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.

Abstrakt

Over the past 15 years Poland has seen changes in how people form and raise a family, meaning the process of marriage and procreation. Increasingly fewer children are being born, and women are deciding to marry and to have their first child at an increasingly later age.

Abstrakt

Abstrakt

Neither beautiful Italian marbles nor colorful Polish sandstones, not even hard Scandinavian granites are impervious to the "tooth of time."
