390 pages. In this landmark book, many of the best minds in "English Canada" set out their position and agenda vis-a-vis the Quebec crisis. They argue cogently for Canada's survival as a tolerant, purposeful, independent state, with or without Quebec. Brings a much needed dose of clarity and realism to the questions raised by Quebec's demands for greater powers and possible separation. Addresses possible solutions and looks at the processes of accommodation, renewal or separation. In so doing, it provides a crucial definition of "English Canada" today. Very light wear. Clean, bright and unmarked. Book

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Oblong 4to. (24 x 33 cm). In English and Turkish. [3], 344 p., many b/w and color photos, ills., and documents. 100 years later on the trail of a lost railway.= 100 yil sonra kayip bir demiryolunun izinde. Four curious men came together to tell the story of a lost railway in Istanbul. At first all they had were small trains a handful of coal and a breath of steam. Years passed and they learnt a great deal from the documents and albums they had found and from a fifth author of a notebook that had come from the past and joined them by chance. The small trains carrying coal to the heart of the city from a coal mine in the Black Sea coast of Istanbul, were not just heroes of a nostalgic tale. Behind the curtain we opened, there was a huge military project where 5000 people had worked once in sweat and tears. We do not recount anything more or less than what we saw. We wish that those who read the story and see the photos are able to come into contact with history with the same amazement admiration and pleasure that we have.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Oblong 4to. (27 x 28 cm). In English and Turkish. 219 p., ills. The Ottoman Empire, which, for centuries, had successfully ruled nations and communities of diverse ethnic origins and religious denominations under the same administrative system, was entering an irrevocable process of disintegration at the turn of the 20th century. Struggling to take precautionary steps against the pressures of the "New Nation States" that originated from the Balkans, which were openly supported by Russia, England, Austria and Greece, Sultan Abdulhamid II announced -out of despair and the fait accomplihe faced- the proclamation of the Second Constitution on 24 July 1908 to protect his throne, for he justifiably believed this to be the only solution to prevent, or at least delay the complete disintegration of the Empire. Sultan Abdulhamid II, who by then was nearing the 32nd year of his reign, was convinced that this was the sole measure to be taken to keep under control the power "Young Turk" movement, which increasingly evolved into a stronger force under the auspices of the "Committee of Union and Progress", had over the large masses. It was, on the other hand, impossible for the restoration of the 1876 Constitution and the implementation of a Constitutional regime based on a newly established parliament by way of elections, to provide viable solutions to the grander problems of the Empire. The upheaval instigated by the Islamic faction waging war against the Committee of Union and Progress and the counter- revolution attempt, which has come to be known as the "31 March Incident", ended when the Third Army stationed in Salonica arrived in Istanbul and seized control of the govemment. The deposition of Sultan Abdulhamid II on 27 April 1909 and the subsequent enthronement of the 65-year-old Sultan Mehmed Resad V meant, evidently, that the government of the Empire was now in the hands of the leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress. In the ensuing years, the rigours of the Balkan War and World War I compelled the Committee members, who adopted "Liberty - Justice - Fraternity and Equality" ideals as their slogan, to relinquish their pluralistic and democratic stance and pursue a nationalistic discourse, which, in turn, accelerated the run towards the inevitable end. The purpose of the catalogue and the exhibition we designed in commemoration of "The 400th Anniversary of the Restoration ofthe Constitution" is to draw attention to a tumultuous period that had significant repercussions on the Republic years. It is rather intriguing how, from books and posters to memorabilia, and even quotidian objects, masses of diverse religions and races expressed their yearning for and expectations from a more democratic regime. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Sinan Kuneralp, Prof. Edhem Eldem, Dr. Sacit Kutlu, David Barchard, Paul Bessemer and Sukru Ilicak, who all contributed to the exhibition catalogue with their valuable articles; to Mehmet Akgul, Atom Damali, Oktar Kubat, Ugur Yegin, Ugur Goktasli, Orlando Kalumeno, Roni Margulies and Ekrem Gocay, who made it possible for the works in their private archives and collections to be published in the catalogue and displayed in the exhibition; to Sadberk Hamin Museum Director Hulya Bilgi and her team; and to project coordinator Bahattin Oztuncay, with whom we collaborated on the selection of items included in the exhibition and the catalogue.

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (34 x 25 cm). In English and Turkish. 381 p. 101 letters to the sultan. Letter to the Ottomans.= Sultana 101 mektup. Osmanli'ya mektuplar. Letters, as a means of correspondence by the hands of political leaders, undoubtedly provide us with substantial information about the status of the state in the political arena, the foreign affairs the politicians run and about the significance that the state has in the eyes of the others. And the 101 letters covered in this work are shedding a bit of light upon the political tradition of the Ottomans, and the mutual relations they had with their counter part sete. We chose to give the summaries of the letters in two languages (Turkish-English) so that the range of benefit would be wider.
