Marek Dietl, "Understanding the Polish Capital Market "
English | ISBN: 1032286962 | 2022 | 370 pages | PDF | 9 MB
The first stock exchange in Warsaw - capital city of the Kingdom of Poland- was established in 1817. Over the past 205 years, the fortunes of the capital market have been closely linked to the "bumpy road" of Polish history. The establishment of the GPW Warsaw Stock Exchange in 1991 was a landmark for transformation from a centrally planned communist economy to a market-driven capitalist one. Since the doors of the exchange reopened, Polish GDP per capita (current USD) increased eight times, translating into an average yearly growth rate of over 7%.

Understanding jаvascript Promises
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1678034150 | 116 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 1.25 MB
Since promises were added to jаvascript in 2015, they have become an integral part of the language. A good understanding of how promises work is more important than ever in becoming a proficient jаvascript developer. This book begins by explaining the basic concepts behind promises, including what they are, how to use them, and how to create your own. You'll then build upon these basic concepts to learn how to chain promises together and how to respond to multiple promises at once. Once you've learned these advanced concepts, you'll move on to learn how promises work with async functions and how to track unhandled promise rejections. All of the concepts discussed are grounded in real world examples so you learn not just how to use a particular technique, but also why and when to use it. It doesn't matter if you're writing jаvascript for web browsers, Node.js, or Deno, this book will teach you everything you need to know about promises.
Unbecoming Blackness: The Diaspora Cultures of Afro-Cuban America By Antonio Lopez
2012 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0814765467 | EPUB | 3 MB
2014 Runner-Up, MLA Prize in United States Latina and Latino and Chicana and Chicano Literary and Cultural StudiesIn Unbecoming Blackness, Antonio López uncovers an important, otherwise unrecognized century-long archive of literature and performance that reveals Cuban America as a space of overlapping Cuban and African diasporic experiences. López shows how Afro-Cuban writers and performers in the U.S. align Cuban black and mulatto identities, often subsumed in the mixed-race and postracial Cuban national imaginaries, with the material and symbolic blackness of African Americans and other Afro-Latinas/os. In the works of Alberto O'Farrill, Eusebia Cosme, Rómulo Lachatañeré, and others, Afro-Cubanness articulates the African diasporic experience in ways that deprive negro and mulato configurations of an exclusive link with Cuban nationalism. Instead, what is invoked is an "unbecoming" relationship between Afro-Cubans in the U.S and their domestic black counterparts. The transformations in Cuban racial identity across the hemisphere, represented powerfully in the literary and performance cultures of Afro-Cubans in the U.S., provide the fullest account of a transnational Cuba, one in which the Cuban American emerges as Afro-Cuban-American, and the Latino as Afro-Latino.

Tyrol or Not Tyrol: Theatre as History in Südtirol/Alto Adige By Nóra de Buiteléir
2012 | 221 Pages | ISBN: 3034307314 | PDF | 2 MB
On 19 June 1992 Austria and Italy declared the official resolution of the South Tyrol question - the dispute that had dominated relations between the two countries since the end of the First World War. While this bilingual province is today held up as a triumph of minority rights protection and a model for post-conflict societies across the world, the story of the South Tyrol since its amalgamation into the Italian state in 1919 has been a complex and often turbulent one. This book investigates the political role of the theatre in reflecting, shaping and subverting patterns of cultural identity among the German-speaking South Tyrolese. Taking as its starting point the representation of history in a series of ambitious theatrical productions from the 1970s to the present, this study offers close readings of texts and performances and an examination of the belated development of professional theatre in the province. The role of theatre is analysed in terms of the broader historical and sociocultural factors at play in the shaping of South Tyrolese identity.
