Ayyildiz

New York Times journalist/author Stephen Kinzer, after spending 4-5 years in Turkey, wrote a book last year. it is titled 'Crescent and Star: Turkey between Two Worlds' (Crescent = Hilal [ay], Star = Yildiz in Turkish, representing the Turkish flag). The book is extremely helpful if you need to know about the country. Each chapter is another gem. The 'meze' sections between chapters are just great.
