L. Maligranda REVIEW of the BOOK by MARIUSZ URBANEK
Математичнi Студiї. Т.50, №1 Matematychni Studii. V.50, No.1 УДК 51 L. Maligranda REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY MARIUSZ URBANEK, “GENIALNI – LWOWSKA SZKOL A MATEMATYCZNA” (POLISH) [GENIUSES – THE LVOV SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS] L. Maligranda. Review of the book by Mariusz Urbanek, “Genialni – Lwowska Szko la Matema- tyczna” (Polish) [Geniuses – the Lvov school of mathematics], Wydawnictwo Iskry, Warsaw 2014, 283 pp. ISBN: 978-83-244-0381-3 , Mat. Stud. 50 (2018), 105–112. This review is an extended version of my short review of Urbanek's book that was published in MathSciNet. Here it is written about his book in greater detail, which was not possible in the short review. I will present facts described in the book as well as some false information there. My short review of Urbanek’s book was published in MathSciNet [24]. Here I write about his book in greater detail. Mariusz Urbanek, writer and journalist, author of many books devoted to poets, politicians and other figures of public life, decided to delve also in the world of mathematicians. He has written a book on the phenomenon in the history of Polish science called the Lvov School of Mathematics. Let us add that at the same time there were also the Warsaw School of Mathematics and the Krakow School of Mathematics, and the three formed together the Polish School of Mathematics. The Lvov School of Mathematics was a group of mathematicians in the Polish city of Lvov (Lw´ow,in Polish; now the city is in Ukraine) in the period 1920–1945 under the leadership of Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus, who worked together and often came to the Scottish Caf´e (Kawiarnia Szkocka) to discuss mathematical problems. -

My Dear Colleague! [1/2] Thank You for the Cards and Congratulations
Ithaca, N.Y. 6.I.1940 [1/1] My Dear Colleague! [1/2] Thank you for the cards and congratulations. I [1/3] have not written you in for a long while because I did not receive [1/4] any answers to two letters [1/5] and I did not know what that meant. To Bloch [1/6] I wrote often and without results. I even had [1/7] the impression that he went back to Poland. [1/8] With me everything is in the best order. [1/9] I have familiarized myself with the regulations [1/10] and shortly I will begin applying for a non-quota visa. [1/11] I was told by the National Refugee Service that the matter is [1/12] easy. I only have to sign a few papers, [1/13] but that usually takes a while. [1/14] My parents sent me news that they are alive [1/15] and healthy. They are in the Russian portion. In Warsaw and [1/16] in the German part in general there are supposedly [1/17] some horrific things happening. [1/18] I have nothing from Steinhaus. Zygmund1 will probably [1/19] arrive at M.I.T. for next [1/20] semester. I was told2 that Marcinkiewicz and Kaczmarz3 [1/21] were shot because they were officers.4 [2/1] All of it is monstrous and sometimes5 I just don’t want to [2/2] think about it. [2/3] I hope that you are doing well [2/4] and that you are satisfied like I am. -

Agency at the Frontier and the Building of Territoriality in the Naranjo-Ceibo Corridor, Peten, Guatemala
AGENCY AT THE FRONTIER AND THE BUILDING OF TERRITORIALITY IN THE NARANJO-CEIBO CORRIDOR, PETEN, GUATEMALA By LUIS ALFREDO ARRIOLA A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Luis Alfredo Arriola To my beloved family, in appreciation of all they have endured. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The sheer magnitude of a dissertation necessarily engages multiple collaborations. In consequence I render proper credit to the people and institutions who partook of this endeavor. My everlasting gratitude goes, first and foremost, to the people of Naranjo and Ceibo who taught more than I could ever learn from them. Intellectual support was always there when needed from committee members, namely Professors Allan Burns, Marianne Schmink, Michael Heckenberger, and Murdo MacLeod. They challenged my intellect in many positive, creative ways. My dissertation mutual support group is recognized for invaluable contributions to my refining of the manuscript’s content and form at several stages of its development. The insightful feedback from Alex Rodlach, Maxine Downs, Deborah Rodman, Paige Lado, and Fatma Soud helped me through difficult times. My editors, Martha Jeanne Weismantel, Tara Boonstra and Mark Minho, have but my highest regards. Other people who accompanied me in this intellectual journey and who deserve mentioning include Norman Schwartz, Victor Hugo Ramos, Edgar Calderón, Roberto Barrios, Kevin Gould, Georg Grumberg, Julio Cano and Werner Ramírez. Diverse kinds of support came from Tom Ankersen, Hugo Guillen, Bruce Ferguson, Richard Phillips, Paul Losch, Marie-Claire Paiz, Abimael Reinoso, Jorge Soza, Amilcar Corzo, Mario Mancilla and Luis A. -

Математичнi Студiї. Т.46, №2 Matematychni Studii. V.46, No.2 УДК 51 L. Maligranda REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY ROMAN DUDA, “PEARLS FROM A LOST CITY. THE LVOV SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS” L. Maligranda. Review of the book by Roman Duda, “Pearls from a lost city. The Lvov school of mathematics”, Mat. Stud. 46 (2016), 203–216. This review is an extended version of my two short reviews of Duda's book that were published in MathSciNet and Mathematical Intelligencer. Here it is written about the Lvov School of Mathematics in greater detail, which I could not do in the short reviews. There are facts described in the book as well as some information the books lacks as, for instance, the information about the planned print in Mathematical Monographs of the second volume of Banach's book and also books by Mazur, Schauder and Tarski. My two short reviews of Duda’s book were published in MathSciNet [16] and Mathematical Intelligencer [17]. Here I write about the Lvov School of Mathematics in greater detail, which was not possible in the short reviews. I will present the facts described in the book as well as some information the books lacks as, for instance, the information about the planned print in Mathematical Monographs of the second volume of Banach’s book and also books by Mazur, Schauder and Tarski. So let us start with a discussion about Duda’s book. In 1795 Poland was partioned among Austria, Russia and Prussia (Germany was not yet unified) and at the end of 1918 Poland became an independent country. -
