  POLAND - (Zbigniew M. Karaczun)
Arable land situated in central and eastern Poland (85 percent of the total area of Lodzkie Province) is mostly endangered by wind erosion; northern and upland districts by water erosion (71 percent of the total area of Bielskie Province) (GUS 1998).
Poland’s two principal rivers, the Vistula and the Odra, empty into the Baltic Sea after draining basins that cover almost (97 percent) the area of Poland.
In conclusion, although rural areas in Poland are under industry’s pressure and there is limited capacity for the agriculture to develop because of the degraded environment, the level of the natural habitat transformation in rural areas is generally less advanced than in Western Europe.

This is a short and articulate interview, which focuses mainly on the flood.
Zbigniew believes the authorities are primarily to blame for the degree of damage: “I was trying to somehow co-ordinate the actions of the helpless and badly organised Flood Committee.
There was total misinformation, there was no information about the coming danger, although several weeks, months later, it turned out that it was only faulty organisation… That we could have been warned much earlier”.

The triumph of national romanticism is responsible for shaping the concept of the Polish poet as national destiny’s supreme interpreter (Mickiewicz), its inspired visionary (Slowacki), or its shrewd dialectician (Krasinski).
Poland’s social reality was pressed in the service of grand national narratives, and individual perspective was sacrificed at the altar of patriotic soul — searching.
If there is a momentous break in the making of poetry in Poland initiated by the poetry of Adam Zagajewski, it may be the emergence of a new poetry free from the conceptual constraints of its one-time luminaries.

Zbigniew adds that local GAAP is now so close to international accounting standards that, for example in the case of Agora, there are no real discernible differences between the two.

Earlier, Mieszko III, the prince of Great Poland between 1138 and 1202 and the ruler of all Poland in 1173-77 and 1198-1202, employed Jews in his mint as engravers of dies and technical supervisors of all workers.
Towards the end of the Middle Ages Jews lived in 85 towns in Poland and their total number amounted to 18,000 in Poland and 6,000 in Lithuania, which represented merely 0.6 per cent of the total population of the two states.
Towards the end of the 16th century the flood of immigration abated and new communities were founded generally as a result of the movement of the population from the crowded districts to new quarters.
