The Adjoint of a Semigroup of Linear Operators

By: Jan van Neerven

This monograph provides a systematic treatment of the abstract theory of adjoint semigroups. After presenting the basic elementary results, the following topics are treated in detail: The sigma (X, X )-topology, -reflexivity, the Favard class, Hille-Yosida operators, interpolation and extrapolation, weak -continuous semigroups, the codimension of X in X , adjoint semigroups and the Radon-Nikodym property, tensor products of semigroups and duality, positive semigroups and multiplication semigroups. The major part of the material is reasonably self-contained and is accessible to anyone with basic knowledge of semi- group theory and Banach space theory. Most of the results are proved in detail. The book is addressed primarily to researchers working in semigroup theory, but in view of the "Banach space theory" flavour of many of the results, it will also be of interest to Banach space geometers and operator theorists.

Climate Change, Human Impact and Green Energy Transformation

By: Jan Kiciński,Patryk Chaja

This book indicates the most optimal solutions for the growing civilization problem related to climate change that takes place more and more rapidly on our planet. It is divided into two parts: In the first part, the authors - based on the available analyses and reports on climate change taking place on Earth - present their own point of view in relation to the above issue, while trying to find answers to the following questions: · Why is it so difficult to admit that humans are responsible for the ongoing climate change? · Will climate change destroy life on Earth? · Can science and modern technologies stop this process? In the second part of the book, the authors propose a solution for the advancing climate change, regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions coming mainly from the energy sector. On the basis of scientific achievements and implementations of research institutions in Poland, especially the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdansk, the book proposes directions of development of the energy transformation in Poland and other countries for which fossil fuels currently make a large contribution to the energy production process and are the main emitter of CO2 to the atmosphere. The book is addressed to citizens, ecologists, climatologists as well as politicians and experts responsible for shaping the climate and energy policy of the country level and also the world.

The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity

Volume 1: The Middle Ages

By: Jan M. Ziolkowski

This ambitious and vivid study in six volumes explores the journey of a single, electrifying story, from its first incarnation in a medieval French poem through its prolific rebirth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Juggler of Notre Dame tells how an entertainer abandons the world to join a monastery, but is suspected of blasphemy after dancing his devotion before a statue of the Madonna in the crypt; he is saved when the statue, delighted by his skill, miraculously comes to life. Jan Ziolkowski tracks the poem from its medieval roots to its rediscovery in late nineteenth-century Paris, before its translation into English in Britain and the United States. The visual influence of the tale on Gothic revivalism and vice versa in America is carefully documented with lavish and inventive illustrations, and Ziolkowski concludes with an examination of the explosion of interest in The Juggler of Notre Dame in the twentieth century and its place in mass culture today. The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity is a rich case study for the reception of the Middle Ages in modernity. Spanning centuries and continents, the medieval period is understood through the lens of its (post)modern reception in Europe and America. Profound connections between the verbal and the visual are illustrated by a rich trove of images, including book illustrations, stained glass, postage stamps, architecture, and Christmas cards. Presented with great clarity and simplicity, Ziolkowski's work is accessible to the general reader, while its many new discoveries will be valuable to academics in such fields and disciplines as medieval studies, medievalism, philology, literary history, art history, folklore, performance studies, and reception studies.

Analysis in Banach Spaces

Volume III: Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory

By: Tuomas Hytönen,Jan van Neerven,Mark Veraar,Lutz Weis

This third volume of Analysis in Banach Spaces offers a systematic treatment of Banach space-valued singular integrals, Fourier transforms, and function spaces. It further develops and ramifies the theory of functional calculus from Volume II and describes applications of these new notions and tools to the problem of maximal regularity of evolution equations. The exposition provides a unified treatment of a large body of results, much of which has previously only been available in the form of research papers. Some of the more classical topics are presented in a novel way using modern techniques amenable to a vector-valued treatment. Thanks to its accessible style with complete and detailed proofs, this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers interested in functional analysis, harmonic analysis, and the operator-theoretic approach to deterministic and stochastic evolution equations.

The Metric Theory of Tensor Products

Grothendieck's Résumé Revisited

By: Joseph Diestel,Alexandre Grothendieck,Jan H. Fourie,Johan Swart

Famed mathematician Alexander Grothendieck, in his Resume, set forth his plan for the study of the finer structure of Banach spaces. He used tensor products as a foundation upon which he built the classes of operators most important to the study of Banach spaces and established the importance of the "local" theory in the study of these operators and the spaces they act upon. When Lintenstrauss and Pelczynski addressed his work at the rebirth of Banach space theory, they shed his Fundamental Inequality in the trappings of operator ideals by shedding the tensorial formulation. The authors of this book, however, feel that there is much of value in Grothendieck's original formulations in the Resume and here endeavor to "expose the Resume" by presenting most of Grothendieck's arguments using the mathematical tools that were available to him at the time.

Reading the Juggler of Notre Dame

Medieval Miracles and Modern Remakings

By: Jan M. Ziolkowski

In this two-part anthology, Jan M. Ziolkowski builds on themes uncovered in his earlier The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity. Here he focuses particularly on the performing arts. Part one contextualises Our Lady’s Tumbler, a French poem of the late 1230s, by comparing it with episodes in the Bible and miracles in a wide variety of medieval European sources. It relates this material to analogues and folklore across the ages from, among others, Persian, Jewish and Hungarian cultures. Part two scrutinizes the reception and impact of the poem with reference to modern European and American literature, including works by the Nobel prize-winner Anatole France, professor-poet Katharine Lee Bates, philosopher-historian Henry Adams and poet W.H. Auden. This innovative collection of sources introduces readers to many previously untranslated texts, and invites them to explore the journey of Our Lady’s Tumbler across both sides of the Atlantic. Reading the Juggler of Notre Dame: Medieval Miracles and Modern Remakings will benefit scholars and students alike. The short introductions and numerous annotations shed light on unusual beliefs and practices of the past, making the readings accessible to anyone with an interest in the arts and an openness to the Middle Ages.

Small and Medium Enterprises, Law and Business

Uncertainty and Justice

By: Jan Winczorek,Karol Muszynski

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties, for example, by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims, they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies, including acting informally, modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law, abstain from using the law, and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues, access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland, it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution, access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing, neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal, structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process, which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies.

Rescue of Business in Europe

Rescue of Business in Europe

By: Gert-Jan Boon

This edited volume is based on the European Law Institute's (ELI) project 'Rescue of Business in Insolvency Law'. The project ran from 2013 to 2017 under the auspices of the ELI and was conducted by Bob Wessels and Stephan Madaus, who were assisted by Gert-Jan Boon. The study sought to design (elements of) a legal framework that will enable the further development of coherent and functional rules for business rescue in Europe. This includes certain statutory procedures that could better enable parties to negotiate solutions where a business becomes financially distressed. Such a framework also includes rules to determine in which procedures and under which conditions an enforceable solution can be imposed upon creditors and other stakeholders despite their lack of consent. The project had a broad scope, and extended to consider frameworks that can be used by (non-financial) businesses out of court, and in a pre-insolvency context. Part I of this book, the ELI Instrument as approved by the ELI Council and General Assembly, features 115 recommendations on a wide variety of themes affected by the rescue of financially distressed businesses, such as the legal rules for professions and courts, treatment and ranking of creditors' claims, contract, corporate and labour law as well as laws relating to transaction avoidance. Part II consists of national reports that sketch the legal landscape in 13 States and of an 'Inventory Report on International Recommendations from Standard-Setting Organisations', both of which provided insight for the drafting of the Instrument. This volume is designed to assist those involved in a process of law reform and those setting standards for soft law in the business rescue context.

Indygo

By: Michał Jan Chmielewski

W Baskin Zachodnim dzieci znikają bez śladu niemal od zawsze. Uciekają z domu czy są uprowadzane? Żyją czy umarły? Nikt nie wie, jaki spotykał je los. Nikt prócz Kusaka. Sadystycznego seryjnego mordercy, który je porywa i w bestialski sposób morduje. Równie wiele przyjemności jak torturowanie ofiar sprawia mu gra jaką prowadzi z lokalną społecznością i policją. Psychopata na co dzień przybiera różne maski: wzorowego obywatela, sympatycznego sąsiada, wolontariusza zaangażowanego w pomoc rodzinom ofiar. Karmi swoje ego ich cierpieniem, bezradnością i łatwowiernością. Czuje się bezkarny. Los stawia jednak na jego drodze nietypowych przeciwników. Dwoje nastolatków połączonych tragedią i wspólnymi tajemnicami odkrywa, jaki los spotyka zaginione dzieci. Nieprzygotowani wkraczają w świat dorosłych. Odnajdują prawdę, przyjaźni i miłość. Płacą za to wysoką cenę. Być może zbyt wysoką? Michał Chmielewski zabiera nas ponownie do Baskin Zachodniego. „Indygo” to zupełnie inna opowieść niż „Złe”, ale równie prawdziwa, mocna i warta przeczytania! ----------- Surowy styl Chmielewskiego brawurowo wciąga w mroczną historię. Nie ma tu zbędnych słów, zbędnych scen. Jest zło. Prawdziwe, upiorne, zatrważająco bliskie. Kiedy sięgniesz po „Indygo”, nic już nie będzie takie jak przedtem. Agnieszka Sudomir, autorka serii Miasto Obiecane ----------- Sięgając po Indygo nie sądziłam, że zawładnie ono moją głową. Inny niż wszystkie, mroczny i tajemniczy. Jedynie dla ludzi o mocnych nerwach, bo wnętrze naprawdę zaskakuje. Sięgnij, by się o tym przekonać! Małgorzata Falkowska, autorka Ilias, Nagranie ----------- „Indygo” przeraża i niebezpiecznie wciąga! To nietuzinkowy thriller, który nie daje jasnych odpowiedzi i prowokuje do zastanowienia się nad istotą zła. Sylwia Trojanowska, autorka Sekrety i kłamstwa, Prawdy i tajemnice ----------- Michał Jan Chmielewski po raz kolejny udowodnił, że doskonale czuje się w tworzeniu historii, których akcja toczy się w niewielkich społecznościach. Po przeczytaniu tej książki, już nigdy więcej nie pozwolisz swojemu dziecku samemu wracać do domu. Polecam! Michał Wasek - www.oczytany.eu ----------- „Indygo” to thriller napisany według najlepszych reguł gatunku. Powieść Michała Jana Chmielewskiego nie tylko trzyma w napięciu do ostatniej strony, ale też wzrusza swoją prawdziwie nostalgiczną warstwą — opowieścią o rodzącym się uczuciu dwojga młodych bohaterów — Rudej i Emila — których losy krzyżują się z iście przerażającym antagonistą — seryjnym mordercą nazywającym się Kusakiem. Swą trzecią powieścią Michał Jan Chmielewski udowadnia, że jest wyjątkowo mocnym pretendentem do miana „polskiego króla powieści grozy”, stąd też fani Jacka Ketchuma czy Stephena Kinga sięgający po „Indygo” z pewnością się nie zawiodą!
