?The spiral of global dependency created by China calls for a comparative approach that draws upon local perspectives in every region of the world.

These articles demonstrate the similarities in processes of transformation in both regions, and they address the challenges of socio-cultural and economic developments that have occurred in China and the Central and Eastern Europe countries.

In recent years, there has been intensive development of the Polish civil aviation sector, especially regional airports. Effective growth requires a diagnosis of their competitiveness in today's turbulent passenger transport market. The book compares regional airports in Poland with competitive European ports. It uses econometric analysis to model regional airport competitiveness, which is applicable to practical management of modern airports. The book also analyzes possible directions of the growth of Polish airports, taking into account the current economic and political situation as well as forecasts for passenger transport sector development.

The present volume is a token of gratitude for our colleague, Janina Aniela Ozga, a senior lecturer at the Institute of English Philology of the Jagiellonian University. The book is a collection of papers on a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from Hamlet to Zoolander, which reflect diverse academic interests of the authors: literary theory, linguistics, translation studies, philosophy of language, history and language teaching. The common thread running through all the papers is the desire of the authors - all of them humanists involved in academic pursuits - to place in a theoretical perspective of their discipline and shed new light on an interesting research problem in literature, art, language use, or language teaching that they have identified.
