In my 20s. 26 lekcji, które dałabym młodszej sobie
Aleksandra Pawlik
Dlaczego nikt nie dał nam instrukcji obsługi dorosłości? Jako nastolatkowie wyobrażaliśmy to sobie zupełnie inaczej. Ekscytowaliśmy się wizją pełnoletniości, przekonani, że po osiemnastce świat stanie przed nami otworem. A potem nastąpiło zderzenie z rzeczywistością. Szkoła uczy wzoru skróconego mnożenia, ale nie tego, jak sobie poradzić z poczuciem zagubienia, wszechobecną presją i porównywaniem się do idealnych obrazków na Instagramie. Twoje życie po dwudziestce, które miało być kwintesencją długo upragnionej dorosłości, okazuje się chaosem: niepewnych decyzji, relacji bez etykiet i ciągłego poczucia stania w miejscu, podczas gdy wszyscy inni biegną do przodu. To czas nawigowania po omacku w świecie, którego zasad dopiero się uczysz, i ciągłej walki o to, by nie dać się wcisnąć w cudze definicje szczęścia i sukcesu. In My 20s to nie jest kolejny poradnik, który powie Ci, jak żyć. W tej książce Aleksandra Pawlik, twórczyni internetowa i autorka podcastu Opowieści Różnej Treści, zebrała 26 szczerych lekcji, które sama chciałaby usłyszeć, wchodząc w dorosłość. To głos starszej siostry, która chwyci Cię za rękę i powie: "Chodź, tędy będzie trochę łatwiej. Nie jesteś w tym sam/sama". To przewodnik po dorosłości nieidealnej, nieoczywistej i czasem absurdalnej ― właśnie takiej, jaką większość z nas naprawdę przeżywa.

In New York with the Tucker Twins
Emma Speed Sampson
In New York with the Tucker Twins is a sixth book in the Tucker Twins series, written by an American author of juvenile fiction and a movie censor Emma Speed Sampson and published between 1915 and 1924. Nominally its a boarding school series, but actually only two of the books are set at school. Our heroine is 15 year-old Page Allison, a doctors daughter, raised in a rural Virginia community where she has no companionship with girls her own age. On her way to school for the first time, she meets the Tucker family, a set of twins nicknamed Dee and Dum who will be her best friends, and their startlingly young and sprightly widowed father. In it, Page Allison and the Tucker Twins head to New York City for a great adventure...
Ellis Parker Butler
Excerpt from In Pawn: Lem Redding had a dimple in his cheek that appeared when he smiled. For a boy with a faceful of freckles he was pretty. He had dear, bright gray eyes, and his smile, aided by the dimple, made most folks love him at sight. His hair was brown, as his dead mothers had been; in fact he was much like that mother in more ways than one-far more like her than he was like Harvey Redding, his father. Lem was quick, agile, lively, and Harvey was plumb lazy. This book presents In Pawn (1921), from Ellis Parker Butler. Butler, the author of more than 30 books and more than 2,000 stories and essays, is most famous for his short story Pigs is Pigs.
Fenton Ash
The works of Fenton Ash are highly prized among bibliophile collectors of classic sci-fi and fantasy. Fenton Ash was a pseudonym of Francis Henry Atkins (1847-1927), who contributed widely to the pre-science fiction pulp magazines, writing at least three Lost-World novels along with much else. In Polar Seas is a romance of adventure in the frozen North, targeted mainly at juvenile readers but billed as being for readers of all ages, it describes the adventures of a team of British explorers who discover a lost Viking civilization in a hitherto unknown temperate zone near the North Pole. If you havent discovered the joys of Fenton Ashs adventures there is a good place to start. Highly recommended!

In Quest of Identity. Studies on the Persianate World
Opracowanie zbiorowe
red. Mirosław Michalak, Magdalena Rodziewicz Stability and changeability of identities, especially in the context of their disappearance and revival, is one of the leitmotifs of the current publication, which is a fruit of a collective effort of scholars who represent diverse areas of the humanities and varied approaches to the issue of identity in the lands occupied by the Persian-language civilization. Treating the issue of identity in an interdisciplinary manner made it possible to present it from a variety of standpoints, consequently yielding a complex picture of the matter. Moreover, as it often happens when an interest in a certain research problem is shared by many specialists, new perspectives were discovered. The effect of synergy that emerged during the preparation of this publication undoubtedly adds to its quality. In addition, whereas sociologists and psychologists have long conducted research on identity or identities, an approach to the subject made from the point of view of Oriental Studies is to some extent an innovation and constitutes an interesting challenge.
In Search of a Legal Model of Self-Employment in Poland. A Comparative Legal Analysis Part II
Tomasz Duraj
This monograph is the result of the work of scholars from various European countries who joined the research project funded by the National Science Centre and led by Tomasz Duraj, titled "In Search of a Legal Model of Self-Employment in Poland. A Comparative Legal Analysis". The chief research objective tackled by the project participants consisted in a complex legal ana lysis of self-employment - not only from the perspective of Polish regulations and case law, but also with regard to solutions existing in international law, European Union law, and selected European countries. The area of study covered the legal systems of the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Spain, France, ltaly, Hungary, as well as Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Research design was rather innovative. To date, no large-scale research had been conducted into the legal environment as it pertains to self-employment, encompassing not only the Polish regulations and case law, but also the solutions adopted in international law, European Union law, and the laws of selected European countries. The inclusion of the regulations on self-employment in other countries, processed to fit within in the framework of a structured study, provides added value for Polish legal scholarship. This monograph contains an analysis of self-employment under the law of the Baltic States and under Polish law. The concluding chapter presents the final results of the research carried out as part of the research project. On their basis, an attempt was made to create an optimal legal model of self-employment in Poland. The comments as to the potential future regulatory approaches are designed to help the Polish legislator draft a new law on the legal status of self-employed workers, in order to systematically and comprehensively regulate the key aspects of self-employed work, with particular emphasis on the social protection of the workers. Its implementation will contribute to resolving a number of disputes and clarifying a number of doubts that currently exist in legal scholarship and in case law. The proposed optimal legal model of self-employment in Poland outlined in this monograph has a universal dimension, going much beyond self-employment as such. The research results suggest certain conclusions that offer a springboard for a broader discussion about the future of labour law. They encourage reflection on the need and legitimacy of expanding the applicability of protective regulations of labour law, with a view to bringing under their umbrella various new groups of workers who provide work, independently, outside the employment relationship (in particular under conditions of dependence on the client). The scope of this protection and manner of its differentiation require further critical reflection and development. The monograph is primarily addressed to legal academics, students, legislators, judges and representatives of other legal professions, social partners, practitioners and other circles interested in the issue of atypical forms of employment.
