Turkey - Culture Smart!
Charlotte McPherson • 2022
Don't just see the sights— get to know the people. At first glance, Turkey may seem Westernized and entirely "modern"— but appearances can be misleading. It is above all a land of contrasts, a heady mixture of Oriental etiquette and ultramodern city life, deep-rooted religious faith and determined secularism, a fierce sense of national pride and openness to foreign ideas. The Turkish people are very much their own center of gravity, and for the unwary visitor there are pitfalls to avoid as well as great riches to be found. Culture Smart! Turkey is an invaluable guide to the intricate ins and outs of this culturally rich and complex society. This updated edition outlines the complex history of Anatolia, provides key insights into contemporary Turkish values and attitudes, describes important customs and traditions, and reveals what life is like for the Turks at home, at work, and at play. It also offers practical tips and information about what to expect and how to navigate different social situations. In this unique mix of Islamic and European cultures, the Turks are extremely hospitable. If you show an interest in their culture and respect for their point of view, they will repay your effort many times over. Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
El Imperio Otomano: La historia y el legado del Imperio Transcontinental que dominó Europa Oriental y Medio Oriente durante casi 500 años (Spanish Edition)
Charles River Editors • 2018
En términos de geopolítica, quizás el acontecimiento más importante de la Edad Media fue el exitoso asedio otomano a Constantinopla en 1453. La ciudad había sido una capital imperial ya en el siglo IV, cuando Constantino el Grande cambió el centro de poder del Imperio Romano, estableciendo efectivamente dos mitades casi igualmente poderosas del imperio más grande de la antigüedad. Constantinopla seguiría siendo la capital del Imperio Bizantino incluso después de que la mitad occidental del Imperio Romano se derrumbara a finales del siglo V. Naturalmente, el Imperio Otomano también usaría a Constantinopla como capital de su imperio después de que su conquista terminara efectivamente con el Imperio Bizantino, y gracias a su ubicación estratégica, ha sido un centro comercial durante años y sigue siendo uno de ellos hoy en día bajo el nombre turco de Estambul. <br> El fin del Imperio Bizantino tuvo un profundo efecto no sólo en el Medio Oriente sino también en Europa. Constantinopla había jugado un papel crucial en las Cruzadas, y la caída de los bizantinos significó que los otomanos ahora compartían frontera con Europa. El imperio islámico fue visto como una amenaza por el continente predominantemente cristiano en el oeste, y tomó poco tiempo para que diferentes naciones europeas empezaran a chocar con los poderosos turcos. De hecho, los otomanos chocarían con rusos, austríacos, venecianos, polacos y más, antes de colapsar como resultado de la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando formaban parte de los poderes centrales. <br> Durante el período que precedió a su colapso, el Imperio Otomano estuvo en el corazón de una creciente rivalidad entre dos de las potencias globales rivales de la época, Inglaterra y Francia. Ambas potencias afirmaron su influencia sobre un imperio en declive, cuya historia está anclada tanto en Europa como en Asia. Sin embargo, mientras que las dos potencias fueron instrumentales en la derrota final y el colapso del Imperio Otomano, su postura hacia lo que llegó a conocerse como la "Cuestión Oriental" - el destino del Imperio Otomano - no es de clara enemistad. Tanto Inglaterra como Francia encontraron, a veces, razones para prolongar la vida del enfermo europeo hasta que finalmente se pusieron de parte de sus enemigos comunes. La postura de Rusia hacia el Imperio Otomano es mucho más clara; las crecientes potencias asiáticas y europeas vieron a los otomanos como un rival, que se esforzaron por contener, dividir y finalmente destruir durante más de 300 años en una serie de guerras contra su viejo adversario. <br> Por último, pero no menos importante, el surgimiento del nacionalismo entre los pueblos bajo dominación otomana fue un factor clave en la disolución del imperio. A finales del siglo XIX, poco antes de su colapso final, el territorio del Imperio Otomano disminuyó debido a la creciente demanda de independencia proveniente de diferentes etnias que gobernó durante cientos de años. La inclusividad del Imperio, que lo marcó como sucesor directo del Imperio Bizantino, fue ciertamente desafiada por un viejo liderazgo. La incapacidad del Imperio Otomano para crear una identidad compartida, un Estado central débil y las crecientes disensiones internas fueron algunos de los principales factores que explicaron su larga desaparición. Tal fracaso también explica la necesidad de crear una nueva forma de identidad, que en última instancia fue provista por Mustafá Kemal, el padre fundador de la Turquía moderna. <br> En general, la historia de la disolución puede definirse como una carrera entre la creciente "enfermedad" del Imperio por un lado (la incapacidad del otomano para apaciguar y federar a las diversas personas dentro de su territorio), y los constantes intentos de encontrar una cura en forma de amplias reformas.
Breve historia de Turquía
Norman Stone • 2012
Norman Stone, profundo conocedor del país en el que lleva viviendo más de quince años, conduce al lector a través de la compleja historia de Turquía, desde la llegada de los selyúcidas a Anatolia en el siglo XI hasta la república del XXI. Se trata de una exposición de proporciones épicas en la que tienen cabida algunos de los principales protagonistas de la historia de occidente y oriente como Genghis Khan, el sultán Suleimán o Atatürk, liberador y fundador de la Turquía moderna, republicana y secular que hoy conocemos. A lo largo de seiscientos años, Turquía ha estado en el centro del Imperio otomano, la superpotencia que llevó el Islam a las puertas de Viena y lo expandió hasta el norte de África, el Golfo Pérsico y las orillas del río Volga. Stone desgrana las causas del auge y caída del imperio Otomano, así como el protagonismo que ha tenido en los últimos siglos en las pugnas entre las grandes potencias por su importancia geoestratégica, sin pasar por alto temas controvertidos como el genocidio armenio. Además, el libro analiza con agudeza el último periodo de su historia y el surgimiento de la República turca, que prosigue en la eterna encrucijada de su identidad nacional a caballo entre oriente y occidente, el secularismo y la religión, la modernidad y la tradición.
Estambul otomano
Juan Goytisolo • 2015
Crisol de civilizaciones y gozne geográfico entre Oriente y Occidente, Estambul es el auténtico corazón de Turquía, y la impronta del Imperio otomano, que se remansa a lo largo de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, es su soberbio legado para la cultura universal, a cuya fascinada contemplación y vivencia han acudido y siguen acudiendo escritores y curiosos viajeros de todos los confines del mundo.<br/>Juan Goytisolo, con su pasión y maestría literaria características, abre en canal la sociedad del Estambul otomano ―de sultanes a jenízaros―, apegada tenazmente a las tradiciones, igualitaria y móvil, y nos da a conocer sus creencias, tradiciones y costumbres, desde su profundo amor a la naturaleza hasta sus rituales de tránsito, desde el hammam hasta el mazarlik, pasando por el Gran Bazar y los caravanserrallos. Asistimos, pues, a la exaltación y reivindicación de una sociedad mucho más libre de lo que se nos ha hecho creer, y sin cuya versatilidad cultural y artística sería imposible entender la literatura y las artes occidentales.
Breve historia de Turquía
Mac Liman • 2019
Crisol de etnias y culturas y punto de unión entre dos continentes, la actual Turquía, antaño considerada"el hombre enfermo de Europa", surge del hundimiento del Imperio otomano y de la declaración de una república laica por Mustafá Kemal Atatürk en 1923. Este libro recorre los siglos de historia de un territorio que ha visto sucederse distintas civilizaciones y pueblos--hititas, frigios, cimerios, persas, gálatas, griegos, romanos, armenios...--y la expansión y desintegración de poderosos imperios, como el bizantino o el otomano. Sus principales acontecimientos y personajes históricos más relevantes son analizados en estas páginas en sus aspectos sociopolíticos, culturales y religiosos, hasta el periodo actual, con el prolongado mandato de Erdoğan y las tensiones que lo atraviesan entre laicismo y reislamización, democracia y autoritarismo, nacionalismo y el proyecto de integración europea, o su papel en Oriente Medio y en la crisis de refugiados. El periodista Adrián Mac Liman realiza un encomiable ejercicio de síntesis histórica, gracias a sus amplios conocimientos sobre el país.

Uzbekistán 2024
VVAA • 2023
«Todo lo que he oído sobre la belleza de Samarcanda es pura verdad, pero es aún más espléndida de lo que hubiera podido imaginar». Alejandro Magno. Las leyendas del pasado y el nombre mítico de Samarcanda han guiado a la mayoría de los visitantes a Uzbekistán. En espacios infinitos de estepa y desierto, en montañas con picos aún vírgenes o a orillas de un mar desaparecido, el viajero, invitado a compartir el té con un pastor de ovejas bajo su yurta, con un bordador de sedas o alfombras, un buscador de oro o un antiguo pescador, vivirá en esta ocasión una experiencia inolvidable e infinitamente enriquecedora. Uzbekistán, mosaico geográfico de fértiles valles, montañas y vastos desiertos, debe su carácter único a las turbulencias de su historia, que han hecho de Asia Central una encrucijada de civilizaciones. Desde el imperio de Alejandro Magno hasta el de los zares, pasando por Gengis Khan y Tamerlán, Uzbekistán ha sido testigo del nacimiento, la confrontación, la cohabitación o la muerte de los mayores imperios. Uzbekistán es un destino en constante crecimiento que hay que visitar ya si se quiere disfrutar de su autenticidad, de su gastronomía y, principalmente, de la hospitalidad de sus gentes antes de que sea demasiado tarde y apenas se diferencie de otros lugares.

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency. This work is independently produced under the principle of nominative fair use.

Una historia breve de Rusia: Cómo entender la nación más compleja del mundo
Mark Galeotti • 2022
¿Puede alguien entender realmente a Rusia? Mark Galeotti, uno de los principales expertos del mundo en ese país, lo demuestra en este libro utilizando la fascinante historia de la nación para iluminar su futuro. Rusia es un país sin fronteras naturales, sin una etnia única, sin una verdadera identidad central. En la encrucijada de Europa y Asia, es el «otro» de todos. Pero, sin embargo, es también una de las naciones más poderosas de la tierra, una pieza clave en la escena mundial con una rica historia de guerra y paz, poetas y revolucionarios. En este recorrido esencial por la nación más incomprendida del mundo, Galeotti trasciende los mitos para llegar hasta el corazón de la historia rusa: desde la formación del país y sus primeras leyendas, como Iván el Terrible y Catalina la Grande, hasta el ascenso y la caída de los Romanov, la Revolución Rusa, la Guerra Fría, Chernóbil y el fin de la Unión Soviética, además de la llegada de un oscuro y frío político llamado Vladímir Putin.

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.
