Tourists visiting Poland are taken to see Cracow, the nation's soul, where a new, humanistic civilization was created and from which it spread. Indeed, the role of the Polish people hasn't only been as the defenders of the West, but also as a pivot, a conduit by means of which ideas, knowledge, and technologies have moved through Europe and the world. This book is about the creativity and larger-than-life achievements of the daughters and sons of Poland.
