Książka ukazuje po raz pierwszy w szerokim, genetycznym i problemowym wymiarze różnorodność polskiej grafiki artystycznej, przejawiającą się już w okresie jej kształtowania się przypadającym na lata 1897-1917. Zarysowuje zasadnicze etapy rozwoju tej aspirującej do samodzielności dyscypliny, definiuje wyłaniające się w jej ramach nurty, prezentuje współtworzących je artystów, charakteryzuje podejmowane przez nich poszukiwania i eksperymenty. Przedmiotem badań są tu w znacznej mierze dzieła graficzne dotychczas nieopracowane i niepublikowane, często ryciny twórców nieuwzględnionych w historiografii polskiej sztuki.

Cornell University Press, 1983 8vo (21.5 cm), X, 150 pp. Laminated wrappers (canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). This thoughtful and penetrating book, addressed to political scientists, sociologists, historians, and anthropologists, interprets nationalism in terms of its social roots, which it locates in industrial social organization. Professor Gellner asserts here that a society's affluence and economic growth depend on innovation, occupational mobility, the effectiveness of the mass media, universal literacy, and an all-embracing educational system based on a shared, standard idiom. These factors, taken together, govern the relationship between culture and the state. Political units that do not conform to the principle, "one state, one culture" feel the strain in the form of nationalistic activity.

Cambridge University Press, 1991 8vo (21.5 cm), VIII, 191 pp. Laminated wrappers (canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). From the blurb: "Eric Hobsbawm's brilliant enquiry into the question of nationalism won further acclaim for his 'colossal stature ... his incontrovertible excellence as an historian, and his authoritative and highly readable prose'. Recent events in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics have since reinforced the central importance of nationalism in the history of political evolution and upheaval. This second edition has been updated in the light of those events, with a final chapter addressing the impact of the dramatic changes that have taken place. It also includes additional maps to illustrate nationalities, languages and political divisions across Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2010 8vo (22 cm), VIII, 278 pp. Publisher's cloth backed boards and dust jacket. "In eight case studies by leading scholars in history, archaeology, business, economics, geography, and political science, the authors showcase the “natural experiment” or “comparative method” - well-known in any science concerned with the past - on the discipline of human history. That means, according to the editors, “comparing, preferably quantitatively and aided by statistical analyses, different systems that are similar in many respects, but that differ with respect to the factors whose influence one wishes to study.” The case studies in the book support two overall conclusions about the study of human history: First, historical comparisons have the potential for yielding insights that cannot be extracted from a single case study alone. Second, insofar as is possible, when one proposes a conclusion, one may be able to strengthen… Read More
