Human-Environment Interactions Within the Landscape Mosaic of the Central European Section of the Dune Belt in the Light of Palaeobotanical Studies (Włoszczowa Basin, Southern Poland)
Late Saalian climatic oscillations – revision of pollen record in Poland compared to other evidences
Extinction and Religion
Transformation of treeless depression wetlands in Central Europe over the last 100 years
Historical changes in land use and development over the last century were analysed to identify the main causes and directions of changes in depression wetland ecosystems in the Włoszczowa Basin, an area of 1600 km2 in southern Poland. The analysis of Military Cartographic Institute maps and orthophotomaps, as well as field surveys, made it possible to determine the scale of degradation of 247 treeless depression wetlands. It was shown that the na…

‘Spirituality’ in Health Studies
The article investigates discourses of 'spirituality' in the field of Health Studies, among scholarly voices and the voices of the practitioners and patients these studies reflect. It examines current trends in contemporary spirituality as well as links with debates involving science, religion and secularisation. The article argues that, in the public domain, 'spirituality' is beginning to denote a collective practice rather than an individual se…
Christian Discourses and Cultural Change
The article examines the Greenbelt festival in the UK, looking at how Green and Liberal Christians experiment with sacred spaces during worship occasions, talks and workshops. I show that Greenbelt represents a syncretic encounter between the modern festival culture on one hand and Christian community experiments and aspirations on the other, some that can be traced back to the nineteenth century Romantic Movement. I posit that the festival repre…
Sky vs. Earthly Empowerment
The article examines “sky saviour” themes in a number of sources in the Western cultural domain, from biblical texts to contemporary paranormal fantasy, in contrast with some countercultural and ecocritical reformulations that are earth-centred. I postulate “narratives of empowerment” as representations of humans’ relationships with remembered and imagined landscapes which aim to construct new identities. I apply biosemiotic and relational theore…
Compositional turnover and variation in Eemian pollen sequences in Europe
The east-west migration of trees during the Eemian Interglacial registered on isopollen maps of Poland
Counterculture, Local Authorities and British Christianity at the Windsor and Watchfield Free Festivals (1972–5)
Four free pop festivals, held in Windsor and Watchfield in 1972-75, attracted significant public attention. This article discusses the aims and ideals of the festivalgoers, the confused reactions of the authorities, the ambivalence of the Anglican Church and the hostility of some conservative groups. We argue that the free festivals mark an important stage in the constitution of the counterculture and that they created a model which later pop fes…
