Elinizdeki eser, birkaç açıdan tarihçilerin alışkanlıklarını bozuyor. Bir tarih anlatısı bugüne ulaşabilmeli bugünü dönüştürebilmelidir. Fakat bu denli bir etki gücü, sosyo-politik saiklerle tarihin kötüye kullanıldığı örneklerin dışında fazla görülmez. Tarihin, pek çoklarının düşündüğünün ve inanmak istediğinin tersine, bugünü belirleyen değişkenlerden “yalnızca biri” olması, tarih metinlerinin sözü edilen durumunu açıklayabilir. Şu an elinizde tuttuğunuz eser, işte bu noktada farklılaşıyor. O, geçmişte belirlenmiş bir dönemdeki bir bilinmezden yola çıkmıyor. Şaşırtıcı bir cesaretle, bugünden yola çıkıyor. Üste...
In 1911 Italy, an aspiring Great Power, attacked Ottoman Libya. Italian diplomacy had long anticipated this attack, but Italy's military was ill-prepared for it. The Ottoman Empire, distracted by internal dissension and by the expansionist designs of its Balkan neighbours, was woefully unready. This study examines how the belligerents dealt with the military and diplomatic stalemates into which the Libyan War degenerated, stalemates which were ended only by the outbreak of the First Balkan War in 1912, when the Ottomans were obliged to make peace with Italy to face more dangerous enemies nearer home. The Italo-Turkish War was the first armed clash between the lesser Great Powers immediately before 1914, leading inexorably to the deterioration of the Balkan situation and to Sarajevo. This is the first study based on the archives of the Ottoman Foreign Ministry for the period, as well as on better-known Italian sources.
This identification and field guide includes over 750 photographs of butterflies taken in their natural habitats and the species accounts of all species in Turkey, including information about recently described Agrodiaetus blues.
"A vibrant artistic milieu emerged in the late-nineteenth century Istanbul that was extremely heterogeneous, including Ottoman, Ottoman-Armenian, French, Italian, British, Polish and Ottoman-Greek artists. Roberts analyzes the ways artistic output intersected with the broader political agenda of a modernizing Ottoman state. She draws on extensive original research, bringing together sources in Turkey, England, France, Italy, Armenia, Poland and Denmark. Five chapters each address a particular issue related to transcultural exchange across the east-west divide that is focused on a particular case study of art, artistic patronage, and art exhibitions in nineteenth-century Istanbul"--Provided by publisher.
In the project, diverse educational programs are implemented for different target groups, including teachers, students, experts and decision makers responsible for the management of protected areas. An educational program was designed for students, including wall painting and drama activities with the artists, poetry and drawing competitions among schools, and a kite festival with the artists. Additionally, nature corners displaying the features of steppes were established in certain schools. As part of the education and awareness-raising program, an educational kit was prepared for teachers and students. This kit is a source document for increasing the knowledge, interest and awareness of children about the steppe ecosystems of ?anl?urfa. With this reference kit, you will be able to explore the diversity and importance of steppes from different perspectives such as history, biology, geography, sustainability, and climate change.
