The earliest turkish verses, dating from the sixth century A.D., were love lyrics. Since then, love has dominated the Turks' poetic modes and moods--pre-Islamic, Ottoman, classical, folk, modern. This collection covers
love lyrics from all periods of Turkish poetry. It is the first anthology of its kind in English. The translations, faithful to the originals, possess a special freshness in style and sensibility.

Here are lyrics from pre-Islamic Central Asia, passages from epics, mystical ecstasies of such eminent thirteenth-century figures as Rumi and Yunus Emre, classical poems of the Ottoman Empire (including S leyman the Magnificent and women court poets), lilting folk poems, and the work of the legendary communist Nazim Hikmet (who is arguably Turkey's most famous poet internationally), and the greatest living Turkish poet, Fazil H sn Daglarca.

The verses in this collection are true to the Turkish spirit as well as universal in their appeal. They show how Turks praise and satirize love, how they see it as a poetic experience. Poetry was for many centuries the premier Turkish genre and love its predominant theme. Some of the best expressions produced by Turkish poets over a period of fifteen centuries can be found in this volume.

Great for supplemental learning
Format: Paperback
This study guide is an interesting take on drug memorization, though the execution could be better. The coloring concept helps with memory retention, especially for visual learners trying to connect drug names with their uses and classifications. The organization by drug class is logical and helps build understanding of how related medications work. The basic pharmacology information is accurate and the quick-reference format is handy for review. The "made easy" title fits - it breaks down complex medication information into manageable chunks. The coloring activities do help make dry content more engaging, though the quality of the illustrations varies. Some drawbacks: the coloring spaces are sometimes too small for comfortable use, and the paper quality could be better - markers tend to bleed through. Several important newer drugs are missing, and some of the clinical information feels oversimplified. The binding isn't very durable - pages can come loose with regular use. For students, this works best as a supplementary study tool rather than a primary resource. It's helpful for initial learning and quick review before exams, but you'll need more detailed sources for complete medication information. Consider using colored pencils instead of markers, and maybe reinforce the binding before heavy use.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cool
Format: Paperback
The concept is amazing! I saw my classmate using this for boards (NPLEX)and I decided to get it. I only used it a few times though and never picked it up again because I suck at memorizing and prefer to just learn it the old school way. It’s cool if coloring is how you study. Maybe using it to wind down from an intense study session.
