Chapters: Mountain Passes of the Dinaric Alps, Postojna Gate, Josephina, Big Korab Gate, Small Korab Gate, Vratnik Pass. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Postojna Gate (Slovene: ), also Adriatic Gate and Italo-Illyrian Gate, is a major mountain pass of the Dinaric Alps. Located in Slovenia, the pass's approximately 30-kilometre (19 mi) wide saddle allows for the lowest crossing of the Dinaric Alps, at an altitude of 606 metres (1,988 ft). It is bordered to the South by the Javorniki mountain range. The gate connects the Pannonian plain, the eastern Alps, the western Balkans, and Czech territories with northern Italy and the north-eastern Adriatic coast. It is a watershed between the Adriatic and the Danubian drainage basins and takes its name from the local town of Postojna. The pass was used by a section of the Amber Road that connected the Baltic lands with the Adriatic. It has been proposed that the voyage of the Argonauts is based on the possibility to travel the Danube, the Sava, and the Ljubljanica rivers upstream, cross the Postoja Gate, and come to the Adriatic Sea downstream on the western site. The Romans well aware that their core territory was threatened by the easy access through the Postojna Gate created a network of strategic roads, castles and walls, the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum, to stop possible invaders. It was crossed by the Goths and the Huns when they invaded Italy. By about 600 AD Slavs populated the area and crossed the gate to enter the Istrian peninsula. In the middle ages a number of castles were erected among them Predjama Castle, Prem Castle, and Castle Sovi. In modern times, the gap was crossed by the Austrian Southern Railway (Südbahn), the railway that was built 1839-1857 to connect Vienna over Lubljana to Tr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=26203548 ...

Chapters: Neretva. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 156. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Neretva -The Neretva flows through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and it is the largest karst river in the Dinaric Alps in the entire eastern part of the Adriatic basin, which belongs to the Adriatic river watershed. The total length is 230 km, of which 208 km are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the final 22 km are in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of Croatia. The size of the Neretva watershed is 10,380 km in total; in Bosnia and Herzegovina 10,110 km with the addition of the Trebinjica river watershed and in Croatia 280 km. The average discharge at profile itomislii in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 233 m/s and at the mouth in Croatia is 341 m/s in addition to the Trebinjica River's 402 m/s. The Trebinjica River basin is included in the Neretva watershed due to a physical link of the two basins by the porous karst terrain. Geographically and hydrologically the Neretva is divided into three sections. Its source and headwaters gorge are situated deep in the Dinaric Alps at the base of the Zelengora and Lebrnik Mountain, under the Gredelj peak, 1,227 m.a.s.l. The first section of the Neretva courses from its source all the way to the town of Konjic; the Upper Neretva (Bosnian: ), flows from south to north - north-west as do most Bosnia and Herzegovina rivers belonging to the Danube watershed, and covers some 1,390 km with an average elevation of 1.2%. Right below Konjic, the Neretva briefly expands into a wide valley which provides fertile agricultural land. The large Jablaniko Lake was artificially formed after construction of a dam near Jablanica. The second section begins from the confluence of the Neretva and the Rama River between Konjic and Jablanica where the Neretva suddenly takes a sout...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=854002 ...

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Krupa river is the Neretva left tributary and the main water current of Hutovo Blato, which leads the waters from Gornje Blato and Svitavsko lake into the Neretva river. The length of Krupa is 9 km with an average depth of 5 meters. Krupa does not have an actual source, but is actually an arm of Deransko lake. Also, the Krupa is a unique river in Europe, because the river flows both ways. It flows normally from the source to the mouth and from the mouth to the source. This happens when, due to high water level and large quantity of water, river Neretva pushes the Krupa river in opposite direction . ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=22063347 ... Read more

Generally useful
This is a collection of articles that cover the entire span of the history of the Bosnian Muslims, although the quality of the individual contributions varies greatly. The first three articles, which go from theMiddle Ages to 1878, are unfortunately uninformative and even tedious foranyone who has already done some reading on general Balkan history, andprobably confusing and perhaps overwhelming for those who have no previousknowledge in this field. By far the best piece is the article by thisvolume's editor, Mark Pinson, which covers the period of Austro-Hungarianrule in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1878-1918) and its effects on the Muslimcommunity. This was in fact a very crucial period for the Bosnian Muslims,because as Pinson points out, it was when they first became a politicallyaware as a community, and began to seek new ways to articulate their needs.The final article by Ivo Banac, which covers the twentieth century, is agood survey of Bosnian Muslim political history, but it lacks depth, whichis disappointing given the importance of this period for understandingevents in Bosnia today. There is also a useful, if somewhat dated, appendixfor finding further resources on Bosnia, both in print and on the Web. Thisbook is, thus, a generally useful reference source, but it could and shouldhave been something much more. ... Read more

They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Bosnia-Herzegovina," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Bosnia-Herzegovina in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Bosnia-Herzegovina when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences.

Description:
When the Dayton Peace Accords brought to an end three and a half years of conflict in Bosnia, Brcko municipality was not included in the agreement due to its strategic significance to all sides. The subsequent solution, to create a multi-ethnic District, was unique in Bosnia and involved an intensification of international intervention. Drawing on ethnographic field data, this paper examines the emergence of new local state institutions in Brcko District between 1995 and 2004. This historical narrative is divided into two: the first part examines the approach taken by the international community to resolve the dispute over Brcko municipality between 1995 and 1999. The second section draws on primary evidence to explore how these interventions have shaped local state institutions between 2000 and 2004. The paper highlights the partial successes of Brcko District, most notably high levels of refugee return and the creation of multi-ethnic institutions of governance. But these reforms have required close management by intervening agencies, provoking questions as to the sustainability of the Brcko model in the absence of international supervision. This paper therefore provides a case study of how democratization works in a specific regional setting and with careful attention to questions of power. ... Read more

A Complicated Issue in a Nutshell
Having been to Bosnia 5 times on humanitarian missions, I found that this book was accurate in explaining the central issues. I have always been interested in the "whys" of genocide, which this article covered in a very mind-provoking way. I am suggesting that all my future trip participants get a copy of this to give them an overview of this extremely complicated part of the world.

Atlas of War & Peace: Bosnia Herzegovina
This atlas may be useful for highways.Other readily available atlases and maps duplicate the other cartographic information.The text has to be updated, and the maps are useless for changes after the wars started.

Largely a compilation of tourist maps and old NYTimes pieces
The articles are useful for a view of the early part of the Bosnia war, but the maps are simply taken from pre-war highway touring guide maps of Yugoslavia.They are very general and do not offer a very clear view ofthe actual Bosnian conflict.This volume is hastily constructed andextremely commercial.A truly careful Atlas, using the widely availablecensus date from the former Yugoslavia, showing the population of each townand section by group, and showing the exact position of the movinginter-ethnic boundaries during the conflict would be invaluable and isstill desperately needed. Why the editors did not take advantage of thwextraordinary census information on the public record escapes thisreviewer, but it is deeply disappointing. Volumes that do present thisvital information are available, but not on the standard U.S. markets.

Divide and Fall?, the first full-length analysis of the post-Cold War revival of ethnic partition, is a major intervention in the study of international relations. Radha Kumar examines the carve-up of Bosnia, comparing it to earlier divisions of Ireland, India, Palestine and Cyprus.Amazon.com Review
Radha Kumar examines the Dayton Accords process by whichBosnia was carved up into zones of ethnic control--Serbs here, Croatsthere, Muslims in pockets between. This partition, Kumar argues,follows a procedure that had been largely abandoned until 1974, whenCyprus was bisected into zones of Greek and Turkish control. Ethnicdivision, Kumar writes, follows a lesser-of-two-evils logic: it isbetter to separate people along nationalist lines, however sketchy,than to allow them to fight out their differences.But division,though convenient for peacekeepers eager to pull out and go home, inthe end may not satisfy the combatants or introduce a realpeace. Partitions, in her view, simply do not work: as evidence, shesays, consider Palestine and the Indian subcontinent. Kumar's bookwill fuel much debate. ... Read more

Effective study of the evils of partition
This book is a study of that traditional trick of British diplomacy, partition. Dividing countries is a way of controlling them, before and after independence. The US and British states have divided Yugoslavia, then Bosnia, and now Kosovo. `Ethnic' divisions suit imperialism. Carlos Westendorp, the High Representative in Bosnia, has said that Kosovo's warring factions must be told, "Kosovo doesn't belong to either of you. It's ours. It's the new empire. It's the new colonialism done in the name of the international community."

Kumar examines other examples of partition and addresses the difficulties of reversing it. For instance, Blair's bullying tactics have now stalled the Irish peace process. He set five deadlines for implementing the Good Friday Agreement; he blustered that `there was no Plan B'. According to the Agreement, the IRA did not have to decommission its weapons: then Blair said they would, then he said they wouldn't. As long as the British Government has not set a date for withdrawal, all the Irish parties remain dependent on Britain, relating primarily to the British presence, either loving or hating the `Brits'. Once the Government sets a date, then they will all have to focus on their common task of rebuilding their beautiful country.

In an ironic reversal, partition could now be visited upon Britain; the European Union is regionalising `Euroland', to break up sovereign nation states. It fosters identity politics, puffing up cultural and regional identifications at the expense of class and national realities.

Kumar points out that the way to reverse partition is to achieve peace through development. But the US-British-EU aim of strengthening `market democracy' cuts across this goal, because it generates divisions and inequalities. Every country needs to create a common commitment to a strategy of rebuilding; they each need a workers' nationalism to unite and liberate their country. ... Read more
