In late 1995 & early 1996, cartoonist/reporter Joe Sacco travelled four times to Gorazde, a UN-designated safe area during the Bosnian War, which had teetered on the brink of obliteration for three & a half years. Still surrounded by Bosnian Serb forces, the mainly Muslim people of Gorazde had endured heavy attacks & severe privation to hang on to their town while the rest of Eastern Bosnia was brutally `cleansed` of its non-Serb population. But as much as Safe Area Gorazde is an account of a terrible siege, it presents a snapshot of people who were slowly letting themselves believe that a war was ending & that they had survived. Since it was first published in 2000, Safe Area Gorazde has been recognized as one of the absolute classics of graphic non-fiction. We are delighted to publish it in the UK for the first time, to stand beside Joe Sacco`s other books on the Cape list
- Palestine, The Fixer & Notes from a Defeatist.

A Recommendation on Safe Practice of Dangerous Goods in Ports & Harbours was first circulated by the Organization in November 1973. The subsequent development of new techniques in shore & ship operations, as well as the desirability of having more comprehensive recommendations which included dangerous goods in packaged form, liquid & solid dangerous substances & liquefied gas carried in bulk, made it necessary to revise & update the Recommendation. The Recommendations make a distinction between keeping & storage. Dangerous cargoes temporarily in the port area as part of the transport chain are not considered as being stored as their presence is solely concerned with awaiting loading onto & further onward movement by another mode of transport. Because this is an operation covered by the Recommendations, the term ”keeping” is included in the overall definition of handling. Storage, which involves the holding of substances for an indeterminate period not directly involved with the transportation process, is considered to be outside the scope of these Recommendations & has been excluded from the definitions. Regulatory authorities may wish to regulate the storage of such substances but that would be achieved by other regulations unconnected with the transportation process. For the purpose of these Recommendations the term ”cargo interests” refers to those organizations which can be involved with the dangerous cargoes even before such cargoes reach the port area & a ship, & also

Includes:: consignors (shippers), packers, those concerned with documentation, consolidators & forwarding agents. Experience has shown that this group has a crucial role to play in the safe transport of dangerous cargoes & that the Recommendations should also apply to them. It is important to draw to the attention of the users of these Recommendations that the term `dangerous cargo` comprises oils, noxious liquid chemicals & gases carried in bulk, solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards, solid bulk materials hazardous only in bulk, harmful substances in packaged form (covered by Annex III of MARPOL 73/78) as well as dangerous goods in packaged form (covered by the IMDG Code).
