The ancient Greek word oikos (ancient Greek: οἶκος, plural: οἶκοι; English prefix: eco- for ecology and economics) refers to three related but distinct concepts: the family, the family's property, and the house. Its meaning shifts even within texts, which can lead to confusion.


At first, I suspected a really bad online/copy-fraud version of this book, since the term "01KCDÇ" appears in online searches of PDFs. But in this case it seems indeed to be this sloppy in a real book on sale version: gBooks.
