Burcu Aydın The mystery of the language that enables communication between people is still not solved today. How do we form words and phrases from a set of sounds and derive complex meanings from them? How do we organize words in our mental dictionary and recall them when necessary? How do we combine words to form sentences and use them in ways that can mean different things in different environments? How does the process of meaning take place in our brain? While this book explains the answers to these questions within the framework of psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic approaches and models, it also provides information about the origin of language and its functioning in the brain.

Nevzat GÜLDİKEN During the period until today, when the concepts of labor and work first appeared on the stage of history, different ideas have been developed for these concepts. In primitive times, the concept of work was defined as doing enough work to maintain life at a minimum level, but in modern times this provision is no longer sufficient. With the discovery of production by human beings and the emergence of the concept of wage with this discovery, the attitude towards work has also changed.
In this book, which tries to look at the concepts of work and employment from a sociological perspective, the views of various sociologists on these concepts and how the concepts are shaped according to the lifestyles, values and judgments of societies are tried to be conveyed to the reader.

Ferhan Sami Atalay Environmental pollution occurs as a result of uncontrolled discharge of waste materials, which are released as a result of human activities and which are not evaluated, to the receiving environment such as air, water and soil, and causes significant changes in the ecological balance of nature. The resulting global environmental problems such as climate change, desertification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer endanger the sustainability of the environment, and pose significant threats to the health, survival, food and water resources of humans and other living species.
Maintaining a healthy life is only possible with a healthy environment. For a healthy environment, the natural balance, that is, the protection of the ecosystem, is only possible with the control of environmental pollution.
This book has been prepared in order to give the necessary processes and design principles for the treatment of wastes that cause air, water and soil pollution as a result of production and consumption activities, and solutions of problems and design examples are given for a better understanding of treatment/disposal process designs.
In the first part of the book, environmental problems are briefly introduced; In the second part, as air pollution control processes, the designs of cyclones, wet scrubbers, bag filters and electrostatic filters in the retention of solid particles, physical processes such as filled absorber, adsorption, membrane in the treatment of dangerous substances in flue gases and the processes involving reactions are examined, sulfur dioxide; Examples of the design of control processes for gases that cause important environmental problems such as nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide are given.
In the third chapter, water pollution and control processes are discussed and the physical; chemical and biological treatment processes were investigated. In this section, exemplary designs have been made by adsorption, air stripping and water purification with ion exchangers; in chemical treatment processes, precipitation, electrochemical treatment, wet air oxidation, advanced oxidation processes are examined and sample problems are given.
The processes applied in the biological treatment of wastewater are given and the design of the activated sludge treatment system is made.
In the fourth chapter, which deals with soil pollution, physical bioremediation and chemical treatment processes are examined and sample problems are included.
In the last part of the book, solid wastes and their management are examined and re-evaluation of solid wastes; their regular storage; composting; biogas production; burning (incineration); Information about pyrolysis and gasification processes are presented and sample designs are given.
In conclusion, this book has been prepared as a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students and engineers interested in environmental pollution control.

Ceren Hıdıroğlu Ongun, Derya Hasta, Duygu Güngör, E. Helin Yaban, Ebru Akün, Gökçe Karayeğen Balent, Gözde Kıral Uçar, M. Burcu Balçıklı, Markus M. Müller, Meral Gezici Yalçın, Özgen Yalçın, Pelin Karakuş Akalın This book provides readers with a comprehensive resource on the relationship between man and the natural environment and the psychological factors underlying environmental behavior, accompanied by scientific findings and examples from daily life. Each chapter of the book is written in a consistent, fluent and plain language by authors specialized in different disciplines of psychology.
The book not only conveys the issues focusing on human and nature interaction and environmental behavior to the reader from a psychological point of view, but also reveals striking information on environmental behavior, which is directly related to the climate crisis and other ecological problems that affect the world, and offers some solutions. In addition to all these, it also creates awareness in the reader about the effects of nature and environmental regulations on the psychological and physical health of people. In this respect, the book is a resource that can be read with pleasure not only by experts working in the field, but also by anyone interested in psychology and environmental issues.

Can Çalıcı, Cihat Yaşaroğlu, Erkin Sarı, Ferhat Arı, Gülten Ünal, Hilal Peker, Hüccet Vural, M. Fatih Bükün, Mert Aytaç, Musa Bozkurt, Ömer Çamur, Sebur Kapu, Üzeyir Kement Although studies have been carried out for more than a century in the field of "Environmental Psychology", which examines the mutual relationship between man and his natural and built environment, it has been about 60 years that the field emerged as a discipline. While we sometimes exhibit environmentally friendly behaviors in our interaction with the environment, we sometimes exhibit behaviors that harm the environment. In an area where human behavior is so important, we can say that Environmental Psychology is one of the most important disciplines we will apply to understand the behavior of individuals regarding the environment.
In human-environment interaction, we can sometimes see the damage we do to the environment without being a subject matter expert. For example, the closure of people in their homes at the beginning of the Pandemic period, which has made its impact felt all over the world as in our country since 2019, almost caused the revival of nature. We saw flowers bloom on the streets, in the streets, in places with heavy human circulation before. However, with the removal of the restriction, the signs of our going out into nature began to be visible again. We have now added masks and gloves to the objects that we used to throw on the ground (!) before. Formerly “Please do not throw garbage!” next to the warnings “Please do not throw masks!” It looks like the warnings will be added as well. These and similar events, which most of us have witnessed or somehow learned from the press, give clues about the human-nature relationship and also reveal the importance of environmental behavior.
This work named Introduction to Environmental Psychology; It will be an important resource for researchers doing postgraduate research, students taking environmental courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and all curious readers and researchers who care about the "environment", which is vital for human beings. We also consider this work as a start and hope that it will be instrumental in other studies that will contribute to the field.

By climbing the developmental stages, the child acquires a set of skills ranging from eye contact to babbling, from gestures to first words, and from simple sentence combinations to complex sentences. Ultimately, the child who gains literacy skills continues to progress in language development through reading and writing. However, there may be some differences in the developmental process of the child, sometimes due to biomedical and sometimes environmental reasons. Speech and language therapists accompany children and their families who have a different language development adventure throughout this adventure.
This book arose out of a need for up-to-date and Turkish resources for speech and language therapy students and specialists, which are still developing in Turkey. In addition, each of them has been prepared by experts who continue their academic studies in this field for speech and language therapists and considering the child's language development steps. In this sense, it also aims to be a bedside source.

Ahmet Hulusi Akkaş, Çağlar Özdemir, Ebru Davulcu, Fikret Yazıcı, Hakan Aydın, Haşim Asil, Hülya Öztekin, Mustafa Öztürk, Mustafa Temel, Sümeyye Derin, Vahit İlhan Child abuse is a subject that needs to be studied meticulously in order to be handled with a multidisciplinary approach and to protect the best interests of children. Undoubtedly, the most important contribution to the solution efforts regarding the problem of child abuse will be the attempts to increase scientific and managerial knowledge about this field. The fact that these initiatives include a multidisciplinary approach is of strategic importance considering the extremely limited production in this regard and has the potential to strengthen the search for solutions. Depending on the stated purpose and importance, the ProChild Project has determined as one of its main outputs the production of an edited book, which deals with the problem of child abuse with a multidisciplinary approach. This book; It deals with the problem of child abuse with its knowledge of medicine, education, law and communication, focuses on the problem of representation through the news of child abuse published in internet newspapers, and opens the digital components of child abuse to discussion in detail.

In cases where the care of children cannot be provided by their families and relatives due to poverty, abandonment, finds, death of mother or father, the responsibility of care and supervision of children is fulfilled by public institutions as a public responsibility.
The concept of child protection has undergone serious changes in the modern period. Factors such as neglect and abuse, violence, delinquency and victims of crime have come to the fore in the field of child protection.
Today, the issue of child protection remains on the agenda due to the changes in family and social structure in many countries.
In this book, academics at different universities in Turkey and experts working in practice have examined child protection systems from national and international dimensions.
It is hoped that the book will contribute to the understanding and development of the field of child protection.

Each semester is a new adventure, a new learning. Childhood, the period in which most things are learned in life, is one of the most special periods of human life. This book has been written to provide parents, psychological counselors, psychologists, teachers, experts and trainees with a detailed examination of the child's development and problems, from the prenatal period to the end of adolescence.

Mazlum Çöpür In every society, the main goal is to raise children mentally and physically healthy. Although mental and physical health, the foundation of which is laid in the mother's womb, mutually affect each other, if a person who is in good physical health is not mentally healthy, he does not enjoy life and feels unhappy. Negative events in childhood do not only impair mental health during childhood, but the effects of this continue in adulthood. For this reason, it is the key to raising healthy generations that children's social, emotional and cognitive development, personality and language development progress in accordance with their age, living in harmony with their environment and showing their talents, and feeling themselves as valuable and loved individuals. Knowing how the normal development of children follows and how to continue this course without interruption will enable us to raise mentally healthy children.
For reasons beyond our control, mental health problems may occur in children. Timely detection and treatment of these problems will prevent or minimize permanent damage to children's mental health.
In this book the steps that children go through for a mentally healthy development, the factors affecting their development, and some important and common mental problems are explained. It contains a lot of information, especially for students and teachers of psychological counseling and guidance, child development and psychology departments of universities. It is also hoped that the book will be useful to parents who are interested in the subject.

However, it has been observed that there has been a rapid increase in extraordinary events in recent years. For example, when we look at some of the events that 15-year-old children are exposed to and witnessed in our country today, terrorist attacks, school bus accidents, plane, helicopter and train accidents, wars, earthquakes, floods, fires, avalanche disasters, increasing domestic violence and abuse cases, economic crises and pandemic comes to the fore. Considering all these experiences, it is seen that there are extremely challenging life events that threaten the mental health of children and adolescents. One of the most important duties of field experts is to help protect children's mental health and to provide psychosocial support in extraordinary situations. In this book, extraordinary situations have been defined, tried to be explained by considering them one by one, and examples of activities to be used in extraordinary events and employees in extraordinary situations are given. I hope that the book will be useful to all field experts, especially children and adolescents, and to those who are interested in these subjects.

Lütfi Sunar What is social change?
How do societies change?
What are the main theories explaining change?
What are the main dynamics of change in Turkey?

Social change is a fundamental field that concerns all subjects, concepts and theories of sociology. From the beginning to the present, many explanations about change have emerged in the sociology literature. Understanding the accumulation of these explanations is very important for a sociology student. Understanding change is essential for analyzing the workings of society.
Turkey's social structure is in a rapid and permanent change. Comprehensive and sustained research and new perspectives are needed to understand and explain this change. However, social change has not attracted much attention from sociology in Turkey. The number of theoretical studies, conceptual studies and empirical researches in the field is very few. This work in your hand was written within the scope of Social Structure Research Program to fill such a gap.
This book, which consists of 16 chapters, examines the concepts, theories and approaches related to change in sociology.

This process it means not only the change in bureaucratic structuring, but also the involvement of actors other than the public in the delivery of social services. These actors; private sector, local governments and non-governmental organizations. Undoubtedly, in this new era, the importance of the family as the main pillar of social solidarity continues.
This book discusses the transformation in social services in the context of different welfare regimes on the axis of disadvantaged groups (children, elderly, disabled, women, immigrants, LGBT individuals, different ethnic-cultural groups, human trafficking victims). Undoubtedly, every disadvantaged group has problems in many areas from employment to increasing the quality of life, education and health services. This study deals with different disadvantaged groups as the main issue of social policy within the framework of the interest of social services and includes specific discussions for each group.

Figen Karaceylan Çakmakcı “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can disrupt an individual's social life, academic life and family relationships. Although it is a disease that can completely change the future of the child if it is not treated and intervened correctly, satisfactory answers begin to emerge as a result of the right approach and appropriate interventions.
In my 20-year career as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, I have experienced many times that only drug therapy is not sufficient in the treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. The fact that family attitudes and the interventions of the teacher in the classroom are as important as psychopharmacological treatment has motivated me to write such a book.
With this book, it is aimed to inform about the mistakes that we know to be true about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, which is heard by everyone and perhaps defined as today's fashion disease. In addition, it is aimed both to ensure that children with ADHD are understood and to strengthen effective behavior management for families and teachers by providing accurate information and tips to our families and teachers about the relationship between ADHD and learning, which causes misunderstandings and prejudices.
We hope that this book, which offers solutions suitable for the needs of children who are our future, will be a useful resource for everyone who reads it.

This book, which is a candidate to guide the curious about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, actually allows us to meet a multi-layered public health problem. The reason why it is different from other books written on this subject so far is hidden in the way it deals with the subject. 96 scientists from 23 different professions tried to embrace today's most common neuropsychiatric disorder by signing 86 chapters. The purpose of this meeting is to draw a general framework for the most common neurodevelopmental problem of childhood, to turn "different" perspectives into "normal". This transdisciplinary meeting is never to reject and/or reduce the problem, but to create a roadmap to use all available resources effectively while struggling with a multi-layered situation.

Meltem Demirgöz Bal This book is a comprehensive work, written in fluent Turkish, containing up-to-date, evidence-based, short, clear and concrete information that can be applied not only by health professionals and students, but also by anyone who needs fertility regulation services.
In the work, there are 18 chapters covering the laws of fertility regulation and all methods of contraception, reproductive organs anatomy and physiology, the relationship between sexual/reproductive health and fertility regulation, infertility and treatment methods, sexually transmitted infections and treatment methods.
Hoping this book will be a useful resource for its target audience...

In this direction, care is at the center of the midwifery profession, which provides health care to the individual, family and society. Care practice for midwives requires mutual communication and cooperation between the midwife and the healthy/sick individual. Even just the presence of midwives can make healthy/sick individuals feel safe. For this reason, midwifery students should understand the meaning and importance of midwifery care during their professional education and increase their theoretical knowledge, skills and competencies on this subject.
How to offer humanistic care and compassion is gained through midwifery training and continues to mature through experiential practices. This book, called Midwifery Fundamentals Clinical Skills and Practices, aims to provide students with the basic concepts of midwifery, the importance of midwifery in the development and protection of individual, family and community health, the role and functions of midwifery, the correct determination and resolution of health problems related to the care process of the individual and his family. In addition, the work aims to provide midwifery students with the necessary knowledge, psychomotor skills and attitudes about professional practices.

A new child can bring with it new worries, new challenges, and new stresses, as well as new feelings, new understandings, and new joys. While these changes are a unique experience for the parent, they can also be challenging at times. Pregnancy and transition to parenthood is a period of adjustment that has important effects on the baby-parent relationship and the development of the baby. Relevant education, information and advice for new parents during this transition period is important. In this book, physical, psychological and social preparation for becoming a parent before pregnancy, psychological adaptation of the mother and father to pregnancy, parental attachment, the process of becoming a mother and father, as well as the pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum preparation of the pregnant woman and her family for parenthood are included.
The book, Preparing for Parenthood, has emerged as a result of the hard work of a strong team of writers from various cities and universities in Turkey. We hope that the book will be useful to midwives, nurses, midwife and nurse candidate students, as well as to mothers and fathers, new mothers and fathers, and to the world of science.

Ahmet Cevizci Introduction to Philosophy is written for those seeking an introduction to philosophy as a discipline and intellectual activity. The work aims to make this introduction by introducing philosophy itself, its basic concepts, trends and subjects, and ways of thinking and reasoning specific to philosophy. In the work, which consists of eight chapters, after a first chapter that aims to establish an acquaintance with philosophy, issues related to epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of being, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of religion and philosophy of art are included.
Introduction to Philosophy appeals to all those who want to meet philosophy and want to include philosophy, which we can define as "thinking on big questions in an argumentative and questioning way", into their lives in some way. Written for future teacher candidates. The most important feature of the work is that it deals with the subjects of philosophy with a constructivist approach, that is, the book, Introduction to Philosophy, has been created by using diagrams and visual materials in a way that will enable the student to think about philosophical questions and problems and make the necessary inquiries, instead of conveying ready-made information about the subjects and problems of philosophy.

Since this date, fermented foods have started to be produced and consumed with an increasing interest. Undoubtedly, the most important reason for this is the increasing understanding of the positive effects of fermented foods on human health. It is a fact accepted by the scientific world that fermented products have functional and therapeutic effects, especially since they have antimicrobial, antioxidant, probiotic, cholesterol-lowering and similar effects. Based on this fact, we carried out the study with a large group of writers working at different universities and consisting of expert academics, and we aimed to make it stronger, pioneering and different from similar books in the field.
The beginning of the book is the history of fermentation. Afterwards, fermented foods, which have an important place in our daily life and which we love to consume, are discussed in separate sections and the positive effects of these foods on microbiology, technology and health are included. In the last part of the book, there is information about fermented foods legislation and other fermented foods that are not widely consumed in our country but are frequently consumed abroad. Book; It has been prepared at a level that can appeal to academics and students who are studying in this field, as well as to people who do not do academic work.

Ömer Ertürk, Sinem Aydın, Ülkü Karaman, Duygu Odabaş Alver Microbiology has become an important and interesting field for beginners. While learning the content and concepts of basic microbiology, many questions are asked: How do I learn the names of all these microorganisms? What infection does bacteria, virus or fungus cause and which diseases do they cause? How are these diseases treated? In this book, comprehensive information is presented about the information that a student or an academician interested in the field of microbiology is curious about in the field of microbiology. The basic concepts of General and Molecular Microbiology have been tried to be presented in a clear and concise manner that will appeal to students studying in different health fields and academicians interested in microbiology. The topics are written in a plain language, with uncomplicated explanations for difficult concepts. The topics were summarized through tables and figures rather than a long text, and colorful visuals were included for students. In particular, the important points in the reviews were highlighted in the boxes to help the students, and the study questions were prepared to address the relevant aspects of each subject, including clinical cases, and each section was prepared with current developments and information on microbiology. The book starts with a general introduction to microbiology and continues with chapters where general microbiology issues are discussed in detail. All microorganisms are given individually under sections. The sections on bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are neatly arranged. Each chapter is presented in color to excite those interested in microbiology and engage them while teaching new information. The book will also be useful in the laboratory applications of the subjects that form the basis of microbiology in the faculties of science, education faculties, medical faculties and dentistry faculties.

Selma Güven, Nükhet N. Demirel Zorba The first edition of our book, of which we have made the 12th edition, was made in 2003 under the title of "General Microbiology". It includes topics such as the morphology, cell structures, development, reproduction, ecology, hereditary changes, classification of microorganisms and consists of 10 chapters. In the 2 (2007), 3 (2011), 4 (2013), 5 (February 2015), 6 (November 2015) editions of the book, tools and equipment used in the microbiology laboratory, aseptic technique, sterilization, microscope types, staining methods, pure culture techniques Laboratory applications such as , media, counting methods are also included. Thus, the book consisting of 24 chapters was named as “General Microbiology and Laboratory Guide”.
In each renewed edition, new sources on the subject were scanned and important information was added. In the 4th edition made in 2013, no significant changes were made in the subject headings except for the additional titles of the structure and functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) and general and current summary information about antibiotics (5.5.). However, in the 5th edition, the subsection on the structure-functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) was taken to the 9th section and the name of this section was changed to "genetics of microorganisms and hereditary change". In the 9th edition, additions were made to the 10th chapter. In the 10th and 11th editions, some grammatical errors were corrected and in the last edition the importance of microbiology was added.
Our aim is to present a book on General Microbiology to the students of the Food Engineering Department of the faculties of Engineering and Agriculture and to the students of other departments studying General Microbiology at Universities. Of course, we will be proud that everyone who is interested in the subject will benefit from our book.
We are happy to be able to make the tenth edition of our book, which is popularly read in the relevant departments of both our universities and vocational schools.
