Managing Salinization
Salinization of soils is a major threat to irrigated agriculture and counteracts the targets of costly public infrastructure investments. In this study, salinization is regarded as the outcome of an institutional arrangement which impedes the effective implementation of well-known and well-established control measures be they technical, managerial or economic. In public irrigation systems neither the management units nor the farmers are offered any incentives towards the control of high groundwater levels and salinization if the management units are embedded in a highly centralized non-market institutional setting. The author answers the question under which conditions management units and irrigators are active in halting and reversing the process of salinization.
The Plain of Saints and Prophets
The book is the first detailed study on the Nusayri-Alawi community of Cilicia available in a Western language. The Alawis are an Arabic speaking religious minority of ca. 300,000 people living in the Turkish provinces of Adana and Mersin. The book contains chapters devoted to the history of Alawi settlement, the community's identity and social structures, and prejudices they have to face from the majority population. Also covered are religious practices like feasts and beliefs like metempsychosis. The heart of the book is an analysis of the numerous Alawi sanctuaries. Long-term field research enabled the authors to document a vital, highly mobile practice of saint veneration performed at co...
Turkey's Politics
This book discusses in full the economic, social, and cultural background of modern Turkey's political system. Beginning with a historical sketch of the problems of the Ottoman Empire that gave rise to the early reform movement, Professor Karpat describes the eventual formation of the Republic and the consequent economic and social changes and the international political developments conditioned by the Second World War. In the central portion of the book he focuses attention on postwar political developments, with special emphasis on the critical period from 1945 to 1950. Originally published in 1959. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Water Resources of Turkey
This book provides an in-depth description of water resources of Turkey, a country with a unique geographical location, extending from the Mediterranean in Europe to the Middle East. Its varying geography, topography, hydrology, geology and climate are reflected in the diverse characteristics of its water basins. Furthermore, due to its geographical location, Turkey has a significant number of transboundary river basins and has to share its water resources with its neighbors, an issue that can sometimes lead to water conflicts. Turkey is also an interesting example of a developing country that is attempting to adapt to universal water management strategies while at the same time facing legal...
Müzik Kültürüne Dair Çeşirli Görüşler XIV
Uzun süren titiz ve yorucu bir hazırlık sürecinin ardından “Müzik Kültürüne Dair Çeşitli Görüşler”in sizlerle buluştuğu XIV. sayısı ile yine beraberiz. Bu sebeple büyük emek gerektiren bilimsel çalışmalarını gönderen yazarlarımıza ve özveriyle çalışarak bu kitabın okuyucuyla buluşmasını sağlayan yayın ekibine teşekkür ediyoruz. Kimi zaman konulara sığamadığımız sayılarımız oluyor. Bu sayımız da yazarlarımızın çalışma alanlarını öne çıkardıkları konulara sığmayan bir yayın oldu. Müzikoloji, Müzik Teorileri, Müzik Eğitimi, Bestecilik, Türk Din Mûsikîsi, Klâsik Batı Müziği, Klâsik Türk Müziği, Türk Halk Müzi...
Land Surface Processes in Hydrology
General circulation models (GCMs) predict certain changes in the amounts and distribution of precipitation, but the conversion of these predictions of impacts on water resources presents novel problems in hydrologic modeling, particularly with regard to the scale of the processes involved. Therefore improved, distributed GCMs are required. New remote sensing technologies provide the necessary spatially distributed data. However, there are many attendant problems with the translation of remotely sensed signals into hydrologically relevant information. This book elucidates how to improve the representation of land surface hydrologic processes in GCMs and in regional and global scale climate studies. It is divided into five sections: Models and Data; Precipitation; Soil Moisture; Evapotranspiration; Runoff.
Çekiç ve Gül
“Biz mi bombaladık lan Emniyet’i darbe gecesi? Biz mi yıktık buraları? Bizi darbeden önce Köpek Eğitim Merkezi’ne sürmüşlerdi. Köpek mamalarının tadına bakıyorduk amirimle, köpekler ishal olmuştu, nedenini anlamaya çalışıyorduk. Bir baktık havada jetler uçuyor, Gölbaşı’na, dibimize bomba yağdırıyorlar.” Ankara Emniyeti’nin Cinayet Bürosu’nun aykırı başkomiseri Behzat Ç., öfkesinden yorgun düşmüş, yine hayalet gibi dolanıyor ortalıkta. Tabii Hayalet’le ve Akbaba ve Harun’la beraber... Bazen de Cinayet’in kızı Seher’le, Cinayet’in kedisi Gaspi’yle beraber... Sıvasız duvarlı gecekonduda, pavyonda, işkembecide, oto tamirhanesinde, dükkânda, şık bir ofiste, tekkede, Millet Bahçesi’nde, adliyede, hastanede, nezarethanede, mezarlıkta ve tabii sokaklarda, cinayetlerin ve nice cürümlerin izini sürüyor Behzat Ç.. Umutsuz, serkeş, pejmürde... Bazen de olanca dehşetine tezat, “basit, tatlı ve hüzünlü” insan hikâyelerinin içinde geziyor. Emrah Serbes’in bir fenomen olan Behzat Ç.’si, Çekiç ve Gül’de bu defa öyküleriyle “ortamlarda” kol geziyor.
Turkish Folk Music from Asia Minor
This book is a substantial and thorough musicological analysis of Turkish folk music. It reproduces in facsimile Bartók's autograph record of eighty seven vocal and instrumental peasant melodies of the Yürük Tribes, a nomadic people in southern Anatolia. Bartók's introduction includes his annotations of the melodies, texts, and translations and establishes a connection between Old Hungarian and Old Turkish folk music. Begun in 1936 and completed in 1943, the work was Bartók's last major essay. The editor, Dr. Benjamin Suchoff, has provided an historical introduction and a chronology of the various manuscript versions. An afterword by Kurt Reinhard describes recent research in Turkish et...
