The turbulent history of Poland has long attracted international interest. In this wide-ranging survey, Anita J. Prazmowska explores the story of Poland from early settlements, through to the emergence of the Kingdom of Poland, the loss of independence and its eventual re-acquisition after the First World War, and ends with an assessment of the present day state. A History of Poland is a lucid examination of the rise of a state which, throughout centuries, spanned the civilizations of the West and East. Prazmowska explains the roots of Polish Christianity and accounts for its tenacity. She also offers a bold analysis of the origins and background to the development of a deeply patriotic nation, discussing the political and cultural roots of Polish nationalism while at the same time demonstrating why the Polish Question has been an insoluble problem in European politics. Placing the complex history of Poland in the context of most major European events, this essential guide fully explains the country's place in European consciousness.

The construction of new nations and peoples in the nineteenth century forms the middle third, and the final section analyzes economic development, rising political participation, and the search of identity over the last century.

History of Germany
Автор: Peter Wende Жанр: Palgrave Издательство: Palgrave Год: 2004 Страниц: 224 Дата загрузки: 08 марта 20092006-05-28
|
|
Even a brief glance at the maps of what has, or might have, been called Germany through the ages reveals a kaleidoscope of alterations in shape and composition. Though there are elements of continuity, the history of Germany has been the history of nearly constant change. In this concise introduction to Germany's fascinating past, Peter Wende provides an approachable historical interpretation of the key periods and turning points from Roman times to the present. Wende shows that, throughout the course of 2000 years, German history is actually the history of many Germanies, and that it can be written neither just as the history of a region nor of a political, ethnic or cultural formation. Focussing on key points in Germany's political, social and economic development, this guide is ideal for all those with an interest in the complex and compelling history of one of Europe's main nation-states.

With the accelerating integration of China into the global economy, there is a thirst to understand Chinese leadership styles and how Chinese employees like to be managed. There is no doubt that China can be a difficult and risky market for foreign businesses, with many surprises, disappointments and frustrations. China is certainly a special challenge. This engaging new work from Barbara Xiaoyu Wang and Harold Chee emerged out of their experiences of living and working in China both as managers and trainers of Chinese managers and leaders extensively over the last 12 years. The authors experienced and witnessed many faux pas by foreign companies and businessmen and often a major contributing factor was the many assumptions that foreign companies have about not only the Chinese marketplace but how to manage Chinese employees. What are the Chinese leadership styles, the patterns of communications, phenomenon of 'face', 'guanxi', and 'harmony', etc.? This book will dispel the myths that have built up in the West about Chinese Leadership. It has a practical focus and provides a framework for executives and managers to ask the right questions, make the right decisions and take the right strategies.
