ACADEMIA. The magazine of the Polish Academy of Sciences

Opis

The „Academia” magazine was founded on the initiative of Professor Andrzej B. Legocki, a President of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2003 – 2006. In the beginning it was published only in English as a reply to the growing demand for a current information on the Polish Academy of Sciences` activities, expressed by foreign scientists and Poles living abroad and interested in Polish science.

Since 2005 the magazine is published both in Polish and English.

The „Academia” is an exceptional - on the Polish market - scientific magazine for the general public, propagating achievements of Polish scientists here and abroad. Authors of articles in „Academia” explain their subject in a way that is accessible not only for all sorts of academics but also for students, pupils and all other readers interested in scientific topics for the general public.

The hustle-and-bustle of our everyday lives generally prevents us from noticing the fierce, life-and-death battles quietly paying out around us, as incoming "invaders" ruthlessly conquer native species of plants and animals. Can we cope with this problem?

Can disastrous floods be avoided? The answer to that question of course has to be "no": we are simply unable to fully protect against these natural phenomena. Nonetheless, research on the course and consequences of floods is helping us to mitigate their negative social, economic, and ecological impact, and above all to avoid human fatalities.

State patronage for artists and forging bonds between art and society, concepts promoted in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s, also won supporters among Polish artists, who saw them as a remedy for the "crisis of art".

Polish koniks, a semi-wild breed of horse, are a kind of natural relic and a precious part of Poland's and Europe's heritage. Their unique biological and breeding characteristics have led them to be recognized as a reserve genetic resource for horse breeding. Due to their small numbers, they are also classified as an endangere.

While the word "bloom" obviously has many positive connotations, the effects of the algal bloom phenomenon - now increasingly common in the Baltic Sea - are certainly nothing pleasant. Although the prevailing view is that mankind is to blame, that is probably not the whole story.
