Antek

Bolesław Prus

Przez ten rok kołysał siostrę, a przez cały następny rozglądał się po świecie. Raz wpadł w rzekę, drugi raz dostał batem od przejezdnego furmana za to, że go o mało konie nie stratowały, a trzeci raz psy tak go pogryzły, że dwa tygodnie leżał na piecu. Doświadczył więc niemało. Za to w czwartym roku życia ojciec podarował mu swoją sukienną kamizelkę z mosiężnym guzikiem, a matka kazała mu siostrę nosić. (Fragment)

The Lost Princess of Oz

L. Frank Baum

Who is stealing almost all of the magical treasures of Oz including the Magic Picture, the Wizards black bag, and Glindas Book of Records? Dorothy and her friends set out to comb all of Oz, not only for magic stolen from Glinda and the Wizard, but also for the kidnapped princess, Ozma. Along the way, they explore regions never seen in other Oz books, meeting strange and interesting people and animals, and falling into peril more than once. Deep in the Winkie Country, Dorothys search party learns that Ozma is the prisoner of a mysterious villain. But if their new foe is powerful enough to steal Princess Ozma and all their magical treasures, how will they defeat him with no magic of their own? In this 1917 addition to the Oz series, L. Frank Baum delights readers of all ages with a spellbinding mystery that involves nearly every one of the amazing cast of characters that populate Americas favorite fairyland.

Żydzi dnia powszedniego

Jehoszua Perle

Płacz kotów za oknem wyrwał mnie ze snu. Leżałem zwrócony twarzą do pleców ojca i wdychałem kwaśny zapach jego ciężkiego, owłosionego ciała. Ojciec głośno chrapał. Chwilami zachłystywał się, bo w gardle zaczynało mu coś bulgotać. Widocznie większy kawałek flegmy dawał o sobie znać. Uniosłem powoli głowę ponad kościste ramię ojca i spróbowałem rozejrzeć się po pokoju. Na komodzie, ciemniejącej między łóżkami rodziców, stała mała lampa naftowa, która rzucała słabe zakopcone światło. Szkiełko lampy wykreśliło na nisko osadzonej belce pod sufitem małe świetlne kółko, które, drgając, rozcinało obszary ciemności izby (Fragment)

GIS in Higher Education in Poland. Curriculums, Issues, Discussion

Iwona Jaźdźewska

 The idea for this publication was barn in June 2015, during a meeting of Polish teachers involved with Geographic lnformation Systems. The meeting was initiated by the Department of Geoinformation, Faculty of Geographical Sciences, University of Łódź, which received a grant to organize it. The discussion and presentations from academic teachers representing various universities in Poland were very interesting and sometimes heated. lt would be advisable for other educators to familiarise themselves with the aspects of GIS education among Polish geographers, foresters, surveyors and other users. The experience of Geoinformation education in Poland is still modest, so the views of people who have been involved at Polish universities with it since the 1990s should be interesting to readers. Geographic lnformation Systems (GIS) - the integration of environmental and climate issues as an important factor for economic development and quality of life – an innovative second-degree studies.
