Democratic Oversight and Reform of the Security Sector in Turkey
This book vividly describes the historical background, current issues, and remaining challenges of Turkey's security sector institutions and their democratic oversight. As Turkey proceeds on its path towards possible European Union membership, this book documents its progress on the touchstone issue of contemporary civil-military relations, the challenging issue of instituting civilian and democratic oversight and control mechanisms over a whole array of security institutions including the police, gendarmerie, army, intelligence services and many others. Military relations in Turkey have undergone great and constructive changes during the past few years, which, if continued, will also have a positive impact on the accession negotiations with the European Union. In this context it will be very important, building on the goodwill which the Turkish military possess in society, to develop an informed security community consisting of members of parliament, academicians, journalists underpinning of security policy.

Cost Effectiveness in Medical Education
With economic winter facing many healthcare and health education budgets, the high costs of medical education are bringing it under close scrutiny. However, the costs of not providing high quality medical education - not least human costs in morbidity and mortality from medical error - are also high, presenting medical educators, funding managers, policy makers and economists with an unenviable dilemma.

The Rationalizing Voter
Political behavior is the result of innumerable unnoticed forces and conscious deliberation is often a rationalization of automatically triggered feelings and thoughts. Citizens are very sensitive to environmental contextual factors such as the title 'President' preceding 'Obama' in a newspaper headline, upbeat music or patriotic symbols accompanying a campaign ad, or question wording and order in a survey, all of which have their greatest influence when citizens are unaware. This book develops and tests a dual-process theory of political beliefs, attitudes and behavior, claiming that all thinking, feeling, reasoning and doing have an automatic component as well as a conscious deliberative component. The authors are especially interested in the impact of automatic feelings on political judgments and evaluations. This research is based on laboratory experiments, which allow the testing of five basic hypotheses: hot cognition, automaticity, affect transfer, affect contagion and motivated reasoning.
The First World War as a Caesura?
During the phases of mobile warfare, the ethnically and religiously very heterogeneous population in the border regions of the multi-ethnic empires suffered in particular. Even if the real military situation in the course of the war hardly gave cause for concern, the image of disloyal ethnic and national minorities was widespread. This was particularly the case when ethnic groups lived on both sides of the border and social and political tensions had already established themselves along ethnic or religious lines of conflict before the war. Displacements, deportations and mass violence were the result. The genocide of the Armenian population is the most extreme example of this development. This anthology examines the border regions of the Ottoman, Russian and Habsburg empires during the First World War with regard to radical population policy and genocidal violence from a comparative perspective in order to draw a more precise picture of escalating and deescalating factors.
An Epicurean Odyssey: Sommelier Stories
An Epicurean Odyssey: Sommelier Stories is Robert Giorgione's second book. It is a personalised journey through food and wine embellished with mouth-watering anecdotes and experiences. Think of an exciting blend of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential," a Quentin Tarantino movie, a hint of Keith Floyd, a large portion of wonderfully-evocative memories, a splash of "Sideways" and a dash of controversy thrown in for good measure and you have "Sommelier Stories." It also features more than 90 recipes from family, friends and well-known chefs all with bespoke wine pairings. "Sommelier Stories" also includes links to hundreds of websites, blog articles, videos, interviews, tasting notes, reviews and great food and wine matching ideas. Robert Giorgione has been a highly respected sommelier since 1997, having worked in some of the most high profile restaurants in the UK. In 2009 he established his independent wine consultancy.
