Librazhdi Prefecture at 1:110, 000 in a series of handy size, waterproof & tear-resistant, contoured & GPS compatible road maps from the Tirana-based publishers Vektor. Landscape is presented by altitude colouring & contours lines at 100m intervals, with spot heights & a few more names of topographic features than found on Vektor’s 200K road maps of the country.

Railway lines are included & local airports are marked.

General map with plans of Tripoli & Benghazi, an enlargement for the environs of the capital, & an administrative map of the country. The map does not cover the whole of Libya, but only the coastal area & the western part of the country, extending south to just beyond 26º (i.e. most of Marzuk & Al Kufrah provinces are not included). The country’s topography is very attractively presented by contours with relief shading & spot heights, indicating wadis, saline mashes & intermittent salt lakes, wells & oasis, sand & stony deserts, lava-fields, tree savannas & grasslands. Six different types of roads plus tracks are shown with petrol stations, service stations, intermediate driving distances, & road numbers on main roads. Also marked are border crossings, airports & airfields, shipping lines & ports, & railways, but the map provides no details of the country’s oil industry & has relatively less tourist information than on other maps. Longitude & latitude lines are drawn at 2º intervals & the multilingual legend

Libya (The History Of Gaddafi`s Pariah State)

When the oil-rich Kingdom of Libya descended into corruption and irresolution, a young Libyan army officer named Muammar Gaddafi seized power in a brilliant coup on 1 September 1969. Under his rule Libya became a pariah state, harbouring terrorists from nearly every dissident group in the world and accumulating an enormous arsenal of lethal weaponry. Gaddafi was autocratic and cruel, and his people finally rose up against him in February 2011. But how did he survive for so long? In this book, John Oakes traces Libya`s colourful history and details the events which shaped Gaddafi`s personality, the influences which moulded his career, the security apparatus which kept him in power and the human rights violations he committed. It is a story of Roman legions, Barbary pirates, slave
traders, camel caravans and Ottoman Beys; and of Italian colonists, Bedouin tribes, Texan oil barons, the Lockerbie disaster and mass murder in the Abu Salim jail. Foremost, it is the story of the human cost of freeing Libya from Gaddafi.
