      abstract = {Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul-- one city, where  stories and histories collide. The gateway between East and  West, North and South, it has been the capital city of the  Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Hughes takes us on  an historical journey from the Neolithic to the present,  exploring the ways that Istanbul's influence has spun out  to shape the wider world. This is the story not just of  emperors, viziers, caliphs, and sultans, but of the poor  and the voiceless, of the women and men whose aspirations  and dreams have continuously reinvented Istanbul.},
