The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920

Lloyd George, Lenin and Poland

By: Andrzej Nowak

The Forgotten Appeasement of 1920 examines a turning point in East European history: the summer of 1920, when Lenin’s Soviet Russia decided to challenge the Versailles system and launch a military attack on the continent. The outcome of this attack might have been the occupation of all of Poland and East Central Europe, and a Red Army sweep further west. This book probes the British–Soviet negotiations and diplomatic operations behind the scenes. Professor Nowak uses hitherto unexamined documents from Russian and British archives to show how (and why) top British politicians were ready to accept a new Russian imperial control over the whole of Eastern Europe. Nowak unravels this previously untold story of that first and forgotten appeasement, stopped only by the Polish military victory over the Red Army. His excellent historical craftsmanship and new sources contribute to the book’s quality, filling up a lacuna in contemporary historiography. This book will appeal to researchers of geopolitical affairs and the Great Powers, the history of Poland, and the political mentality of Western elites. It will also be of interest to university students and tutors, scholars of history and international relations and – thanks to the book’s brisk and fascinating narrative – amateur historians and history aficionados.

Poland, Soviet Union, Russia

From past through memory to politics

By: Przemysław Adamczewski,Wojciech Materski,Piotr Madajczyk,Grzegorz Motyka,Krzysztof Persak,Andrzej Paczkowski,Tomasz Stryjek,Konrad Świder

This book contains an overview of many publications by employees of the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw in the field of Eastern studies. We have selected texts on the recent history of Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and communist rule, as well as contemporary Russia and Polish-Russian relations. By making these available to English-speaking readers, on the one hand, we want to present a small part, due to limited space, of the Eastern studies conducted by the Institute and, on the other, pay tribute to their distinguished representative, Richard Pipes. In 2019, according to the last will of this historian, scholar and sovietologist, who died on 18 May 2018, the Institute received his book collection of over three and a half thousand items, mainly concerning Russia and the Soviet Union. These are works of high scientific rank that the scholar collected for over half a century. Acquiring the book collection was the first step towards establishing the Professor Richard Pipes Laboratory. This was possible thanks to funding obtained by the Institute at the end of 2019 from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as part of the Dialogue programme.

Frobenius Algebras

By: Andrzej Skowroński,Kunio Yamagata

This is the first of two volumes which will provide a comprehensive introduction to the modern representation theory of Frobenius algebras. The first part of the book serves as a general introduction to basic results and techniques of the modern representation theory of finite dimensional associative algebras over fields, including the Morita theory of equivalences and dualities and the Auslander-Reiten theory of irreducible morphisms and almost split sequences. The second part is devoted to fundamental classical and recent results concerning the Frobenius algebras and their module categories. Moreover, the prominent classes of Frobenius algebras, the Hecke algebras of Coxeter groups, and the finite dimensional Hopf algebras over fields are exhibited. This volume is self contained and the only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of linear algebra. It includes complete proofs of all results presented and provides a rich supply of examples and exercises. The text is primarily addressed to graduate students starting research in the representation theory of algebras as well as mathematicians working in other fields.

By: Andrzej Kwiecien,Piotr Gaj,Piotr Stera

The continuous and very intense development of IT has resulted in the fast development of computer networks. Computer networks, as well as the entire ?eldofIT,aresubjectto constantchangestriggeredbythegeneraltechnological advancement and the in?uence of new IT technologies.These methods and tools of designing and modeling computer networks are becoming more advanced. Above all, the scope of their application is growing thanks to, for example, the results of new research and because of new proposals of application, which not long ago were not even taken into consideration. These new applications stimulate the development of scienti?c research, as the broader application of system solutions based on computer networks results in a wide range of both theoretical and practical problems. This book proves that and the contents of its chapters concern a variety of topics and issues. Generally speaking, the contents can be divided into several subject groups. The ?rst group of contributions concerns new technologies applied in computer networks,particularlythoserelatedto nano,molecularandquantumtechnology.
