Opis:
Edward Stenz (1897-1956) was a renowned Polish scientist and explorer whose life was closely associated with Afghanistan. He went to Afghanistan before World War II and stayed there for nine years (1939-1948) due to the political situation in Europe. He pursued research throughout the country, which was not easy since Afghanistan had virtually no infrastructure, distances were large and the landscape tough to manage. Stenz left for Asia with a solid background in research techniques acquired at Polish universities. In Afghanistan he found himself in a situation with no educated individuals to rely on. He endured an enormous workload including scientific research, organizational activity and teaching activity. Stenz was a professor at the University of Kabul, where he wrote textbooks and lecture notes for his students. He also published his research results in self-published journals. Stenz supervised the construction of meteorological stations and spent a good amount of his time in the field. He made attempts to help his countrymen during the war. As a good student of the theories published by Poland's best known scientist, Nicholas Copernicus, he tried to make Afghans aware of his accomplishments. He also published in two foreign languages in order to give his research broader international exposure. Stenz identified the climate zones in Afghanistan by doing research in the field of evaporation. Stenz divided Afghanistan into hydrographic regions and made meaningful gains in the area of Afghanistan's tectonics. He designed and founded the Central Meteorological Observatory in Kabul. He was the director of the Observatory for more than a year. His papers on Afghanistan's meteorology, hydrography, geophysics and geo-thermodynamics remain relevant today. The research Stenz performed in Afghanistan was not the only research on his life's list of accomplishments. His research accomplishments include those prior to his travel to Afghanistan and those in the few short years following his return to Poland. His key accomplishment in Afghanistan was the creation of a basis for the development of the environmental sciences in a country with radically different cultural traditions, something he often noted himself. The 1939-48 legacy of Edward Stenz appears to be forgotten today, which is why it is important to remind readers of it.

Opis:
Ashoka’s inscriptions from KandaharThe article presents the silhouette of one of the most famous rulers in the history, the Indian emperor Ashoka. However, the knowledge about him is still not impressive. Recognized and identified by the scientists relatively late he proved to be a particular monarch – after a period of tyranny and ruthlessness, cruelty inflicted by him and use of violence on a grand scale he has undergone a moral metamorphosis and attempted to expand, using authoritarian ways, pacifism to make humanity happy. To the religion of India he was like Constantine to Christianity. He promoted peace, tolerance and pacifism in the whole known world. The gate and bridge for Ashoka in the transmission of his ideas and mission towards west frontier were the areas influenced by Greeks: Gedrosia, Drangiana, Arachosia, Gandhara (largely part of contemporary Afghanistan). Strong cultural bastion of Bactria expanding to the south displaced Greek Alexandrian-Seleucid elements, what guaranteed Ashoka a success in the Hellenistic world. He based his projection on the Greek culture and Aramaic language, therefore not on Indian, but on the West Asian ideas. The meaning of Ashoka’s inscriptions found in Kandahar is a guideline for travelers and for those looking for the way to happiness.
