This book focuses on media and zeroes in some critical and oppositional aspects of internet usage within Turkey. It does not radically challenge some works on Turkey’s recent grand narrative but presents empirical and minor accounts to this. However, in elaborating the long history of relatively resilient and multilayered oppositional digital media networks in Turkey, this book insists that an idea of authoritarian turn may be misleading as the internet communications are exposed to repressive measures and surveillance tactics from the very beginning of the country’s recent past. While discussing from citizen journalism practices to political trolls and from Gezi Park protests to disinformation campaigns, this book pays tribute to digital activists and points out that mobilizing through digital networks can present glimmers of hope in challenging authoritarian regimes.

- İnsanoğlu yaratılış gereği en şerefli varlıktır. Sahip olduğu kıymet, değer, onur ve haysiyet onun sahip olduğu sorumluluğunun bir göstergesidir. Her ne kadar yaratılış gereği bütün insanlar eşit olsalar da bazen doğuştan bazen de hayatın içerisinde başlarına gelen bir takım arizî durumlar nedeniyle çeşitli imtihanlara maruz kalmaktadırlar. Bu imtihan sürecinin farkında olup bu durumu sağlıklı bir şekilde geçirmek de yine insan olmanın bir gereğidir. - Resûlullah (sas); çocuk, genç, yaşlı, hasta ve engelliler başta olmak üzere toplumun çeşitli fertlerine ne şekilde bir yaklaşım ve faaliyet içerisinde olunması gerektiğine dair örnek uygulamaları insanların dikkatine sunmuştur.

A decade after the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China established their formidable alliance in 1950, escalating public disagreements between them broke the international communist movement apart. In The Sino-Soviet Split, Lorenz Lüthi tells the story of this rupture, which became one of the defining events of the Cold War. Identifying the primary role of disputes over Marxist-Leninist ideology, Lüthi traces their devastating impact in sowing conflict between the two nations in the areas of economic development, party relations, and foreign policy. The source of this estrangement was Mao Zedong's ideological radicalization at a time when Soviet leaders, mainly Nikita Khrushchev...
The Book of Dede Korkut is a collection of twelve stories set in the heroic age of the Oghuz Turks, a nomadic tribe who had journeyed westwards through Central Asia from the ninth century onwards. The stories are peopled by characters as bizarre as they are unforgettable: Crazy Karchar, whose unpredictability requires an army of fleas to manage it; Kazan, who cheerfully pretends to necrophilia in order to escape from prison; the monster Goggle-eye; and the heroine Chichek, who shoots, races on horseback and wrestles her lover. Geoffrey Lewis's classic translation retains the odd and oddly appealing style of the stories, with their mixture of the colloquial, the poetic and the dignified, and magnificently conveys the way in which they bring to life a wild society and its inhabitants. This edition also includes an introduction, a map and explanatory notes.
