If you are interested in Polonia
You are missing too much if you do not subscribe to the Samatian Review; a
triannual publication of the Polish Institute in Poland. The annual price
for their subscription is a steal.

The April 1997 issue has been released and contains book discussions and
reviews on:
==============
Jews in Poland
A Documentary History
by Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski
(reviewed by M.K. Dziewanowski)
---------------
"Pogonowski points out that between 1340 and 1772, the Jewish population of
Poland grew 75-fold, from 
about 10,000 to over three quarters of a million. During the same period,
the Christian population grew 
only five-fold." This is one of those rare books in which Jews are
encompassed withing Polish discourse.
=============

Europe: A History, by Norman Davies
1996 Edition
(reviewer not named)

So highly praised that one could say it qualifies for the scp history
handbook. JW
=================
ARCANA: Dwumesciecnik, by yearly subscription
edited by Andrzej Nowak
-----------------
"Most Poles do not know the treasures of their own cultural history,
suppressed as they remain after
Soviet occupation, earlier partitions, and contemporary advocates of
'progressivism.' Americans of Polish descent are even farther removed from
that precious knowledge and proud tradition of the sage and upright Polish
statesmen who put Law above the King, and who did notr view society as
a clay heap, to be reshaped according to a reformer's idea of a good society
."
