    Routledge | October 2000 | ISBN: 0415165938 | 280 pages | PDF | 6 MB (including bonus PPT presentation in RAR file)

    David Bomgardner traces the origins and development of that most typical and evocative of Roman monuments, the amphitheatre. He shows that they played a central role in the social and political life of ancient Rome and looks further at their origins, the form the spectacles took and their decline and final fall in the late empire. With a detailed examination of the Colosseum, as well as case studies of significant sites from Italy, Gaul, Spain and Roman North Africa, the book is a fascinating gazetteer for the general reader as well as a valuable tool for students and academics.

    The Sultan Speaks: Dialogue in English Plays and Histories about the Ottoman Turks

    The Sultan Speaks: Dialogue in English Plays and Histories about the Ottoman Turks

    The Sultan Speaks: Dialogue in English Plays and Histories about the Ottoman Turks by Linda McJannet
    Palgrave Macmillan | October 2006 | ISBN: 1403974268 | 256 pages | PDF | 5.25 MB

    The Sultan Speaks is the first study of English historical plays about the Turks in relation to their sources and analogues, including histories originating in Greek, Arabic, and Turkish. Drawing on Bakhtin’s concept of the dialogic and on narrative theory, McJannet traces the transmission of these eastern sources and analyzes Richard Knolles’s citation of the “Turks’ own chronicles,” the historiographic equivalent of letting the sultan speak. She demonstrates that while the historians increasingly contain the sultan’s words with adverse authorial commentary, playwrights such as Marlowe and Fulke Greville use both dialogue and commentary to enhance the sultan’s stature and to mitigate his negative acts.

    Spectra | March 2005 | ISBN: 0553587439 | 384 pages | PDF | 5.5 MB

    Part mystery, part speculative fiction, and wholly unforgettable, Jon Courtenay Grimwood’s celebrated Arabesk series portrays the dark, hard-boiled story of a man out to prove his innocence in an alternate world where the facts aren’t always the same as the truth . . . and murder isn’t the worst that can happen. It’s a twenty-first century that is hauntingly familiar to —and yet startlingly different from our own. Here the United States brokered a deal that ended World War I, and the Ottoman Empire never collapsed. And lording it over all sits the complex, seductive, and bloodthirsty North African metropolis of El Iskandryia. Almost nothing is what it seems to be in El Isk, and Ashraf Bey is no exception.

    The Young Turks in Opposition (Studies in Middle Eastern History)

    The Young Turks in Opposition (Studies in Middle Eastern History) by M. Sukru Hanioglu
    Oxford University Press, USA | March 1995 | ISBN: 0195091159 | 408 pages | PDF | 22.8 MB

    In 1908, the revolution of the Young Turks deposed the dictatorship of Sultan Abdulhamid II and established a constitutional regime that became the major ruling power in the Ottoman empire. But the seeds of this revolution went back much farther: to 1889, when the secret Young Turk organization the Committee of Union and Progress was formed. M. Sukru Hanioglu's landmark work is the story of the power struggles within the CUP and its impact on twentieth-century Turkish politics and culture. An in-depth history of an ideological movement as well as a study of the diplomatic relationships between the Ottoman Empire and the so-called great powers of Europe at the turn of the century, it analyzes the influence of European political thought on the CUP conspirators, and traces their influence on generations of Turkish intellectual and political life.

    Turkey: Challenges of Continuity and Change (Contemporary Middle East Series) by M. Benli Altunisik and Ozlem Tur
    RoutledgeCurzon | January 2005 | ISBN: 0415287103 | 224 pages | PDF | 5.1 MB

    Turkey is generally perceived as deeply divided between the secular, Westernized elite and the Muslim population, with the latter involved in a constant struggle to resist the modernization process imposed by the elite. This book argues that Turkey's history is much more complex than this stereotype allows, where neither the elite nor the public are monoliths existing in total opposition to each other. The authors provide a concise and accessible introduction to contemporary Turkey from a social science perspective. It will be essential reading for students and researchers of political science, social science and the Middle East, as well as for those with a general interest in Turkey.

    Turkey's relations with an enlarging European Union have long been hit by recurrent crises and problems of adjustment within internal domestic politics as well as from an external, international relations perspective.

The issues examined include the history behind Turkey's application for EU membership as the contributors tackle the thorny issues of Cyprus, Turkey's attitude towards a common defence policy and Turkish parliamentarians' views on the nation's relations with the European Union among others.

This collection is the fruit of their researches, presented for the first time in one unified volume.
