SEMA NILGÜN ERDOGAN.
Sexual life in Ottoman society.
Fine English Paperback. Mint. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. B/w and color ills. The mysterious sex life of the Ottoman Society has remined a taboo until recent yerars. Even now it is not truly unveiled. Beyond the facade of convertional relations, the sexual life of the Ottoman Society was surprisingly rich and colorful. The Ottoman man was a conneaisseur of every kind of beaty. His addicton to all kinds of sexual experience was possible in the cosmopolitan context naturally, with a good deal of tolerance from the administrators in sexual matters. On the other side of the coin, we find that the experiences enjoyed by the women were equally colorful. Here are some chapters from this wealth of experiences: A Great Mystery: The Harem, Professional Sex in Ottoman Society, Beauty Norms of the Ottoman Man, Bahnames: Handbooks of Sexuality, Çengis and Lesbians, The Domestic Mistresses: Odaliques, The Most Beautiful Women of the World; in Ottoman Eyes, The Warm Nests of Love: Turkish Baths, Homosexuality in the Ottomans, Love Signals, Sex Humour of the Ottomans, Ottoman Texts on Sexuality, Sex Scandals Which Shocked Ottoman Society .

SEMRA EREN-NIJHAR.
Turks in London: The unheard voices.
New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 236 p., ills. Turks in London: The unheard voices. The history of Turkish people in Britain is not as short as many would presume but is quite under researched. There is some research on the history of Turks in Britain but still many people do not know that 'Güvercinlik' (pigeon-loft) is the term given by the first Turkish arrivals to Trafalgar Square, London. It is where the first Turks (mainly Turkish Cypriots) used to meet. This was their one and only meeting point out of necessity as they did not have any associations, cafes or restaurants of their own to gather and socialise. Although it is known that some Turkish Cypriots arrived in London in the 1920's and 1930's Turkish Cypriots started coming in bigger numbers to London in the 1940's and 'Güvercinlik' is the place where their journey started.

Seymour Parker
The Precultural Basis of the Incest Taboo: Toward a Biosocial Theory
285-305 pages. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" bound in publisher's original wrappers for volume 78 number 2. First edition. The literature on the origins of the incest taboo is characterized by controversy over the nature/nurture issue and fears of reductionism. In recent years work emanating from such diverse disciplines as cultural and physical anthropology ethology and neuropsychology warrants a new look at this intriguing issue. It is probable that incest avoidance is widespread among the vertebrata and is "built into the wiring." As learned behavior becomes more important phylogenectically curiosity and exploration plays a larger a larger role in adaptation and has manifest survival advantages. Incest avoidance functions as a mechanism to propel the individual into new relationships and "social territory." For humans incest avoidance and its later elaboration into a cultural taboo serve to motivate exploration of and attachment to a wider social nexus than the family. It also prevents fixation at a relatively undifferentiated psychological stage of development. Condition: A very good copy. American Anthropological Association

Sibilla, Paolo
La Thuile in Valle d?Aosta. Una comunit? alpina fra tradizione e modernit?.
cm. 17 x 24, xviii-282 pp. con 12 tavv. f.t. Biblioteca di ?Lares? Il volume nasce da un?esperienza etnografica e storiografica che ha consentito di ricostruire in chiave antropologica le componenti culturali, sociali ed economiche di un paese di confinario valdostano di idioma francoprovenzale. La comunit? ? stata studiata nella sua complessit? in prospettiva diacronica. Gli aspetti normativi e assiologici in rapporto alla vita quotidiana e alla attivit? prevalenti connesse ai vari momenti della sua storia hanno permesso di stabilire il senso e l?intensit? delle mutazioni che hanno segnato il passaggio dalla tradizionale economia agro-pastorale alle fasi successive caratterizzate dall?instaurarsi dell?industria estrattiva e, pi? recentemente, dallo sviluppo turistico e del terziario avanzato. Born from an unusual ethnographical and historiographical experience, this book reconstructs the cultural, social and economic components of a French Provencal border community in Val d?Aosta, from an anthropological point of view. The cultural themes of ordinary life linked to the different stages of this community?s history, enable the reader to grasp the meaning of the alterations that marked the changeover from an agro pastoral economy to the ensuing periods characterised by the mining exploitation on to the more recent development of the tourist industry. 580 gr. xviii-282 p.

Slater, Philip E.
The Glory of Hera : Greek Mythology and the Greek Family
The ancient Athenians were "quarrelsome as friends, treacherous as neighbors, brutal as masters, faithless as servants, shallow as lovers--all of which was in part redeemed by their intelligence and creativity." Thus writes Philip Slater in this classic work on narcissism and family relationships in fifth-century Athenian society. Exploring a rich corpus of Greek mythology and drama, he argues that the personalities and social behavior of the gods were neurotic, and that their neurotic conditions must have mirrored the family life of the people who perpetuated their myths. The author traces the issue of narcissism to mother-son relationships, focusing primarily on the literary representation of Hera and the male gods and showing how it related to devalued women raising boys in an ambitious society dominated by men. "The role of homosexuality in society, fatherless families, working mothers, women's status, and violence, male pride, and male bonding--all these find their place in Slater's analysis, so honestly and carefully addressed that we see our own societal dilemmas reflected in archaic mythic narratives all the more clearly." 513p. bibliography. index. Clean,neat tight copy but with pencilled notes and underlinings Book

Solway, David
Anatomy of Arcadia
'...an account of a year spent on the Greek island of Paxos." "His wry and beautifully written excursion into a dystopian Arcadia is rooted in his sardonic wit and the pitiless eye that he turns on modern Greece, on modern Greeks, and, not the least, on himself." (this copy marred by underlinings and comments from a previous reader- some of which, however, are quite interesting-) Book
