Book excerpt: Škocjanske jame imajo bogato zgodovino. V tej knjigi je obravnavan le sorazmerno kratek čas med obema svetovnima vojnama, ko je Avstrija območje predala Italiji. Večji del Škocjanskih jam je bil raziskan pred letom 1914, zato je bil glavni cilj jamo razviti v turistično znamenitost. Jame so obiskovali že prej, a v 20. in 30. letih so si prizadevali urediti turistične poti skoz jame, z novimi mostovi in stezami, a tudi novim predorom do površja. Da bi vse to uskladili z italijanskimi zakoni, je povzročalo težave, zato so z odprtjem odlašali do leta 1923. Ob tem so jame še dodatno raziskali, premerili in o njih objavili sveže znanstvene razprave. Poročali so tudi o malo poznani usodni nesreči. Skozi celotno obdobje so posamezni vodniki, raziskovalci in upravniki napisali zelo človeško in razburljivo zgodbo. Kar knjigo dela še posebej pomembno, je izjemen prispevek italijanskih arhivov in zgodovinarjev.

Download or read book Cave Rocky Relief and its Speleogenetical Significance written by Tadej Slabe and published by Založba ZRC. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dejavniki, ki oblikujejo kraško podzemlje, zapuščajo sledi tudi na skalnem obodu kraških votlin. Nastajajo skalne oblike, ki jih povezujemo v skalni relief. Ta je pogosto pomembna sled oblikovanja in razvoja kraških votlin. V knjigi (Jamski skalni relief in njegov speleogenetski pomen) so strnjena proučevanja o nastanku in razvoju najbolj značilnih jamskih skalnih oblik. Predstavljen je skalni relief kot sled načina oblikovanja rovov v različnih hidroloških pogojih ter njegov speleogenetski pomen v razvojno raznovrstnih jamah. Delo tudi na novo ovrednoti speleogenetski pomen skalnega reliefa v izbranih predelih slovenskega krasa. Celotno besedilo je objavljeno v angleškem jeziku, na koncu knjige je dodan obsežen slovenski povzetek.

Download or read book Kras written by Andrej Kranjc and published by Založba ZRC. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prva monografija moderne dobe o »klasičnem« slovenskem krasu, o pokrajini kras. Knjigo je napisala skupina slovenskih strokovnjakov, ki se vsak v okviru svoje stroke ukvarjajo s Krasom. Besedilo v angleškem jeziku je pisano strokovno, vendar tudi dovolj poljudno, tako da je razumljivo vsakomur. V knjigi so poudarjene naravoslovne značilnosti, predvsem tiste, ki so za kras bistvenega pomena – kamen in voda – (to je geološke, hidrološke, morfološke in speleološke značilnosti) in povezanost človeka s krasom (etnologija, tradicionalna arhitektura). Delo je ilustrirano z več kot 200 ilustracijami, kartami, preglednicami, grafikoni in skicami.

This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V monografiji je natančno opisana kvantitativna metodologija za merjenje recentnih sub-mikronskih intenzitet temeljnih kemičnih kraških procesov (raztapljanja in odlaganja sige) in podaja rezultate 7-letnega merjenja kemičnih procesov v izbranih slovenskih vodnih jamah. Podrobneje so prikazani rezultati meritev iz nekaterih večjih slovenskih jam, kot so Križna jama, Postojnsko-Planinski jamski sistem in Škocjanske jame, kjer dobimo vpogled tudi v časovno in prostorsko dinamiko širjenja rovov na ravni posameznih jamskih sistemov. Meritve so edinstvene v slovenskem prostoru, pa tudi širše v okviru svetovnega krasoslovja, saj predstavljajo velik kvantitativni premik v okviru kraške geomorfologije.

Download or read book A Biographical Bibliography Explorers Scientists Visitors In the World s Karst 852 BC to the Present written by Christine Ballinger and published by Založba ZRC. This book was released on with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To je zelo dolgočasna knjiga. Tako kot slovar vsebuje samo dejstva: dejstva, ki jih ni mogoče najti drugje. Ljudje, ki so pomembni za preučevanje jam in krasa, so znani po tem, kaj so počeli, kaj so napisali in na koga so vplivali. Toda večkrat o njih poznamo zgolj ime. Morda o nekaterih vemo tudi kaj več, med njimi so kralji, romanopisci ali zdravniki. Nekateri, denimo Darwin ali Freud, so svet celo spremenili, toda večinoma so imeli le neizstopajoče normalno življenje, med katerim so tudi raziskovali, preučevali ali pisali o jamah. To so tista življenja, o katerih je težko najti kaj več. V knjigi je 4634 gesel, ki vsebujejo podatke iz rojstnih listov, osmrtnic, neobjavljenih pisem in omembe drugih ljudi. Šele ta širši pogled iz njih naredi prave ljudi. V nekaterih primerih je bilo njihovo zanimanje za jame del njihovega poklicnega življenja. V mnogih drugih le spodbuda in sprostitev v sicer napornem življenju. Toda v vsakem primeru so ista oseba in isti možgani uživali oboje; in oboje ju je osebnostno izoblikovalo. Razumemo jih lahko le s pomočjo tukaj zbranih bibliografskih virov.

Download or read book Croatia Istria written by Rudolf Abraham and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two Croatia experts, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt’s Croatia: Istria, with Rijeka and the Slovenian Adriatic remains the only full-length guide to this well-heeled, varied part of former Yugoslavia to include detailed background and practical information. Catering for all types of travellers (from outdoors enthusiasts to culture vultures, foodies to oenophiles) and budgets, the guide offers revised listings for accommodation, restaurants, and what to see and do. Istria crams remarkable diversity in a conveniently compact region: it takes under an hour to drive almost anywhere on the peninsula. The region boasts some of Croatia's most famous sites, including Pula's spectacular Roman amphitheatre, Porec’s UNESCO-listed Byzantine mosaics (every bit as good as Italy’s Ravenna and Istanbul’s Aya Sofya), picturesque medieval hill towns (such as Motovun and Draguc) and frescoes, and the Brijuni Islands National Park. In 2020, the transport hub and carnival city of Rijeka in the Kvarner region became Croatia’s first ever European Capital of Culture. Istria is renowned for its cuisine, particularly pasta, game, seafood and truffles (until recently Istria held the world record for the world’s largest truffle), and also produces fine wine and world-class olive oil. There is plenty of pampering on offer, too, with luxury and boutique hotels, excellent restaurants and inexpensive spa treatments. Istria makes a great base to explore nearby Capodistria on Slovenia’s coast, and karst limestone areas with beautiful and uncrowded coastal towns, castles, Lipizzaner horses and the UNESCO-listed Škocjan cave. New or expanded coverage in this edition include advice and information on the Vivapa Valley, Slovenian wines, recently opened hotels, travelling to Istria by rail, and vegetarian or vegan restaurants. With extensive sections on trekking, cycling (including the Parenzana long-distance cycling route) and diving, plus information on windsurfing, paragliding, wreck diving (including sites such as the Coriolanus and the Baron Gautsch) and sailing, and detail on wildlife (30 species of orchid grow on Cape Kemenjak alone), numerous festivals (including celebrations of film, fish, truffles and prosciutto), music, travelling with children and ancient history, this Bradt guide provides everything you need to plan and enjoy a visit.
