Remarks on the environmental adaptation of man.
1971
In this paper the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.

2007
Masteroppgave i engelsk- Universitetet i Agder 2007 This thesis commences with a description of Pre-Roman and Roman Britain, to identify the people who lived in Northumbria and their background. The description then progresses with an explanation about the withdrawal of the Romans, and the state of affairs they left behind, giving also a reason for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Once this is established, the scene which the Anglo-Saxons meet on their arrival is depicted, and their subsequent settlement recounted. The Anglo-Saxons were a warlike people, so their belligerent activities suppressing the Celts, and the campaigning between themselves and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms for supremacy, …

Il "Candide" da Voltaire e Bernstein
2015
Il saggio ricostruisce la genesi del "Candide" di Leonard Bernstein, e la storia delle sue tante stesure e riprese: dal primo progetto teatrale del 1953-54 sino cosiddetta "Scottish Opera Version, curata da John Mauceri, del 1988.

Polish Americans in the History of Bilingual Lexicography: The State of the Art
2018
This paper measures dictionaries made by Polish Americans against the development of the Polish–English and English–Polish lexicographic tradition. Of twenty nine monoscopal and biscopal glossaries and dictionaries published between 1788 and 1947, four may be treated as mile-stones: Erazm Rykaczewski's (1849–1851), Władysław Kierst and Oskar Callier's (1895), Władysław Kierst's (1926–1928), and Jan Stanisławski's (1929). Unsurprisingly, they came to be widely repub-lished in English-speaking countries, primarily the United States of America, for the sake of Polish-speaking immigrants. One might therefore wonder whether there was any pressing need for new dictionaries. There must have been, …
