This book looks at uniforms, rank-system, and organization for a new type of Turkish Soldier, other than Janissary providing the main Soldier-type during the French Revolution, and Early Napoleonic Wars. Debut of the Levend Chiftlik Regiment in 1799, during the French siege of Acre, and in the British-Turkish campaign in Egypt to expel the French occupation, introduced the Nizam-i Cedid: New Order Army. Having its beginning as part of the reforms of Sultan Selim III (1789 till 1807), several Anatolian Infantry Regiments, a Field Artillery Regiment, and two Galeonjees: New Order Army Marine Regiments came into existence. The book also covers Arnaut: Albanian Infantry; late-18th Century Turkish Generalship and Officers' command; Standing Army's tactics; New Order Army Infantry Soldier's weapons and equipment; and, the 1806 till 1807 events leading to the New Order Army's suppression and demise of Sultan Selim III.
The Ottoman Empire, spanning over six centuries from its inception in the early 14th century to its dissolution in the aftermath of World War I, remains an enduring testament to the might and cultural richness of one of history's most influential empires. This remarkable realm, rooted in Anatolia and expanding to encompass vast swaths of Europe, Asia, and Africa, left an indelible mark on the world, leaving behind a legacy of power and culture that continues to captivate and inspire.At the zenith of its power, the Ottoman Empire was a juggernaut, wielding formidable military might and diplomatic finesse. Its armies conquered iconic cities like Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul, in 1453, marking a pivotal moment in history. Under the leadership of dynamic sultans such as Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottomans extended their dominion from Vienna in the west to Baghdad in the east, imprinting their rule on diverse peoples and regions. Their military prowess and strategic alliances kept European powers and neighboring empires in awe and fear.Yet, the Ottoman Empire was not just about military conquests. It was a crucible of culture, art, and innovation. It absorbed and synthesized influences from the Byzantine, Persian, Arab, and European worlds, giving birth to a distinctive Ottoman culture. Its architecture, exemplified by the grandeur of the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, showcased intricate tile work and exquisite design. The Ottomans fostered a thriving literary tradition, producing iconic poets like Rumi and Hafez. Their calligraphy and miniature painting flourished, while their cuisine, with dishes like kebabs and baklava, became legendary.Religious tolerance was a hallmark of the Ottoman Empire, where Christians, Jews, and Muslims coexisted, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Ottoman society. The devshirme system, which recruited talented individuals from non-Muslim communities into the elite Janissary corps, exemplified this inclusive approach.The Ottoman Empire's legacy is felt in the modern Middle East, Balkans, and Anatolia, where its borders and institutions still shape the political landscape. Its cultural influences have reverberated through time, impacting music, art, and cuisine far beyond its borders.In conclusion, the Ottoman Empire's enduring legacy of power and culture is a testament to its profound impact on the course of history. Its conquests and innovations continue to inspire and educate, reminding us of the remarkable fusion of strength and sophistication that defined this remarkable empire.
Ela! Ela! is a collection of recipes and stories from cook and food writer Ella Mittas. Inspired by her time working in a village in the mountains of Crete and the hot, loud streets of Istanbul, as well as her Greek heritage, they represent a journey of food, culture and belonging. These simple, comforting recipes are a mix of things Ella saw, ate and was taught on her travels, though years of cooking them have made them something more her own. Above all, they represent community – the reason Ella ever wanted to cook at all.
What remains and becomes Armenian in a historically informed moment of increased mobility? Taking an anthropological approach with ethnographic data collected from Turkey and Armenia over the course of almost 10 years, this book focuses on themes of migration, human movement, community-making and the conditions that facilitate mobility and place-making. Looking at case studies ranging from bus and taxi drivers travelling between Armenia and Turkey to undocumented migrants deported from Turkey and now living in Armenian cities and Armenian residents of Istanbul, the author provides a vivid description of contemporary non-Muslim life in Turkey through the lives of Armenian Turkish citizens and undocumented migrants from Armenia, as well as Greek, Jewish and Kurdish communities. The author provides both a critical account of how historical and more contemporary forms of violence and structural discrimination have targeted Armenians in the country, and also focuses on the re-articulations and the appropriation of a sense of belonging by these and other minority communities.
"Hittite Anatolia Ceramics and Villages" is a captivating journey into the world of Central Anatolian Iron Age pottery, a mystery that emerged from the pages of Herman Genz's groundbreaking 2005 article, 'Thoughts on the Origin of the Iron Age Pottery in Central Anatolia.' This enigma revolves around the unexpected resemblance between the painted Iron Age pottery of Central Anatolia, dating to a period after the collapse of the Hittite civilization (post-1200 BC), and the pottery from the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) and Early Bronze Age (EBA) periods (pre-1700 BC). This resemblance is perplexing, considering that the EBA/MBA painted ceramic traditions appeared to vanish with the rise of the Hittite state and its more standardized, unpainted ceramic tradition. The central question that echoes through the ages is: How did a distinctive painted ceramic tradition disappear, only to re-emerge after a hiatus of 500 years?

Highlights Türkiye's biological anthropology research, featuring diverse topics and methodologies in human evolution and behavior.People of Anatolia: Past, Current and Future Research in the Biological Anthropology of Türkiye brings together, in one complete volume, some of the current research foci and trends of biological anthropology in Türkiye. The papers within this edited volume cover a multitude of topics, many of which complement and enhance each other, helping to demonstrate the strength and variety of research currently being performed in Türkiye by both domestic and foreign researchers. Furthermore, several of these papers examine large scale diachronic changes and highlight the importance of such holistic approaches and methodological considerations, and new trends in modern research by considering large scale patterns through time and space and the 'bigger' picture. For example, the application of multiple, more traditional macroscopic, biological anthropological analyses in conjunction with more modern techniques, such as biomolecular analyses.Biological anthropology in Türkiye has developed markedly since the days of primarily analyzing skeletal and dental morphometrics of the skeleton and investigating race. This is particularly true since the 1990s when studies have examined skeletal remains from Anatolia within wider bioarchaeological contexts and research questions. Research agendas have accelerated particularly in the last decade with the introduction and application of new methodologies, including quantifiable scientific techniques which has increased the ability to not only tackle existing and earlier research questions with more specificity and in more depth, but also enables us to tackle a greater variety of research questions, as well as stimulating new ones.This volume demonstrates how complementary, as well as large-scale diachronic studies enhance our knowledge not only of changes in human behavior and human-environment interactions through time, but also how these changes affected people at the individual, population, regional and pan-regional levels. One of the key messages from this edited volume, as a whole, is that multi-faceted and holistic approaches to exploring particular research agendas are both important and essential. While the individual papers in this volume may not necessarily always employ a multi-faceted or holistic approach, the combined reading of them does so. The types of data and information contained in the papers of this edited volume, therefore, will be of great interest and importance to the wider archaeological community in general. But particularly to Turkish students of archaeology, as well as Turkish/Türkiye-based and research focused archaeologists and specialists of biological anthropology and bioarchaeology and its sub-disciplines.
"Oæguz Atay (1934-1977), one of the most influential figures of 20th century Turkish literature, was not only a writer and a professor, but also a civil engineer. Aside from his widely acclaimed novels, in this book of collected stories, Atay engineers the language of a historically multilayered society that was in the midst of a cultural and political transition. By smoothly mending the autobiographical and the fictional, he invites the reader into a maze of seamlessly shifting narrative voices"--
