The Art of the Turkish Tale
In casting them into English, Walker has paid particular attention to capturing the flavor and excitement of the Turkish telling, while not infringing "on the narrator's right to have the tale recreated as he had told it." ...The Beauty, power, and appeal of the present volume for the general reading public, however, depends largely upon Barbara Walker's own consummate skill as a teller and re-teller of tales and her commitment to conveying as much of the Turkish performance context as possible. ...In a gesture which is perhaps symptomatic of the reasons for this volume's success, [Barbara Walker] recognizes in the Acknowledgments section each and every tale-teller by name--all forty of them...
Architecture and Globalisation in the Persian Gulf Region
This is the first book ever to examine the architecture and urbanism of the Persian Gulf as a complete entity, dealing equally with conditions on the eastern Iranian shoreline as in Arabic countries on the western side. By inviting a range of architects and scholars to write about historical and contemporary influences on 14 cities along both Gulf coastlines, the book traces the changes in architecture and human settlement in relation to environmental factors and particularity of place.

Loose Fit City
Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up, within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi, Mumbai, Agra, Kathmandu, West Africa and London, Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times, with different intentions, into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened, top-down, centrally planned, factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture, defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon, so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric.
Ayrıldıkça Kavuşanlar
Burada Kur’ân ve Sünnet ölçülerine göre düzenlenmesi gereken örnek bir Müslüman aile hayatı ile, gündelik hayatımızı iç içe işlemeye gayret ettik. Aynı zamanda da, işine ağırlık verip, eşini ihmal edenlere; ya da eşine ağırlık verip, işini ihmal edenlere, “iş ve eş hayatı öyle değil, böyle olmalı” diyecek kadar, çok örnek vermeye çalıştık. Bu kitabı okuduktan sonra, “Böyle bir hayatı ne kendi ailemizde ve ne de çevremizde görmedik, duymadık, yaşamadık” diyerek, doğru ve haklı bir tespit yapan okuyucularımızı; “Günümüzden örnek aramayacak, biz yaşayıp örnek olmaya çalışacağız” diyecek bir hedefe davet ediyoruz.
