In 1926-1930 he studied at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. That uni- versity, founded in 1364, the oldest in Poland and one of the oldest in 'Central Europe, was at that time characterized by a specific tradition and atmosphere. There young Stanisław Leszczycki was lucky to have excellent masters. Two of them should particularly be mentioned: Ludomir Sawicki and Jerzy Smoleń- ski. Sawicki, a universal geographer of wide interests who had carried field research both in Poland and abroad, an indefatigable investigator especially of mountains and mountain life, has greatly influenced and encouraged his young student's interest in similar matters; Smoleński, whose own work, marked by extreme precision and accuracy, was centred mainly on physical geography yet by no means limited to it — he was also well familiar with social and economic problems — has deepened young Leszczycki's theoretical and methodological interests. Very soon Leszczycki was appointed assistant and later senior assistant at the Chair of Geography. In 1932 he was granted a Ph.D. for the thesis Geograph- ical Research on Rural Settlement in Beskid Wyspowy (in Polish). His main interest at that time was settlement and tourist geography of mountain areas; in his studies he aimed at the determination and discussion of mutual relations between the conditions of geographical environment on the one hand, and the rural settlement and tourist economy on the other. Very early he also established the first international contacts. As a student he was member of several geographical excursions involving some field work. As an assistant he visited Czechoslovakia, Austria, Germany, Britain, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Estonia, Italy and Switzerland. His early research work abroad was carried on in the Austrian Alps, the Scandinavian countries, Yugoslavia, and Turkey. It involved investigation of the dependence of middle- sized farms in various latitudes on their geographical environment (within 35-70°N latitude). The field research carried by Stanisław Leszczycki in 1936 in Anatolia, Turkey, deserves a particular mention here since the data collected there constituted the basis of his habilitation dissertation on the Geographical Research of Rural Settlement in Southern Anatolia. In 1936 he organized a postgraduate course of tourism at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow; the course had its own publications. His foreign contacts http://rcin.org.pl 8 J. KOSTROWICKI concerning research on tourism and recreation developed widely and involved, among others, specialists from Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Greece and the Scandinavian countries. Soon after graduation he took an active part in the Illrd Congres of the Sla- vonic Geographers and Ethnographers in Yugoslavia in 1930. In 1934 Leszczycki took part in the XlVth International Geographical Congress in Warsaw. During World War II — this time not very willingly — Stanislaw Leszczycki also spent a few years abroad: in the Nazi concentration camps in Sachsenhau- sen and Dachau. Very soon after the liberation he was appointed expert on boundary prob- lems at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs; in 1946-1950 he was Deputy Mi- nister of Foreign Affairs. In that capacity he took part in several international conferences in Paris, Potsdam, Moscow, Prague and Copenhagen. He also made several other trips abroad, travelling as far as Montevideo for the general con- ference of UNESCO in 1954. In 1945 he was appointed associate (extraordinary) professor of the Jagiello- nian University. In 1948 he was offered the Chair of Economic Geography at the University of Warsaw, which he accepted. He laid foundation for the creation of the Institute of Geography of this University and was Director of the Institute between 1952-1970. In 1952 he was elected member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and became its Deputy Scientific Secretary. In that capacity, while he was busy organizing research work on the national scale, he also made several trips abroad. When, due to his effort, the research Institute of Geography of the Polish Academy of Sciences was established in 1953, he became his first and only Di- rector. During the 25 years of his directorship, attracted by the atmosphere he was able to create, a number of scholars from various centres have become affi- liated to the Institute. Together with those who were educated at the Institute, they have developed it into a strong centre of research both on the national and international scale. Despite his growing organizational and administrative responsibilities, Pro- fessor Leszczycki has always had time for his numerous students, of both the University and the Academy Institutes, who worked under his supervision for their master's or doctoral degrees. Nor did he neglect his own research at this time: he had been working on the history of geographical sciences, on theory and methodology of geography, and on industrial geography. Professor Leszczycki has always well understood the need for the practical application of geographical studies. Thus as early as 1933 he started his cooper- ation with regional planning. His prewar book Region Podhala (Podhale Re- gion) which was at the time criticized for its practical approach may indeed serve up to date as an example of a fundamental geographical study purposely written to be used in planning. He renewed his contacts with planning after the war. This approach could clearly be seen in the way he oriented the research work of the Academy Insti- tute of Geography. Without neglecting theoretical and methodological investiga- tions he always stressed the need for the practical approach to geographical studies. In result, from its very beginning a number of studies have been carried on at the Institute which contributed to the better knowledge and to spatial de- velopment of individual functions and regions. As the Institute has eventually become a well-known centre of such research, in 1970, within the so-called priority or key problems selected by the government a§ most important for http://rcin.org.pl PROFESSOR STANISŁAW LESZCZYCKI'S

  • World Regional Geography Book Series
    World Regional Geography Book Series Series Editor E. F. J. De Mulder DANS, NARCIS, Utrecht, The Netherlands What does Finland mean to a Finn, Sichuan to a Sichuanian, and California to a Californian? How are physical and human geographical factors reflected in their present-day inhabitants? And how are these factors interrelated? How does history, culture, socio-economy, language and demography impact and characterize and identify an average person in such regions today? How does that determine her or his well-being, behaviour, ambitions and perspectives for the future? These are the type of questions that are central to The World Regional Geography Book Series, where physically and socially coherent regions are being characterized by their roots and future perspectives described through a wide variety of scientific disciplines. The Book Series presents a dynamic overall and in-depth picture of specific regions and their people. In times of globalization renewed interest emerges for the region as an entity, its people, its landscapes and their roots. Books in this Series will also provide insight in how people from different regions in the world will anticipate on and adapt to global challenges as climate change and to supra-regional mitigation measures. This, in turn, will contribute to the ambitions of the International Year of Global Understanding to link the local with the global, to be proclaimed by the United Nations as a UN-Year for 2016, as initiated by the International Geographical Union. Submissions to the Book Series are also invited on the theme ‘The Geography of…’, with a relevant subtitle of the authors/editors choice.

Previous allozymic and karyotypic studies showed high gene flow and absence of genetic structuration. This study aimed to analyze the geographic patterns of cranial morphometric variation among populations of this species in Tunisia. The extent of morphometric patterns was addressed in a survey of 13 craniodental characters among 162 adult specimens collected from 12 localities within its distribution range by using univariate and multivariate statistics. Our results supported the existence of three morphotypes of this species comparable to three climatic zones, the northern, central, and southern regions of Tunisia. The probability of the correct classification of specimens was 99.38%, indicating significant degrees of variation in craniodental characteristics among these three morphotypes. In addition, we tested the effects of age, sex, geography, and some habitat variables (such as precipitation) on the size of the skull.

Pričujoči članek na osnovi podatkov v starih zemljiških evidencah obravnava območje od Bele Peči do Jesenic, ki ga je v preteklosti močno zaznamovalo rudarjenje in do danes pustilo trajni pečat. Zemlja je za osnovno kmetijsko dejavnost slabo rodovitna in najbolj primerna za živinorejo, mikroklimatske razmere pa se od ene do druge katastrske občine nekoliko razlikujejo. Klima je povsod bolj ali manj visokogorska in kmetijski pridelavi dokaj neprijazna. V preteklosti pa je tistim, ki so živeli v visokogorskih predelih območja, življenje oteževala tudi geografska odmaknjenost. KLJUČNE BESEDE Zgornjesavska dolina, kmečko življenje, Bela Peč, Rateče, Podkoren, Dovje, Hrušica, Jesenice, Kranjska Gora, Planina, Gozd ABSTRACT RURAL LIFE IN THE UPPER SAVA VALLEY IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES The area of the Upper Sava Valley is a vast and diverse one and, according to the Gams’s landscape-ecological clas- sification, also includes the alpine valley of the Sava Dolinka River. Drawing on old land records, the paper at hand discusses the area stretching from Bela Peč to Jesenice, which was once strongly affected by the mining industry, with its traces still visible today.
