A Psychoanalyst on His Own Couch: A Biography of Vamık Volkan and His Psychoanalytic and Psychopolitical Concepts
Born to Turkish parents in Cyprus, Vamık Volkan moved to the US as a young man over half a century ago, where his career flourished in ways few could have foreseen. He is the founder of many worthwhile organisations and initiatives and his research and work have been applied into real-world international relations. Therefore, any book about Vamık Volkan is also a professional guide; the life of a professor and his real-life stories, a means towards understanding humanity, societies, memories, and modes of psychological treatment. Within, are many influential and widely accepted concepts that Dr. Volkan introduced to the wider world. This collaborative biography is full of fascinating insight into a modest man whose work took him to some of the most combative and volatile parts of the world, where his interventions had positive, real-world effects for us all. Professionals working within his field and also those outside will find it full of inspiration and innovation – a riveting read for anyone with an interest in international relations, which should be us all in these uncertain times.
The Provincial and The Postcolonial in Cultural Texts from Late Modern Turkey
This book explores Turkey’s complicated relationship to modernity and its status within the new global order by tracing the ambivalent ways in which taşra (the provinces) is constituted in contemporary Turkish cinema and literature. Connoting much more than its immediate spatial meaning as those places outside of the center(s), taşra is a way of naming what modernity decries as spatial peripherality, temporal belatedness, and cultural backwardness. It has functioned historically as a psychosocial repository for what Turkish modernity degrades and disavows, enabling a mapping of the predicaments and contradictions of Turkish modernization and national identity-constitution. Organized around taşra as its central analytic and informed by postcolonial, psychoanalytical, and critical theory, the book examines the extent to which dominant codings of taşra are affirmed and/or complicated in cinematic and literary narratives by award-winning filmmakers Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Fatih Akın and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk.
Matematik ve Gerçek
Ali Nesin, elinizdeki Matematik ve Gerçek derlemesini, "Ben matematikten anlamam ama yine de matematik nedir ne değildir öğrenmek istiyorum," diyenler için hazırladığını söylüyor. "Bu kitapta, matematikle gerçek, soyutla somut, teoriyle pratik, doğruyla kanıtlanabilirlîk arasındaki ilişkiyi, sonsuzluk kavramının getirdiği sorunları, var olmanın anlamını ve matematiğin sınırlarını irdeleyen, dolayısıyla kaçınılmaz olarak felsefi tadı olan matematiksel yazıları bulacaksınız. Yazıların düzeyi genellikle (her zaman değil ama) sayfa sayısıyla birlikte artacak ve kitap giderek matematikselleşecektir. Okur, ilk okuyuşta anlayamadığı yazıları daha sonra geri dönmek üzere atlayabilir. Matematiksel düzeyi fazla yükseltmemek için konunun hakettiği derinliğe inmedim. Matematiksel olarak daha derin ve daha doyurucu yazıları, 'Kümeler Kuramı' ve 'Sayıların İnşası' adlı kitaplarımda bulabilirsiniz." Ali Nesin'in bu tematik derlemesinde yukarıda belirttiği çerçeveye uygun, diğer kitaplarına dağılmış haldeki yazılarını topluca bulabileceksiniz.
The Battle of Kokkina
The riveting true story of the 13 year battle for the village of Kokkina in Northern Cyprus. The first book in English to detail this story.

Turkish nationalism in the Young Turk era
Amongst the products of the French Revolution, the idea of nation exerted the deepest influence on the East. In the Ottoman Empire, the concept bore a fresh idea of an Ottoman nation even though the term Ottoman in itself comprised many ethnic groups. Alongside Ottoman nationalism, Turkish nationalism arose in the latter half of the nineteenth century; it became predominant in the Young Turk era. Organizers of Turkish nationalism were scattered not only in the Ottoman Empire but also in Russia. This book analyzes such complicated aspects of the development of nationalism in the Young Turk era with careful attention to both specific and general problems. The author has chosen four leading nationalist periodicals as a clue for settling the issue. He has thereby demonstrated that these periodicals are very useful for history and political science studies as well as for that of literature. In addition, a table of contents of the periodicals dealt with in the text has been added as an appendix, which should be of considerable benefit to concerned scholars and students.

The Oxford Illustrated History of the First World War
The First World War, now a century ago, still shapes the world in which we live, and its legacy lives on, in poetry, in prose, in collective memory and political culture. By the time the war ended in 1918, millions lay dead. Three major empires lay shattered by defeat, those of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans. A fourth, Russia, was in the throes of a revolution that helped define the rest of the twentieth century. The Oxford History of the First World War brings together in one volume many of the most distinguished historians of the conflict, in an account that matches the scale of the events. From its causes to its consequences, from the Western Front to the Eastern, from the str...
