Misha Glenny`s acclaimed
account of the war in
former Yugoslavia
contains substantial new
material that discusses
the end of the five-year
conflict and looks ahead
to an uneasy future in
this turbulent region.
Writing in the ”Evening
Standard”, Fitzroy
Maclean said `Misha
Glenny`s deeply
disturbing book is, to
my mind, essential
reading for anyone trying
to understand, or even
just follow, events in
what was once
Yugoslavia`.

Imray has commissioned
this English language
edition of Skagerrak
Forlag`s Harbour Guide to
Slovenia, Croatia and
Montenegro, which covers
the coasts of those
countries and their
islands. The Norwegian
publisher has already
established a
comprehensive series of
Harbour Guides
(Havneguiden) for the
Baltic Sea that
concentrate on providing
the user with the
clearest possible
information for entering
harbours and anchorages.
This joint venture
extends the series to the
Adriatic. Each harbour is
presented on its own page
with specially
commissioned aerial
photos annotated to show
approach lines and
anchoring places,
supported by clear
harbour plans, a fact
box and sailing
directions. Aerial
photographs offer a quick
overview of the character
of the harbour, its
atmosphere, facilities
and fairways, danger
spots and mooring points.
Depths, skerries and
shallows are clearly
marked. Large scale
plans, one per harbour,
include depths, safest
approaches and berthing
details. Each harbour
text is divided into two
sections; a General
overview describing the
history and scenery of
the area and information
on what to see and do
when there, and a
Berthing section with
information on how to
approach and the hazards
to watch out for, and
where it is safe and
sheltered to tie up. Fact
boxes provide a quick
overview of the harbour
facilities, useful
websites and contact
details. The book is
divided into five sailing
areas each with a helpful
overview chart on which
harbours are marked.

Growing up in Zagreb in
the summer of 1991,
10-year-old Ana Juric is
a carefree tomboy; she
runs the streets with her
best friend, Luka,
helps take care of her
baby sister, Rahela,
and idolizes her father.
But when civil war breaks
out across Yugoslavia,
football games and school
lessons are supplanted by
sniper fire and air raid
drills. The brutal ethnic
cleansing of Croats and
Bosnians tragically
changes Ana`s life, and
she is lost to a world of
genocide and child
soldiers; a daring escape
plan to America becomes
her only chance for
survival. Ten years later
she returns to Croatia,
a young woman struggling
to belong to either
country, forced to
confront the trauma of
her past and rediscover
the place that was once
her home.
