This book is the first to give a comprehensive and detailed overview of the complete geography of Albania in English. It highlights the most important and manifold potentials of nature, society and economy of Albania as well as development problems during different time periods. One focus lies on Albania's perspectives and challenges for the future.Beside natural aspects also topics such as migration, poverty, social situation, economy, urban development, regional disparities among others are discussed.This book appeals to academics and researchers of geography, regional development and related disciplines as well as teachers and students of geography, geology, natural sciences, social sciences, economics. The book is also attractive for media representatives, tourists and other interested individuals travelling to Albania.

lt;p>Both authors are the best representatives of the country in the Geography of Albania and have over 30 years of experience in this field, both in the process of teaching and research. They complement each other quite well between the treatment of nature (Prof. Qiriazi) and the human aspects (Prof. Doka) of Albania. On this basis they have managed to publish many books, maps, atlases and scientific articles at home and abroad. Especially after 1990 with the opening of Albania, the authors had the opportunity through their long qualification in Western countries (especially in Germany and France) to benefit from many of the teaching and scientific methods, then applying them in terms of Geography of Albania. The publication in question by Springer of Geography of Albania is a culminating achievement for the authors, which being very current and the first of its kind in English, we believe will arouse interest for many scholars, students, tourists and many others who want study it and know more about Albania.
