Book Description
A different perspective… Starting in Sultanahmet—the historic peninsula of Istanbul—with an adventure, this novel takes you through a joyous journey in the depths of history. When you become aware that the content of the Sumerian tablet texts are not simply mythical but rather full of information shedding light unto truth, you will have a new perspective on life. This book makes us cognizant of the fact, in all its veracity, that the mistakes humanity has been continuing to make over the course of history, the wars, and the indifferent misuse and overuse of all the sources of nature are bringing the Earth to the edge of becoming an uninhabitable realm; and that the way to stop all this lies in the mercy of humanity’s mind and conscience. I finished reading my father’s book in a breath. Uçan Kuş If you have stumbled upon this book, beware! If you say, “I like stretching the boundaries of my imagination, and I am open to new information and perspectives.”, know that you have caught hold of a very special book, and start reading immediately. Do not read this book if you are not ready to extend the boundaries of your imagination, and if you are not ready for change. This book, which has been fictionalized by the author through his unlimited imagination and rich accumulation of information and knowledge, will be making you surf on the waves of the oceans of history, mythology, astrology, anthropology and sociology, eventually reaching at the current times. Well, it is at that moment that you will start to view the world in a different perspective. Haçe This is an original work of writing in which fantastic literature and myths mingle… This novel, which synthesizes the human history that is laden with mysteries and unknowns with fantastic elements, makes the reader question the validity of what she had been presuming as the truth, making her stupefied, and agitated. As you are strolling through the mysterious labyrinths of the history of humanity in this gripping adventure, which reminds us how little we know about the real story of the planet where we inhabit, your universe of thoughts will broaden, and you will start viewing the history and the myths with a completely different pair of spectacles. The doors to a different perspective on truth will be slit open in your minds… Gezegen

The Transit of Venus
Author: Shirley Hazzard
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143135651
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The award-winning, New York Times bestselling literary masterpiece of Shirley Hazzard—the story of two beautiful orphan sisters whose fates are as moving and wonderful, and yet as predestined, as the transits of the planets themselves A Penguin Classic Considered "one of the great English-language novels of the twentieth century" (The Paris Review), The Transit of Venus follows Caroline and Grace Bell as they leave Australia to begin a new life in post-war England. From Sydney to London, New York, and Stockholm, and from the 1950s to the 1980s, the two sisters experience seduction and abandonment, marriage and widowhood, love and betrayal. With exquisite, breathtaking prose, Australian novelist Shirley Hazzard tells the story of the displacements and absurdities of modern life. The result is at once an intricately plotted Greek tragedy, a sweeping family saga, and a desperate love story.

Chasing Venus
Author: Andrea Wulf
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307958612
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
A “thrilling adventure story" (San Francisco Chronicle) that brings to life the astronomers who in the 1700s embarked upon a quest to calculate the size of the solar system, and paints a vivid portrait of the collaborations, rivalries, and volatile international politics that hindered them at every turn. • From the author of Magnificent Rebels and New York Times bestseller The Invention of Nature. On June 6, 1761, the world paused to observe a momentous occasion: the first transit of Venus between the Earth and the Sun in more than a century. Through that observation, astronomers could calculate the size of the solar system—but only if they could compile data from many different points of the globe, all recorded during the short period of the transit. Overcoming incredible odds and political strife, astronomers from Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Sweden, and the American colonies set up observatories in the remotest corners of the world, only to be thwarted by unpredictable weather and warring armies. Fortunately, transits of Venus occur in pairs; eight years later, they would have another opportunity to succeed. Thanks to these scientists, neither our conception of the universe nor the nature of scientific research would ever be the same.
