According to the authors the book is based on the Croatian textbook version, which has been thoroughly revised and adapted for a broader readership. In the book readers will learn how the country and its cultural landscape were shaped during each of the nine periods identified in the development of our historical geography.
According to geographer Peter Jordan the book offers an excellent introduction to the historical formation of Croatia’s culture and its landscapes, particularly significant on account of our vibrant history. Jordan, a retired professor of the Institute for Urban and Regional Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, penned the foreword to this edition. (Hina)
