The Blessed Cities of Islam, Mecca-Medina
Mecca and Medina are the two sanctuaries of Islam, places which every Muslim dreams of visiting at least once in a lifetime. Mecca is believed to be the very first location of human settlement and it was the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The Ka'ba, found in Mecca, was raised by the Prophet Abraham from its foundations to become the direction of prayer for believers. Medina is the city in which Islamic civilization was centralized and flourished religiously, politically, and socially. Faruk Aksoy, a BBC cameraman, took hundreds of photographs of these blessed cities from the most spectacular angles. This album includes over 160 select pictures shot by Aksoy since 1980s. He provides for us a picturesque pilgrimage experience and gives us an opportunity to share in the blessings of a lifetime journey as we browse through the pages accompanied by inspirational text. Features: The Ka'ba and the Golden Gutter; The Prophet's Mosque and the Rawda; Cemeteries of Jannat al-Mualla and Jannat al-Baqi; Mount Nur; Mina, Mount Arafat.
Religion, War, and Ethics
This volume offers a comprehensive selection of texts from the world's major religions on the ethical dimensions of war and armed conflict. Despite a considerable rise of interest in Eastern and Western religious teachings on issues of war and peace, the principal texts in which these teachings are expounded have in most cases remained inaccessible to all but a handful of specialists. This is especially true of traditions such as Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism, where the key authoritative treatments are often embedded in texts (e.g., Koranic jurisprudence, religious epics, or Talmudic commentary) that are not overtly about matters pertaining to the ethics of war, thus requiring a difficult process of interpretation and selection, and for which English translations frequently do not exist. Topical and timely for today's debates in the public arena and essential reading for students of religious ethics and the relationship between religion and politics, this book aims to give the reader a proper knowledge of the textual traditions that inform the key struggles over issues of peace and security, identity and land.

MEDYA VE TÜKETİM I
Günümüzde toplumsal pratiklerin şekillenmesi ile dünyayı algılama biçimlerimizdeki değişimi anlamak ve tüketim edimini oluşturan yapıyı görmek adına medya ve tüketim konusu medya çalışmalarında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Toplumsal kültürlerin özerk karakterlerinin küresel iletişim sistemleri ile dönüşerek tek tipleştirici bir tüketim kültürünün oluşması 1950’lerin başlarında “Kültür Endüstrisi” tartışmaları odağında başlarken sonrasında ise yön değiştirerek 1960’lardan günümüz postmodern yaklaşımların öne sürdüğü tartışmalara dek uzanmaktadır. Kültürün metalaşması ile toplumsal ilişkilerin de adeta metalaştığı ve de güzellik anlayışı, mutluluk algısı gibi birçok değerin medya dolayımlı bir tüketim anlayışına bağlı olarak ilerlediği yeni bir toplumsal, ekonomik ve kültürel sürecin günümüze dek toplumsalı sarmaladığı görülmektedir.
