One form that injustice takes is the systematic dispossession of peoples, for example, through forced migration, unemployment, homelessness, occupation, and conquest.

The threats arising from this have led to the development of different policies by certain institutions and individuals over the last forty years, especially the discussion of preventive measures. After the 1980s, researchers and planners working on the environment and environmental problems developed strategies for the \"sustainability\" of society and the environment. The first book in the series initiated by Istanbul Bilgi University Publications on this subject, \"Sustainable Society and Built Environment - A Spectrum of Strategies,\" written by İlhan Tekeli, a leading academician, and Anlı Ataöv, a young academician, examines different definitions of the concept of sustainability, how these definitions are transferred to planning practice, and proposes a method in this regard. Another important feature of the study is that it compiles various strategies applied worldwide for achieving sustainability and systematizes a spectrum of strategies based on the proposed method. The authors argue that the environmental awareness that has emerged worldwide today is open to diversity; they foresee that planners and designers have important duties in contributing to sustainability and that they should have a broad and inclusive vision for the change in people's lifestyles according to the requirements of environmental culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408963354819,"sku":"9786053994893","price":38.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786053994893.jpg?v=1616017375"},{"product_id":"kent-paryalari_350063-html","title":"City Fairs","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eUrban Outcasts comparatively examines, down to the finest detail, the structure, dynamics, and lived experiences of the dispossession process in the current fabric of the American \"Black Belt\" and France's \"Red Belt,\" which refers to working-class suburbs. Wacquant's primary aim here is to define and explain racial domination in the United States, as well as the institutional transformation undergone by the African-American ghetto caught in the wave of uprisings that swept through the metropolis in the 1960s. The second goal of his analysis is to distill elements for a sociological sketch of advanced marginality from the similarities and differences exhibited by America's \"hyperghettos\" and France's declining \"urban peripheries.\" What Wacquant means by advanced marginality is the new order in which social and spatial exile and exclusionary confinement emerge in post-Fordist cities as a result of the unequal development of capitalist economies and the shrinking of welfare states. Wacquant emphasizes that the deteriorating American ghetto of the early 90s and the French working-class suburbs are historical wholes and argues that they should not be artificially frozen within static typologies. For, according to Wacquant, the American ghetto and French working-class suburbs should not be viewed as self-sustaining structures outside the intersection of market, state, class, and ethnicity factors. According to Wacquant, these factors permeate the physical space, constantly weaving these neighborhoods. Wacquant's analysis provides an inventory of urban marginality and an assessment of the forces that shape it, thereby contributing to the historical sociology of our time.

The aim of this book is not to create empirical data on artworks or to develop an isolable concept of 'perception,' but to focus on the phenomenon of the observer, which is at least as problematic. Because the problem of the observer is, in fact, the field where vision is materialized in history, where it becomes visible itself.

Digitalization has given rise to a new sociology, so to speak, by creating a different form of human relationship and community. So much intelligence has been embedded in image technologies that we often get the feeling that images 'think'. Ron Burnett, who has extensive experience in communication technologies and design, takes a closer look at this new 'image ecology'. The author outlines how visual perception works and examines the new technologies that have made today's media possible, emphasizing their interactive and participatory functions and placing them in their historical context. Drawing on the insights provided by cognitive sciences into human consciousness, Burnett argues that images are at the center of many mysteries encountered in understanding the mind and body. He asserts that images, alongside language, play a fundamental role in the formation of human consciousness, and that any discussion about human culture and nature can no longer be fruitful without accounting for this role of images. We are publishing How Images Think with a preface written by the author specifically for the Turkish edition, addressing the developments in visual technologies over the past few years. It is a must-read book not only for those working or studying in fields that process visual information, such as design and cinema, but also for anyone who wishes to make sense of the bombardment of images they are constantly exposed to from their television and computer, and to use them in alternative ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409050648771,"sku":"9789753426237","price":445.5,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753426237.jpg?v=1616018396"},{"product_id":"akdeniz-mekan-tarih-insanlar-ve-miras","title":"The Mediterranean: Place, History, Peoples, and Heritage","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"\" data-url=\"\" data-text=\"\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"\"\u003eIn addition to Braudel's articles, the book, which includes contributions from specialist historians Roger Arnaldez, Maurice Aymard, Jean Gaudemet, Piergiorgio Solinas, and Georges Duby, was previously published in past years as two separate volumes under the titles \"Space and History\" and \"People and Heritage\";

Levent Yılmaz depicts this threshold, this rupture in Western history, with small, subtle brushstrokes: How did Western societies take their first steps into History? Into History—that is, into creating distance with the past, a sense of the fullness of the present, and the activity of planning and organizing the future? How did Western societies manage to break away from the belief that everything that happens is destiny, that the future is actually a reflection of the past, that history is merely repetition, and that tradition and proverbs are the truest guides?

Contributors to the book conduct transnational inquiry focusing on specific geographical regions, investigating the intellectual and practical problems created by radical groups, movements, and organizations. The authors focus on how extremist religious practices belonging to Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism contribute to the reproduction of global urban space. Their work demonstrates that viewing religious conservatism or doctrines as the primary cause of urban terror and violence is a very dangerous reduction.

While the replacement of manual laborers, whom we categorize as 'workers' on construction sites, by university graduates points to a near future, how it will take shape is unknown. However, symptoms such as educational disappointments, excessive gaming, obesity, and over-reliance on drugs are sabotaging men today. As is known, construction sites are extremely dynamic and stressful work environments. 'In stressful situations, many of us re-organize our understanding of what is happening to protect our self-perception.' It has been observed that the sabotage of the dominant male population employed on construction sites by technology and the re-organization of understandings are rapidly reducing the number of qualified male workers to be employed on construction sites. For these reasons, technological tools and equipment will be able to maintain the number of people to be employed on construction sites at a certain balance. The most important breaking point of this balance will be the perspective of construction sites using technological tools and equipment towards the human element.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"YEM Yayın","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48398908129523,"sku":"9786257008495","price":280.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/YEM_INSA_ETME_KULTURU_ON_KAPAK.jpg?v=1641988838"},{"product_id":"asiri-metalasma-caginda-konutu-savunmak","title":"Defending Housing in an Age of Hyper-Commodification","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, all major cities in the world are experiencing a housing crisis.

She emphasizes the fragility of Beyoğlu's demographic structure, which has been reshaped by each wave of migration, receiving its share from the development of eclectic nationalist thought that inevitably feeds on creating an enemy but ultimately takes on another form, from discussions on locality-universality, and from the profitability calculations of capital and profit centers, without falling into the traps of anti-modernist founding nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Taksim Garden to Gardenbar, from Narmanlı Han to Lebon, from Cumhuriyet Meyhanesi to Mısır Apartment, from Maya Art Gallery to AKM, and finally from Sefahathane to Kemancı, an exercise in urban memory in the light of countless places, memories, and testimonies...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sel Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42634330079475,"sku":"9786257370677","price":300.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/0001968733001-1.jpg?v=1649243745"},{"product_id":"kus-evleri-bird-houses","title":"Birdhouses","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eİnsanın cümle yaratılmışla\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edengede,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esevgi ilişkisinde olması\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003egünümüzde\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eher zamankinden daha\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eönemliyken,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebunca sevgisizliğe,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebunca yalnızlığa, bunca\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eyabancılaşmaya itilişimiz neden?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHiçbir çıkar gözetmeksizin,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eyalnızca karşısındakini\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ekorumak istediğinden doğan\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“kuş evleri” üzerinde\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edüşünmek bize kimi\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eunuttuklarımızı\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eanımsatabilir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e…………………..\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile it is all the more\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eimportant today that man\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eshould be in harmony and in\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elove with all the living\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecreatures in the world, why\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis it that we find ourselves\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esuffering so much from\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elack of affection, from\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eloneliness, and alienation?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePondering on “Bird-houses”,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewhose sole reason for existence was\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eman’s willingness to protect\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eother creatures, might be\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehelpful in reminding us\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esome of the values we have\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eforgotten about.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arkeoloji ve Sanat Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42640996958451,"sku":"9786053961758","price":45.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/51nCxtHsvZL.jpg?v=1649410443"},{"product_id":"yagma-ulkenin-mimari","title":"Pillage Nation's Architect","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLately, we’ve been inundated with “mega-projects,” luxurious residential complexes, and skyscrapers erected in urban green spaces, water basins, and stream beds—structures so impactful they can even alter the effects of wind and sun. One might imagine that those who constructed these flimsy buildings, which could collapse with a mere breath, are gone, replaced by intelligent builders who work scientifically and honestly. But no, that’s not the case... Those who filled our cities with buildings that could crumble at any moment are still constructing them today, due to prevailing circumstances. Do not be deceived by their appearance and adornments. Just like people, buildings can be very different from what they seem. Profiteering knows no religion, faith, sect, or nationality. It is sweet! It disregards nature, history, culture, and humanity. We should have explained this industry to everyone—an industry where, driven by the greed for profit, nature and history are plundered mercilessly, and people are deliberately killed every day. And we should have done so urgently, especially now, when skyscrapers—mostly built disgracefully, solely out of greed for money—are in vogue, and when it’s unknown how, with what tools and machinery, a fire would be extinguished, or how people would escape in an earthquake.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Belge Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42641005707507,"sku":"9789753442091","price":176.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/0000000445562-1.jpg?v=1649410647"},{"product_id":"sabir-ile-koruk-2008","title":"Sabır ile Koruk 2008","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe new generation of Westerners, whose ability to provide a humane living environment for the future has not even been determined in their own countries, are presented as \"idols\" to our youth.
