Recenzovaná kniha vychází z hypotézy, že vojenské inovace (ve smyslu strategického myšlení) jsou zásadním způsobem podmíněny kulturními faktory příslušného prostředí, což autor verifikuje na příkladu amerického, sovětského a izraelského systému strategického myšlení ve druhé polovině dvacátého století. Tři vybrané systémy autor charakterizuje a srovnává, přičemž americkému přiznává technologický předstih, sovětskému koncepční nadřazenost a izraelskému především schopnost improvizace. Podle recenzenta kniha pracuje s přesně definovanými pojmy, obsahuje řadu zajímavých poznatků a je přesvědčivá v akcentu na kulturní podmíněnost vojenských faktorů. and [autor recenze] Dalibor Vácha.
This study is based on the author‘s paper entitled „Przemiany kulturowe na prełomie epok kamienia i brazu na Morawach i wokól Moraw w świetle przemysłów krzemieniarskich“ wirtten as part of a habilitation thesis completed at the Socio-Historical Faculty of the Rzeszów University. Polish and English versions of this paper are available on the Central Committee for Scientific Degrees and Titles (Warsaw, Poland) web page. Due to the wide scope of the issue, this work includes only a review of lithic industries from Young Eneolithic (Jevišovice, Bošáca and Globular Amphora cultures) until the end of the Early Bronze Age (the Věteřov group) on the territories of Moravia and Czech Silesia. Comprehensive analyses of typology, technology and changes in raw material preferences have revealed specific evolutionary patterns. Cultural transformations towards the end of the Stone Age resulted in the formation of the Bronze Age in eastern Central Europe. The research indicates that Moravia played an important role in these transformations, significantly influencing the adjacent regions (Lower Austria, Bohemia, Silesia and southwest Slovakia)., Lubomír Šebela., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Since the 1950s the term “gombik” has been used in Czech and Slovak archaeological literature to describe artifacts from the Early Middle Ages resembling buttons, which appear as an accessory of modern Hungarian as well as some Slovak men’s and women’s clothing. The most frequent occurrence of spherical pendants was recorded in graves of women and children; a lesser occurrence was recorded in graves of adult men. We may presume that the class that is referred to in written sources as dukes or even as noble faithful men applied it to jewelry - the “gombik” was probably created in the cultural space of this class and thus became indentifying symbol. and Hana Chorvátová.

The article provides an investigation into the foundational activities of Kutná hora burghers at the turn of the 15th centruy. It summarizes data on the holdings of the patronage rights to rural parish churches in the hands of burgher families. It also presents an analysis of reports on the pious foundations of altars, chapels, or liturgical memorials by burghers in order to establish how much Kutná Hora burghers utilized these churches as family burial grounds and thus also places of family memory, representation, and legitimization of their power or social position., Vojtěch Vaněk., and Obsahuje literaturu a odkazy pod čarou
