【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！】Dancing at the Dawn of Agriculture【電子書籍】[ Yosef Garfinkel ]

＜p＞As the nomadic hunters and gatherers of the ancient Near East turned to agriculture for their livelihood and settled into villages, religious ceremonies involving dancing became their primary means for bonding individuals into communities and households into villages. So important was dance that scenes of dancing are among the oldest and most persistent themes in Near Eastern prehistoric art, and these depictions of dance accompanied the spread of agriculture into surrounding regions of Europe and Africa.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this pathfinding book, Yosef Garfinkel analyzes depictions of dancing found on archaeological objects from the Near East, southeastern Europe, and Egypt to offer the first comprehensive look at the role of dance in these Neolithic (7000-4000 BC) societies. In the first part of the book, Garfinkel examines the structure of dance, its functional roles in the community (with comparisons to dance in modern pre-state societies), and its cognitive, or symbolic, aspects. This analysis leads him to assert that scenes of dancing depict real community rituals linked to the agricultural cycle and that dance was essential for maintaining these calendrical rituals and passing them on to succeeding generations. In the concluding section of the book, Garfinkel presents and discusses the extensive archaeological dataーsome 400 depictions of danceーon which his study is based.＜/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！】Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword The British Regiment on Campaign, 1808?1815【電子書籍】[ Andrew Bamford ]

＜p＞Although an army’s success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field. In ＜em＞Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword＜/em＞, military historian Andrew Bamford assesses the effectiveness of the British Army in sustained campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars. In the process, he offers a fresh and controversial look at Britain’s military system, showing that success or failure on campaign rested on the day-to-day experiences of regimental units rather than the army as a whole.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bamford draws his title from the words of Captain Moyle Sherer, who during the winter of 1816?1817 wrote an account of his service during the Peninsular War: “My regiment has never been very roughly handled in the field. . . But, alas! What between sickness, suffering, and the sword, few, very few of those men are now in existence.” Bamford argues that those daily scourges of such often-ignored factors as noncombat deaths and equine strength and losses determined outcomes on the battlefield.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the nineteenth century, the British Army was a collection of regiments rather than a single unified body, and the regimental system bore the responsibility of supplying manpower on that field. Between 1808 and 1815, when Britain was fighting a global conflict far greater than its military capabilities, the system nearly collapsed. Only a few advantages narrowly outweighed the army’s increasing inability to meet manpower requirements. This book examines those critical dynamics in Britain’s major early-nineteenth-century campaigns: the Peninsular War (1808?1814), the Walcheren Expedition (1809), the American War (1812?1815), and the growing commitments in northern Europe from 1813 on.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawn from primary documents, Bamford’s statistical analysis compares the vast disparities between regiments and different theatres of war and complements recent studies of health and sickness in the British Army.＜/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＞For everything Yahweh has established, the sworn enemy of our souls has a counterpart; a counterfeit that looks, tastes, and smells so much like the real thing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell the difference. Satan has counterfeited YHVHs design for healing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Removing gallstones today is a fairly simple procedure with few complications; however, did you know that gallstones are a physical symptom of the spiritual problem of bitterness? Wouldnt it make more sense to take care of the bitterness than to keep having gallstones removed? We have been sold a bill of goods by a counterfeit system, and we need to change that!＜/p＞ ＜p＞YHVH says, I am your Healer. Do you really believe it? When was the last time you prayed healing over someone and expected it to happen? Do you look for the cause of your headache or just pop an aspirin? We do not see healing, so we struggle to believe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We are spiritual beings, and healing is spiritual activity. We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in heavenly places. What would happen if believers stopped believing in liesif we stepped outside our comfort zones and really looked at this from a perspective of truth and facts?＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞His Healing Wings＜/em＞ is a compilation of years of research, personal experience, and spiritual growth in the area of healing. From the first moments of trying to find answers to the uncovering of schemes deliberately designed to deceive, author Sherri Rogers lays it all out in a way that is engaging and informative.

What role has the federal government played in implicitly grooming social conservatives like Louis Farrakhan to assume leadership positions as opposed to leftist, grassroots, class-oriented leaders?

【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！】Punishing the Black Body Marking Social and Racial Structures in Barbados and Jamaica【電子書籍】[ Dawn P. Harris ]

＜p＞＜em＞Punishing the Black Body＜/em＞ examines the punitive and disciplinary technologies and ideologies embraced by ruling white elites in nineteenth-century Barbados and Jamaica. Among studies of the Caribbean on similar topics, this is the first to look at the meanings inscribed on the raced, gendered, and classed bodies on the receiving end of punishment. Dawn P. Harris uses theories of the body to detail the ways colonial states and their agents appropriated physicality to debase the black body, assert the inviolability of the white body, and demarcate the social boundaries between them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Noting marked demographic and geographic differences between Jamaica and Barbados, as well as any number of changes within the separate economic, political, and social trajectories of each island, Harris still finds that societal infractions by the subaltern populations of both islands brought on draconian forms of punishments aimed at maintaining the socio-racial hierarchy. Her investigation ranges across such topics as hair-cropping, the 1836 Emigration Act of Barbados and other punitive legislation, the state reprisals following the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion in Jamaica, the use of the whip and the treadmill in jails and houses of correction, and methods of surveillance, policing, and limiting free movement. By focusing on meanings ascribed to the disciplined and punished body, Harris reminds us that the transitions between slavery, apprenticeship, and post-emancipation were not just a series of abstract phenomena signaling shifts in the prevailing order of things. For a large part of these islands’ populations, these times of dramatic change were physically felt.＜/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＞A timely look at the atmosphere of political hostility surrounding the Civil War, and the venom faced by America's sixteenth president.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today, Abraham Lincoln is a beloved American icon, widely considered to be our best president. It was not always so. This book takes a look at what Lincoln's contemporaries actually thought and said about him during his lifetime, when political hostilities, and ultimately civil war, raged.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The era in which our sixteenth president lived and governed was the most rough-and-tumble in the history of American politics. The hostility behind the criticism aimed at Lincoln by the great men of his time, on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, is startling, the spectacular prejudice against him often shocking for its cruelty, intensity, and unrelenting vigor. The plain truth is that Lincoln was deeply reviled by many in his time. This book is both an entertaining read and a well-researched, serious look at the political context that begat the president's predicament.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lincoln's humanity has been unintentionally trivialized by some historians and writers who have hidden away the real man in a patina of bronze. This book helps us better understand the man he was, and how history is better and more clearly viewed through a long-distance lens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Not the warm and fuzzy portrait we're used to seeing . . . An eye-opening study, the first of its kind to focus on what Lincoln's contemporaries really thought of him. On the other hand, this is not mean-spirited Lincoln-bashing . . . Tagg assesses his presidency through the social and political context of mid-19th century America. It was a time, for example, when 'the rabid press routinely destroyed the reputations of public men,' when the stature of the presidency, 'stained by feeble performances from a string of the poorest presidents in the nation's history,' had plunged over decades." ー ＜em＞Civil War Times Magazine＜/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。

Fascinating anecdotes, eye-witness accounts and the hard-won experiences of the battle-scarred American "fly-boys" reveal the grim realities of air combat at four miles high above enemy occupied Europe, Berlin and the Ruhr. "Grown up in the war" they paint a revealing picture as only they can.＜br /＞ The "Mighty Eighth" was an air force of hard-fighting, hard-playing fliers who suffered more casualties than the entire US Marine Corps in the Pacific Campaign. Here, in their own words are stories of survival and soul-numbing loss, of "fly-boys" who came together to fight an air war of the ferocity that had never been fought on such a vast scale before. While RAF Bomber Command was waging war at night, 8th Air Force B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators bombed by day in a 24-hour "round the clock" campaign. This is also a partly strategic history with a behind-the-scenes look at deployment of the bomber groups and the fighter escorts that would eventually become their salvation on the interminable deep penetration raids into the Greater Reich.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"A riveting account of young men fighting for their lives on a daily basis . . .

＜p＞＜strong＞A comprehensive investigation of household life during the Upper Paleolithic era.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞What was home and family like in Paleolithic Europe? How did mobile hunter-gatherer families live, work, and play together in the fourteenth millennium BP? What were the functional and spatial constraints and markers of their domesticity-the processes that create and sustain a household?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite the long recognized absence of comprehensive archaeological data on such ancient homes and hearths, the archaeologists in this volume begin unraveling the domesticity of the Upper Paleolithic by drawing on both an immense trove of new material evidence and comparative site data, and a range of incisive and illuminating ethnographic analogies, theoretical models, and simulations. Five Late Magdalenian sites from the Paris Basin and one later Azilian site provide striking evidence of well preserved camps of short duration, situated on valley bottoms and buried by gentle floods. Of particular interest and value is the site of Verberie, rich in lithic tools, faunal remains, hearts, and other indicators of spatial organization, which has been excavated continuously for twenty-six years by the same director and provides an unparalleled source of information on Paleolithic domesticity. The first group of essays and reports look at the technology and demographic evidences of domesticity; the second set seeks clues to the spatial patterning of Paleolithic households; while the final essays draw on ethnographic analogies to reconstruct and interpret gendered divisions of labor, perishable technologies, and other activities not directly recognizable from archaeological remains.＜/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 Brotherhood of Freemason Sisters Gender, Secrecy, and Fraternity in Italian Masonic Lodges【電子書籍】[ Lilith Mahmud ]

＜p＞＜strong＞This "stupendous ethnography of female Freemasonry in Italy" reveals the fascinating paradox of elitism and exclusion experienced by "female brothers" ( Michael Herzfeld, author of ＜em＞Evicted from Eternity＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞From its cryptic images on the dollar bill to Dan Brown's ＜em＞The Lost Symbol＜/em＞, the Freemasons have long been one of the most romanticized secret societies in the world. But a simple fact escapes most depictions of this elite brotherhood: there are also female members. In this groundbreaking ethnography, Lilith Mahmud takes readers inside Masonic lodges of contemporary Italy, where she observes the ritualistic and fraternal bonds forged among Freemason women.＜br /＞ Offering a tantalizing look behind lodge doors, ＜em＞The Brotherhood of Freemason Sisters＜/em＞ unveils a complex culture of discretion in which Freemasons reveal some truths and hide others. Female initiatesーone of Freemasonry's best-kept secretsーare often upper class and highly educated, yet avowedly antifeminist. Their self-cultivation through the Masonic path is an effort to embrace the deeply gendered ideals of fraternity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this lively investigation, Mahmud unravels the contradictions at the heart of Freemasonry: an organization responsible for many of the egalitarian concepts of the Enlightenment and yet one that has always been, and in Italy still remains, extremely exclusive. The result is not only a thrilling look at a surprisingly influential world, but a reevaluation of the modern values we now take for granted＜/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！】Victims and Plea Negotiations Overlooked and Unimpressed【電子書籍】[ Arie Freiberg ]

＜p＞This book explores victims’ views of plea negotiations and the level of input that they desire. It draws on the empirical findings of the first in-depth study of victims and plea negotiations conducted in Australia. Over the last 50 years, the criminal justice system has seen major changes in both the role that victims play in the justice process and in how the vast majority of criminal cases are finalised. Guilty pleas have become the norm, and many of these result fromnegotiations between the prosecutor and the defence. The extent to which the victim is one of the participating parties in plea negotiations however, is a question of law and of practice. Drawing from focus groups and surveys with victims of crime, Victims and Plea Negotiations seeks to privilege victims’ voices and lived experiences of plea negotiations, to present their perspectives on five options for enhanced participation in this legal process. This book appeals to academicsand students in the areas of law, criminology, sociology, victimology and legal studies, those who practice in the criminal justice system generally, those who work with victims, and policy makers.＜/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。

If you're hungering for a good WWII East Front battle book, look no further." ーRuss Lockwood, ＜em＞Magweb.com＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In January 1944, around the village of Korsun (near the larger town of Cherkassy on the Dneiper), a disaster happened. Six divisions of Germany's Army Group South became surrounded after sudden attacks by the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts. The Germans' greatest fear was the prospect of another Stalingrad, the catastrophe that had occurred precisely one year before.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Due to both weather and ferocious resistance, the German drive to rescue their trapped divisions stalled. It soon became apparent that only one option remained for the beleaguered defenders: breakout. Without consulting Hitler, on the night of February 16 Erich von Manstein ordered the breakout to begin. Led by the strongest formation within the pocket, SS Wiking, the trapped forces surged out and soon rejoined the surrounding panzer divisions who had been fully engaged in weakening the ring. Stalin was left with little but an empty bag, as Army Group Southーthis timeーhad pulled off a rescue.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Korsun Pocket＜/em＞, Niklas Zetterling, a researcher at the Swedish Defense College since 1995, and Anders Frankson have provided a highly detailed and often breathtaking account of one of the most dramatic battles of World War II.

【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！】Passage to the World The Emigrant Experience, 1807?1940【電子書籍】[ Kevin Brown ]

＜p＞From the early nineteenth century onwards, literally millions of people left their homes to cross the seas. Some, like the convicts transported to Australia, had no choice; others like the indentured Indian and Chinese labourers had almost no alternative; but the vast majority were driven to escape war, famine or grinding poverty in Europe by seeking a new life abroad. Whatever their circumstances and wherever their destination, the one experience they all shared in common was the sea voyage.This book is centred on the rite of passage that marked the transition from one life to the other, tracing the story of the emigrant, through a fresh look at original sources and first-hand accounts, from the decision to emigrate, the journey to the port and the voyage itself, to arrival in the new world. It describes the emigrant trade, the differing conditions on board sailing ships and steamers, convict and coolie ships, and the perils of overcrowding, epidemics, fire, shipwreck and even cannibalism. It also investigates the varied receptions emigrants were likely to face not necessarily the welcome promised the homeless, tempest-tost by the Statue of Liberty.This unprecedented population shift left few European families untouched by emigration, while the present-day populations of the Americas and Australasia are dominated by the descendants of those who made the journey. This gives the emigrants story a universal interest.＜/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。
