Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla's mind. The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance. Terry’s story follows protagonist Kyla, who wakes up to find her memory has been erased and her personality wiped blank. Now her first book for young adults, Slated, has finally been published, and we are thrilled that Terry has found her niche.

On her travels she has acquired three degrees, a selection of passports, and a self-confessed ‘silly name’ (married into – not born with), and although previous careers have included many jobs most would find fascinating - scientist, lawyer and optometrist, amongst others - it was always ‘writer’ Terry dreamed of having on her CV.

'The quintessence of decades of research. The second part of the book brings her knowledge to bear on what we know of the goddesses today-those who, in many places and in many forms, live on. The first part of the book is an accessible, beautifully illustrated summation of all Gimbutas' s earlier work on 'Old European' religion, together with her ideas on the roles of males and females in ancient matrilineal cultures. Editor Miriam Robbins Dexter has added introductory and concluding remarks, summaries, and annotations. This volume, which was close to completion at the time of her death, contains the distillation of her studies, combined with new discoveries, insights, and analysis. Gimbutas flew in the face of contemporary archaeology when she reconstructed goddess-centered cultures that predated historic patriarchal cultures by many thousands of years. Marija Gimbutas wrote and taught with rare clarity in her original-and originally shocking-interpretation of prehistoric European civilization. 'The Living Goddesses' crowns a lifetime of innovative, influential work by one of the twentieth-century' s most remarkable scholars. Abstract: The word of Turan, Persian origin, is used today in terms of the place where all Turkish tribes live. Macaristan'da Turancı ideolojiye sahip bir parti olarak görülen Jobbik'in söylemlerindeki "Doğu'ya dönüş" ilk bakışta "Batı'dan bir Doğu'ya dönüş" gibi gözükmekle birlikte, bu söylemin temelinde yatan asıl sebebin Avrupa'da yaşanan ekonomik darboğazdan ve Macar ekonomisinin içinde bulunduğu krizden kaynaklandığını söylemek de mümkündür. Türkiye'deki Turancılık anlayışı ise biraz daha romantik olmakla birlikte "kardeş Macar" fikri ağır basamaktadır. Sovyetler Birliği'nin çökmesiyle birlikte Macaristan'daki AB ile entegrasyon süreci, ülkenin mali kriz içerisinde olması ve dış borçlanman, Macaristan'da tekrar "Turan" düşüncesini uyanmasını sağlamıştır. Bu düşünceler, Macaristan'ın ana muhalefet partisi JOBBİK ve Macar Turan Vakfı tarafından sık sık dile getirilmektedir. Ülkedeki AB ve Batı karşıtlığı Turan ideolojisi üzerinden dillendirilmektedir. İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Turan düşüncesi dondurulmuşsa da bugün, bu tarihsel ideoloji Macaristan'da tekrar canlanmaya başlamıştır. Macar Turancılığı, Avrupa'nın ortasında yalnızlık ve iktisadi sıkıntılarla doğmuş ve güçlenmiştir. Bu yüzden Turancılık, Macarlarla özdeşleştirilmiştir. yüzyılın ilk yarısında güçlü bir Turancı ideolojik hava hâkim olmuştur. yüzyılda Macar dilbilimciler ve tarihçiler tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Öz: Farsça kökenli Turan kelimesi günümüzde tüm Türk boylarının yaşadığı yer manasında kullanılmaktadır. |
