"Sarajevo. Spring 1992. Each night, nationalist gangs erect barricades, splitting the diverse city into ethnic enclaves; each morning, the residents - whether Muslim, Croat or Serb - push the makeshift barriers aside. When violence finally spills over, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety with her daughter in England. Reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a handful of weeks, she stays behind while the city falls under siege. As the assault deepens and everything they love is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops, Zora and her friends are forced to rebuild themselves, over and over. Theirs is a breathtaking story of disintegration, resilience and hope."--Buchrückseite.

If you set out to find a place with a warmly temperate annual climate, a place with attitude, water views, natural beauty, metropolitan amenities, cozy neighborhoods and high culture-all within a two hour flight of 80% of the nation's population-that place would be Atlanta. Byron Jorjorian examines a cross section of Atlanta's landmarks, trademarks, and hidden delights using aerials, abstracts, close-ups, and his internationally acclaimed eye for the natural environment. His beautifully made photographs encapsulate the essence of Georgia's dynamic capital city today. We hope these pages inspire you to document your own slice of the "Big Peach".
