How to cite
Use the entry for the edition you actually read. The Turkish edition is a separate edition, not a translation appendix, and has its own entry.

To cite one chapter rather than the whole book, use @inbook with the chapter title and its stable URL — chapter URLs contain the chapter number, so they change if a chapter is renumbered. The version field is what makes your citation reproducible.
Include an access date. A living book has no single “published on” moment, so the access date is the only thing that tells your reader which text you saw.
Persistent identifiers
A DOI is being registered through Zenodo, which mints one identifier per released version plus a concept DOI that always resolves to the newest one. When it exists, this page and CITATION.cff will carry it, and it is the identifier you should prefer over the plain URL.
An ISBN has not been assigned. It identifies a published edition of a book rather than a work, so it belongs to the PDF and EPUB editions rather than to the website.
License
The text and the code are licensed separately, because they are used differently.

Under CC BY 4.0 you may share and adapt the text, including commercially, provided you give credit and indicate whether you made changes. Teaching from it, translating it, and building a course on it are all allowed and welcome; the citation above is the credit line.
Third-party material — datasets, model outputs, and quoted figures — stays under its own terms, which the chapter that uses it names at the point of use.
Colophon
Written in Quarto. Interactive figures are Observable JS and run in the reader’s browser — there is no server, and no data leaves the page. Static figures are hand-written SVG that follows the reader’s light or dark theme. Both editions build from one repository through GitHub Actions to GitHub Pages.
Every number printed in this book was produced by running the code, on the hardware named in each chapter’s environment table, and re-checked against the source before publication. Where a measurement failed to reproduce, or came out against the expected result, the book says so.
Disclaimer
The book is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Model behaviour, library APIs, and published benchmark numbers all change; verify anything you are about to depend on against your own data before you depend on it. That is, in fact, the argument of the book.
