        READ TO BREATHE

        WHY READ BOOKS IN THE DIGITAL ERA?

        by MIHA KOVAČ

        All book readers that have doubts about whether book reading still makes sense and anyone professionally involved with struggling readers (i.e., teachers and librarians); also young parents who need motivation to regularly read books to their children. Pick up a Book to Pick Yourself Up is a mass market book · Although based on the latest scholarly research, the author discusses the meaning of book reading in a journalistic narrative enhanced with graphics in a way that makes the book comprehensible to non-specialists. · The book’s main point is that in an abundance of digital recreational and informational content in text, audio and video format, readily available to any smartphone user, the nature and perception of book reading has changed as well. · The author shows that besides enjoying the content, book readers benefit from a set of “positive externalities” of long-form reading that are not present when using screen media. · These positive side effects represent an important counterweight to some of the negative effects of social media and as such a allow more balanced and productive use of screen content, thus making the book an important member of the quickly growing media family. The author discusses these positive effects of book reading in ten short illustrated chapters.   156 pages / 200 photos, illustrations and tables / format 14 x 20 cm

        THE PARTISANS

        by JOŽE PIRJEVEC

        This long-awaited book is the first to contain a comprehensive account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which occupiers and Quislings tried to erase from the map of Europe in 1941. The book contains a considerable amount of information obtained by the author through research in archives in London, Washington, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki and Moscow which to date has remained unknown since some parts of the archives were only opened recently. This extensive monograph is without a doubt Dr. Pirjevec’s life’s work. It is the first comprehensive and synthetic account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the whole of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from the attack on and disintegration of Yugoslavia in April 1941 up until the end of the war. The author describes the strained relations within the movement, as well as the relations between the Partisans and other military formations (White Guards, Chetniks, Ustashe, Ballists, etc.) and between the Partisans and allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The book demonstrates that there would have been no national liberation movement without the Communists and their utopian belief that they would create a better future, without their fanaticism, organization and discipline. Above all, the Yugoslav Partisan movement contributed significantly to the defeat of the Third Reich and its satellites and brought victory to the Yugoslav nations. Serbs, Montenegrins and Croats were saved from the shame of collaborationism, and Slovenes and Macedonians were also recognized as European nations with mapped out borders and statehood.

        RUNNING ON THE SPOT

        by RENATA SALECL

        RUNNING ON THE SPOT (Tek na mestu) is a collection of reflections on the problems of modern society and the individual within it. The texts reflect changes in the fields of ethics, medicine, parenthood, genetics, consumerism and poverty. She talks about the anxieties faced by people on a daily basis and the painful choices that do not guarantee a less difficult future. In spite of the constant talk about the need for progress, it seems that societies are more or less running on the spot. Individuals, meanwhile, are both at work and in their private lives constantly under pressure to run better and faster than others.  They work ever more so that they can consume more and sooner or later begin to consume themselves. This appears as workaholism, dependence on drugs or alcohol, and in the new symptoms such as anorexia, bulimia and other forms of self-harm.
