Fruit Oils: Chemistry and Functionality presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the chemistry and functionality of lipid bioactive phytochemicals found in fruit oils. The chapters in this text examine the composition, physicochemical characteristics and organoleptic attributes of each of the major fruit oils. The nutritional quality, oxidative stability, and potential food and non-foodapplications of these oils are also extensively covered. The potential health benefits of the bioactive lipids found in these fruit oils are also a focus of this text. For each oil presented, the levels of omega-9, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are specified, indicating the level of health-pro...

The Ghazi Sultans were frontier holy-warrior kings of late medieval and early modern Islamic history. This book is a comparative study of three particular Ghazis in the Muslim world at that time, demonstrating the extent to which these men were influenced by the actions and writings of their predecessors in shaping strategy and the way in which they saw themselves. Using a broad range of Persian, Arabic and Turkish texts, the author offers new findings in the history of memory and self-fashioning, demonstrating thereby the value of intertextual approaches to historical and literary studies. The three main themes explored include the formation of the ideal of the Ghazi king in the eleventh ce...
Najlepsza książka polityczna 2022 według „Financial Times”, najlepsza książka literatury faktu 2022 według „Kirkusa”, najlepsza książka 2022 według „New Yorkera” oraz zdobywczyni wielu innych nagród! Sally Hayden pokazuje, jak zachodni świat odwrócił się od imigrantów, pozostawiając ich samych w obliczu jednego z najbardziej niszczycielskich kryzysów humanitarnych w historii. To wstrząsający opis kryzysu migracyjnego w Afryce Północnej, będący przełomowym dziełem dziennikarstwa śledczego. Reportaż opiera się na wywiadach z uchodźcami i migrantami, którzy próbowali przedostać się do Europy i utknęli w Libii, gdy UE zaczęła finansować przechwytywania w 2017 roku. To także intymny portret życia więźniów, opowieść o tym, jak uchodźcy i migranci przetrzymywani przez lata w zamknięciu wspierają się w najtrudniejszych chwilach i dokonują drobnych aktów oporu, aby przetrwać w systemie, który chce, by ucichli i zniknęli.
The Turkish experience in constitution-making can be described as a series of missed opportunities to create political institutions based on broad consensus. None of the three republican constitutions (those of 1924, 1961, and 1982), nor the Ottoman Constitution of 1876 was written by a Constituent or a Legislative Assembly broadly representative of social forces or through a process of negotiations, bargaining, and compromise. Consequently, they all had weak political legitimacy. No doubt, the prospects of EU membership provided a powerful stimulus for these constitutional reforms as well as the nine harmonization packages. With these reforms, Turkey has sufficiently satisfied the Copenhagen political criteria and started accession negotiations with the EU. It would be wrong to assume, however, that these reforms were simply an outcome of Turkey's desire to join the EU. They also responded to the society's demands for a more democratic and liberal political system. Book jacket.
