Wu Sangui (Usanqueius) – dowódca i buntownik na kartach Historiae Sinarum Imperii Tomasza Szpota Dunina
Full text linkIn his work on Chinese history, Tomasz Ignatius Szpot Dunin SJ did not miss the attitudes of significant Chinese commanders during the historical watershed period of the fall of the Ming dynasty and its replacement by the Manchurian Qing dynasty. One of them was Wu Sangui, who initially supported the Ming against external and internal enemies, only to contribute to the success of the Manchurian invasion at a crucial moment and, after almost three decades of operating under the new dynasty’s sovereignty, to declare obedience to it and lead the so-called Three Feudatories Rebellion. The affair was well-known in Europe and even became the subject of literary interest in the 18th century. Szpot Dunin does not succumb to extreme tendencies in his description, skilfully considers the circumstances of the decision and presents a nuanced yet incisive picture of Wu Sangui’s character, intentions and failures.Tomasz Ignacy Szpot Dunin SJ w swoim dziele poświęconym historii Chin nie ominął postaw znaczących chińskich dowódców w okresie przełomu historycznego, jakim był upadek dynastii Ming i jej zastąpienie przez mandżurską dynastię Qing. Jednym z nich był Wu Sangui, który początkowo wspierał Mingów w walce z zewnętrznymi i wewnętrznymi wrogami, by w kluczowym momencie przyczynić się do powodzenia najazdu mandżurskiego, a po niemal trzech dekadach działania pod zwierzchnością nowej dynastii wypowiedzieć jej posłuszeństwo i stanąć na czele tzw. Rebelii Trzech Lenników. Sprawa ta była znana w Europie i stała się nawet przedmiotem zainteresowania literackiego w XVIII w. Szpot Dunin nie poddaje się w swoim opisie skrajnym tendencjom, umiejętnie rozważa okoliczności decyzji i przedstawia zniuansowany, ale jednocześnie wyrazisty obraz postaci Wu Sangui, jego zamiarów i niepowodzeń

Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency: A Tale of Two Terms
Full text linkIn 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

Energy recovery strategies in water distribution networks: literature review and future directions in the net-zero transition
No full textPublished online: 31 May 2023Water distribution networks (WDNs) are significant users of energy and contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Energy recovery strategies (ERSs) have potential for switching WDNs to a renewable energy source, thereby assisting with the transition to net-zero emissions and reducing the dependency of water utilities on power-grids. To address the current lack of understanding of the potential for ERSs to achieve these goals, this work presents a holistic review, which considers all available devices, i.e. turbines, pumps as turbines, and other alternative strategies, such as the GreenValves, as well as all the kinds of application in the literature. Besides describing the latest most significant achievements in the context of ERSs, the review also identifies the most common issues and proposes several future research directions, including the need for a better test and comparison of the various available solutions in field applications, and more thorough analyses of the socio/political problems hampering their diffusion.C.
