The Kahoot competitions we organize every month to raise awareness among young people about human rights violations worldwide and in Turkey have reached over 10,000 views on YouTube globally. The impact of these competitions on young people and the feedback we receive have been a great source of motivation for us. Among the feedback we receive from young people, there are expressions like "thank you for presenting to us the incidents that happen without discrimination in a language that young people can understand and enjoy, which is Kahoot competitions." These feedbacks have been a great source of satisfaction and guidance for us. We are delighted to observe that young people gain significa...
The campaigns fought by the Ottomans against the British in Palestine are often neglected in accounts of the Great War, yet they are fascinating from the point of view of military history and critically important because of their impact upon the modern Middle East. Edward Erickson's authoritative and absorbing account of the four-year struggle for control of Palestine between 1914 and 1918 of the battles fought for Suez, Sinai, Gaza, Jordan and Syria opens up this little-understood aspect of the global conflict and it does so in a strikingly original way, by covering the fighting from the Ottoman perspective. Using Turkish official histories and military archives, he recounts the entire course of the campaigns, from the initial attack by German-led Ottoman forces on Sinai and the Suez Canal, the struggle for Gaza and the outbreak of the Arab Revolt to the British offensives, the battle for Jerusalem, the Ottoman defeat at Megiddo and the rapid British advance which led to the capture of Damascus and Aleppo in 1918.
Türk-İslam kültür ve düşünce tarihinin önemli düşünürlerinden biri de kuşkusuz 20. yüzyılda yaşamış olan Cemil Meriç’tir (1916-1987). Meriç, gerek İslam medeniyeti gerekse Batı modernitesi gerekse de Türk modernitesi üzerine yaptığı derinlemesine ve karşılaştırmalı analizlerle, geniş ufuklu bir düşünce insanı olarak tarihteki yerini almıştır. Onun bu konularda tarihi ve sosyolojik bir perspektiften yapmış olduğu ufuk açıcı çözümlemeler günümüz dünyasına da ışık tutacak niteliktedir. Bu eserde, hakikat arayıcısı bir sosyal biyografinin düşünsel serüveni ve onun ulaştığı sonuçlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Başta onun evrensel boyuttaki bakış açısı olmak üzere, öncelikle Türk-İslam dünyasının tarihi ve güncel problemleri, Batı uygarlığının yapısı ve Türk modernleşmesine ilişkin görüşleri üzerinde durulmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuçta bu çalışmayla, Meriç’in düşünce dünyası, hem genel olarak sosyal bilim düşününe hem de Türk okuruna tanıtılmasına/kazandırılmasına bir katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamıştır.

Denise Gill analyzes how the melancholies intentionally cultivated by Turkish classical musicians, typically dismissed as the remnants of Ottoman nostalgia, emerge as reparative, pleasurable, and spiritually redeeming. Melancholic Modalities intervenes in debates about music and affect, and offers new, innovative methodologies of rhizomatic analysis and bi-aurality for researchers.
In 1999, two earthquakes occurred in the Istanbul-Marmara region of Turkey and the Athens-Corinth region of Greece, and an increased risk of further events caused great concern among the earth science community. This book presents and discusses the latest results from studies of the Izmit-Düzce and Athens earthquakes and assesses the data that are available and relevant to the geology, seismology, tectonics, geodesy and other fields related to earthquake studies and to evaluate earthquake hazard potential.

This book is about domestic politics following the Revolution of 1908 in Turkey. Although seemingly straightforward in its telling of events from the opening of the Parliament in alte 1908 to the re-capture of constitutional government in early 1913, this book is built upon a premise that is fundamentally different from previous studies. Whereas previous studies deal with the period as if conditions were normalised immediately after the Revolution of 1908, this book takes the view that the period under scrutiny is a relentless struggle over the political future of Turkey. The Revolution of 1908 was no mere "restoration" of the Constitution of 1876. It tried to bring about a fundamental chang...
