| Title: Chaotic Uncertainty |
| Sub-title: Reflections on Islam The Middle East and The World System |
| By (author): Immanuel Wallerstein Edited by: Ozlem Madi, Cengiz Sisman |
| ISBN10-13: 9752439519 : 9789752439511 |
| Immanuel Wallerstein is one of the most important and yet controversial thinkers and activists of our time, writing on a wide range of topics from global economics and international politics. To Wallerstein, capitalist world-system, which was created over the last five hundred years, and whose main ideology was liberalism, has been going through a deep structural crisis since the 1970s. He maintains that this system will be replaced by other and perhaps better systems in the mid or long run. In his works in last few decades, Wallerstein has devoted almost all of his energy and time analyzing and explaining how the capitalist system could be replaced by a better system. In that regards, he considers Islamism as one of the most important dissenting movements in the World-System, but necessarily as a powerful force to replace it. This volume contains his articles and commentaries on Islam, the Middle East and the World-System, all of which were published since the Arab Spring. |

| Title: Disinformation |
| Sub-title: How Did the Western Media See Turkey's July 15 Coup Attempt? A Discourse Analysis -- Orientalism, Neo-imperialism and Islamophobia |
| By (author): Filiz Barin Akman |
| ISBN10-13: 9752439381 : 9789752439382 |
| This book deals with the disinformation on Turkeys failed coup attempt in July 2016. The night of 15 July 2016 was long for Turkey. A military coup was in action. Some soldiers -- also known as FETÃ terrorists -- declared a military takeover on national TV, holding the trembling anchorwoman at gun point while tanks rolled in the streets, bulldozing cars and civilians alike, helicopters rained down bullets on unsuspecting protestors; access to the Bosporus Bridge was blocked, fighter jets began to fly very low, Turkish Parliament was bombed with impunity. With the dawn, it became apparent the perpetrators of the nights bloody coup attempt had destroyed many government buildings and killed some 250 people and wounded more than 2000. Turks unprecedented bravery and sacrifice in defense of democracy, freedom, and country against a military intervention was an exemplary act of civil defense, but it is seldom recognized or appreciated as such in the mainstream Western media. |

| Title: Erdoganophobia |
| Sub-title: Manufacturing Hate and Political Fear -- A Case Study |
| By (author): Abdulkadir Ozkan |
| ISBN10-13: 9752439365 : 9789752439368 |
| Recep Tayyip Erdogan is known as Leader, Master, Sir, Conqueror of Davos, and World Leader while the opposition calls him the New Sultan and Dictator. Regardless of in which ideological frame he is analyzed, Erdogan being the greatest success story after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the history of Turkish politics is an undebatable fact. Therefore, a history of politics written without Erdogan and without considering multiple angles would not make it possible to understand Turkeys critical democratization and transformation processes. Erdogan is a powerful politician who showed the courage to challenge the status quo on a global scale and exclaimed to sovereign powers in the name of the oppressed, that the world is bigger than five, who made the world accept that the New Turkey is now a noteworthy actor against oppression and oppressors. This study tries to take a socio-political picture of Western fear: Erdoganophobia. |

| Title: Forty Fours in Management |
| Sub-title: In the Age of Information and Innovation |
| By (author): Hayri Baracli |
| ISBN10-13: 9752439853 : 9789752439856 |
| Don't worry that you may have lost the race to build the world's highest building to the Burj al Arab in Dubai, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, or the World Financial Center in Shanghai if you place all the books written about leadership on top of each other, you can claim this title. You would be fairly confused reading this enormous collection. At times you will see the 5, 10, 27, 83 or 100 features of the perfect leader, and at other times you will be asked to ponder whether leadership is learned or made. You will read passages by the same author, which say the charismatic leader is both demonised and idealised, or that the perfect leader is either a listener or an orator. Don't be surprised by these contrasts, it is actually quite normal that there is such a quantity and such a wide variety of opinions about leadership, which is an immeasurable value. |

| Title: Ottoman Women |
| Sub-title: In The Eyes of Western Travelers |
| By (author): Filiz Barin Akman |
| ISBN10-13: 9752439373 : 9789752439375 |
| In the West, when one thinks about the concepts such as the harem and Oriental women, there are unfortunately a couple of stock images that come to mind. Shaped Shaped by centuries-old orientalist attitudes, Eastern women were thought to be prisoners in the harems much like birds in gilded cages, devoid of any rights or say. Sensualized images of the harem where women were believed to be sequestered for male pleasure only added to the demeaning portrayal of women in the East. This book is a study of the often misunderstood lives of Eastern women in Ottoman harems. Based predominantly on nineteenth century British womens travel accounts, this detailed but easy-to-read archival investigation sheds a fresh light on womens misunderstood place in Ottoman society. As a challenge to the dominant orientalist discourse, this study details real lives of Ottoman women behind the myth of the Ottoman harem. |

| Title: Rethinking Hadith Methodolog |
| By (author): Mehmet Görmez, Cengiz Sisman Translated by: Ismail Eris |
| ISBN10-13: 6056919587 : 9786056919589 |
| In the early centuries of Islam, Muslim scholars developed countless scientific disciplines in attempting to classify, investigate, and utilise the hadiths and the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. As none of these sciences evolved into a fully-fledged hadith science, scholars began to implement the methodology of fiqh in examining the hadiths. After Imam al Shafii in the ninth century, hadiths were almost exclusively confined to the realm of legal studies. This new legalistic and literalist approach to the hadith created serious problems, primarily for two reasons, the Prophet did not intend that each of his words and utterances should form the basis of a legal system, and unlike the Quran, the Prophets statements were transmitted over generations and not always verbatim and therefore recorded hadiths could not be treated as immutable legal documents. The aim of this book is to demonstrate the necessity of creating a new hadith science. |

| Title: The Emiriad |
| Sub-title: The Life And Deeds Of Mehmet, Emperor Of The Turks |
| By (author): Giovanni Mario Filelfo |
| ISBN10-13: 6256994035 : 9786256994034 |
| The year was 1453. Soon after he had conquered Constantinople, an event that would change the entire history of the East and West, the determined young Turkish Sultan/Emir Mehmet II, only 21 years old, victoriously entered the city. Among the captives was a Latin named Angelo Boldoni, Ambassador of Ancona, Italy. However, as soon as Mehmet learned that Boldoni was a relative of Othman Lillo Ferducci, the son of his father Murat II's close friend, Boldoni was released without ransom. Othman Ferducci's gratitude for Mehmet's generous gesture was expressed years later by his commissioning (and writing a Dedication to) an epic poem in praise of Mehmetâ s conquests and adventures, an epic in the tradition of the Aeneid, Iliad, and Odyssey. The commission was given to the poet Gian Mario Filelfo, biographer of Dante and son of one of the leading humanists of the Renaissance, Francesco Filelfo. And so Amyris, a poem of about five thousand lines, was completed in Italy in 1476.Amyris has remained in obscurity as a single manuscript copy, virtually a banned book, for centuries, perhaps because, unlike most other Western writings during the Renaissance, it is not wholly derogatory toward a Turkish and Muslim Sultan. Now, approximately 550 years after the poemâ s composition, Associate Professors Filiz Barın Akman and Beyazıt Akman publish annotated Turkish and English translations of the poem, together with comprehensive introductory chapters offering historical information, textual analysis, commentary and criticism. The Akmans are experts about the image of the Turks and Islam in Western literature and historiography. The translation from Latin into English poetry is by Mark Herman and Professor Emerita Ronnie Apter and the Turkish translation is by Ahmet Deniz AltunbaÅŸ. |

| Title: The Gates of Heaven |
| Sub-title: The Ottoman Empire Trilogy |
| By (author): Beyazit Akman |
| ISBN10-13: 6058109817 : 9786058109810 |
| It is 1492, and Andalusia is being destroyed the victims have no one to look to except for a Sultan a sea away. The Gates of Heaven is a work of historical fiction about the story of the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Andalusia and Ottoman Sultan Bayezid IIs humanitarian rescue of these victims of persecution from the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition. Set against the historical backdrop of the fall of Granada, Columbus voyage to the New World and the advent of the printing press, this epic novel brings to life a lesser known, yet no less important, episode in the history of the encounters between the Ottoman Empire and Europe in vivid detail. An epic tale of adventure from the Atlantic to the far reaches of the Mediterranean, The Gates of Heaven is also an ode to lost Andalusia and a tale of humanitarianism so often not heeded even in the twenty first century. |

| The SaljÅ"qnÄ ma, very probably penned between 1177 and 1186 by ZahÄ"r al-DÄ"n NÄ"shÄ pÅ"ri, is one of the main sources of the political, social an cultural events in the history of the The Great SaljÅ"q and the SaljÅ"q o Iraq. Dedicated to AbÅ" á¹¬Ä lÄ"b Ṭughril b. Arslan the last Iraqi Saljuq ruler (1177-1194), the work is the first known SaljÅ"qnÄ ma and a main referece for the historians studying the SaljÅ"q history, which makes the work extremely outstanding and notable.
