Summary

Founding of Turkey explores the transformation of Anatolia from ancient times through the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire to the establishment of the modern Turkish Republic. The book traces the ebb and flow of empires, including the Byzantine and Seljuk, and the profound impact of religious conversion on the region's social and legal systems. It investigates how Turkish national identity emerged during the late Ottoman period, culminating in the Turkish War of Independence led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Uniquely, this book emphasizes the conscious effort to break from the past while preserving cultural heritage.

 
The book presents a chronological narrative, starting with pre-Ottoman civilizations and meticulously detailing the Ottoman Empire’s expansion and decline. It examines critical events such as the Tanzimat Reforms and the Young Turk Revolution, leading to World War I and its aftermath. The analysis challenges simplistic views of Turkish history, highlighting the agency of Turkish nationalists in shaping their destiny.

 
Understanding Turkey's past is crucial for interpreting its current geopolitical role and internal dynamics.

    The Catholic Church has always had regard for the spiritual and pastoral welfare of those in the military and for centuries priests have ministered to armed forces personnel in war and in peace.
    
     
    Chaplains have served and continue to serve all branches of the British armed forces. The size and organization of the military and the nature of warfare has been transformed, but the chaplain’s vocation remains unchanged. Defend Us In Battle traces the growth and development of Catholic chaplaincy to British armed forces from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century.
    
     
    Taking as its starting point the emergence of a recognized system of military chaplaincy established by the Society of Jesus in Reformation Europe, this wide-ranging survey considers the ministry of chaplains through succeeding centuries. It relates the struggles that Catholic soldiers and sailors endured with British officialdom before being granted their own chaplains.
    
     
    Defend Us In Battle describes the ministry of priests who over the centuries and across the world have voluntarily provided Catholic service personnel with the solace of religion far away from home and frequently in danger. There emerges a powerful narrative of priestly service not always known or recognized by those outside the military.

    The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. It functioned as a sacred precinct that contained the city’s most important religious and municipal structures, many of which have remained relatively intact for over 2,000 years. The Propylaea (the gateway to the Acropolis), the Parthenon (the principal shrine to the goddess), the Erechtheion (a shrine that supposedly houses the burial grounds of mythical Athenian kings), and the Temple of Athena Nike all survive to this day, and for these reasons, the Acropolis is perhaps the definitive and most eloquent expression of classical architecture, if not of the classical form itself. The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens.  
    	The center of political and commercial interaction in the Ancient Greek polis was the agora. The word essentially means a gathering place or an open space, and in all Greek city states, the agora was central to all aspects of daily life and commerce. As the agora developed as a civic space, particularly from the 6th century B.C. onward in Athens, the architectural splendor of the buildings associated with it became an ever more obvious demonstration of the power and glory of Athenian democracy. 	In its earliest forms, an agora in maritime cities was invariably situated near the sea, while in inland urban centers, it was usually located at the foot of the hill that normally provided the city’s ultimate defense. The agora was always the oldest part of any city and, as such, and as well as being the commercial hub of the area, also became the center of the religious and political life of the polis.

    A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
     
     
     
    First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
     
     
     
    This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.

    When educators are challenged to address problem student behaviors, the question in their minds should never be "What's the right punishment?" Instead, this book describes the benefits to both teachers and students of using a relational discipline approach. The author draws on deep experiences as a teacher, coach, and school principal to show how discipline done right can help students to grow in self-management and responsibility. Frank shares guidelines that have already helped hundreds of grateful teachers to avoid the frustration and discouragement that often occur when working with student misbehavior. Featuring enlightening stories and situation-specific strategies, Non-Punitive School Discipline will help K–12 teachers, school administrators, and support staff experience the satisfaction that can come when students grow in positive ways.
