The article presents the characteristic features of the worldwide wolf spider family (Lycosidae) and describes how its study has affected Czech arachnology, which takes credit for resolving several issues. Among the 38 families of spiders living in the Czech Republic, wolf spiders are remarkable for their ecology. Wolf spider vital signs are so prominent that every observer inevitably notices their constant movement. In addition to history of the research into the wolf spider family, some faunistic issues are also presented. and Jan Buchar.
The second part of this article on the wolf spider family (Lycosidae) and the importance of Czech arachnologists in its study deals with various questions involving the taxonomy, zoogeography, ecology, bioindications and protection of these spiders, as well as their etology and cytogenetics. and Jan Buchar.
In the year 1909 was established in Prague Minority Museum as a mutually-supportive institution. Its goal was to pay attention to demographic problems, expecially the distribution of Czech minorities in nationally mexed (Czech-German) regions in the borderlands, as well as collection of documents on national, cultural and social situation. One of the concrete activities of the museum was to pursue guestionnaire surveys, on the basis of which was expected to enquire the situation of Czech minorities on Czech-German territories. The article shows how the questionnaires were processed and distributed. Given the fact that the archival collection "Minority Museum 1909-1920" in the National Archives in Prague contains only a torso of filled questionnaires, it can be speculated that in the period before the World War I it was not possible to realize this project., Andrej Sulitka., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Dánský historik Sune Bechmann Pedersen se v této komparativní studii, sepsané původně jako disertace na Lundské univerzitě, zaměřil na vytváření smyslu komunistické minulosti v českých a německých filmech po roce 1989. Za cíl si stanovil popsat vztah mezi komunistickou minulostí, postkomunistickou kinematografií a "historickou kulturou" v Německu a České republice. Recenzent nepovažuje za nejzajímavější na jeho studii analýzu samotných filmů, ale spíše jejich zasazení do kontextu dobových veřejných debat. Přes absenci televizních seriálů v jeho rozboru a neznalost některých důležitých českých publikací k tématu nabídl autor podle jeho soudu zajímavou a funkční komparaci, neotřelý pohled zvnějšku a poměrně komplexní záběr., In this work of comparative history, which was originally written as his dissertation at Lund University, the Danish historian Sune Bechmann Pedersen focuses on the creation of the meaning of the Communist past in Czech and German films since the Changes beginning in late 1989. His stated aim is to explain the relationship between the Communist past, post-Communist cinematography, and "history culture" (Geschichtskultur) in Germany and the Czech Republic. Rather than its analysis of the individual films, what the reviewer finds most interesting about the book is the author´s having placed the films in the context of contemporary debates. Despite the absence of television series in his analysis and his lack of knowledge about some important Czech publications on the topic, the author has, according to the reviewer, produced an interesting and useful comparative work that offers a fresh look from outside with a broad scope., [autor recenze] Cyril Poliačik., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
