      Jak każda historyczna relacja, ta książka nie mówi o martwej przeszłości. Przeszłość nie umiera. Ponieważ katolikom nie udaje się docenić zmiany, jaka zaszła w latach sześćdziesiątych XX wieku, nadal nieświadomie powracają oni do myślowych wzorców z czasu przed tą rewolucją. Dzisiejszy Kościół twierdzi, że pojmuje sprawy Żydów w kategoriach ustalonych przez deklarację Nostra aetate, ale w oświadczeniach jego przywódców wciąż znajdują się odwołania do okresu sprzed Soboru Watykańskiego II. W swojej deklaracji Kościół zadowolił się myślą, że Bóg dokona pojednania ludzkości w jakiejś nieokreślonej przyszłości, bez konieczności zwrócenia się Żydów do Chrystusa, a mimo to Papież niedawno wezwał katolików do modlitwy za Żydów, aby Bóg i Pan nasz oświecił ich serca i pozwolił im poznać Jezusa Chrystusa, Zbawiciela wszystkich ludzi. Jeszcze później biskupi amerykańscy oświadczyli, że katolicy muszą oczekiwać nadejścia czasu, gdy cały lud Izraela zostanie włączony do Kościoła coś, czego biskupi uczestniczący w Soborze Watykańskim II usilnie starali się nie powiedzieć

      “2449 - Our depiction of this future has a very 1920’s vibe. Everything from the fashion, to the cars, to the architecture, even the technology, feel decidedly less “futuristic.” While technology still plays an integral role in our story and the world, we have purposely toned it down substantially, instead choosing to focus on refining a few key innovations.” - Morgan Rosenblum “The goal was to create a unique and unusual future, one that might actually feel more like an alternate reality or vivid dream.” - Matthew Medney The year is 2449 - Abel Kane, an accomplished writer, witnesses a murder. But when he discovers the victim was a machine in a “skin suit”, his life is turned upside down. Its mere existence is either an anomaly or part of a surreptitious takeover. Soon Abel finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. The more he investigates, the more he begins to fear he might be the only human left.

      Sometimes the only path forward is through the past. Two things you need to know: The earth is dying and time travel is real. We have exhausted, no, abused, the fossil fuels of this planet and now we're facing a self-inflicted extinction level event. Our only hope, my team of Time Inflectors must travel back in time in order to save all of our futures. Earth is on the verge of extinction. We have limited crude oil and our primary fuel sources are negligible. The carbon clouds signal the end of our species. We have but a few options: leave the planet… or fix it. We are the TFA, a special Canada-based agency that stumbled across a revolutionary discovery. The fifth Elemental force. Time. We built a freaking time machine based on the new physical sciences, believing we can go back to the “inflection points” of this extinction level event and fix things. The irony here is that the fuel we need to operate the invention, is the very fuel that led us to this juncture. Even with the precautions in place we only have enough for a limited number of time jumps, 5 to be exact. To make things even more difficult, time travel has a few additional “restrictions” as the discovery of time as a fundamental force provides a Quantum and Physical science sandbox. This means that the tachyons that interact with matter do so similarly to protons and neutrons; they cannot engage in something that would create a paradox. In layman's terms, they prohibit certain interactions between those from the future and those in the present. I’m Doctor Malik Fikai, one of the three Inflectors tasked with going back and fixing this mess before it happens, otherwise our future is history

      "This book is a history of East Central Europe since the late eighteenth century, the region of Europe between German central Europe and Russia in the East. Connelly argues the region, for which it is frequently hard to define exact boundaries and which is sometimes treated country-by-country in a way seemingly separate from the broader trends of European history, was one of shared experience despite most of the peoples being divided by linguistic, geographic, and political barriers. Beginning in the 1780s, an unwitting Habsburg monarch -- Joseph II -- decreed that his subjects would use only German, as he hoped to mold a common nationality using German over the disparate subjects. Instead, he unleashed the energies and struggle for the emergence of new nations that pitted small peoples armed with an idea against empires. The author argues that the underlying national self-assertion which emerged under imperial rule in the eighteen and nineteenth centuries shows deep connections to subsequent histories, to the creation of nation states of the regions after World War I, the failure of democratic rule in these states during the interwar years, the submersion of the region under Nazi then Soviet rule after 1939, and to the reinvention of sovereign states (and then the break up of two of them) after 1989. The book interconnects major themes and country histories for first time, chronicling this diverse region over many generations, from the time of Joseph, through democratic and socialist revolutions, genocide and Stalinism, through civil society movements struggling for liberal democracy, into our own day, when illiberal politicians come to power by exploiting very old fears"-- Provided by publisher
