Subject: Now Available in North America - The Atlas of Slovenia by

For libraries and educational institutions desiring to acquire reference
books on the new nation of Slovenia-

The Atlas of Slovenia is now available in North America

This is the third re-printing of the Atlas of Slovenia by publisher
Mladinska Knjiga; it is extended and updated, with 218 pages of
detailed, easy-to-read, five-color maps (scale 1: 50,000) covering the
entire country.  This presentation is only possible because Slovenia is
such a small country; the same type of atlas of Great Britain would
require 1,320 pages of maps.  There are detailed descriptions of all the
regions of Slovenia, with identification of over 52,000 sites, streets,
farms, waterways, mountains and landscapes.  This level of detail means
that the reader can almost identify individual houses and certainly find
their grandparents' hamlet.  The volume also contains statistics on the
most significant features, 18 full-page aerial photographs, 44 plans of
Slovene towns and villages, with new development and street names, and a
special chapter on orienteering and navigation using state-of-the-art
equipment such as the Global Positioning System.  Concept, editing and
supervision by Vili Kos.  The atlas has 386 pages, 239 maps and 175
photographs.  Published by Mladinska Knjiga Publishing House of
Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1992.  It costs $120.  ISBN 86-11-13110-3.

This atlas joins the National Atlas of Slovenia by Rokus Publishing
House in the inventory of Books of Slovenia.
