This new, revised, updated edition is bigger and nearly a third of the graphic material consists of new, more lifeli-ke photos, that make the visual composition of Slovakia even more impressive. Gregor's introductory comments, his poetic entrees into the particular thematic chapters, expanded captions as well as the clean and artful graphic layout emphasize the value of the photographic view and help realise the author's intention to introduce Slovakia, extending from the High Tatras to the Danube, as a territo-ry and a nation that deserves much wider attention outside Central Europe.
