One of them is, of course, the world's biggest traveller Evliya Çelebi (1611-1682) The other one is the symbol of the conquest of Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, which this traveller desciribed in his Seyahatname (the book of Travel) as "the Mecca of Christians". Both are full of mysteries; both have been researched a lot, written a lot and told a lot. And there is also that Evliya Celebi tells about Hagia Sophia in a more different way than anyone else has done. To read Seyyah-i Alem's (The Traveller of the World) Seyahatname means to ben friends with our great traveller prior to 400 years, to make a journey to that and previosu period.

626 pages. Glossary. "Highlights from the State of Competition in the Canadian Petroleum Industry - the government report that alleges monopoly practices by Canada's big oil companies." - from front cover. "Compiled from the more than 135,000 secret oil company documents that were seized by government investigators in raids between 1973 and 1978.... Shows that the oil companies purposely restricted competition, worked together to keep prices and profits up, and sacrificed Canadian interests when they were told to do so by their foreign parents." - from back cover. Considering that Esso sounds eerily like an acronym for the Rockefeller's Standard Oil (S.O.) readers of this work will also surely be interested in the early writings of Ida Tarbell and her revelations about the methods of that company and its founder, J.D. Rockefeller. Has anything changed? Book
