Konstantin Nikolayeviç Leontyev, (1831-1891). Bizansçilik ve Sark meselesi.
New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 120 p. Konstantin Nikolayeviç Leontyev, (1831-1891). Bizansçilik ve Sark meselesi. This study analyzes a nearly forgotten Russian intellectual, Konstantin Nikolaevich Leontiev's (1831-1891) ideas on democracy, liberalism, nationalism, and the East-West dichotomy in the second half of the 19th century. Leontiev spent nearly ten years in the Balkan provinces of the Ottoman Empire as a diplomat, travelled and made observations in the conflict-ridden Ottoman Macedonia. Leontiev's political opinions, Byzantinism as he called it, took shape during his diplomatic service. At the basis of Leontiev's approach to politics, history, and religion laid a theory of aestheticism. He searched for beauty and poetic value in everything from politics to daily life. In line with his historical theory explaining the rise and fall of civilizations, Leontiev underlined that Russia should hold fast to the Byzantine heritage in order to avoid cultural decline. He idealized an anti-nationalist but strictly theocratic political regime. Leontiev's conservative utopia (or dystopia) presents a sui generis assessment of the theoretical deficiencies of such concepts like nationalism, democracy, and liberalism.

Karapinar Tülü carpets. (The Collection of Dr. Ayan Gülgönen).
New English Paperback. Pbo. [16], 63 p. Color ills. "The first Turkish art to be "discovered" by occidentals was carpet weaving, and from the 15th century onwards Turkish carpets were sought after by Europe s wealthy aristocrats to furnish their chateaux and palaces. The prominent place accorded to these carpets in contemporary paintings reflects their status as prized works of art. As interest in Turkish carpets snowballed, impressive collections were formed in Western Europe (and from the 19th century onwards in the United States), and they became a stock-in-trade of ethnographic and Islamic arts museums. There accumulated a correspondingly large body of literature on the Turkish carpet and-from the 1950s onwards- the kilim. French, Italian, English, German and Russian studies and commentaries on the history, regional characteristics, symbolic motifs, and technique of Turkis carpet weaving today constitutes a large specialist library."

Heritage of Anatolia. A 3d visual exploration. [With a DVD].
New English Original bdg. 4to. (34 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 130 p., fully ills. Captured throughout a five years working process, the Istanbul artist Efe Isildaksoy photographed numerous ancient sites and monuments across Turkey in a unique three-dimensional photo technique. A collection of his photographs is now self-published and offers a stunning visual exploration of the rich Anatolian cultural heritage. Reflecting attributes of Lycian, Classical, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman settlements. The 3D photo book Heritage of Anatolia provides a new perspective on the greatest places of antiquity: the thousands of years old remains and the historical importance of past civilizations in this region are visualized in exceptional three-dimensional photographs, among them famous international tourist attractions and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Ephesus, Pergamon, Troy, Cappadocia, and Mount Nemrut. Located foremost in the context of Lycian, Classical, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras, the archaeological finds at the photographed sites are dated back to a time scale ranging from approx. 7th Millennium BC to 5th century AD. Based on a selection of 56 remarkable archaeological complexes, the book contains 128 full-page color prints, a map and an index of the sites. More than 1300 additional 3D photos on DVD and a set of two 3D glasses are attached inside the book to guarantee full reading enjoyment. Focusing exclusively on the visual exploration of these outstanding ruins and archeological excavations, the three-dimensional photographs allow a wealth of detail not often found in other sources. The remains of monumental temples, colossal theatres, extensive city walls and fortifications, public houses and baths, tombs and sarcophagi, elaborate sculptures, ornamentations and inscriptions can be perceived in an exceptional vivid way. The 3D photographs generate a spatial depth that practically draws the viewer into the atmosphere of past times, and instantly captures the reader's fascination. Presented in such an impressive way, the visualized information can be studied with greater accuracy and leaves a thrilling impact on the viewer's comprehension. For those passionate for the ancient, for those looking for inspiration, for those curious about evolution, for students or the layman, as well as for advanced readers with a background in archaeology, architecture, cultural studies, history, Asia Minor, Middle East or other fields of study, Heritage of Anatolia is an ideal source for getting involved with the past and acquiring knowledge about these exceptional sites, artefacts and civilizations.

NURI BILGE CRISS.
Constantinople, 1918.= Konstantiniyye, 1918. Introducttion by Ali Serim.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (31 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. [xxvi], 168 p., b/w and color ills. Constantinople, 1918.= Konstantiniyye, 1918. Introducttion by Ali Serim. In this book you will see a city, which was Capital to empires during its poorest days. Once there was greatness and glory as in the drawings of Melchior Lorichs. The Ottoman naval defeat at Lepanto in 1571 or for some other people the failure of the second siege of Vienna in 1683 was the beginning of the decline. The Empire was effectively ended by the World War I (WWI) and those concerned were not able to preserve the city in the appropriate form it deserved. I purchased the album containing these pictures a decade ago. It is understood that an mysterious French Officer who came to Constantinople during the occupation of the city by Allied Forces at the end of WWI in 1918. He took photographs of buildings and people capturing interesting scenes from social life documented the need for extensive restoration of the old city.

ANDREW BROWN.
Güncel sanat ve ekoloji. [= Art and ecology now].
New New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 25 cm). In Turkish. 255, [3] p., color ills. Eco awareness has had an enormous impact across all cultural and political spectrums, not least in the art world. This accessible and thought-provoking book is the first in-depth exploration of the ways in which contemporary artists are confronting nature, the environment, climate change and ecology. Organized into six chapters, the book moves through the various levels of artists engagement, from those who act as independent commentators, documenting and reflecting on nature, to those who use the physical environment as the raw material for their art, and those committed activists who set out to make art that transforms both our attitudes and our habits. More than 300 illustrations feature the work of 95 artists and art collectives from all over the world, including The Artist as Family, Nyaba Leon Ouedraogo, Yao Lu, Tue Greenfort, Eva Jospin, Ravi Agarwal, Nadav Kander, Naoya Hatakeyama, Tattfoo Tan, Berndnaut Smilde, Simon Starling, and Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla.

New English Original bdg. 4to. (29 x 22 cm). In English. Color ills. [x], [1], 226 p., ills.

KUTLUG ATAMAN.
Kutlug Ataman. The enemy inside me.= Içimdeki düsman. [Exhibition catalogue]. 10 Kasim 2010 - 06 Mart 2011, Istanbul Modern. Exhibition curator: Levent Çalikoglu.
New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 25 cm). In English and Turkish. 129, [5] p., color ills. Kutlug Ataman's video and film works document the lives of marginalized individuals who explicitly give voice to their own obsessions, their relations with micro and macro power structures and verbalize straightforwardly their subliminal issues or sexuality. "I am not interested in exposing these people and turning them into a show," says Ataman, about his preference of these characters, "I only work with people that I see myself in." Ataman chooses narratives that dangle between reality and fiction in his work, which chiefly retains the documentary style. He questions how individuals manifest their identities through storytelling and how narratives are used to re-fabricate another 'self'. While offering an alternative to the categorizing structure of identity politics by putting the individual at the core, Ataman also interconnects significant issues of contemporary art today, such as historiography, social/individual identity, memory, plurality, myth, game and power. Individuals at the centre of Ataman's works narrate not over an academic, institutionalized and fixed representation of history, but over flexible performances such as personal myth-making, masking and shielding. While verbalizing personal stories, individuals expose the ease of verbal expression and persuasiveness of language. Ataman also shapes the screen layout of his video works into installation / sculpture like forms.

A very comprehensive illustrated study on Turkish photographer, Hamza Rüstem, (1872-1971), who was born in Crete. Beside him, Rahmizâde Bahaeddin Bey (Bahaettin Rahmi Bediz, Rahmi Bediz after the 1934 - Law on Family Names in Turkey) was a Cretan Turk who is generally agreed by historians to be the first Turkish photographer by profession. He was a first photographer of archaeologist Evans' Knossos excavations. He started his career in Hanya, Crete in 1895, and went on to open photography studios in Izmir in 1910, in Istanbul in 1915 where he acquired his fame, and in Ankara after 1935 where, aside from his private business, he worked as the Chief of Photography Department in Turkish Historical Society. The thousands of photographs (especially portraits) he took during his career (Crete, Izmir, Istanbul, Ankara) have immense historical value. Before Hamza Rüstem was a photographer was trading some goods near English camp in Crete. Bediz discovered him in Crete as a trader, and he hand his photograph studio to Hamza Rüstem on in Constantinople, Istanbul after Second Constitution, 1909. Bediz was a first Muslim photographer who opened a studio in Ottoman geography according photographic literature. This book includes many postcards which photographed by Bediz, biography of Hamza Rüstem and sons and corporate history of his studio.

A souvenir from Izmir.= Izmir'den yadigar.
New English Paperback. Large 8vo. (25 x 23 cm). In English and Turkish. 240 p., color and b/w ills. 500 copies were printed. A souvenir from Izmir.= Izmir'den yadigar. The unity of the old urban fabric in the city of Izmir, having thousands of historical and cultural heritage, is rapidly impaired while the "city identity" is changing. Cultural assets such as forts, bastions, walls, public baths, tombs and inscriptions, bridges, aqueducts, houses, mansions, mosques, fountains and cemeteries are all, our shared memories which are worth-appreciating. Basmane and its neighborhood are famous for having intense cultural assets where historical, architectural and archaeological values are treated with great care. The number of the abondoned, moved, burned and ruined characteristics of the city, caused by the misuse or other countable reasons, are increasing day by day. Due to the unauthorized interventions by the non-experts, they are also cut off from the city's historical identity. In my book 'A Souvenir from Izmir' I intended to draw attention of the relevant institutions and organizations to the importance of the cultural assets in this region, to call the authorities for taking the necessary action for the unregistered artifacts and to help researchers in easily finding their places by giving the exact addresses of these artifacts. Because I am conscious of the fact that protecting and preserving the cultural assets is the most meaningful gift that could be left to the next generations. Hereby, I would like to thank Ayse Üngör, director of Ahmet Piristina city archive and Museum of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, and his colleagues Gülsüm Berdan Eren, Buket Ocak, Alev Turhan, Ekrem Tükenmez, Servet Kuru for their efforts in editing, translating and publicating my book; and Asst. Prof. Dr. Oktay Gökdemir; and Bedriye Gülay Besikçi for her illustrations and old black and white photos, and finally Yunus Koç and Atilla Özdemir for photos.

John Garstang's footsteps across Anatolia.= Anadolu'da John Garstang'in ayak izleri.
New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 240 p., b/w ills. John Garstang's Footsteps Across Anatolia aims to highlight the international contributions of John Garstang towards the study of archaeology in Turkey and the Near East. He was one of the first advocates of using photography as a means of documenting procedures and findings of archaeological excavations. In Turkey, Garstang was accompanied on his Anatolia Survey (1907) and Sakçagözü excavations (1908-1911) by his German assistant, Horst Schliephack. The result of over five years of research by The University of Liverpool, this book presents a series of short discursive articles about Garstang's work in Turkey and the Near East and a catalogue of newly digitised glass plate negatives from his 1907 journey across Anatolia. Garstang's photographs are an irreplaceable record of the archaeological sites, landscapes and peoples of Turkey and north Syria in the period of the late Ottoman Empire.
