City map Zurich and Road map Northern Switzerland.

Switzerland is a lovely country to visit, albeit rather expensive, and is conveniently located in the heart of western Europe. Zurich, as a city, is not only commercially important but is a lovely city to visit and enjoy. The Old Town is a walking paradise, with stores intermingled with squares and churches, and the hilly nature of the city brings photographic images to the forefront with each turn of a corner. ITMB publishes a separate map of Geneva on one side and all of Switzerland on the other side.

For this title, we have expanded the scale and filled the reverse side with and easy-to-use regional map of Northwestern Switzerland, combining the city with its hinterland. Being a rather small country, this results in a map covering most of the country, from Lausanne in the southwest and Basle on the north to Chur on the east and Montreux in the south, so the far east and south of the country are excluded.

How much Eastern European history do you know?

The story of Eastern Europe is one of successes and failures, competing interests, and the rise and fall of states and empires. The ancient Greek and Roman empires knew the importance of Eastern Europe for trade and settlement. Later, during the Migration Period, also known as the "Barbarian Invasions," Eastern Europe became the stomping grounds for many people groups. The Visigoths, Huns, Slavs, and central Asian Turkic tribes like the Avars and Khazars all made their way into Eastern Europe.

With so many people moving in, the first states started to rise. Some of them would break apart as soon as they started, while others would form full-fledged empires. The medieval period would see some of the greatest empires of European history, like Kievan Rus, the Bulgarian Empire, Serbia, and the German Crusader states. By the early modern period, these great states would be replaced by Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire.

In the coming centuries, the rise of Russia, Austria, and Prussia would spell doom for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottomans would keep pressing into Eastern Europe. The 19th century would lay the foundations for the outbreak of World War I, which would itself lead to World War II. In the aftermath, Eastern Europe became part of the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the USSR until the fall of communism nearly five decades later. This book extends past contemporary histories of Eastern Europe, which usually end at the fall of the Berlin Wall, to cover more recent events, including the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo and the 2014 Crimean crisis.

In this book, you will learn about:

The Greek and Roman influence in Eastern Europe
The Migration Period, aka the "Barbarian Invasions"
Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire
The Mongol invasions
Christian Europe vs. the Ottoman Empire
The fall of Constantinople
The rise of Russia and its famous rulers, like Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great
The path to World War I and World War II
The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe
The Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism
The conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo
The 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea

En perle av en bok fra en av Sveriges aller fineste forfattere!

kke noe sted i Sverige har så rik fauna av sommerfugler som Stockholms skjærgård. Forfatter og entomolog Fredrik Sjöberg har gjennom arbeidet med denne essaysamlingen funnet alle sammen. "Mine studier har beregenet at det totalt finnes 78 ulike dagsommerfugler i Stockholms skjærgård. Rikdom kan måles på mange vis. Denne er en av de aller beste", sier Sjöberg selv. Selv om boka skildrer alle sommerfuglene som finnes i skjærgården, er den ikke en feltguide, men en samling personlige fortellinger som lokker, forundrer og er full av kunnskap. Boken er dessuten rikt illustrert med akvareller fra tidlig 1800-tallet.

«Ingen mann er en øy handler om gjenoppbyggingen av Utøya. Jørgen Watne Frydnes ble ansatt for å lede dette arbeidet. (...) AUF ville 'ta Utøya tilbake' het det allerede i 2011. (...) Det de unge som overlevde massakren ikke tenkte på, var hvordan planene virket på foreldrene som satt igjen uten barn. (...) Frydnes skriver om disse konfliktene på en god og varm måte. (...) Boken blir dermed en interessant studie i vår kollektive sorgprosess.»
Gunnar Kagge, Aftenposten
Etter angrepet på Utøya 22. juli 2011 var AUF fast bestemt på «å ta øya tilbake». Det skulle vise seg å bli en komplisert prosess. De fysiske og psykiske skadene var enorme, og protestene var ofte voldsomme.

Etter angrepet på Utøya 22. juli 2011 var AUF fast bestemt på «å ta øya tilbake». Det skulle vise seg å bli en komplisert prosess. De fysiske og psykiske skadene var enorme, og protestene var ofte voldsomme. Denne umulige oppgaven ble i all hovedsak lagt på en persons skuldre, Jørgen Watne Frydnes.

Ingen mann er en øy gir oss et unikt innblikk i hvordan den konfliktfylte prosessen har vært for tusenvis av etterlatte, pårørende og overlevende, med en liten øy i Tyrifjorden i sentrum. I dag er Utøya, med daglig leder Jørgen Watne Frydnes i spissen, i toppsjiktet av historieformidlingssteder i verden. Det nye Hegnehuset, som omkranser det gamle Kafebygget der 13 mennesker ble drept, er flere ganger kåret til et av verdens viktigste nye bygg.

I Ingen mann er en øy blir leseren tatt med på ettertenksomme gåturer rundt Utøya gjennom fire årstider, der det vakre og det grusomme går hånd i hånd, og der fortiden avdekkes lag for lag. Hvordan har det vært mulig å skape noe meningsfylt ut av det meningsløse?
