{"product_id":"historical-dictionary-of-bosnia-and-ante-cuvalo-9780810850842","title":"Historical Dictionary of Bosnia and Herzegovina","description":"Diversity has always been at the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina's character; even its dual name and physical geography display a particular heterogeneity. The medieval Bosnian state never enjoyed lasting political and ideological unity as its feudal, regional, and religious rifts pulled at the country's seams. Furthermore, because of its location and by a quirk of history, three major world religious and cultural traditions (Catholicism, Islam, and Orthodoxy) became cohabitants in this small Balkan country. Recently, the rebirth of its statehood has been exceptionally bloody and its diversity has been shaken. Even eleven years after the guns were silenced, the country is still under the \"benevolent\" protection of the international community, whose officials are keeping the state-building process in perpetual suspense, with no final result in sight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second edition of the \u003ci\u003eHistorical Dictionary of Bosnia and Herzegovina\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the uncertain situation Bosnia and Herzegovina faces, while providing essential background information. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and more than 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on individual topics spanning Bosnia and Herzegovina's political, economic, religious, and social system along with short biographies on important figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ante Cuvalo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810850842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810850842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarecrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.33w x 1.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2008 pg. 130","brand":"Ante Cuvalo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065164804351,"sku":"9780810850842","price":191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ede036d-7e4b-413a-889a-b3651847644d.jpg?v=1768673417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-bosnia-and-ante-cuvalo-9780810850842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
