particularly, are states or markets the key in helping to address such matters. The Handbook provides framing perspectives and perspectives, chapters on funding, governance and regulation, and pieces on the political economy of higher education and on the increased role of external stakeholders and indicators.
