"John Lilburne (1615-1657), or 'Freeborn John' as he was called by the London crowd, was an important political agitator during the English Revolution. He was one of the leading figures in The Levellers, the short-lived but highly influential radical sect that called for law reform, religious tolerance, extended suffrage, the rights of freeborn Englishmen, and a new form of government that was answerable to the people and underpinned by a written constitution. This edited book assesses the legacy of Lilburne and the Levellers 400 years after his birth, and features contributions by leading historians. They examine the life of Lilburne, who was often imprisoned and even tortured for his beliefs, and his role as an inspirational figure even in contemporary politics. They also assess the writings that fearlessly exposed the hypocrisy and self-serving corruption of those in power - whether King Charles I or Oliver Cromwell. They look at his contribution to political ideas, at his role as a revolutionary leader, his personal and political relations with his wife Elizabeth, his exile in the Netherlands, his late decision to become a Quaker, and his reputation after his death. This collection will be of enormous interest to academics, researchers, and readers with an interest in the English Civil War, 17th Century history, and the contemporary legacy of radical political tradition."--Provided by publisher

The purpose of the article is to obtain information about the history of «Kyiv Camerata» and Valerii Matiukhin ‒an outstanding Ukrainian pianist, musical and public figure, as well as a conductor, artistic director and general director of this band. The research methodology is based on historical-biographical and historical-cultural methods. The scientific novelty of the proposed article lies in the fact that most of the given information is provided directly «from the first mouth» and for the first time. This mainly concerns to certain episodes of V. Matiukhin's biography, related to his school and student years, teachers, views on the performance of modern music and the art of conducting. The article is written in a rather atypical format for a scientific presentation, which is based on the direct speech of the main character. His speech is prepared or supplemented by appropriate explanations of the author of the article, made post factum. This is explained by the fact that the author of the article has been working in this band for more than two decades (since April 2001) and knows it, as they say, «from the inside». But since music is, after all, a non-verbal art, that «speaks for itself», over the years quite a lot of questions have been accumulated regarding the history of the orchestra in general and the creative path of V. Matiukhin in particular ‒ questions that have not yet been clarified in musicology. Therefore, on the occasion of the specified anniversary date, we decided to talk with Valerii Oleksandrovych and bring this conversation to the general public Conclusions. The conducted research confirms that V. Matiukhin has a great deal of credit for the success of the «Kyiv Camerata». Most of the band's prospects appeared due to the magnetism of his personality, based again on deep knowledge and understanding of the essence of his profession, high internal culture and great modesty. That is why, in the process of communication with the Maestro, we once again became convinced that the study of the activities of an outstanding band must begin with the study of the creative figure of V. Matiukhin.
Key words: Ukrainian instrumental music, V. Matiukhin-conductor, «Kyiv Camerata», creative works of Y. Stankovych, dodecaphony.

'Tis the season of anniversaries in Germany. 2009 unfolded like a hitparade of history. March ushered in the sixtieth anniversary of the foundingof the Federal Republic and May witnessed the sixtieth anniversary ofthe end of the Berlin Blockade. After a summer lull, the seventiethanniversary of Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland fell on 1 Septemberand in October, the twentieth anniversary of the first Monday demonstrationin Leipzig took place. Finally, the month of November offered up amajor date—the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall—and alesser one, suited more for the political connoisseur: the fortieth anniversaryof the Social Democratic Party's (SPD) ratification of the GodesbergerProgram. 2010, of course, culminates in October with the twentiethanniversary of unification.

Hołd Ignacemu Domeyce (1802-1889) w dwusetną rocznicę urodzin Ignacy Domeyko was bom on July 31, 1802 in Niedźwiadka, Novogrodek district. After attending the Piarist College in Szczuczyn he studied at the Vilna University and got the M. Sc. degree in 1822. As a member of the illegal Philomat Society was interned till 1829. In 1831, as participant of anti-Russian insurrection had to escape to Prussia, from where moved to Saxony and France. In the years 1832-1838 Domeyko was studying exact and geosciences at Sorbonne and Ecole des Mines. Invited by the Government of Chile was teaching physico-chemical and geo-sciences in the Coquimbo College in La Serena in the years 1838-1846, carrying out large-scale geological and ethnographic field studies as well as chemical-mineralogical investigations. In the years 1846-1884 Domeyko was very active as academic teacher and in the period 1867-1883 as rector of the Chile University in Santiago, continuing research works and reforming local education system. His many-sided activity contributed significantly to economic and educational progress of Chile. At the final stage of his life (1884-1888) Domeyko, as already world-wide known scientist, could visit his homeland and other European countries, as well as Holy Land, but on the way back felt ill and on January 23, 1889 died in Santiago, admired and venerated by Chileans as their apostle of science and education. The present paper deals with essential Domeyko's achievements in geosciences. Already during his stay in Paris the results of his observations on sinking of the area of East Prussia in historic times were published and Domeyko has prepared the geographic atlas of the territory of the native Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but only a part of it could be printed. In Chile, apart from didactic activity, accenated by edition of handbooks on mineralogy and assaying, Domeyko was carrying out large-scale geological, mining and mineralogical investigations of the Andes showing predilection to chemical analyses of collected materials. As follows from the inspection of archival materials, he is the author of at least 160 analyses of various, often chemically very complicated, minerals (including meteorites) and about 60 analyses of waters. This resulted in the discovery of several new minerals which were announced in renowned European periodicals. One of them - copper arsenide - was named by W. Haidinger domeykite. Besides, several Andean fossils sent by Domeyko to France were by A. d'Orbigny and other French palaeontologists named after their discoverer. Following several minor papers on regional geology, including detailed studies of volcanic phenomena, he published in 1878 in Polish a monograph on Chilean Cordilleras and ore deposits, comparing some their fragments with similar horizons in the Polish Carpathians. These and other problems treated by Domeyko in numerous publications are discussed in the present paper. Domeyko's achievements were highly appreciated by several European and American scientific societies and universities by conferring him memberships and honorary doctorates. Moreover, due to his exceptional personality and spirituality, expressed in deeply Christian virtues realized in private and social life, Domeyko is a candidate for beatification. Geoscientists of Poland, Lithuania, Chile, Belorussia, France and other countries are celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birth, paying homage to this eminent citizen of the world.
