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: Meimurje County -Meimurje is nicknamed Hortus Croatiae, which is Latin for "the flower garden of Croatia". Its unofficial symbols include the Eurasian Collared Dove (Croatian: grlica gugutka, but locally referred to just as grlica), which is one of the most common birds in the region, and the violet (ljubiica). The region is often called Meimurje malo, which is Croatian for "Little Meimurje". Its Croatian name can be translated as "the land between the Mura" (Mei (between) + mor(j)e (sea)). In Hungarian, the region is known as Muraköz, which can be translated as "the space between the Mura", while its German name, Murinsel, means "the island on the Mura". Meimurje County covers the plains between the rivers of Mura and Drava. The Mura flows along the county's northern border with the Slovenian region of Prekmurje as well as its eastern border with Hungary's Zala County, while the Drava flows along the county's southern border with two other Croatian counties, Varadin County and Koprivnica-Krievci County. There are two reservoir lakes on the Drava, Lake Varadin and Lake Dubrava, both built to serve the two hydroelectric power plants based in the county. Lake Dubrava, located near the city of Prelog, is the biggest artificial lake in Croatia and the second largest lake overall in the country. The power plant using Lake Varadin is named after the county seat, akovec, while the one using Lake Dubrava is named Dubrava, taking its name from the village of Donja Dubrava. The county's elevation ranges between 120 and 344 meters above sea level, the latter being the elevation of its highest hill, Mohokos. akovec has an elevation of between 160 and 165 meters above sea level. There are occasi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=435781 ... Read more

Product Description

Culture and Customs of Croatia offers an expert insider's look at a Balkan nation which, for the first time since the 12th century, is free to draw on its own traditions to determine its political, philosophical, and cultural identity.

Culture and Customs of Croatia provides a comprehensive overview of Croatian art and culture with an emphasis on the historical factors contributing to contemporary Croatian life. An in-depth exploration of the country's past lays the groundwork for a discussion of a number of current issues, including progress towards EU membership, the expanding role of the Catholic Church, preservation of the country's World Heritage Sites, the growing popularity of the nation's Adriatic coastline as a beach vacation destination, and the complex, still reverberating legacy of the former Yugoslavia.

Product Description

Following the cessation of hostilities in Croatia, the task begins of assessing the damage caused and the remedial work needed. After several visits to the country on behalf of UNIDO, Mervyn Richardson has compiled a dossier detailing the effects of warfare on the environment. He discusses in detail the destruction of the Croation chemical industry and suggests ways in which new techniques will need to be used for remediation. Important aspects of the economy such as tourism and agriculture are also considered, and a contribution by Croatian scientists covers groundwater pollution caused by the destruction of an ammunition store. The book concludes with a look at the future possibilities for encouraging new industries to take the place of the old and gives a detailed breakdown of key Croatian agencies.
