Five Centuries of Civil Procedure: The Polish Experience in a European Context (16th to 21st Centuries) /
:
The first codification of Polish court proceedings was made in 1523. Half a millennium later, the jurists in this volume have carefully analyzed the transformation of Polish civil procedure from then to the present day against the historical background of the development of modern European legal orders and institutions. This study is the result of the work of a research group established at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, consisting of historical and modern jurists and scholars of civil procedure and private law. Contributors are: Grzegorz J. Blicharz, Andrzej Dziadzio, Radosław Flejszar, Krzysztof Fokt, Kacper Górski, Jan Halberda, Vincent R. Johnson, Izabela Lewandowska-Malec, Martin Löhing, Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier, Dorota Malec, Maciej Mikuła, Andrzej Olaś, Grzegorz Smyk, Kamila Staudigl-Ciechowicz, and Abdoul Yatera.

The quality of heroic living, of high endeavour and adventure : Anglican mission, women, and education in Palestine, 1888-1948 /
:
This work focuses on Anglican mission and women's education in Palestine in the period from 1888 till 1948. As part of the \'enlightenment movement\' the project was initiated by British women educational pioneers, who influenced women to carry out the creed of academic training for girls also in colonial areas. While the educational profile of the pre-World War One schools mainly focused on modernisation of the domestic role, during the British Mandate the highly educated Anglican women teachers had two aims for their work: To create a peaceful multi-cultural environment in a society characterised by religious and ethnic strife and secondly to introduce a modern feminine ideal to Christian, Muslim and Jewish middle-and upper class girls. This study contributes to our knowledge of the Anglican missionary project, the role of women misionaries/educators and the history of Palestine.
