  On the map of human existence, Istanbul throughout the
  age of empire represented the administrative power
  center. Rome, Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire each
  took its place in history as a ring of civilization that formed
  around this center. To view history from this perspective
  means to read the story of humanity in its pages and, in a
  sense, to rediscover each time this dazzling star that
  shone in the skies of Anatolia, the Balkans and the
  Mediterranean. As mankind discovered Istanbul, it also
  discovered itself as a passionate traveler on the road
  leading back to its own past. Istanbul today is a
  treasurehouse where all our lost values are carefully
  preserved. A compass for our social identity that has lost
  its way, a touchstone for our decaying aesthetic taste, a
  trustworthy scale for our degenerating sense of justice -
  Istanbul can assume all these roles while at the same time
  generously offering us a human experience and a store of
  knowledge capable of answering every question put to it.
  Everyday Life in Istanbul is a collection of striking
  images along a journey back to the roots of the Turks'
  social identity. A work embracing the history of an
  imperial city in a plane where Man, Culture and Space
  relate to each other, it is a noteworthy example of the new
  historiography, which sets up a balance among the social
  sciences. With its unique style and its theoretical
  framework set against a multi-dimensional background
  extending from politics to culture, from architecture to
