＜p＞＜strong＞"A masterful achievement...[Carroll's] prose is elegant, his viewpoint bold." ーHoward Zinn, author of ＜em＞The People's History of the United States＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"One cannot understand the impact of the Pentagon on US foreign policy. . . without reading James Carroll's ＜em＞House of War＜/em＞." ーLawrence Korb, former Undersecretary of Defence under Ronald Reagan＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞From the National Book Award?winning author of ＜em＞An American Requiem＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Constantine's Sword＜/em＞ comes a sweeping yet intimate look at the Pentagon and its vastーoften hiddenーimpact on America.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This landmark, myth-shattering work chronicles the most powerful institution in America, the people who created it, and the pathologies it has spawned. James Carroll proves a controversial thesis: the Pentagon has, since its founding, operated beyond the control of any force in government or society. It is the biggest, loosest cannon in American history, and no institution has changed this country more. To argue his case, he marshals a trove of often chilling evidence. He recounts how "the Building" and its denizens achieved what Eisenhower called "a disastrous rise of misplaced power"ーfrom the unprecedented aerial bombing of Germany and Japan during World War II to the "shock and awe" of Iraq. He charts the colossal U.S. nuclear buildup, which far outpaced that of the USSR, and has outlived it. He reveals how consistently the Building has found new enemies just as old threatsーand fundingーevaporate. He demonstrates how Pentagon policy brought about U.S. indifference to an epidemic of genocide during the 1990s. And he shows how the forces that attacked the Pentagon on 9/11 were set in motion exactly sixty years earlier, on September 11, 1941, when ground was broken for the house of war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Carroll draws on rich personal experience (his father was a top Pentagon official for more than twenty years) as well as exhaustive research and dozens of extensive interviews with Washington insiders. The result is a grand yet intimate work of history, unashamedly polemical and personal but unerringly factual. With a breadth and focus that no other book could muster, it explains what America has become over the past sixty years.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞"Refreshing . . . A penetrating analysis of the assumptions that underlie SETI and the entire enterprise of searching for life beyond Earth." ーChris McKay, ＜em＞Nature＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake first pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). After a half-century of scanning the skies, however, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silenceーeerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life. Physicist and astrobiologist Paul Davies has been closely involved with SETI for three decades and chairs the SETI Post-Detection Taskgroup, charged with deciding what to do if we're suddenly confronted with evidence of alien intelligence. He believes the search so far has fallen into an anthropocentric trapーassuming that an alien species will look, think, and behave much like us. In this provocative book Davies refocuses the search, challenging existing ideas of what form an alien intelligence might take, how it might try to communicate with us, and how we should respond if it does.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Paul Davies gives us a panoramic view of the quickening search for cosmic companyーa fascinating tale stuffed with novel ideas about the nature of intelligence far beyond our own." ーSeth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"An immensely readable investigation of the SETI enterprise . . .

＜p＞As a believer in God are you prepared for suffering and grief that will come your way? After the death of my beloved wife in 2018, I started searching for resources to provide some guidance on how to cope with the intense grief that comes with being a widower at a fairly young age. To my surprise, I found very few publications directed at helping widowers deal with the suffering of losing their spouse and almost nothing from a Christian perspective on the topic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the months following my wife's passing, I absorbed as much information on grieving and suffering as I could find. I read about grief and attended grief sharing sessions at my local church. But I kept questioning why these things happened to my family and why prayers were not heard. I realized that the church as a whole does not do a very good job in preparing the flock for grief and suffering which inevitably will come our way at some point in our lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During this period of confusion, doubt and crying out for answers, God responded to my protests and ultimately provided comfort as only he can. Why Me Lord?! Suffering Widower was written to offer witness to God's unwavering grace and to look into the insights regarding suffering from the Bible, primarily the book of Job.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Joe Pappalardo's ＜em＞Inferno＜/em＞ tells the true story of the men who flew the deadliest missions of World War II, and an unlikely hero who received the Medal of Honor in the midst of the bloodiest military campaign in aviation history.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ There's no higher accolade in the U.S. military than the Medal of Honor, and 472 people received it for their action during World War II. But only one was demoted right after: Maynard Harrison Smith.＜br /＞ Smith is one of the most unlikely heroes of the war, where he served in B-17s during the early days of the bombing of France and Germany from England. From his juvenile delinquent past in Michigan, through the war and during the decades after, Smith's life seemed to be a series of very public missteps. The other airmen took to calling the 5-foot, 5-inch airman "Snuffy" after an unappealing movie character.＜br /＞ This is also the man who, on a tragically mishandled mission over France on May 1, 1943, single-handedly saved the crewmen in his stricken B-17. With every other gunner injured or bailed out, Smith stood alone in the fuselage of a shattered, nameless bomber and fought fires, treated wounded crew and fought off fighters. His ordeal is part of a forgotten mission that aircrews came to call the May Day Massacre. The skies over Europe in 1943 were a charnel house for U.S. pilots, who were being led by tacticians surprised by the brutal effectiveness of German defenses. By May 1943 the combat losses among bomb crews were a staggering 40 to 50 percent.＜br /＞ The backdrop of Smith's story intersects with some of the luminaries of aviation history, including Curtis Lemay, Ira Eaker and "Hap" Arnold, during critical times of their storied careers. ＜em＞Inferno＜/em＞ also examines Smith's life in a new, comprehensive light, through the use of exclusive interviews of those who knew him (including fellow MOH recipients and family) as well as public and archival records. This is both a thrilling and horrifying story of the air war over Europe during WWII and a fascinating look at one of America's forgotten heroes.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Grand Improvisation America Confronts the British Superpower, 1945?1957【電子書籍】[ Derek Leebaert ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A new understanding of the postwar power struggle between the fading British Empire and the rising American superpowerーwith insights for today: "Riveting." ー ＜em＞The Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ An enduring myth of the twentieth century is that the United States rapidly became a superpower in the years after World War II, when the British Empireーthe greatest in historyーwas too wounded to maintain a global presence. In fact, Derek Leebaert argues in ＜em＞Grand Improvisation＜/em＞, the idea that a traditionally insular United States suddenly transformed itself into the leader of the free world is illusory, as is the notion that the British colossus was compelled to retreat. The United States and the U.K. had a dozen abrasive years until Washington issued a "declaration of independence" from British influence. Only then did America explicitly assume leadership of the world order just taking shape.＜br /＞ Leebaert's character-driven narrative shows such figures as Churchill, Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennan in an entirely new light, while unveiling players of at least equal weight on pivotal events. Little unfolded as historians believe: the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan; the Korean War; America's descent into Vietnam. Instead, we see nonstop US improvisation until America finally lost all caution and embraced obligations worldwide, a burden we bear today.＜br /＞ Understanding all of this properly is vital to understanding the rise and fall of superpowers, why we're now skeptical of commitments overseas, how the Middle East plunged into disorder, why Europe is fracturing, what China intendsーand the ongoing perils to the US world role.＜br /＞ "A sturdy exploration of the lesser-known aspects of the Cold War, focusing on the rivalry between allies as much as enemies." ー ＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Rich with revealing details, anecdotes, and brilliantly wrought portraits of the key personalities.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Divided Memory The Nazi Past in the Two Germanys【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey Herf ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A "valuable" study of how political narratives about the nation's Nazi past differed in East and West Germany ( ＜em＞The Wall Street Journal＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜br /＞ A significant new look at the legacy of the Nazi regime, this book exposes the workings of past beliefs and political interests on howーand how differentlyーthe two Germanys recalled the crimes of Nazism, from the anti-Nazi emigration of the 1930s through the establishment of a day of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism in 1996.＜br /＞ Why, Jeffrey Herf asks, would German politicians raise the specter of the Holocaust at all, in view of the considerable support its authors and their agenda had found in Nazi Germany? Why did the public memory of Nazi anti-Jewish persecution and the Holocaust emerge, if selectively, in West Germany, while it was repressed and marginalized in "anti-fascist" East Germany? And how do the politics of left and right come into play in this divided memory? The answers reveal the surprising relationship between how the crimes of Nazism were publicly recalled and how East and West Germany separately evolved as a Communist dictatorship and a liberal democracy. This book, for the first time, points to the impact of the Cold War confrontation in both West and East Germany on the public memory of anti-Jewish persecution and the Holocaust.＜br /＞ Konrad Adenauer, Theodor Heuss, Kurt Schumacher, Willy Brandt, Richard von Weizsacker, and Helmut Kohl in the West and Walter Ulbricht, Wilhelm Pieck, Otto Grotewohl, Paul Merker, and Erich Honecker in the East are among the many national figures whose private and public papers and statements Herf examines. His work makes the German memory of Nazismーsuppressed on one hand and selective on the other, from Nuremberg to Bitburgーcomprehensible within the historical context of the ideologies and experiences of pre-1945 German and European history as well as within the international context of shifting alliances from World War II to the Cold War. Drawing on West German and East German archives, this book is a significant contribution to the history of belief that shaped public memory of Germany's recent past.＜br /＞ "Groundbreaking . . . admirably subjects both East and West to equal scrutiny." ー ＜em＞Forward＜/em＞＜br /＞ "[A] masterful book." ー ＜em＞German History＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】It Could Happen Here America on the Brink【電子書籍】[ Bruce Judson ]

＜p＞The severe economic downturn has been blamed on many things: deregulation, derivatives, greedy borrowers, negligent lenders. But could there be a deeper problem that is so severe, so long-lasting, and so dangerous that it makes these problems look like minor swerves in the road? Could we be facing an existential challenge to the promise of America, and to our system of government?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inequality in America has reached historical highs. Throughout human history, this level of disparity has proven intolerable, almost always leading to political upheaval. Though many believe that America will never face a second revolution, that our politics are stable, in ＜em＞It Could Happen Here＜/em＞, Yale School of Management senior faculty fellow Bruce Judson makes the case that revolution is a real possibility here, driven by a thirty-year, unprecedented rise of inequality through six presidencies, three Fed chairmen, three recessions, and many years of expansion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The last time inequality rivaled current levels was in 1928, just before the Crash and the Great Depression. Today we are in worse shape, divided into a tiny plutocracy of super-rich, on the one hand, and a fragile, indebted, unprotected "former middle class" on the other. As Judson shows, revolutions can occur suddenly, as happened with the Soviet Union's 1991 dissolution, and America today exhibits the central precursors to a collapseーextreme economic inequality and an increasingly impoverished middle class. He makes the most disturbing case yet for why our economics are leading us inevitably toward a devastating crisis.When Franklin Roosevelt faced a similar situa-tion, he was saved by World War II. This time, the conflict may be at home, not abroad.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The debate has intensified over whether life exists outside our solar system, what that life would look like, and whether we'll ever make contact.＜br /＞ Included here are essays from a broad spectrum of the scientific community: cosmologists, astrophysicists, NASA planetary scientists, and geneticists, to name just a few, discussing the latest research and theories relating to alien life. Some of the topics include: If life exists somewhere in space, what are the odds that it evolves into something we would recognize as intelligent? What will space travel look like in the future, and will it all be done by cyborg technology? How long until we are ruled by robot overlords? (This is actually a serious consideration.) Are we simply a simulation in the mind of some supreme being, acting out a virtual reality game?＜br /＞ For those who have ever wondered, ＜em＞Is there anybody out there?＜/em＞ here are the latest theories and evidence that move us closer to answering that question.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Transforming The Soul: Volume 1【電子書籍】[ Rudolf Steiner ]

＜p＞The spiritual-scientific investigator has ... to transform the soul itself into an instrument; then - when his soul is awakened and he can see into a spiritual world - he experiences, on a higher level, a similar great moment as blind people do when, having been operated upon, they look at a world they have not seen before. In a key series of lectures on personal development, Rudolf Steiner explains that the central mission of spiritual science is to enable people to ascend, in full consciousness, to a knowledge of spiritual realities. But given that the means to achieve spiritual perception are now widely available, the danger exists that some individuals will gain access to the spiritual world whilst harbouring impure motives. This can lead to a distorted understanding and vision of that world. Steiner's emphasis, therefore, is on the preparatory steps - the metamorphosis and purification of the human soul - required for achieving true spiritual enlightenment. Life itself teaches and prepares us for progress, and anthroposophy explains and brings this to consciousness. In some of his most lucid lectures, Steiner describes the missions of anger, truth and reverence, the significance of human character, the meaning of asceticism and illness, and the phenomenon of egoism. He also clarifies the differences between Buddhism and Christianity, describes the goal of spiritual science, and makes some esoteric observations about the moon. Throughout the talks Steiner refers to many significant historical figures, including St Augustine, Coleridge, Leonardo da Vinci, Madame Blavatsky, Goethe, Homer, and Shakespeare.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

But no matter how enormous the crisis -- the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong -- America's always come out looking like, well, America.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're ＜em＞f&#!$d up beyond all recognition＜/em＞.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Way of the World A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism【電子書籍】[ Ron Suskind ]

＜p＞From Pulitzer Prize?winning journalist and bestselling author Ron Suskind comes a startling look at how America lost its way and at the nation's struggle, day by day, to reclaim the moral authority upon which its survival depends. From the White House to Downing Street, from the fault-line countries of South Asia to the sands of Guant?namo, Suskind offers an astonishing story that connects world leaders to the forces waging today's shadow wars and to the next generation of global citizens. Tracking down truth and hope within the Beltway and far beyond it, Suskind delivers historic disclosures with this emotionally stirring and strikingly original portrait of the post-9/11 world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a sweeping, propulsive, and multilayered narrative, ＜em＞The Way of the World＜/em＞ investigates how America relinquished the moral leadership it now desperately needs to fight the real threat of our era: a nuclear weapon in the hands of terrorists. ＜em＞Truth, justice,＜/em＞ and ＜em＞accountability＜/em＞ become more than mere words in this story. Suskind shows where the most neglected dangers lie in the story of "The Armageddon Test" ーa desperate gamble to send undercover teams into the world's nuclear black market to frustrate the efforts of terrorists trying to procure weapons-grade uranium. In the end, he finally reveals for the first time the explosive falsehood underlying the Iraq War and the entire Bush presidency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While the public and political realms struggle, ＜em＞The Way of the World＜/em＞ simultaneously follows an ensemble of characters in America and abroad who are turning fear and frustration into a desperateーand often daringーbrand of human salvation. They include a striving, twenty-four-year-old Pakistani ?migr?, a fearless UN refugee commissioner, an Afghan teenager, a Holocaust survivor's son, and Benazir Bhutto, who discovers, days before her death, how she's been abandoned by the United States at her moment of greatest need. They are all testing American values at a time of peril, and discovering solutionsーhuman solutionsーto so much that has gone wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For anyone hoping to exercise truly informed consent and begin the process of restoring the values and hopeーalong with the moral clarity and earned optimismーat the heart of the American tradition, ＜em＞The Way of the World＜/em＞ is a must-read.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Divided Mind of the Black Church Theology, Piety, and Public Witness【電子書籍】[ Raphael G Warnock ]

＜p＞＜strong＞An "altar call to action" from the U.S. senator and senior pastor at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church ( ＜em＞Publishers Weekly＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞What is the true nature and mission of the church? Is its proper Christian purpose to save souls, or to transform the social order? This question is especially fraught when the church is one built by an enslaved people and formed, from its beginning, at the center of an oppressed community's fight for personhood and freedom. Such is the central tension in the identity and mission of the Black church in the United States.＜br /＞ For decades the Black church and Black theology have held each other at arm's length. Black theology has emphasized the role of Christian faith in addressing racism and other forms of oppression, arguing that Jesus urged his disciples to seek the freedom of all peoples. Meanwhile, the Black church, even when focused on social concerns, has often emphasized personal piety rather than social protest. With the rising influence of white evangelicalism, biblical fundamentalism, and the prosperity gospel, the divide has become even more pronounced. This book traces the historical significance of the rise and development of Black theology as an important conversation partner for the Black church. Calling for honest dialogue between Black and womanist theologians and Black pastors, this fresh theological treatment demands a new look at the church's essential mission.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"An informative work for historians, theologians, and humanities scholars interested in debating what the Black Church needs to be doing in the 21st century." ー ＜em＞Journal of African American History＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"As a person who is not Black, reading this book provided a learning experience for me . . .

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Myth of a Christian Nation How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church【電子書籍】[ Gregory A. Boyd ]

＜p＞The church was established to serve the world with Christ-like love, not to rule the world. It is called to look like a corporate Jesus, dying on the cross for those who crucified him, not a religious version of Caesar. It is called to manifest the kingdom of the cross in contrast to the kingdom of the sword. Whenever the church has succeeded in gaining what most American evangelicals are now trying to get ? political power ? it has been disastrous both for the church and the culture. Whenever the church picks up the sword, it lays down the cross. The present activity of the religious right is destroying the heart and soul of the evangelical church and destroying its unique witness to the world. The church is to have a political voice, but we are to have it the way Jesus had it: by manifesting an alternative to the political, "power over," way of doing life. We are to transform the world by being willing to suffer for others ? exercising "power under," not by getting our way in society ? exercising "power over."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
