Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency: A Tale of Two Terms
No full textIn one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese, Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies. The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy

Idealism, Disillusion and Perseverance: The Life, Times and Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald
No full textM.A.L.S.IDEALISM, DISILLUSION AND PERSEVERANCE:THE LIFE, TIMES AND STORIES OF F. SCOTT FITZGERALDAndrew W. Kentz, J.D.MALS Mentor: Michael J. Collins, Ph.D.ABSTRACTStatement of the ProblemF. Scott Fitzgerald is considered to have been a great chronicler of his American generation. Fitzgerald's lifetime spanned dramatic changes in American attitudes and fortunes. Born at the close of the Gilded Age, he grew up in the Progressive Era and reached adulthood during the first world war. His greatest success came during the 1920s economic boom. He spent his final decade struggling to survive professional and personal collapse amidst the Great Depression.While best known for his novels, Fitzgerald was a prolific author of short stories. Fitzgerald wrote short stories nearly continuously throughout his life. If Fitzgerald is representative of his generation, his short stories ought to reflect the evolving attitudes of the author and his generation of Americans as they travelled through periods of great change. The purpose of this paper is to examine Fitzgerald's short stories, his life and his times to determine the extent to which this is true.Procedure FollowedThe paper is divided into three chronological periods: Fitzgerald's youth through the war, the 1920s Jazz Age and the 1930s Depression. For each period the historical setting, Fitzgerald's personal experiences and the attitudes reflected in his stories are compared and considered. Sources for the paper include: nearly all of Fitzgerald's short stories with a particular focus on the stories he wrote as a youth and his lesser known professional stories; his autobiographical essays; biographies of Fitzgerald and others close to him; critical analyses of his work; and historical accounts of America in the early twentieth century.ConclusionsFitzgerald's attitudes mirrored the changes in America during this period. The stories he wrote in his youth reveal his sense of hope and aspiration. In the Twenties Fitzgerald enjoyed enormous success. While America experienced an extraordinary, if fragile, boom, Fitzgerald infused his stories with a sense of deep disillusion. The great chronicler of his age was revealing the hollow nature of the American promise. The author's personal and professional decline presaged the country's descent into the Great Depression. His later stories focus on perseverance and on the unglamorous yet satisfying nature of work and fulfillment of responsibility.

Ekstremalne dobowe sumy opadów w Północno-Zachodniej Polsce
No full textThe paper presents an analysis of the extreme precipitation recorded in north-western Poland between
1951 and 1995. The author of the present paper selected a day with a maximal twenty-fourhour
precipitation sum out of each month. The author also selected intervals characterized by specific
twenty-four-hour values: 0.1-9.9 mm, 10.0-19.9 mm, 20.0-29.9 mm, 30.0-49.9 mm, 50.0-99.9
mm and ≥100 mm. The author selected frequencies of their occurrence and a monthly average and
annual maximums’ sum of precipitation. A concept of an extreme precipitation relates to twentyfour-
hour sums 50.0-99.9 mm and ≥100 mm. Moreover the author selected the days with extreme
twenty-four-hour sums ≥100 mm and specified the atmospheric circulation types, distinguished by
B. Osuchowska-Klein (1975).W pracy przybliżono problematykę ekstremalnych opadów w północno-zachodniej Polsce.
Badanie ekstremalnych wartości elementów meteorologicznych to jedno z najważniejszych
zagadnień klimatologii. Występowanie tych elementów może spowodować straty ekonomiczne,
społeczne czy środowiskowe. W analizie uwzględniono dobowe sumy opadów
z 14 stacji, obejmujące lata 1951-1995. Dla obszaru północno-zachodniej Polski za opad
ekstremalny przyjęto sumy dobowe 50,0-99,9 mm i ³100 mm, następnie przeprowadzono
analizę wybranych dni, w których wystąpiły ekstremalne dobowe sumy opadów ≥100 mm
i określono typy cyrkulacji atmosferycznej, wyróżnione przez B. Osuchowską-Klein (1975).
Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że na obszarze północno-zachodniej Polski występują
opady ekstremalne, które przekraczają granice bezpieczeństwa, powodując zagrożenia
społeczno-gospodarcze i środowiskowe. Sumy dobowe 50,0-99,9 mm pojawiały się od maja
do października oraz w lutym, natomiast sumy ≥100 mm występowały tylko w letnich miesiącach. W badanym wieloleciu 1951-1995, przy uwzględnieniu 14 stacji z obszaru północno-
zachodniej Polski ekstremalne opady 50,0-99,9 mm wystąpiły 102 razy (6%), natomiast
opady ≥100 mm – 3 razy: w Łebie (24.07.1988 r.), Koszalinie (18.08.1991 r.) i Toruniu
(15.06.1980 r.). Jednakże, przy uwzględnieniu większej liczby stacji (185 stacji dla okresu
1961-1980) sumy ≥100 mm wystąpiły w 14 innych stacjach. Dla tych dni wykonano mapy
i określono typ cyrkulacji atmosferycznej. Otrzymano, że ekstremalne opady występowały
przy typach cyrkulacji cyklonalnej – Eo (północno-wschodnia i wschodnia), F (południowo-
-wschodnia) i CB (północno-zachodnia) oraz antycyklonalnej – E1 (południowo-wschodnia
i wschodnia) i C2D (zachodnia). W wybranych 8 dniach opady ekstremalne wystąpiły: w czerwcu
(2 razy) – przy typach F i E1; w lipcu (3 razy) – przy typach Eo (2 razy) i C2D i w sierpniu
(3 razy) – przy typach Eo, F i CB. W 6 dniach przyczyną opadów ekstremalnych były typy
cyklonalne.
W ciepłym okresie roku, przy typach cyrkulacji ze składową północną na obszar północno-
zachodniej Polski napływa chłodne powietrze, natomiast przy typach południowo-wschodnich
i wschodnich napływa bardzo ciepłe powietrze, często o dużej wilgotności względnej.
W obu przypadkach adwekcja powietrza może prowadzić do rozwoju konwekcji i w rezultacie
powstają opady o ekstremalnej sumie
