This groundbreaking treatment of post-communist developments in East Central Europe examines politics, economics, media, religious institutions, transitional justice, gender inequality, and literature, highlighting the overt functions, latent functions, and side effects associated with each sphere.Communism in East Central Europe had cracks from the beginning, as uprisings in East Germany in 1953 and Hungary in 1956 demonstrated. But with the establishment of the Independent Trade Union Solidarity in Poland in the Summer of 1980, communism went into steady decline and, between 1988 and 1991, crumbled. What followed has been an unsteady transition to various forms of often corrupt pluralism with democracy doing best in the Czech Republic (with the exception of the years 2017–2021) and Slovenia, and worst in Hungary, Albania, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Drawing on the functionalist theory of Robert K. Merton, the authors examine what policymakers – communist and post-communist – were or are trying to accomplish, the intended and unintended results of these policies, and the side-effects they have produced. This volume will be of interest not only to specialists in East Central Europe but also to graduate and undergraduate students, members of the diplomatic corps, and general readers.

At various stages in our lives, we must decide how badly we really want something. There is always a price to pay in order to attain that which we desire.Seasons change. Sometimes what was will not fit in our new season. In order to get what we want; it is sometimes necessary to let go of what was.We cannot hold on to what was while reaching for a new thing. In the book of James, it states that a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting; for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.8 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." (New King James Version, James 1:6-8)To move into a new season, there are some things we absolutely must do. Allow Evangelist Lavina Williams and me to share some things with you, from a Biblical perspective and a practical perspective, that you can begin to do immediately. Start to P. U. S. H. and walk into the new thing that God wants to do for you. There is always a price to pay for one's freedom. Are you now ready to pay the price? Wishing won't make it happen. Faith alone won't make it happen. It is time to do the work It is time to P. U. S. H. and give birth to whatever it is God has placed inside you.
Fractures of the tibial pilon (plafond) represent some of the most invalidating articular lesions. This volume describes the anatomic and radiological classification of these fractures and discusses contemporary treatments. For tibial pilon fractures in adults, the authors illustrate the distinction between closed lesions and lesions involving soft tissue exposure and trauma, and describe the different options. Tibial fractures in childhood are also discussed, especially regarding the possibility of subsequent deformity. The volume will help readers understand the rationale for the various therapeutic choices as well as the modalities of executing these techniques.
"A transporting novel told in the voice of a girl Virgil left in the margins. It is an absorbing, reverent, magnificent story." --Cleveland Plain DealerNational Book Award-winning literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin reimagines Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid through the eyes and voice of Lavinia, Aeneas' last wife.In The Aeneid, Vergil's hero fights to claim the king's daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a novel that takes us to the half-wild world of ancient Italy, when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills.Lavinia grows up knowing nothing but peace and freedom, until suitors come. Her mother wants her to marry handsome, ambitious Turnus. But omens and prophecies spoken by the sacred springs say she must marry a foreigner--that she will be the cause of a bitter war--and that her husband will not live long. When a fleet of Trojan ships sails up the Tiber, Lavinia decides to take her destiny into her own hands. And so she tells us what Vergil did not: the story of her life, and of the love of her life.
She chose love. The price she paid was war.A stunning combination of history and mythology - 'an intriguing, luxuriously realised novel' FINANCIAL TIMESREADERS on LAVINIA:'Utterly compelling' ?????'Clever twist' ?????'Super' ?????'Like Spartan Helen, I caused a war. She caused hers by letting men who wanted her take her. I caused mine because I wouldn't be given, wouldn't be taken, but chose my man and my fate'Lavinia is the daughter of the King of Latium, a victorious warrior who loves peace; she is her father's closest companion. Now of an age to wed, Lavinia's mother favours her own kinsman, handsome, heroic, everything a young girl should want. Instead, Lavinia dreams of mighty Aeneas, a man she has heard of only from a ghost of a poet, who comes to her in the gods' holy place and tells her of her future, and Aeneas' past... If she refuses to wed her mother's choice, Lavinia knows she will start a war...'Subtly moving, playful...a novel that brought me to tears more than once. Lavinia is a delightful heroine' GUARDIAN
