Acknowledgements
A book may carry a single name on its cover, yet behind it lie many eyes, much labour, attention, friendship and support.
This page is reserved for the people and institutions who contributed, directly or indirectly, to the making of the book. As the names, notes and words of thanks take shape, it will become a quiet map of the work behind these pages.
Let the reader first come to know the book; then, if they wish, see the solidarity and the contributions — large and small — behind this journey.
The finest photographs on this site were taken by Mr Bahadır Taşkın. Our endless thanks.
