Fountains in Ottoman Istanbul.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Oblong large 8vo. (24 x 22 cm). In English. 216 p. Color ills. Many excellent studies of the fountains of Istanbul have been carried out in the past, and these provide valuable documentation and inventories of the city's fountains which are disappearing steadily one by oneo complement its predecessors by encompassing all the fountains built in the Ottoman Empire's last capital between the fifteenth and twenthieth centuries, presented in chronogical order, in the framework of a consistent typological analysis, and accompanied by photographs, drawings and other available visual documentation. The authors examine changes in style in Ottoman architecture over these five centuries in the context of fountains, so contributing not only to literature specifically on the subject of fountains, but also to the evolution of the Ottoman architectural identity, thereby filling an serious gap in literature on the subject.

ATTILA DURAK.
Ebru: Reflections of cultural diversity in Turkey. [With a CD].
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (32 x 30 cm). English Edition. 446 p., color ills. Ebru: Reflections of cultural diversity in Turkey. [With a CD]. A very heavy volume. Over seven years in the making, Ebru is a sweeping and poignant photographic journey that illuminates, through the faces of its people, the rich cultural diversity of Turkey.The English translation of "ebru" is "marbled paper", which refers to the fluidity of paint and water on paper. With its creative combination of water and paper, "ebru" inspires the possibility of conceptualizing historical flow and "passing solidity" at the same time. As such, it is a metaphor that offers a promising alternative to others like "the mosaic"or "the quilt" for thinking through the new and old dilemmas of cultural politics at the turn of the century.Attila Durak's visual portraits are rendered even more dramatic through John Berger's foreword and interpretive essays from some of Turkey's most discerning contemporary writers. Because of this exceptional artistic pairing, Ebru provides rare insight into the vibrant color, complexity, as well as political nuance, of a country defined and sustained by its multicultural past and present.
