“Wait,” she said, standing and touching him on the shoulder. Her touch set his body on fire, drove out the tiredness and utterly wrecked him. She took two small glasses from a cupboard, each movement overwhelmingly graceful. She poured a little whisky into each. “Here,” she said, and as she gave it to him she touched his hand. He knew what she was trying to do, little touch after little touch, arouse him, don't push, just be patient. He understood, but he was too needy to fight it. “Early morning pick-me-up,” she whispered. She sipped her drink and watched as he sipped his. “Poor boy,” she said. “You must be in a state to come here at this time.” Faraday desperately wante...
I was motivated to write this memoir by my beloved mother. When I started to write my first book, Liliths Awakening, Mom came to me in a dream, telling me, Write about what you know and are good at. The next day, I told my husband, and he did agree with Mom. I decided to take their advice and put my first book on hold. My dear clients had a big part in the writing process when I told them about it. The concept of the book is how I wanted to introduce Turkish coffee images reading. It contains all my memories and life experiences since I became a coffee messengerabout thirty years of perceptive experiences with loved ones who have crossed.
The refugee crisis that began in 2015 has seen thousands of refugees attempting to reach Europe, principally from Syria. The dangers and difficulties of this journey have been highlighted in the media, as have the political disagreements within Europe over the way to deal with the problem.

A Gendered Approach to the Syrian Refugee Crisis examines women’s experience at all stages of forced migration, from the conflict in Syria, to refugee camps in Lebanon or Turkey, on the journey to the European Union...
This book examines all aspects of the progress being made towards the development of highly specific and sensitive biomarkers that will overcome the shortcomings of clinical assessments in periodontics.

The potential role of biomarkers in periodontal diagnosis is then presented in the light of the published data. The biological samples in which potential biomarkers are sought are evaluated comparatively, drawing attention to their ...

Veteran science writer Michael Balter skillfully weaves together many threads in this fascinating book about one of archaeology’s most legendary sites— Çatalhöyük. First excavated forty years ago, the site is justly revered by prehistorians, art historians, and New Age goddess worshippers alike for its spectacular finds dating almost 10,000 years ago. Archaeological maverick Ian Hodder, leader of the recent re-excavation at this Turkish mound, designated Balter as the project’s biographer. The result is a skillful telling of many stories about both past and present: of the inhabitants of Neolithic Çatalhöyük and the development of human creativity and ingenuity, as revealed in th...
Winner of the William A. Douglass Prize in Europeanist Anthropology The emergence of an Islamist movement and the startling buoyancy of Islamic political parties in Turkey--a model of secular modernization, a cosmopolitan frontier, and NATO ally--has puzzled Western observers. As the appeal of the Islamist Welfare Party spread through Turkish society, including the middle class, in the 1990s, the party won numerous local elections and became one of the largest parties represented in parliament, even holding the prime ministership in 1996 and 1997. Welfare was formally banned and closed in 1998, and its successor, Virtue, was banned in 2001, for allegedly posing a threat to the state, but the...

'Kennard reports with devastating precision.' Naomi Klein While working at the Financial Times, investigative journalist Matt Kennard uncovered a scam - a deception and rip-off of immense proportions. From slanging matches with Henry Kissinger to afternoon coffees with the man who captured Che Guevara, Kennard’s unbridled access over four years to the crème de la crème of the global elite left him with only one conclusion: the world as we know it is run by a squad of cigar-smoking men with big guns, big cash and a reach much too close to home. But, through encounters with high-profile opponents of the racket, such as Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Gael García Bernal and others, Kennard shows that human decency remains. Now it’s time for the world’s citizens to also uncover the racket.
