Poland Alone
Poland was the 'tripwire' that brought Britain into the Second World War, but it was largely the fear of the new Nazi-Soviet Pact rather than the cementing of an old relationship that created the formal alliance. But neither Britain, nor Poland's older ally, France, had the material means to prevent Poland being overrun in 1939. The broadcast, 'Poland is no longer alone' had a distinctly hollow ring. During the next four years the Polish Government in exile and armed forces made a significant contribution to the allied war effort; in return the Polish Home Army received a paltry 600 tons of supplies. Poland Alone focuses on the bloody Warsaw Uprising of 1944, when the Polish Resistance attempted to gain control of their city from the German Army. They expected help from the Allies but received none, and they were left helpless as the Russians moved in. The War ended with over five million Poles dead, three million of whom died in the concentration camps.Jonathan Walker examines whether Britain could have done more to save the Polish people in their crisis year of 1944, dealing with many different aspects such as the actions of the RAF and SOE, the role of Polish Couriers, the failure of British Intelligence and the culpability of the British Press.

Made in Poland
Stanisław Likiernik (ur. 1923) – jeden z dwóch pierwowzorów słynnego "Kolumba" – Stanisława Skiernika z powieści Romana Bratnego Kolumbowie. Rocznik 20. To jego wojenne doświadczenia złożyły się na literacką postać, która dała nazwę całemu pokoleniu, legendzie Polski Walczącej. Po siedemdziesięciu latach od Powstania Warszawskiego zdecydował się opowiedzieć o wstrząsających, prawdziwych losach żołnierzy i dowódców AK, o kulisach pracy w dywersji, o trudnych wyborach dotyczących życia i śmierci wrogów i przyjaciół. Stanisław Likiernik jako żołnierz Kedywu brał udział w najważniejszych akcjach sabotażowych, wykonywał wyroki podziemnego sądu. W Powstaniu Warszawskim walczył na Woli, Starym Mieście i Czerniakowie. Był kilkakrotnie ranny. Został odznaczony orderem Virtuti Militari i Krzyżem Walecznych. Od 68 lat na emigracji we Francji. Nigdy nie krył swojego krytycznego stosunku do powstania. O grupie dowódców wysyłających bohaterską młodzież na barykady mówi bardzo ostro (podkreślając, że nie dotyczy to J. Bokszczanina i K. Iranka-Osmeckiego). Jednocześnie broni honoru, godności i solidarności powstańczej młodzieży. - Byliśmy żołnierzami, musieliśmy wykonywać rozkazy - przypomina. Jego zdaniem rozsądek nie musi oznaczać tchórzostwa, chłodna analiza nie musi być podszyta cynizmem, a obrona wolności nie musi być samobójstwem. Tę wiarę ukształtowały w nim wspomnienia młodości. I o tym jest ta książka: o pokoleniu Kolumbów, którego Stanisław Likiernik jest jednym z ostatnich przedstawicieli, o polskości, która nie musi być skażona przekleństwem nacjonalizmu i o odwadze, której nie można mylić z zamiłowaniem do bohaterskiego umierania.

Poland Can Into Space
Witam w świecie przyszłości, kiedy to w końcu udało nam się udać w gwiazdy. Jako stu dwudziesty pierwszy kraj, ale jednak. „Ruszycie do miejsca niespełnionych marzeń o potędze, sławie i bogactwie. Staniecie się symbolem swoich czasów”. Tak twierdziły broszury reklamujące nabór ochotników na misję. A jaka rzeczywistość spotkała czwórkę bohaterów tego komiksu? Przekonajcie się. A kto bierze udział w misji? Pan wiecznie niezadowolony, mechanik Andrzej. Luzak i matematyk w jednym, Janusz (biznesu). Stonowany, choć nie zawsze, główny naukowiec, Zbigniew. Oraz dowódca, zwykle nieprzygotowany do wszystkiego i do niczego, Włodzimierz. Przy okazji na kartach niniejszej pozycji znajdziecie: - dużą dawkę humoru sytuacyjnego, bo jak odlatywać, to z pozytywną energią! - trochę twardej nauki i teorii naukowych. Nie powinno to nikomu zaszkodzić — przynajmniej tak twierdzą badania. - sentymentalne nawiązania do polskiej popkultury z lat 90-tych. Bo kiedyś to były czasy, a teraz nie ma czasów. - odwołania do współczesnych memów. Aby bawić się, aby bawić się na całego! - misję, która wystartowała tylko dzięki wiedzy zaczerpniętej z literatury i filmów science-fiction. Jak się uczyć to od najlepszych (pisarzy, scenarzystów)! - treść odpowiednia dla każdego – małego czytelnika i dużego. No to jak, polecicie? Pamiętajcie, że taka okazja może się za naszych czasów nie powtórzyć.

Why is Poland actually called Poland and not Lechland?
Poland is actually called Poland because the name "Poland" is derived from the name of the Polans, a West Slavic tribe that inhabited the region in the early Middle Ages. The name "Lechland" comes from the legendary founder of the Polish nation, Lech, but it is not the official name of the country. The name "Poland" has been used for centuries and is recognized internationally, so it remains the official name of the country.

Corporate financial communication in Poland
Companies listed in stock exchanges need to actively engage with investors but little research has been done into corporate communication practices in emerging markets. The goal of this book is to describe the textual communication between companies listed at the Warsaw Stock Exchange, equity analysts and investors. We present the results of three empirical studies of financial texts written in the Polish language: financial reports, letters to shareholders and sell-side analyst reports. The studies combine the methods of finance and language pragmatics to develop a rich picture of the causes and effects of financial communication. We contribute this study of communication in the Polish language to the growing literature on the role of language and communication in the functioning of financial markets. The first chapter contains the theory and concepts of corporate disclosure. The second chapter presents the country setting and the information environment in Poland. The third chapter discusses the characteristics of language used in financial texts. The final chapter presents empirical research that we carried out using content analysis methods, experiments and market-based research methods. The methodological workshop presented in this book can be used by students and researchers who study financial communication. The description of communication strategies can be useful for business people who work with companies in Poland.

Good Neighbourhood Treaties of Poland
This volume explores the bilateral treaties concluded after 1990 between the Republic of Poland and its neighbouring states (Germany, then-Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Belarus and Lithuania), known as treaties on neighbourly relations or good neighbourhood treaties. These treaties, through which Poland and its neighbours were able to establish their political, security and social relations, were extremely significant in that they provided a unique way for them to organise their interstate post-Cold War relations. This book analyses the consequences of these treaties and addresses a variety of issues, including security policy and cooperation, migration, national minority rights, economic cooperation, education, and cross-border cooperation.
