Autorka oferuje nam dostęp do świata wyobrażeń, pieczołowicie odtwarzając ślady wielosetletniej tradycji radzenia sobie z odmiennością sąsiadów. Wartość książki polega z jednej strony na zapoznaniu czytelnika ze źródłami, których nie znają nawet zawodowi historycy, od kalendarzy i twórczości ludowej po przysłowia. (…) Drugi walor książki to stworzenie bazy porównawczej, przygotowanej w trakcie badania codzienności stosunków w Polsce zachodniej i centralnej, a przydatnej także w badaniach innych regionów: Prus Wschodnich i Pomorza Gdańskiego, Śląska Górnego, Opolskiego i Cieszyńskiego, obu Galicji i Wołynia, wreszcie powstałej w latach 1918–1919 Łotwy...

Islamic Fashion and Anti-Fashion is the first comparative study of this highly topical issue and brings together cutting-edge contributions from leading scholars.
This publication is devoted to management in modern economies and the place and role of managers in contemporary societies. The contributors show the complex problems of managing organisations from the perspective of two countries: Japan and Poland. The comparison brings fascinating conclusions about the essence of management and economic, social and cultural capitals present in these seemingly distant two worlds. However, a more detailed analysis also shows similarities in the functioning of managers, modern leadership, the social role of a manager and the capitalist economy and post-capitalist society of Japan and Poland. The editors of this book have been cooperating for several years; they are trying to combine economic and sociological perspectives in research on contemporary capitalist economies and modern postcapitalist societies.
The present volume On Words and Sounds is a collection of selected papers from PLM 2009. The Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM) is an annual international general linguistics conference. The book consists of fifteen articles, each of which can be read separately or in relation to others. The book will definitely appeal to the academic readership interested in linguistic disciplines such as: phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, pragmatics and clinical linguistics. Collectively, the contributions investigate the interrelationships among those disciplines as well as between language and music. The central aim for the scholars was to explore the PLM 2009 leitmotif “Variants, Variability, Variation” and show that the complete study of language involves diversified frameworks often rooted in interdisciplinary approaches.

The ensuing violence forced those living in European border regions to decide on their national identity - German or Polish.
