A Ty? Boisz się pokochać? Trzydziestoletnia Mia Ross, psychiatra i biegła sądowa ze słonecznej Florydy, lada moment wpadnie w tarapaty, jakich nigdy się nie spodziewała. Główną przyczyną niebezpiecznych zawirowań w jej życiu stanie się oskarżony o zabójstwo partnera swojej matki Blake Maxton, od pierwszego spotkania wywołujący w Mii negatywne odczucia. Wkrótce jednak oboje połączy coś więcej, niż walka ze wspólnym wrogiem... Tylko czy namiętność, jaką do siebie poczują, nie okaże się przyczyną kolejnych problemów? Setki milionów dolarów" to wciągająca, pełna zaskakujących zwrotów akcji opowieść o wielkich pieniądzach i... jeszcze większych uczuciach! Blake był poważny. Poczułam dreszcz błądzący po moim ciele. Było to dość intymne wyznanie, nie brzmiało jak tani podryw. Przyglądałam się mojemu pacjentowi z zaciekawieniem. Próbowałam wywnioskować, czy aby na pewno był ze mną szczery. Łatwo łapałam się na takie słowa i obdarzałam ludzi ślepym zaufaniem.

The book presents the territorial-administrative past, the settlement landscape, and the ownership structure in the area of former Orłów County until the 16th century. On the basis of the so far unexplored manuscript sources from the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw, and the records of the metropolitan chapter in Gniezno, the landscape of medieval settlement in Orłów County has been reconstructed and the estates of the most important local noble families have been discussed. In the course of the research, it was possible to identify new settlement sites and shift the metrics of some of them. The annexes include a list of all identifiable settlement points and genealogical tables. The iconographic section and the geographical index also constitute an important element of the publication. * The publication is scientific in nature. Not only is the author familiar with the latest literature on the subject but he also introduces a number of his own new findings and verifies many of the statements that have functioned in historiography to date, especially those regarding the chronology of the establishment of many settlements. From the review by Professor Zdzisław Noga The publication is scientific in nature and refers to the latest findings on the subject. It should be emphasized, however, that the author refers mainly to earlier publications, especially the 1996 one by Stanisław M. Zajączkowski. Thanks to his search in manuscript sources, he corrects, modifies, and - most importantly - supplements many of the earlier findings! From the review by Professor Jan Szymczak
Leo Tolstoy
Three short stories about the everyday life of besieged Sevastopol a century and a half ago. There are no main characters as such, or rather, each participant, whether an officer or a soldier, at one point or another is in the sight of the authors attention. It is felt that the essays were written by a participant in the events, an eyewitness. In the first part of the work, the writer introduces us to the military situation of that time, the faces of the military through a description of the life of the soldiers, some episodes in my imagination merge into one face of a Russian soldier, who may have to die here.
