Podpoříme rodiny s dětmi a zvýšíme daňové zvýhodnění rodičů! Oblíbené sliby politiků slýcáme před každými volbami. Přesto porodnost nestoupá a podíl nezaměstnaných matek do šesti let věku dítěte u nás zůstavá druhý nejvyšší v celé EU. Jak je to možné? a jak tato situace poškozuje naší ekonomiku? and Luděk Svoboda.
The catastrophic floods in the Czech lands in July 1997 and August 2002 showed that historical flood memory had been lost. The little used sources to recover it include early printed books. This article brings a selection of several exceptional flood cases captured by printed documents from the 16th-18th centuries. Extant early printed books and the information that they contain (verified from other sources where possible) suitably complement and extend the potential of historical hydrology and meteorology for the study and documentation of early floods that occurred before the beginning of instrumental observations and measurements. and Jan Munzar, Stanislav Ondráček, Lubor Kysučan.
A revision of species of the genus Macroscytus Fieber distributed in Madagascar and adjacent islands is presented. Four previously known species [M. fryeri Distant, M. lobatus Signoret, M. madagascariensis (Signoret), M. privignus Horváth] are redescribed, and lectotypes are designated for three of them. Four new species (M. mayottensis sp. n., M. simulans sp. n., M. tamatavei sp. n., and M. viettei sp. n.) are described and compared with their congeners. A key to all species of the genus known from Madagascar and adjacent islands is also provided., Jerzy A. Lis, and Lit
Komu z nás by se při tété otázce neobjevili před očima voňavé kloboučky hříbků, elegantní bedly či rezavé lišky - nebo je libo drahocenné lanýže? Sotva si zároveň vybavíme doma nevítané houby dřevokazné nebo mikroskopické, laiky běžné označované jako plisně, které mohou jak zabíjet, tak zachraňovat životy. Biologové se je učí znát a využívat k našemu prospěchu stále důkladněji. and Jana Olivová, Stanislava Kyselová, Milan Gryndler, Jiří Jirout.

The Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASL) manages a significant collection of books on aeronautics. The collection was assembled by the collector Eduard Langer more than a hundred years ago. Its part kept in the ASL consists of 67 printed books in 61 volumes. These are rarely preserved books from the 18th and 19th centuries in Italian, French, English, German and Latin. No other such extensive collection on this topic has been found in domestic libraries, and, although it is only a part of Langer’s original collection, it bears comparison even with collections of world-famous institutions. The text presents this remarkable collection in terms of provenance, authors and genres and is complemented by a list of printed books. and Andrea Jelínková.
