The textbook ‘Bank Management and Financial Services’ provides an analysis of a wide range of financial services and institutions, whether they are among the giants or among smaller providers.
It is designed to assist readers at all levels, from students to experienced managers, i.e., bankers, in developing and refining management skills and confronting complex issues such as risk, regulation, technology, and competition, which bankers and managers of other financial services see as their greatest current and future challenges. The eighth edition discusses the major changes and events that are reshaping banking and financial services today, from the global market to rapid changes.

Maria Todorova does not describe the Balkan peoples as innocent victims nor does she evoke in them the emotion of false innocence. She does not spare them because the West has acted irresponsibly towards the Balkans, nor does she promote the dangerous idea that the Balkan peoples are not historical actors or that their fate is always in the hands of higher powers. As a scholar, Todorova was acutely aware of her position and her responsibility because, in writing ‘Imaginary Balkan’, she had the privilege of being both outside the subject of research and within it, and outside the process of gathering knowledge about the subject and within it. This book is not written in the name of some abstract Balkans; Maria Todorova speaks on behalf of that part of Balkan intellectuals who reflect on the problem of identity.

The publishing debut of the Croatian Association of Counties is a photo monograph that combines well-known but also interesting unknown information about the cultural, historical, or natural landmarks of all Croatian counties on more than 180 pages. More than five hundred photographs vividly ‘speak’ to how diverse Croatia is as a country, although small in size. The editorial team, composed of representatives from all twenty counties and the City of Zagreb, has stamped the pages of the photo monograph while working on the project for the past eight months. By browsing through this edition, you will discover how Lika got its name, which county was the first to introduce the Croatian language into official use, or why there are no weddings in Šibenik in May, thus getting to know and explore a true little treasure of exceptionally valuable pearls.
