82. Geography And Ethnic Geography Of The Balkans To 1500 and their history without knowing the influence of the region s geography. course of lectures, the Balkan area includes Greece, bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania http://www.lib.msu.edu/sowards/balkan/lecture1.html

Twenty-Five Lectures on Modern Balkan History Lecture 1: Geography and ethnic geography of the Balkans to 1500 Preface Complete list of lectures Next lecture One can't understand the Balkans without understanding its ethnic groups, and one can't understand the ethnic groups and their history without knowing the influence of the region's geography. Even the geographic extent of the "Balkan" region is a matter of controversy. Many scholars, especially those writing in the Cold War era, have included only the Communist states and linked them with Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany, while omitting Greece and ignoring Turkey and the Ottoman era. Other historians exclude Hungary, Croatia and other Habsburg lands, because of their "central" European character, supposedly contrary to Balkan themes. But the presence of contradictory themes is itself characteristically Balkan. For the purposes of this course of lectures, the Balkan area includes Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Albania and Hungary. Most of this area was once under Ottoman Turkish rule; the rest under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The lectures will not deal with all of the Ottoman Empire, which extended into Asia and Africa, or other former Habsburg lands such as Czechoslovakia and parts of Poland. Physical geography Balkan geography revolves around three features: the area's situation as a peninsula, its mountains, and its rivers.

84. Institute Of Geography They reflect in two fundamental products published during this period the monograph geography of bulgaria in two volumes, and the National Geographical Atlas http://www.bas.bg/geogr/Geohisto.htm

History The Institute of Geography under the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences was founded in 1950. The 50 years of development within the system of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences it has gone through three periods of development, in accordance with the respective conditions and requirements of the social and economic situation in Bulgaria, making full use of its scientific potential. The period until 1970s was dominated by general scientific investigations in Bulgaria in the field of physical and economic geography. They reflect in two fundamental products published during this period: the monograph "Geography of Bulgaria" in two volumes, and the National Geographical Atlas. The third period started with the beginning of political and economic reforms in Bulgaria towards market economy (1989). It is marked by structural changes in the Institute, demanded by the new conditions, requiring integral geographical research. The new structure was designed to facilitate the integration of research efforts and to "open" the institute for collaboration with Bulgarian and foreign organizations working in the field of geography and regional development. The Institute of Geography is in charge of a large number of research projects involving the entire staff, incorporating 41 people, 22 of which are researchers. The research program of the Institute includes: research projects funded by the National Science Fund; surveys ordered by the Bulgarian Parliament, underlying its legislative work; ecological expert investigations and appraisals, including such funded by the PHARE program. The regular environmental observations and methodological guidelines, produced at the Institute of Geography, have resulted into the development and functioning of the first practical project of local ecological monitoring in this country, in the Assarel-Medet region, near Panagiurishte.

I checked an old dictionary and discovered that the name comes from a chain of mountains crossing Bulgaria from east to west. Prior to that, all I knew about Bulgaria was that an eerie music born in her mountains had recently become quite popular in the West. I could not have found the country on a map. I now know more about this country. What interests me most, given my focus on myth and ancient traditions, is that Orpheus is said to have come from Bulgaria's southern Rhodope Mountains (see below);
