Reviewing this monograph, Prof. Eryk Krasucki wrote that it is: (...) a multifaceted, extremely erudite and intriguing description and interpretation of the regenerative projects that were attempted in Pomerania in the first half of the 20th century. The monograph sparkles with ideas and brilliant comparisons, delighting with its fresh approach. At the same time it sets a new course for research into the past of Szczecin and Pomerania, and should be of interest to a wide range of humanists.
