Through more than nine centuries of shifting borders, environmental change, and political evolution, Turkey has been a cultural melting pot and a nation-state bent on ethnic unity. It has seen conquest and reform, appeals to tradition and calls to modernize. It has been a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and more, and it has aggressively pursued both secularization and Islamization.Built on the foundations of the Ottoman Empire-the most enduring, and perhaps the most important, Islamic empire in history-Turkey's long, complex history is beset by political and religious turmoil. But the country's national story also illuminates a rich culture developed over thousands of years, reflecting culinary diversity, artisan craftsmanship, and architectural achievement.In this concise yet nuanced overview, historian Benjamin Fortna examines Turkey's complex trajectory from ancient Byzantine civilization to modern republic, through to the present-day leadership by the populist, authoritarian President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In just 250 pages, Fortna reveals how opposing visions of Turkey have shaped its national identity and its people-and its place in contemporary history. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.

From the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic

The Shortest History of Turkey

'An absolute gem. Dark, funny and iconoclastic' THE TIMES 'Razor-sharp and deeply unsettling while being endlessly entertaining. A triumph.' JENNIE GODFREY, author of THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS 'A delicious, literary feast. A wickedly funny and sharply relevant novel of duplicity and betrayal with a glittering cast of literary greats.' ANNA MAZZOLA, author of THE BOOK OF SECRETS 'A masterful novel, OBJECTS OF DESIRE is utterly irresistible; it's dark and wickedly fun. One of my favourite books of the year so far.' FLORA CARR, author of THE TOWER 'A biting, unflinching study of art and deceit . . . Neil Blackmore has achieved his best work yet.' ANNIE GARTHWAITE, author of CECILY *** Hugo Hunter was the most celebrated gay novelist of the 20th century. He published two masterpieces, securing his place alongside the dazzling literary greats of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Truman Capote to James Baldwin, Gore Vidal and George Orwell.But after decades of fame and excess, just as New York City enters the 1980s and awakes to the coming horror of AIDS, Hugo finds himself running out of money. Out of nowhere, he receives an extraordinary lifeline: an offer from his longtime publisher. Two million dollars, for a memoir and a new novel. The money will solve all his problems - except for one thing. Hugo Hunter is an imposter. He stole both of his novels. Now, how far will he go to produce a third? At once dark, moving and deliciously vicious, OBJECTS OF DESIRE traverses the 20th century, featuring an astonishing cast of characters. It is both a colourful glimpse into the lives of the cultural elite, and a tense, gripping story of betrayal, deceit, and literary fraud. *** Praise for Neil Blackmore 'An astounding story . . . I relished every page.' SIR IAN McKELLAN 'One of the most original voices in historical fiction today.' THE TIMES 'Compellingly real.' DAILY MAIL

Schriftenreihe des Hamburgischen Architekturarchivs

Wie könnte Hamburg aussehen, wenn ... Das Buch stellt rund 35 nicht realisierte, zum Teil spektakuläre Entwürfe und Projektvisionen vor. Lang erwarteter Nachfolgeband des legendären Titels von 1991 der Hamburger Architektenkammer, der vertane Chancen, aber auch vereitelte Bausünden der letzten Jahrzehnte thematisiert.

From an acclaimed architect and investigator, a devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza 'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉ Eyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable. Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide. Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . ."Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." —GARRARD CONLEY"Big-hearted and inspired." —STEVEN ROWLEY"Funny, surprising, profound." —GRANT GINDER"Unputdownable." —LUNA MCNAMARALess meets the year 1300 in this exhilarating and thoughtfully genre-defying literary novel about a man transported through time in a moment of extreme stress, whose modern anxieties are replaced by medieval brutalitiesNewly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300.When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.George Falls Through Time is as much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.

Secret Glasgow: A beautiful garden inside a hospital, a staircase once celebrated by Einstein, the remains of a workhouse and a Roman wall, a lost burn and a reminder of the Spanish Civil War, a stranded column in the Clyde and a Celtic gravestone, a derelict railway platform, a stone that flew over the Irish Sea, the burial place of a Scot who became an American hero and mysterious etchings on a cathedral wall ... 

Glasgow is full of hidden treasures that many residents go past without realising their significance. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who thought they knew the city well but would like to discover its hidden face.

Marking the fortieth anniversary of Please, the duo's first album release, the instant Sunday Times bestseller Pet Shop Boys Volume presents their entire visual output to date in a contemporary literary format. Pet Shop Boys - Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - are the most successful duo in the history of pop music. Three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees, they have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, including No. 1 hits such as 'West End girls', 'It's a sin', and 'Always on my mind', and platinum-selling albums Please, Actually, and Very. Uniquely spanning the worlds of music, art, film, theatre, design, and fashion, Pet Shop Boys have forged an identity as unforgettable as their sound. From the seminal graphic design of their record sleeves to their groundbreaking videos and innovative stage shows, they have set the bar for the visual presentation of pop. Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the release of their first album in 1986, Pet Shop Boys Volume is the definitive retrospective of the duo's career. Expanding upon Pet Shop Boys Catalogue, published two decades ago, it presents their entire visual output to date, year by year. Sleeve artworks and packaging, stills from every video, film, and performance, stage sets and costume designs, photoshoots, publications, and even Christmas cards all feature, as does every collaboration with luminaries including Mark Farrow, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, Bruce Weber, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Derek Jarman, Scott King, Zaha Hadid, Tom Scutt, and Es Devlin. Concise commentaries by Chris Heath and Philip Hoare provide illuminating insights into the genesis of each project. Hoare's original introduction is accompanied by a new introduction from Libby Sellers who considers the importance of Pet Shop Boys within the history of design, while a new foreword by Jeremy Deller reflects on the enduring impact of their music and image. With a jacket designed by Farrow and a new conversation between Heath, Tennant, and Lowe, Pet Shop Boys Volume is a visual feast and a sumptuous tribute to four decades of creative innovation.

A timely, practical guide to AI—its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications—for business professionals and policymakers. Artificial intelligence, or AI, can recognize a pattern from any set of data it is given, which is what makes it such an extraordinarily powerful tool. But because not all patterns are authentic or reliable, AI's pattern-finding superpower can lead to spurious patterns—and to disastrous results for business and government entities that rely on them. Hence the conundrum at the heart of AI: its greatest strength can also be its greatest weakness. Targeting the businessperson who needs to know how to use AI profitably and responsibly, Caleb Briggs and Rex Briggs offer in this book a foundational understanding of AI that is easy to grasp yet thorough enough to be used effectively.

Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory
 blickt auf die ersten zehn Ausgaben des seit 2015 in der spanischen Stadt Logroño stattfindenden Design- und Architektur-Festivals Concéntrico zurück. Dieses fördert als innovatives Laboratorium die Suche nach neuen kreativen Wegen und trägt dazu bei, Architektur und Design zur Stärkung von Gemeinschaft einzusetzen und den Dialog zwischen Praktizierenden und der Gesellschaft zu beleben und zu fördern.
 Das Buch bildet in höchst visueller Weise und mit kurzen, konzisen Texten den internationalen Diskurs zur Bedeutung von Architektur und Design im 21. Jahrhundert ab, der über die bisherigen Ausgaben von Concéntrico entstanden ist. Es zeigt anhand von für das Festival entstandenen Entwürfen und Konzepten von 80 Architekt:innen, Designer:innen und Künstler:innen aus 20 Ländern sinnvolle Möglichkeiten auf, um sich mit drängenden urbanen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen - von Identität und Kulturerbe bis hin zu Zeitweiligkeit, Kollektivität, Ökologie, Spiel und Wohnlichkeit. Eingeleitet und zusammengehalten wird das Ganze durch ein Gespräch zwischen den beiden Herausgebern Javier Peña Ibáñez und Nick Axel über Kontext und Entwicklung des Concéntrico Festivals und dem dabei zusammengetragenen Wissen.
