Acknowledgements
There are many people I wish to thank for their part in writing this book. The book is based on research conducted between July 2012 and June 2015 at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. And there are many without whose support this book could not have happened. The most important person, who played a major role in supporting me through the whole process of conducting research and the laborious work of actual writing, is Professor Janusz Mucha from AGH University of Sciences and Technology in Krakow, Poland. Janusz Mucha was the one who inspired and pushed me to continue sociological research. He was also the one who encouraged me to apply for different research grants and thanks to whom I received funding to conduct research in Poland and Sweden. Without a doubt, this book would not be possible without Janusz’s support. I am also grateful to Professor Krystyna Slany from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and Professor Danuta Duch-Krzystoszek from the Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw, who were the first ones to read
