"The New Yorker" about Novak Djokovic

"It’s important to be humble, and important to be very open-minded toward all the people in the world. It doesn’t matter who it is, really, or how much amount of success that person has made, because you don’t measure the person through the success the person has made, but through his behavior."

Др Едвард В. Рајан – лекар спасилац Београда

Увод

Подвизи и легендарна достигнућа америчког лекара и хирурга пуковника др Едварда Рајана, шефа мисије америчког Црвеног крста (American Red Cross) у Србији током Првог светског рата, готово да су остали непознати и заборављени.

Његов чудесни живот представља грађу за узбудљив авантуристички роман или за сценарио каквог холивудског спектакла. „Рајан је био дивљи борбени Ирац који је без прекида скакао у ватру... Апсолутно неустрашив, коцкајући се смрћу, урадио је велики посао високо држећи у руци блиставу бакљу америчког доброчинства“, записао је у својим мемоарима Џон Гејд, први амбасадор САД у балтичким земљама, сликајући његов портрет.

Serbian American Contributions in Amador County, California, since the Gold Rush
Milina Jovanović offers a unique compilation of individual and family immigration stories that include enormous contributions to the development of California and significant community involvement. In this version of people’s history she chronicles how Serbian Americans have strengthened community, region, state, and country through the endeavors and struggles of 150 years. This book also focuses on women’s contributions that are too often overlooked. Ms. Jovanović’s study reveals that Jackson not only remains an original and symbolic home to Serbian Americans and Serbian Orthodox religion, but also an oasis where the Serbian community has preserved its positive reputation and social influence.
