Mardin 2018
This book consists of photographs from Midyat and Mardin from the Southeastern region of Turkey. Mardin sits on the border with Syria and right in the historical grip of Northern Mesopotamia. Its history dates back to Bronze Age and its old city is of Seljuki and Artuqid origin from around 12th century. While the province is large with nearly 1000 kilometer square, it is lightly populated with around 220,000 people. The city is a mix of Turks, Kurds, Arabs and a few remaining Armenians. It is an astounding place dotted with other remarkable nearby locations such as the town of Midyat and the Orthodox monastery of Mor Hananyo. The photographs were all taken on September 2018 during a trip. An iPhone was used in capturing the images which were subsequently edited in Photoshop. Cover photo is from Midyat.

Social Media in Southeast Turkey
This book presents an ethnographic study of social media in Mardin, a medium-sized town located in the Kurdish region of Turkey. The town is inhabited mainly by Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds, and has been transformed in recent years by urbanisation, Elisabetta Costa uses her 15 months of ethnographic research to explain why public-facing social media is more conservative than offline life. Yet, at the same time, social media has opened up unprecedented possibilities for private communications between genders and in relationships among young people – Costa reveals new worlds of intimacy, love and romance. She also discovers that, when viewed from the perspective of people’s everyday lives, political participation on social media looks very different to how it is portrayed in studies of political postings separated from their original complex, and highly socialised, context.neoliberalism and political events.

Despite their differences, Brett offers her shelter, and together, they work to create a secure home for the bereft little girl. But they need to discover the identity of her father before someone else dies to protect his terrible secret.
Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
In an epoch when particle physics is awaiting a major step forward, the Large Hydron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva will soon be operational. It will collide a beam of high energy protons with another similar beam circulation in the same 27 km tunnel but in the opposite direction, resulting in the production of many elementary particles some never created in the laboratory before. It is widely expected that the LHC will discover the Higgs boson, the particle which supposedly lends masses to all other fundamental particles. In addition, the question as to whether there is some new law of physics at such high energy is likely to be answered through this experiment. The present volume contains ...
