POLISH SCIENCE

ITS NEEDS, ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Yearbook of the Mianowski Fund

Warsaw 1925

Volume V-VI

The "Nauka Polska" yearbook was established in 1918 by the Mianowski Fund as one of the first scientific and knowledge periodicals in the Second Republic. Stanisław Michalski became the editor-in-chief. The magazine's rank in the interwar period was very high, as evidenced by the fact that it published in its pages the scientific literacy programs of Florian Znaniecki, Maria and Stanislaw Ossowski or reports from the meetings of the Scientific Circle. In 1947, when the 25th volume was published and the "Perspectives of Polish science in the epoch of historical change" contained in it were rejected, unaccepted by the authorities of the time and it was decided to liquidate the journal. It was not until more than 40 years later, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, that the "Józef Mianowski Fund" was already established in a new formula as the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and the Yearbook "Polish Science - Its Needs, Organization and Development" was reactivated, with Jan Piskurewicz and Andrzej Srodka as editors. The new "Nauka" is similar in character to the pre-war volumes, focusing on the presentation of scientific achievements in Poland as well as in Europe and describing the most important problems facing science in the homeland.
