Description: Istanbul and Water by N. Ergin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Istanbul stands at a unique conjunction of an inland sea with a longmaritime inlet, and a winding, turbulent maritime strait that links twoseas and separates two continents. These topographical features havegreatly facilitated maritime trade, for which the city has had anenormous harbor capacity. Istanbuls relationship with fresh water isalso idiosyncratic: its dearth meant that fresh water for consumptionhad to be channeled, stored, and distributed with the help oflong-distance aqueducts, open-air reservoirs and cisterns. The naturalenvironment combined with the norms of local societies created a cultureof water that has constituted an important part of Istanbuls identity.Various aspects of it are explored in this volume, the outcome of asymposium organized by Koç Universitys Research Center for AnatolianCivilizations. The eleven essays by leading scholars present researchfindings from the archaeological excavations at Yenikapi, examine thedistribution and consumption of water in Byzantine times as well as thesocial impact of water in the Ottoman era, and offer reflections on theaesthetics of water.
