From Booklist
Similar to the many . . . From the Air or Above . . . books, this collection of more than 155 glorious large color photographs taken from a low-flying helicopter reveals Turkey from Istanbul to the Iranian border. The unusual perspective shows the huge size of the covered bazaar and the elegant arrangement of domes on mosques. Several historical photographs and maps of Istanbul are provided for comparison's sake. Captions by Murat Belge and St{‚}ephane Yerasimos explain the historical and geographical context of sites ranging in time from Greek and Roman to Seljuk and Ottoman. Beautiful photographs of an increasingly popular tourist destination. Sandy Whiteley
