Glavni namen knjige je, da bi z njo postali dostopni izvirni opisi slovenskih jam in kraških značilnosti, kakor so jih doživeli in zabeležili popotniki po slovenskem Krasu v nekaj preteklih stoletjih. V knjigi so zbrani (in mnogi tudi v obliki faksimila objavljeni) opisi 89 popotnikov. Ti opisi, objavljeni večinoma v malo znanih publikacijah znanstvenih poročil, nekateri pa tudi na novo odkriti v rokopisnih zbirkah, niso zanimivi zgolj za zgodovino raziskovanja in poznavanja krasa, temveč so obenem bogat vir za slovensko zgodovino nasploh, in še posebej za lokalno zgodovino ter zgodovino posameznih panog tedanjega gospodarstva (npr. promet in komunikacije), pa tudi za etnografsko podobo Krasa v preteklih stoletjih.

The caves and dramatic limestone scenery of the Slovene karst have attracted visitors for centuries. The great stalagmites and roaring underground rivers were seen by relatively few people at that time but many of them did record their experiences in diaries as well as in print. These are used in the book, which is a result of a long-time collaboration between an English historian of speleology and a Slovene historian, to describe what they saw and what they thought about it, with contemporary illustrations by contemporary artists and photographers. Modern tourism derives from the tours led by Thomas Cook who first came to Postojnska jama in 1868. Music in that cave has a very long history for dancing or concerts. This is only one example of the relation between caves and people as a constant theme in this book. Altogether the 39 chapters describe, for example, the problems facing all travellers in pre-railway days and point out that one of the very first women to explore difficult caves did so at Škocjan. Also touched upon is Darwin’s interest in Slovene cave animals and a lot more. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Kraške jame, pa tudi posebna in zanimiva slovenska pokrajina – kras – že stoletja privlačijo obiskovalce. A vendar je bilo v preteklih stoletjih le peščici dano občudovati najrazličnejše kraške formacije in prisluhniti bučečim podzemeljskim rekam. Kar nekaj obiskovalcev je izkušnje in opažanja zapisalo v dnevnike in jih v tiskani obliki celo objavilo. V knjigi, ki je plod dolgoletnega angleško-slovenskega sodelovanja (svetovno znanega preučevalca zgodovine speleologije in slovenske zgodovinarke), so povzeti njihova opažanja in vtisi, dopolnjeni z ilustracijami oziroma s fotografijami iz tistega časa. Dobo modernega turizma je začel Thomas Cook, ki je prve organizirane skupine v Postojnsko jamo pripeljal leta 1868. V tej jami že vrsto let prirejajo glasbene oziroma plesne prireditve. To je le en vidik odnosa med človekom in jamo, ki ga obravnava knjiga. V 39 poglavjih spoznamo na primer težave, s katerimi so se spoprijemali obiskovalci jam pred uvedbo železnice, izvemo, da je ena izmed pionirk – raziskovalk jam – raziskovala prav Škocjanske jame, da so živali, ki jih najdemo v slovenskih jamah, pritegnile pozornost samega Darwina in še veliko več.

Glavnina knjige je faksimile rokopisa, ki ga je leta 1856 napisal angleški duhovnik John Oliver po svojem obisku Postojnske jame v letih 1837 in 1852. Kljub temu v knjigi piše le malo o svojih izkušnjah, saj je večji del knjige prevod Schnaffenrathovega vodnika Beschreibung der berühmten Grotte bei Adelsberg in Krain iz leta 1834 v angleščino. Več Oliverjevih pripomb je v posebnem dodatku, ki vsebuje nekaj njegovih osebnih opažanj, kot tudi opis obiska Vilenice. Celota je ilustrirana s slikami iz takratnih knjig, kot tudi z nekaterimi njegovimi izvirnimi slikami in risbami. Daljši uvod Trevorja Shawa, ki je odkril ta dragocen, vrsto let domnevno izgubljen rokopis, razkrije, kdo je bil avtor »J. O.« in obrazloži pomen prevedenega vodnika iz leta 1834, kot tudi njegov vpliv na kasnejše vodnike po Krasu.

Ljudje so mnogo predelov v jamah poimenovali po stvareh, na katere so jih posamezne jamske oblike spominjale: narava (živali, rastline, padavine…), zgradbe (cerkev, stolp…), osebe (svetniki, junaki…) ter mnogo drugega. Tako je bilo skozi stoletja v jamskem sistemu Postojnske jame poimenovanih njenih 370 posameznih delov. Osrednji del knjige Names from the past in Postojnska jama (Imena iz preteklosti v Postojnski jami) sestavlja seznam vseh imen (največkrat so ohranjena v treh ali več jezikih) skupaj z lokacijami in obdobjem, ko je bilo ime v uporabi. Avtor se je pri delu naslanjal na originalne vire (jamske načrte, vodnike, zapiske popotnikov, neobjavljene arhivske vire in upodobitve): več kot polovica je nastalih pred letom 1900. Avtor tudi pojasnjuje razloge, zakaj so se imena spreminjala, nekatera pa celo izginila.

For more than 1,300 years Slovenes had lived in Eastern Europe without having a separate Slovene state, but in December of 1990, they voted for independence, or, put more appropriately, for "disassociation" from Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Slovenia had to fight for its independence, which it did not fully achieve until 1995 after its bloody disintegration with Yugoslavia was over. Since independence, however, Slovenia has prospered; its economy is far ahead of other former communist states and in 2004 Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the European Union, the only republic of former Yugoslavia to do so. The A to Z of Slovenia covers the history of Slovenia and its struggle to gain independence from communism. This is done through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on some of the more significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.
