The Siege of Sarajevo remains the longest siege in modern European
history, lasting three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad
and over a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. Reporting the
Siege of Sarajevo provides the first detailed account of the
reporting of this siege and the role that journalists played in
highlighting both military and non-military aspects of it. The book
draws on detailed primary and secondary material in English and
Bosnian, as well as extensive interviews with international
correspondents who covered events in Sarajevo from within siege
lines. It also includes hitherto unpublished images taken by the
co-author and award-winning photojournalist, Paul Lowe. Together
Morrison and Lowe document a relatively short but crucial period in
both the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the city of Sarajevo
and the profession of journalism. The book provides crucial
observations and insights into an under-researched aspect of a
critical period in Europe's recent history.

America's southernmost state is a place of great diversity and
energy. The United States' fourth largest economy and home to more
than 20 million people, Florida also hosts more than 100 million
visitors every year, most of whom arrive to enjoy the beaches, warm
weather and entertainment of 'The Sunshine State'. Images of
tanning tourists, retired seniors and Mickey Mouse give an
incomplete picture of Florida. The state is also home to the
Everglades, a vast area of sub-tropical wetlands and swamps filled
with alligators and flamingos; Miami's Cuban culture and cuisine;
the international race course at Daytona Beach; the Kennedy Space
Center, which has been launching NASA space shuttles since 1964;
and the famous Florida Keys, a coral archipelago stretching out
into the Gulf of Mexico. Presented in a handy, pocket-sized
landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each
photo, Florida is a stunning collection of images bringing to life
the vitality of this sunny American state.
