The republic of Turkey and the Soviet Union both emerged from the wreckage of empires surrounding World War I, and pathways of literary exchange soon opened between the two revolutionary states. Even as the Turkish government pursued a friendly relationship with the USSR, it began to persecute communist writers. Whether going through official channels or fleeing repression, many Turkish writers traveled to the Soviet Union during the 1920s and 1930s, publishing original work, editing prominent literary journals, and translating both Russian classics and Soviet literature into Turkish. Writing in Red traces the literary and exilic itineraries of Turkish communist and former communist writers,...

This book on Turkish geomorphology offers location descriptions, based on their dynamics and evolution processes, including hydrology, tectonics, volcanism, slopes, coasts, ice/snow, and wind. It presents landforms as a result of evolution (Quaternary, Holocene, historic) and in relation to the elements determining and/or impacting this evolution (vegetation, soil, hydrology, geology, climate, sea level and human action) as well as the resulting landscapes. Richly illustrated with pictures from each site, including geomorphological maps and sections, it explains the risks associated with the geomorphological dynamics (on local and global scales), natural and/or cultural heritage (archaeology, prehistory, history, architectural specifications adapted to the landscape), as well as challenges for human society (endangered landscape, protection/conservation rules/statutes, posters/paintings.).

The ability of terrorist groups to inflict death and destruction has markedly increased with technological advances in the areas of communication, transportation, and weapon capability. Using these new tools and networks, terrorists now seek to inflict mass casualties worldwide. Given these realities, it is essential to research the factors that underlie a terrorist group’s origins, grievances, and demands. Such insights might help others respond more effectively to insurgencies, especially when military campaigns to capture or kill every terrorist have proven unsuccessful. The Freedom Fighter: A Terrorist’s Own Story explores why so many Kurdish people—especially young adults—join t...
Karşı komşumun çöpe ceset taşıdığı sırada evlenme teklifi ettim. Komşuma değil, bir başkasına. Kabul etti. Ne yüzük, ne şarap ne de takım elbise. Balkon, ayaz, komşu, ceset, ve o... Bir de kulağıma ara sıra fısıldayan bir ses vardı, "Sakin ol, kendine gel, olumlu... Daha olumlu," diyordu bir reiki uzmanının fonda Enigma eşliğinde söylediği tekerlemeler gibi. Dinlemiyordum. Neden dinleyeyim? Devrik krallara olan saygımdan daha fazladır, devrik cümlelere olan saygım. Bu bir devrik cümleydi. Bana benziyordu.
Tekrar yürümeye başladım. İleride birkaç taksi müşteri bekliyor. Bekleyen taksilerden birine yanaşıp, “Donde puedo compra loro?” dedim. Taksi şoförü “Ha lora!” diye gülümseyerek cevap verdi. Taksiye atladım bir süre gittik, eski dökük bir mahallede eski dökük bir binanın önünde durduk. Taksi şoförü evlerden birini göstererek “lora lora” diye gitmem gereken yeri tarif etti... Evin kapısı açık, burası yarı ev, yarı bar gibi bir yer, içeride 5-6 tane de kadın var. Sanırım bu insanlar ormanlarda yakaladıkları papağanları kanun dışı yollardan turistlere satıyorlar. İçeri girdim İspanyolca “Hola” diye selam verdim sonra da bildiğim...
