<p>Odpowiedzi na pytanie o sens i rolę granic politycznych szukają różne dziedziny nauki: historia, geografia, prawo, politologia. Każda z dziedzin bada ich różne cechy. Czy są one największym absurdem antropogenu, czy doskonałym sposobem organizacji życia społeczeństw?<br />Książka „Blizny historii…” stanowi barwny opis geograficznych aspektów przebiegu i funkcji granic państw. Dokonano ich oceny jako barier przestrzennych, ich przenikalności i przepuszczalności oraz geograficznych uwarunkowań kształtowania się więzi transgranicznych. Przestrzenne zróżnicowanie granic politycznych omówiono w ramach sześciu jednostek terytorialnych (kontynentów) uzupełnionych o granice morskie.<br />Intencją Autora było przygotowanie książki spełniającej kryteria podręcznika akademickiego a zarazem przydatnej dla wszystkich zainteresowanych problemami współczesnego świata.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>„Wakacje spędzałem na polskim Spiszu, cudownym skrawku ziemi między Tatrami, Gorcami i Pieninami. Tu właśnie, na rubieżach Polski kształtowały się moje zainteresowania i pasje. Wstyd powiedzieć, że w wyniku nieposłuszeństwa. Gdy jako dwunastolatka rodzice zostawili mnie pod opieką gospodarzy, dostałem dwa zakazy: nie zbliżać się do granicy ani do wnyków na wilki. Trudno o lepszą zachętę. Podsłuchałem, że sidła zastawione są nad potokiem. Specjalnie przygotowanym drągiem niszczyłem te zasadzki, pozostawiając karteczkę (znowu wstyd) z napisem: „Pocałujcie mnie w d… . Wilk”. Resztę czasu spędzałem na wędrówkach wzdłuż granicy państwa.</em></p> <p><em>Minęło niemal pół wieku i nic się nie zmieniło.

<p> „"California Joe, the Mysterious Plainsman"” is a book first published in 1900 written by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham who was a Colonel in the Confederate Army, a professional military officer throughout the 1860s, and a prolific author of books on the American West. It is a dime novel, a very short novel, about the life of a young man who acts as if he is immortal. At first, many characters in the book think that Joe is a ghost or a „"spook"” because of his all black clothes and solid white horse. Soon, however, Joe introduces himself to a group of people who are laying train tracks across the prairie. He guides them and saves them from Indians on many occasions. Throughout the entire book, Joe is saving somebody from Indians or capturing thieves. He is the stereotypical cowboy who saves the day and rides off into the sunset. This book is a wonderful light novel and is also important for what it reveal about American cultural history at the time of its publication.</p>

<p> Red Anthony had the lazy look of a tenderfoot and the lighting draw of a devil. Raised in a circus, he grew up knife throwing and horse stunt riding. He follows a Frances Jones, who has stolen his heart, out to Dodge City. On his first day searching for her he makes enemies with some criminals. They’re soon ganging up to find him and "shoot him dead". By the time Red rode out of Dodge City, he was one of the fastest gunmen around. And on his trail was a band of the toughest, most vicious outlaws ever collected in the West. Will The Tenderfoot escape the clutches of the evil criminals? Will he ever find Frances Jones? Highly recommended, especially for those who love the Old Western genre.</p>
