The
Rough Guide to Slovenia, First Edition
Tour Slovenia. The Rough Guide to Slovenia is the definitive
handbook to one of Europe's smallest, yet most beguiling nations.
The northernmost republic of the former Yugoslavia, straddles
central Europe and the Balkans, and is said to be the greenest
country on the continent. There's a wealth of things to see
and do. The guide covers the country in all the detail it deserves,
with as much attention to the capital Ljubljana's youthful culture
and Baroque and Hapsburg architecture as to the stunning cave
network at Postojna, the wilds of the Julian Alps and the charms
of the Istrian coastline. There are maps and plans throughout
and a full-colour introductory section listing the author's
favourite 'things not to miss'. The contexts section includes
informed background on Slovenian history, folklore, music and
wildlife.
National
and University Library, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1936-39, by Joze
Plecnik (Architecture in Detail S.)
The Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, where architect Plecnik spent
the latter part of his life, is the backdrop for some of his
most ambitious schemes. Of these, the most monumental is the
National and University Library, which ingeniously combines
topographical features and cultural symbolism. Typical Plecnik
features include the long colonnade in dark stone on either
side of the central staircase which leads to a reading room
that fills the entire width of one wing of the building. Contrasted
with this is the powerful, expressive street elevation which
only partly relates to activities inside the building. This
facade was designed to replace one of Ljubljana's most handsome
early Baroque palaces and is representative of Plecnik's most
eccentric mannerist style. The author explores the building
and its historical context, providing an account of the construction
of the library and of Plecnik's urban designs for the city of
Ljubljana, redeveloped in the interwar years. The photographs
of the library are complemented by further images of key Plecnik
works and drawings are provided by Slovenian architect Marko
Music, commissioned to design an annex to the library.

Insight Pocket Guide (Insight Pocket Guides)
Tour Slovenia. This pocket-sized book offers an expert's guide
to Slovenia, with 12 itineraries and excursions taking in the
country's highlights for visitors. It used to be one of Europe's
best-kept holiday secrets. For a while, political disruption
deterred all but the most determined visitors. Now, though,
Slovenia is no longer a secret. The country's popularity is
burgeoning; drawn by its lush valleys, cave-studded mountains,
thermal springs, an unspoilt coast, Triglav National Park and
Slovenia's surprisingly vibrant capital, Ljubljana. "The
Insight Pocket Guide to Slovenia" contains twelve attraction-packed
itineraries for you to explore the country, centred on four
regional bases. It also includes essays on history and culture,
as well as leisure-time suggestions and an information section
packed with essential addresses and numbers. It also includes
dozens of full-colour photographs and maps, including a pull-out
map that clearly shows all the itineraries.
