Every action we take, every used phone we throw away, every can of soda we put in the wrong place will affect the planet and, subsequently, the lives of future generations. When we have so much power to ruin the world, we should not be allowed to not know how we could also save it. The present book, although it cannot put together all the available information, tries to gather the minimum of it, so that it can make us understand how much harmwe, as human beings, have brought to our planet, why we should stop doing it and what we should do in order to make things better. The book is a collection of articles that have one thing in common: the protection of the environment, which they approach from different perspectives.

In the First Czechoslovak Republic, Slovakia remained its backward agrarian part because of its less developed economic structure. The Slovak agriculture suffered from unequal distribution of land, which caused the “hunger for land” among the poorest farmers – a majority of the Slovak population. The land reform, expected to solve this problem, was carried out according to laws issued by the Parliament, usually in agreement with the Agrarian Party’s policy. The study briefly outlines the development and results of the reform. It also shows the relations and political attitudes of Hlinka's Slovak People's Party and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to the land reform and its accomplishment in Slovakia. The focus is on the 1920s.

Pri vzniku slovenského agrárneho politického hnutia sa rozhodovalo nielen o konštituovaní agrárnej strany na Slovensku a jej ďalšom politickom osude, ale vzhľadom na jej význam na slovenskej i československej politickej scéne aj o smerovaní celého politického vývoja v medzivojnovom období a jeho neblahom vyústení v roku 1938.

The Republic of Croatia is planning to build a canal to 2016 to connect the Danube (near Vukovar) and the Sava (near the village Sikirevci, near Slavonski Šamac). The canal will be 61.4 kilometers long. The idea of building a canal was 278 years old. The oldest documentation of the construction of the Danube–Sava originates from 1737. The multipurpose canal Danube–Sava should have three functions: to irrigate 35750 hectares of agricultural land, to carry out the surface drainage of around 173000 hectares and underground drainage of around 62 000 hectares, to serve for boating and tourism. The canal should shorten the path to Western Europe for 417 km (sailing time would be shorter for 48 hours), and a road to the east would be shortened by 85 km. It is assumed that the construction of the canal will contribute to the development of the river transport in the Republic of Croatia. There are many factors that are now threatening the Sava River as a natural resource: the work of industrial plants and oil industry, hydropower (in Slovenia), the discharge of wastewater, mining of river sediments, intensive farming and construction, the construction of the Sava–Danube canal and the restoration of the nautical road along the Sava. The World Conservation Union has launched a three-year project biodiversity Protection of the navigable area of the sava river basin. In December 2002, four countries signed an international framework agreement for the establishment of an international regime of navigation and sustainable water management of the river basin, and the measures to be taken against floods, ice hazards, droughts and pollution. The main challenge for the management of the Sava River is to enable economic development to sustainable use and protection of the natural resources in the basin. This project is expected to help to identify, define and manage the environmental and landscape diversity along the Sava River, in line with the EU directives on birds and habitats with the implementation and integration of the environmental values. It is assumed that the trenching of the canal will change the groundwater regime on the territory of Croatia. Possible change in the groundwater regime in Serbia could have disastrous consequences. On the territory of the Republic of Serbia, according to the Institute for Nature Conservation, there are nine natural areas, and four of them are along the river Sava: the Special Nature Reserves Zasavica, Obedska Bara, Morovićko-Bosutske forests and the landscape of outstanding features Veliko Ratno Ostrvo (Great War Island).

Sustainable gastronomy, in other words, eco gastronomy, can provide help for current and potential problems due to the philosophy it supports to carry gastronomic activities by protecting human health, transferring food cultures to future generations, maintaining environment and being compatible with nature. Scientific research reveals that 3 children die of hunger every minute in the world and one of every 3 plates we eat is thrown away. It is also stated that the most wasted food item from the plate is bread. At this point, it is extremely important to be aware of the fact that goods and services are means of meeting needs, and to have individuals who can use resources correctly and choose the goods and services that are suitable for themselves or their needs. In this study, sustainable gastronomy trends in Turkey and in the world are included, the issue of waste and bread waste is examined with a broad perspective and presented to the reader in an understandable language. In addition, practical information is given to prevent breads from getting stale in homes and businesses, and sample recipes are presented as a solution for stale breads. While applying the recipes, different types of breads were used to provide a unity in terms of taste, texture and visual presentation, and recipes were created that tasters could not easily understand that there was bread in it. In all of the recipes in the book, care has been taken to ensure that recipes with bread can be made without requiring any effort other than making the same recipe without using bread. The information and descriptions in this research; It has a high importance in terms of appealing to business owners, sector employees, teachers/students in institutions providing education on food and beverage, everyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen and raising awareness about sustainable food.

Ta publikacja może pełnić funkcję ważnego podręcznika czy przewodnika pokazującego sposoby rozwijania nowych wyobrażeń o ekonomii. Autorzy proponują całościowy, alternatywny język mówienia o gospodarce i kryzysach, co jest konieczne do tego, aby odejść od zgubnej oczywistości oddzielnego zajmowania się ekonomią, społeczeństwem i technologią. Książka jest świadectwem prawdziwej interdyscyplinarności, pokazującej, że nie można redukować ekonomii do zaspokajania potrzeb w porządku czysto materialnym, ponieważ wszystkie pojęcia ekonomiczne angażują i mobilizują cały system. Zaprezentowane w książce stanowiska będą wzbudzać dyskusje. Cieszę się, że mogłam być jedną z pierwszych czytelniczek pierwszej takiej pracy napisanej w języku polskim. z recenzji prof. Małgorzaty Jacyno (Uniwersytet Warszawski) To jedna z ciekawszych i ambitniejszych prób holistycznego spojrzenia na procesy gospodarcze, z uwzględnieniem działania praw termodynamiki, samoorganizacji systemów żywych i zmian klimatu wskutek działalności człowieka. Stanowi interesującą próbę połączenia pozornie odległych dziedzin i dyscyplin naukowych, jakimi są fizyka (w tym energetyka), nauki społeczne (w tym ekonomia i nauki o polityce) i nauki przyrodnicze. Hausner i Krzykawski, jako redaktorzy i współautorzy tej publikacji, pokazują nowe kierunki badań w ekonomii oraz zdecydowaną przewagę badań interdyscyplinarnych nad wąskospecjalistycznymi.Odbiorcami tej książki powinni być wszyscy ci, którym bliska jest problematyka transformacji energetycznej, a także budowa regeneracyjnych systemów gospodarczych, społecznych i przyrodniczych, w tym złożonych systemów terytorialnych. z recenzji prof. Tadeusza Markowskiego (Uniwersytet Łódzki) Autorki i autorzy: Edwin Bendyk, Alicja Boryń, Ivar Ekeland, Zenon Foltynowicz, Maciej Grodzicki, Jerzy Hausner, Aleksander Jakimowicz, Andrzej Kassenberg, Michał Krzykawski, Joanna Kulczycka, Mikołaj Lewicki, Michał Możdżeń, Jan Oleszczuk-Zygmuntowski, Wojciech Paprocki, Jan Popczyk, Bożena Ryszawska, Wojciech Stanek, Magdalena Wojnarowska,
