Pre-White-Mountain patents of arms for Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian towns, market towns and villages

Pre-White-Mountain patents of arms for Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian towns, market towns and villages

Petr Houzar

The book deals with the study of heraldic charters from the pre-Bohemian period, when the promotion of villages to towns and towns to cities limited the power of the royal towns. The study examines the diplomatic and heraldic aspects of the charters, including the details of the emblems granted, which often differed in the Czech and German descriptions. A unique part of the book is the register, which provides a substantial recapitulation of the charters.

Education in turning points. Conversations with Tomáš Janík

Education in turning points. Conversations with Tomáš Janík

Tomáš Janík (Ed.)

The book is a collection of twelve interviews with Czech and foreign pedagogues on the topic of educational change. The respondents placed their answers in a broader timeframe, often reflecting the period of modernity - in particular the reformist educational movement at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, the period of the so-called social school and the period after 1989, which received the greatest attention. The interviews also touched on current issues such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Tomáš Janík discussed these issues with Stanislav Štech, Petr Najvar, Dana Kasperová, Karel Rýdl, Wilfried Göttlicher, Štefan Porubský, Vladimíra Spilková, Eliška Walterová, Michal Kaplánek, Vladimír Jůva, Dag Hrubý and Petra Šobáňová.
