Engin Özendes, geçtigimiz yil yine YEM Yayin tarafindan yayimlanan Osmanli Imparatorlugu'nda Fotografçilik 1839-1923 adli kitabinin devami niteligi tasiyan Türkiye'de Fotografa Modern ve Çagdas Yaklasimlar'i söyle özetliyor: "Bu kitap, ne bir ansiklopedi ne de bir özgeçmisler listesidir. Baslibasina fotografin tarihiyle ilgili degildir. Çagdas ya da modern fotografla ilgili herkesin yer aldigi iddiasini da tasimaz. Bu kitap; simdiye kadar kitaplastirilmamis bir konunun bir kesit halinde sunulmasidir. Bugün yaraticiliklarini modern ve çagdas anlayisla ortaya koyan genç sanatçilarin, geçmiste bu yolda ugras veren, yadsinamayacak isimleri tanimalari için konunun baslangici eski yillara dayandirilmistir. Cumhuriyet dönemi fotografçiligi baslangiçtan günümüze kadar degerlendirilerek, çagdas ve modern çalismalar yapmis sanatçilara yer verilmektedir. Kitapta yer almayan sanatçilar yalnizca bu tür çalismalar yapmadiklari için örneklenmemektedir.". -- Fotograf Çagdas fotografçilik Türk fotografi.

"Photography in the Ottoman Empire 1839-1923 provides an account of the history of photography in the Ottoman Empire between the years 1839-1923, an important though neglected field in the history of an early photography. The sultans of the Ottoman Empire traditionally shaped the arts of their day, and their enthusiastic reaction to the discovery of photography was to be crucial in the development of photography in the Empire. This third edition of the book published by YEM Publications has been updated and enlarged to incorporate new information gathered over the years and many new photographs that have been added to my archive. I have made sure that the revised text comprises the latest information available on the subject. Many nation states were created in the former Ottoman territories in Europe, Asia and Africa. I have not included the individual photographic histories of these countries but endeavoured to focus primarily on photography within the present boundaries of the Republic of Turkey. A list of photographers who worked in the Ottoman Empire has been provided to assist all those who are interested in the history of photography in Turkey and the Middle East. The names of photographers that I have come across in documents written in Ottoman Turkish script have been given as spelt. The first two editions treated the story of photography in the Ottoman Empire from the announcement of its discovery in 1839 up to 1919, but this new edition has been extended up to the year 1923 when the Turkish Republic was founded. Researching the history of photography is an unending task requiring a lifetime's dedication."

Translated by Elif Dolanbay, Adem Yerinde. The Islamic garden is regarded as one of the highest forms of visual art in the civilization of Islam, and this guide explains these gardens' history and symbolism, and their connections to the Quran. The principal elements are water and shade; they are also characterized by the chahar-bagh: a four-fold pattern, constructed around a central pool or fountain, with four streams flowing toward the four corners of the earth. This design is aesthetically striking; however, a true appreciation of an Islamic garden is only complete with an understanding of the spiritual symbolism manifested in its design and planting. The significance of the gardens' layout and design are explored, as well as the geometry, hard landscaping, and architectural elements, allowing a deeper understanding of the gardens' beauty. Practical instructions include recommendations for suitable trees, shrubs, and flowers, and advice on creating an Islamic garden in cooler climates.

Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). In the reign of Sultan Ahmed III (1703-1730), treasury land from Hasan Halife Garden to Kayalar Village, was sold by Grand Vizier Damad Ibrahim Pasha in 1724/25. Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, who has a share in the said lands, built a pavilion just for the Sultan. Sultan Selim III (1789-1807) set foot on Izzetabad Pavilion for the first time upon the invitation of GRAND Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, but later he frequently came to the Pavilion for pleasure and entertaining activities. After a fire on May 15th, 1798; Izzetabad Pavilion was burnt down. And Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha died in Manisa on September 18th, 1812. Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). The pavilion was rebuilt and redecorated by Chief Architect Mustafa and Hayrullah Efendi from Sehremini, between the years 1800-1804, and the palace was used by Sultan Selim III and Mahmud II (1808-1839). When the Bayraktar Group bought Izzetâbâd Pavilion, there was nothing more than relics of the basement. Its construction and renovation was completed in 1999. Thanks to the Bayraktar Group, Istanbul and Turkey have regained a precious heritage from the period of Selim III. After four years, in 2003, we started out to initiate the research which would unearth the mysterious history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu, together with Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay. In the corridors of the history of Akintiburnu, tracing back to nearly 2 thousand years ago, we started to discover the sophisticated and colorful history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion which witnessed great joys as well as torments and conspiracies to date. As a result, the book of Izzetâbâd Pavilion, Time Flies Away from Akintiburnu was published to reveal the history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu in light of historical documents. Today, we have this precious work of art written by Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay, and which gained further value thanks to the highly professional design by Dear Joelle Imamoglu.

Türkiye'nin Cumhuriyet tarihi boyunca tabu addettigi konularin basinda gelen azinliklar konusu, özellikle doksanli yillarla birlikte Türkiyeli arastirmacilarin gündeminde eskisine oranla daha agirlikli bir yere sahip oldu. Genelde hâkim konumda olan ve defansif/milliyetçi kaygilarla konuyu ele alip, ideolojik bir karsi durusu korumaya çalisanlarin yanisira, yeni kaynaklara, yeni yaklasimlara kapi açan arastirmalar da var. Elçin Macar'in bu çalismasi, sadece "netameli" sayilmis bir konu olarak Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi'nin Cumhuriyet tarihi içindeki serüvenini dile getirmekle kalmiyor; konunun hiçbir derinligi olmadan, günlük iç ve dis siyasî çekismelerle sinirli olarak ele alinis tarzini terk etmeyi öneren bir derinligi de tasiyor. Macar, bu kitabiyla iki milliyetçilik arasinda sikismis, ötekilesmis, ideolojik açidan suistimal edilmis bir kurum olan Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi'ne, hem teorik hem de metodolojik açidan bugüne kadar egemen olan anlayistan farkli bir yaklasim getirmeyi amaçliyor ve yitirilmis dinsel çesitliligin yakin tarihteki izlerini sürüyor.
