【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 Future of Free Speech【電子書籍】[ Benjamin Walters ]

＜p＞This book dives headfirst into the contemporary controversy over the limits of free speech. Changing conceptions of what constitutes legitimate harm coupled with the advent of the internet and social media have provided a challenging environment for defining the boundaries of acceptable speech in our contemporary society. This book argues that these problems emerge due to flaws in our free speech framework, leaving the argument for free speech vulnerable to becoming inverted into a justification for censorship. In response, this book argues for a version of free speech based on a framework of toleration. Drawing on the work of the philosopher Rainer Forst, a new justification for free speech is formulated ? ＜em＞reflexive freedom of speech＜/em＞ ? which aims to overcome past issues and justify free speech in a way that is universal, consistent and just.＜/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！】LBJ and the Presidential Management of Foreign Relations【電子書籍】[ Paul Y. Hammond ]

＜p＞In this insightful study, Paul Y. Hammond, an experienced analyst of bureaucratic politics, adapts and extends that approach to explain and evaluate the Johnson administration's performance in foreign relations in terms that have implications for the post?Cold War era. The book is structured around three case studies of Johnson's foreign policy decision making. The first study examines economic and political development. It explores the way Johnson handled the provision of economic and food assistance to India during a crisis in India's food policies. This analysis provides lessons not only for dealing with African famine in later years but also for assisting Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The second case study focuses on U.S. relations with Western Europe at a time that seemed to require a major change in the NATO alliance. Here, Hammond illuminates the process of policy innovation, particularly the costs of changing well-established policies that embody an elaborate network of established interests. The third case study treats the Vietnam War, with special emphasis on how Johnson decided what to do about Vietnam. Hammond critiques the rich scholarship available on Johnson's advisory process, based on his own reading of the original sources. These case studies are set in a larger context of applied theory that deals more generally with presidential management of foreign relations, examining a president's potential for influence on the one hand and the constraints on his or her capacity to control and persuade on the other. It will be important reading for all scholars and policymakers interested in the limits and possibilities of presidential power in the post?Cold War era.＜/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！】How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) The World According to Ann Coulter【電子書籍】[ Ann Coulter ]

＜p＞Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers ＜em＞Treason＜/em＞, ＜em＞Slander＜/em＞, and ＜em＞High Crimes and Misdemeanors＜/em＞, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in yearsーand certainly the most controversial. Now, in ＜em＞How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)＜/em＞, which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, “Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it’s all true.” ＜em＞How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)＜/em＞ offers Coulter’s unvarnished take on:＜/p＞ ＜p＞?The essence of being a liberal: “The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞?John Kerry: “A reporter asked Kerry, ‘Are you for or against gay marriage?’ As usual, his answer was, ‘Yes.’ ”＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Her 9/11 comments: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!”＜/p＞ ＜p＞?The state of the Democratic Party: “Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party’s spiritual leader.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: “Tough love, except I don’t love them. My ‘tough love’ approach is much like the Democrats’ ‘middle-class tax cuts’ーeverything but the last word.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞?The “Treason Lobby”: “Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you’ll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publishー“what you could have read if you lived in a free country,” says Coulter. ＜em＞How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)＜/em＞ is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter’s commentary has achieved must-read status.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A fluent polemicist with a gift for Menckenesque invective...and she can harness such language to subtle, syllogistic argument.”--＜em＞Washington Post Book World＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Ann Coulter is a trailblazer.”--＜em＞Los Angeles Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“She can zing one-liners faster than Zeus can throw lightning bolts.”--＜em＞Kansas City Star＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“You know those pundits who bore you to tears trying to balance everyone’s point of view?

【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！】Pirates, Prisoners, and Lepers Lessons from Life Outside the Law【電子書籍】[ Sarah M. Robinson ]

＜p＞It has long been held that humans need government to impose social order on a chaotic, dangerous world. How, then, did early humans survive on the Serengeti Plain, surrounded by faster, stronger, and bigger predators in a harsh and forbidding environment? ＜em＞Pirates, Prisoners, and Lepers＜/em＞ examines an array of natural experiments and accidents of human history to explore the fundamental nature of how human beings act when beyond the scope of the law. Pirates of the 1700s, the leper colony on Molokai Island, prisoners of the Nazis, hippie communes of the 1970s, shipwreck and plane crash survivors, and many more diverse groupsーthey all existed in the absence of formal rules, punishments, and hierarchies. Paul and Sarah Robinson draw on these real-life stories to suggest that humans are predisposed to be cooperative, within limits.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What these “communities” did and how they managed have dramatic implications for shaping our modern institutions. Should today’s criminal justice system build on people’s shared intuitions about justice? Or are we better off acknowledging this aspect of human nature but using law to temper it? Knowing the true nature of our human character and our innate ideas about justice offers a roadmap to a better society.＜/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！】Against Sortition? The Problem with Citizens' Assemblies【電子書籍】[ Geoffrey Grandjean ]

＜p＞Sortition is widely used in our political systems to constitute citizen panels. It is now possible to study the limits of this method of selecting our political representatives. This book presents the institutionalization of sortition while questioning its political consequences in terms of representation and deliberation. Several examples are used, such as the Citizens' Climate Convention in France and the Conference on the Future of Europe. In the end, the book helps to identify the consequences of using sortition with regard to the principles of equality and inclusion. Above all, it offers readers the possibility of continuing to reflect on this method of random selection, while promoting the implementation of greater equality between citizens.＜/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 Future of the International Labour Organization in the Global Economy【電子書籍】[ Francis Maupain ]

＜p＞The International Labour Organization was created in 1919, as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended the First World War, to reflect the belief that universal and lasting peace can be accomplished only if it is based on social justice. As the oldest organisation in the UN system, approaching its 100th anniversary in 2019, the ILO faces unprecedented strains and challenges. Since before the financial crisis, the global economy has tested the limits of a regulatory regime which was conceived in 1919. The organisation's founders only entrusted it with balancing social progress with the constraints of an interconnected open economy, but gambled almost entirely on tools of persuasion to ensure that this would happen. Whether that gamble is still capable of paying-off is the subject of this book, by a former ILO insider with an unrivalled knowledge of its work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book forms part of a broader inquiry into the relevance of founding institutional principles to today's context, and strives to show that the bet made on persuasion may yet pay off. In part, the text argues that there may be little alternative anyway, showing that the pathways to more binding solutions are fraught with difficulty. It also shows the ILO's considerable future potential for promoting effective, universal regulations by extending its tools of persuasion in as yet insufficiently explored directions. Starting with an examination of how the organisation's institutional context differs from 93 years ago, the author goes on to evaluate the prospects of numerous proposals put forward today, including the trade/labour linkage, but going beyond this.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a case study in how strategic choices can be made under legal, social and institutional constraints, the book should be valuable not only to those with an interest in the ILO, but to anyone who studies international organisation, labour law, law and society or political economy.＜/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！】Mutiny on the Black Prince Slavery, Piracy, and the Limits of Liberty in the Revolutionary Atlantic World【電子書籍】[ James H. Sweet ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The dramatic story of a mutiny aboard an eighteenth-century British ship and how its owners effectively rallied the power of the British Crown to protect their investment and expand their wealth and political power across multiple generations.＜/strong＞ In 1768, the British slave ship ＜em＞Black Prince＜/em＞, departed the port of Bristol, bound for West Africa. It never arrived. Before reaching Old Calabar, the crew mutinied, murdering the captain and his officers. The mutineers renamed the ship ＜em＞Liberty＜/em＞, elected new officers, and set out for Brazil. By the time the ship arrived there, the crew had disintegrated into a violent mob and fired into the port city. After the ＜em＞Black Prince＜/em＞ wrecked off the coast of Hispaniola, the rebels fled to outposts around the Atlantic world. An eight-year manhunt ensued. This book follows the crew's turn to piracy and the merchant-owners' response to the uprising. At the very moment that the American Revolution unfolded in North America, the ＜em＞Black Prince＜/em＞'s owners conducted a "shadow" revolution, mobilizing the power of the British Crown to seek justice and restitution on their behalf. These private merchants used state surveillance, policing, extradition, capital punishment, international diplomacy, and even warfare in order to protect their wealth. During an era of professed liberty and freedom, the privatization of state power was already emerging, replacing monarchies with corporate oligarchies, presaging a new kind of political power in the Atlantic world. The eighteenth-century Bristol slave merchants and subsequent generations of their families accrued great fortunes from the trade and invested it in early British banks, railroads, insurance companies, industrial manufacturing, and even the Anglican Church. ＜em＞Mutiny on the Black Prince＜/em＞ narrates the dramatic story of the events onboard and the merchant owners' efforts to capture the rebels from around the Atlantic world, as well as the way that British slavery shaped the industrializing Atlantic economy and the evolution of the modern corporate state.＜/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！】In the Valley of the Kauravas A Divine Kingdom in the Western Himalaya【電子書籍】[ William S. Sax ]

＜p＞The isolated valleys of Rawain in the Western Himalaya are ruled by local gods who control the weather, provide justice, and regularly travel through their territories to mark their borders and to ward off incursions by rival gods. These, identified with Karna and Duryodhana from the great Indian epic ＜em＞Mahabharata＜/em＞, are regarded as divine kings whom local persons serve as priests, ministers, patrons, soldiers, and servants. Each divine king has an oracle, who is regularly summoned, enters into a trance, and speaks with the god's voice, appointing and dismissing officers, confiscating property, levying fines, and ratifying the decisions of councils of elders. The gods hear civil and sometimes criminal cases and, through their oracles, enforce their judgments through fines and penalties, or by compelling disputants to reach a compromise. ＜em＞In the Valley of the Kauravas＜/em＞ seeks to describe how this system functions by closely examining the myths, legends, rituals, and folklore associated with it, and above all by providing a detailed ethnographic description of its day-to-day workings. It contextualizes this system by comparing it with 'divine kingship' throughout history, in both South and Southeast Asia, and seeks to embed this historical and ethnographic analysis in a theoretical discussion of the nature, goals, and limits of anthropological knowledge of 'multiple worlds'. The chapters of the book are organized in terms of the 'seven limbs' of the classical Indian kingdom as described by the political philosopher Kautilya: king, land and people, minister, army, treasury, ally, and enemy.＜/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 Rule of Empires Those Who Built Them, Those Who Endured Them, and Why They Always Fall【電子書籍】[ Timothy Parsons ]

＜p＞In ＜em＞The Rule of Empires＜/em＞, Timothy Parsons gives a sweeping account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent twentieth-century embodiment. He explains what constitutes an empire and offers suggestions about what empires of the past can tell us about our own historical moment. Parsons uses imperial examples that stretch from ancient Rome, to Britain's "new" imperialism in Kenya, to the Third Reich to parse the features common to all empires, their evolutions and self-justifying myths, and the reasons for their inevitable decline. Parsons argues that far from confirming some sort of Darwinian hierarchy of advanced and primitive societies, conquests were simply the products of a temporary advantage in military technology, wealth, and political will. Beneath the self-justifying rhetoric of benevolent paternalism and cultural superiority lay economic exploitation and the desire for power. Yet imperial ambitions still appear viable in the twenty-first century, Parsons shows, because their defenders and detractors alike employ abstract and romanticized perspectives that fail to grasp the historical reality of subjugation. Writing from the perspective of the common subject rather than that of the imperial conquerors, Parsons offers a historically grounded cautionary tale rich with accounts of subjugated peoples throwing off the yoke of empire time and time again. In providing an accurate picture of what it is like to live as a subject, ＜em＞The Rule of Empires＜/em＞ lays bare the rationalizations of imperial conquerors and their apologists and exposes the true limits of hard power.＜/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！】Whale Hunter【電子書籍】[ Nelson Cole ]

＜p＞This is the narrative of a harpooner in the whale-ship Charles W Morgan, whose four-year voyage in 1849?1853 took him from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to the South Pacific and on around the world. Before the days of the whale-gun and its explosive warhead, whaling was a dangerous and far from one-sided pursuit indeed, one of Haleys earliest experiences was the destruction of his boat by a whale attack, and even when the harpoon hit the target, the whaleboat would be towed at speed until the wounded whale was exhausted, a terrifying experience that was known to whalemen as a Nantucket sleigh ride. Haleys narrative covers all the excitements and dangers of the business like trying to work on a slippery whale carcass, while the surrounding waters seethed with sharks but also encompasses the long hours of boredom, when sailors entertained each other with tall tales. Many are recounted, and, surprisingly, some of the least likely can be corroborated. In fact, Haleys anecdotes of the South Seas in transition form one of the great appeals of the book. On the one hand there were still hostile islands with murderous inhabitants, while others had been so strongly influenced by Christian missionaries that pleasures of the flesh were now entirely off-limits.Whaling was, in effect, the first oil industry, a high-risk business where huge fortunes were to be made. Haleys is the authentic voice of those that chose its dangers.＜/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＞You know their names. Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer. They are the titans of true crime, the monsters who have defined the very limits of human depravity. Their names are whispered synonyms for a particular kind of evil, their body counts the grim benchmark against which all other horror is measured.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The man you are about to meet in these pages murdered more people than all of them combined. ＜strong＞And for nearly fifty years, you did not know his name.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Welcome to the story of Samuel Little, a man who was not just a serial killer, but a human plague. For half a century, he drifted through the dark, forgotten underbelly of America. He was the charming, talkative stranger in the soup kitchen, the sad-eyed man at the end of the bar, the harmless figure who offered a kind word and a ride to the lost and the lonely. And in the back of his stolen cars, in the filth of cheap motel rooms, and in the dark woods of a dozen different states, he revealed his true face: that of a demon whose only path to ecstasy was through the brutal, and hands-on act of extinguishing a human life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a ＜strong＞288-page novel of true horror＜/strong＞, an unflinching and meticulously researched descent into the abyss. Based on thousands of pages of police reports, court transcripts, and the killer's own smiling, videotaped confessions, ＜em＞AMERICA'S DEADLIEST＜/em＞ is a journey into the heart of a man who perfected the art of the invisible murder. You will be forced to witness, in graphic and unsparing detail, the methodical cruelty of a predator whose primary weapons were his boxer's fists and his profound understanding of human desperation. This is a story that does not just tell you about evil; it forces you to sit in the passenger seat as the monster drives his victims to the end of the night.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But this book is not just about the demon. It is a memorial to the ninety-three souls he consumed. You will not just read a list of names; you will get to know the victims. You will meet Marianne Sample, a mother trying to get home to her son in Miami. You will meet Anna, a laid-off factory worker in Ohio, desperately trying to buy a Christmas doll for her daughter. You will meet the runaways, the addicts, the invisible women whose lives were lived in the margins and whose disappearances were met with a collective, societal shrug. You will know their stories, you will feel their hopes, and you will be a witness to the final, terrifying moments of their lives, making their loss not a statistic, but a visceral, personal, and unforgettable blow.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the story of a fifty-year hunt, of a systemic failure of justice so profound it allowed a man to kill with impunity in nearly every state in the union. It is the story of the patient, relentless Texas Ranger who finally seduced the devil into telling the truth. And it is the story of the nameless ghosts who, through the chilling, charcoal sketches of their own killer, have finally been given a chance to have their names spoken.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is an ordeal. It is a journey into the dark heart of a man who was not a complex genius, but a simple, smiling, and utterly empty void. It is a story designed to crawl under your skin and stay there, a story that will change the way you see the anonymous faces on the street forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞If you have the courage to confront the deadliest evil America has ever produced, the story is waiting.＜/strong＞＜/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＞"Three thoughtful contributions . . . attempt to deepen and extend an emerging discussion about the limits to African American freedom and autonomy." ー ＜em＞Slavery & Abolition＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ President Abraham Lincoln freed millions of slaves in the South in 1863, rescuing them, as history tells us, from a brutal and inhuman existence and making the promise of freedom and equal rights. This is a moment to celebrate and honor, to be sure, but what of the darker, more troubling side of this story? ＜em＞Slavery's Ghost＜/em＞ explores the dire, debilitating, sometimes crushing effects of slavery on race relations in American history.＜br /＞ In three conceptually wide-ranging and provocative essays, the authors assess the meaning of freedom for enslaved and free Americans in the decades before and after the Civil War. They ask important and challenging questions: How did slaves and freedpeople respond to the promise and reality of emancipation? How committed were white southerners to the principle of racial subjugation? And in what ways can we best interpret the actions of enslaved and free Americans during slavery and Reconstruction? Collectively, these essays offer fresh approaches to questions of local political power, the determinants of individual choices, and the discourse that shaped and defined the history of black freedom.＜br /＞ Written by three prominent historians of the period, ＜em＞Slavery's Ghost＜/em＞ forces readers to think critically about the way we study the past, the depth of racial prejudice, and how African Americans won and lost their freedom in nineteenth-century America.＜/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＞Jaqueline is a 19-year-old girl. Full of life and dreams, she thinks of a better future for herself and her brother Maur?cio, ten years younger than her. They are the children of Rosemary, a nursing technician at a public hospital in Vila Velha, Esp?rito Santo. Jaqueline's father died a few years ago, and her mother married Dimas, a womanizer and a fan of aguardiente. Dimas has been sexually abusing Jaqueline since she became a child. She tries to tell her mother the truth, but Rosemary, jealous and possessive as well as very insecure, does not believe her daughter. Rosemary dies and Jaqueline and Maur?cio no longer want to live with Dimas. After all, there is no longer any bond between them. During a fight, Jaqueline stabs Dimas. He falls practically lifeless, and she and her brother flee to Rio de Janeiro. There, Jaqueline is unable to find work and she becomes a prostitute at the invitation of Lampi?o, a pimp in the port area. Through Lampi?o, Jaqueline meets federal deputy Igor Lafayete, a man with the most bizarre sexual desires. He subjects Jaqueline to uncomfortable intimate situations. She puts up with everything in silence because she needs to play the role of a sister. Lafayete has an advisor - later he is known to be his half-brother -, C?zar. He tries to help Jaqueline within his limits and also to free himself from the clutches of Lafayete, who eventually becomes fascinated by Jaqueline, he even thinks of killing his wife, Sophia. Dimas reappears alive. The encounter between him and Jaqueline provokes another tragedy. At the same time, the story of Alice married to Lucian, daughter of Eve and Celso, unfolds. She has a sister, Denise. Both of them get along very well until a secret from their parents' past comes to light and changes their relationship and lives.

Interesting fact: they are the same person, and Jaqueline lived in 2015. Alice lives in 2219. Would they be two incarnations told in the same story?

＜p＞Its almost impossible to believe that on an average weekend eight people died in road accidents in Victoria in the late 1960s with a low of four and a high of an incredible sixteen.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Geoff Quayle joined Commonwealth Department of Shipping and Transport in 1967 determined to play a role in doing something about these stark statistics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This memoir is an insiders account of the organised activity that it took to promote meaningful traffic safety reforms in Australia, weaving personal anecdotes into the historical account.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first steps taken in Australia were to enact strict drink-driving laws and then make seat belt wearing compulsory. However, he cautions against concentrating on ever more restrictive legislative measures to reduce the death toll on the roads that is barely as third of what it was in 1970.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rather, he sees a continuing need to adapt the road and traffic environment to the capabilities, limitations and needs of people rather than the other way around.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Quayle argues that the automated enforcement of speed limits that bear little relationship to the risk of crashing on the safest roads, whilst failing to guide drivers as to what is a safe speed elsewhere, only compounds the problem.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As he recalls a career devoted to traffic safety, he reflects on what still needs to be done today, noting that while Australia has come a long way, it would be a dreadful mistake to revisit the blind alleys of the past.＜/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！】One quotes on all being one【電子書籍】[ Susan Shepard ]

＜p＞from the introduction: When I look in the mirror I see one person. Is that who I really am? No, everything that is physical is just an illusion. I believe I am so much more than my mind ? that is the ego. I am All Love. If I turn off the light I can still feel my body but could I know for sure that after some time I would have the same image. No, images change… your hair gets white as you get older and you get a few wrinkles. Does who you really are change? From the time I was very young, I have always known that there is a core of love in every single person. This is in essence who we truly are. It is unlimited. It is our Divine-Self. Some people realize their very essence more than others. This essence of love within us all is the same in everyone. It has no boundaries or limits. It is Love.＜/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＞Most people agree that every child deserves an equal chance to flourish. Most also value family life. Yet the family plays a surprisingly crucial part in maintaining inequality from one generation to the next. The children of disadvantaged parents typically achieve less and die younger. Early in their school careers, even the most able among them fall behind their better-off peers. They are then 8 times less likely to attend a top university. In the UK, as in other rich countries, the ‘playing-field’ is anything but level.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores how seemingly mundane aspects of family life ? from the right to inherit income, to the reading of bedtime stories ? raise fundamental questions of social justice. Taking fairness seriously, it argues, means rethinking what equality of opportunity means.＜/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 Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide【電子書籍】[ Robin D. G. Kelley ]

＜p＞＜em＞The Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide＜/em＞ is ＜em＞Boston Review＜/em＞’s 50th anniversary issue. This milestone issue features many of our longtime contributors, including Robin D. G. Kelley, Vivian Gornick, and Elaine Scarry, and celebrates classics from our archive. In this issue, historian and ＜em＞Boston Review＜/em＞ contributing editor ＜strong＞Robin D. G. Kelley＜/strong＞ revisits Noam Chomsky’s landmark 1967 essay, “The Responsibility of Intellectuals,” published near the height of the Vietnam War. The essay’s dissident injunctionーthat those in privileged positions have a duty to “speak the truth and expose lies”ーremains a powerful call to conscience, Kelley argues, but the anti-fascist and anti-colonial struggles of even earlier decades reveal its limits, and they show how to refuse and resist complicity in our own age of fascism and genocide. Political philosopher ＜strong＞Martin O’Neill＜/strong＞, Palestinian human rights lawyer ＜strong＞Jennifer Zacharia＜/strong＞, and historian ＜strong＞David Waldstreicher＜/strong＞ expand on what this moment requiresーof intellectuals, of journalists, and of us all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Also in the issue, ＜strong＞Vivian Gornick＜/strong＞ reviews Shulamith Firestone’s ＜em＞Airless Spaces＜/em＞, ＜strong＞Elaine Scarry＜/strong＞ challenges the wisdom that Plato banished the poets, ＜strong＞Brandon M. Terry＜/strong＞ interviews political scientist ＜strong＞Cathy Cohen＜/strong＞ about social movements and the future of Black politics, ＜strong＞Joelle M. Abi-Rached＜/strong＞ exposes the contradictions of the liberal international order over Gaza, ＜strong＞Samuel Hayim Brody＜/strong＞ reviews three memoirs on the Arab Jewish world destroyed by colonialism, ＜strong＞David Austin Walsh＜/strong＞ explains what Zohran Mamdani’s triumph means for the future of the Democratic Party, and ＜strong＞Sandeep Vaheesan＜/strong＞ looks to the New Deal to assess the “abundance” agenda.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Plus, seven writers reflect on notable essays from our archive in a special anniversary feature:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞Susan Faludi＜/strong＞ on ＜strong＞Vivian Gornick＜/strong＞ and anti-feminism＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞Naomi Klein＜/strong＞ on ＜strong＞William Callison＜/strong＞ + ＜strong＞Quinn Slobodian＜/strong＞ and the global right＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞Jay Caspian Kang＜/strong＞ on ＜strong＞Ol?f??mi O.

【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 Paris Catacombs A Secret History of Underground Paris【電子書籍】[ Fabrizio de Gennaro ]

＜p＞Beneath the streets of Paris lies a forbidden underground world: nearly 300 kilometers of tunnels that run deeper than the city's sewers and metro lines. These mysterious passageways bear hidden traces of key moments in history ー from the French Revolution and the Paris Commune to the failed coup of 1937 by the Cagoule, the German occupation, and Cold War nuclear shelters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The catacombs stretch 15 to 25 meters below ground, sometimes across two or three levels. Originally ancient stone quarries, they provided the materials to build many of the city’s iconic monuments. Today, these underground tunnels offer a rare glimpse into a forgotten Paris ー a city whose hidden stories remain buried beneath the surface.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Officially, only a small portion of the catacombs is open to the public: about 6 kilometers beneath the Left Bank, housing the remains of six million Parisians from the city's former cemeteries. But beyond this section, hundreds of kilometers of tunnels remain off-limits. Adventurous explorers, known as cataphiles, defy the authorities to venture inside, often accessing the network through manhole covers and hidden shafts that are frequently sealed off or reinforced.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Entry to these dark passages has long been forbidden. Yet throughout history, people have used them to hide, escape, or move discreetly through the city during turbulent times. The catacombs played a role during the French Revolution, the Paris Commune, and other uprisings ー even earning a mention in 19th-century literature and more recently in Umberto Eco’s The Prague Cemetery.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In more modern times, these tunnels served a strategic purpose. In 1937, the far-right paramilitary group known as the Cagoule attempted a little-known fascist coup from the underground. During World War II, the German occupiers built air-raid bunkers in the tunnels, while members of the French Resistance used them as a hidden headquarters during the city’s liberation. In the Cold War era, secret nuclear shelters were quietly built beneath public buildings, far from the public’s knowledge.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the 1980s, the catacombs have become the setting for clandestine parties, where small groups of students and thrill-seekers evade authorities and navigate this forbidden underworld ー even as the entrances are periodically sealed shut.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Exploring the Paris catacombs means diving into centuries of forgotten stories and hidden histories ー an underground city that holds the secrets of a tumultuous past.＜/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。

This impassioned dialogue cuts through all the theories, platitudes, and controversies that surround parenting advice to define what every child must have in the first years of life.

What is the effect of shifting caregivers, of custody arrangements? Why are we knowingly letting children fail in school? Nothing is off limits, even such an issue as whether every child needs or deserves to be a wanted child. This short, hard-hitting book, the fruit of decades of experience and caring, sounds a wake-up call for parents, teachers, judges, social workers, policy makers-anyone who cares about the welfare of children.＜/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 Excellence of Faith【電子書籍】[ Dr. Nosayaba Evbuomwan ]

＜p＞The Excellence of Faith is a treatise that aims to discuss this all-important subject from multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview that would benefit the body of Christ. The subject of faith, although commonly discussed, is perhaps not fully appreciated, understood, and applied by many Christians. The book goes at length to provide many definitions, explanations, expositions, and practical application of biblical principles of faith. The book begins with some apologetics of the Christian faith as the faith and our most holy faith. Part of the impetus for writing the book is the phrase the just shall live by faith, which is repeated four times throughout the Bible. Sufficient attempt was made at a comprehensive expos of the phrase and using it as the basis for discussing foundational truths and principles of faith. Pleasing God and living a victorious and profitable/productive Christian life are elucidated as part of the purpose and necessity for faith. The book extensively discusses the personalization/ownership of our faith as well as the tangibility and reality of faith as a spiritual force to be employed in a believers life on daily basis. Some heroes of faith, based on Hebrews 11, were examined. The book also discussed the concept of types and levels/degrees/measures of faith as well as factors that can hinder our faith. The aim here is to be aware and then develop mitigating strategies against limits to our faith. In living by faith, understanding of certain key/important attributes from the scriptures are discussed extensively. Although an invisible force, biblical faith is always followed by a corresponding action of visible good works. Faith in practice, therefore, always produces a manifestation for all to see. This truth was also discussed in the book. The book concludes with how faith is acquired, developed, maintained, and matured as the believer grows to become like the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the emphasis on the truth that biblical manifestation of faith always works by Gods love.＜/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 Duplicity of Philosophy's Shadow Heidegger, Nazism, and the Jewish Other【電子書籍】[ Elliot R. Wolfson ]

＜p＞Martin Heidegger (1889?1976) is considered one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century in spite of his well-known transgressionsーhis complicity with National Socialism and his inability to show remorse or compassion for its victims. In ＜em＞The Duplicity of Philosophy’s Shadow＜/em＞, Elliot R. Wolfson intervenes in a debate that has seen much attention in scholarly and popular media from a unique perspective, as a scholar of Jewish mysticism and philosophy who has been profoundly influenced by Heidegger’s work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wolfson sets out to probe Heidegger’s writings to expose what remains unthought. In spite of Heidegger’s explicit anti-Semitic statements, Wolfson reveals some crucial aspects of his thinkingーincluding criticism of the biological racism and militant apocalypticism of Nazismーthat betray an affinity with dimensions of Jewish thought: the triangulation of the concepts of homeland, language, and peoplehood; Jewish messianism and the notion of historical time as the return of the same that is always different; inclusion, exclusion, and the status of the other; the problem of evil in kabbalistic symbolism. Using Heidegger’s own methods, Wolfson reflects on the inextricable link of truth and untruth and investigates the matter of silence and the limits of speech. He challenges the tendency to bifurcate the relationship of the political and the philosophical in Heidegger’s thought, but parts company with those who write off Heidegger as a Nazi ideologue. Ultimately, ＜em＞The Duplicity of Philosophy’s Shadow＜/em＞ argues, the greatness and relevance of Heidegger’s work is that he presents us with the opportunity to think the unthinkable as part of our communal destiny as historical beings.＜/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！】Lone Star Marine A Biography Of The Late Colonel John W. Thomason, Jr., U.S.M.C.【電子書籍】[ Col. Roger Willcock U.S.M.R. ]

＜p＞A fascinating biography of veteran Marine Corps officer Colonel John W. Thomason, dedicated soldier and talented artist.＜br /＞ "On a spring morning in 1917, in fact the very day the United States declared war on Germany, a twenty-four-year-old Texan strode into the recruiting office of the Marine Corps branch of the Texas Naval Militia at Houston, and let it be known somewhat emphatically to authority there present that he desired to enlist. They assigned him to Company A, 1st Texas Battalion of Marines, and the same day they packed him off on the first train through town bound for New Orleans.＜br /＞ "Within a month's time he was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, and for the ensuing twenty-seven years he was to devote his life to that branch of the naval service. During those years he served within the continental limits of the United States, in France and Germany, aboard ship and ashore in the Caribbean, in Cuba, in certain of the Central American Republics, in the Orient, and briefly in the South Pacific.＜br /＞ "This newly-commissioned young officer, John William Thomason, Jr., of Huntsville, Texas, brought with him into the Marine Corps a variety of skills and talents. Throughout his service career he was to continue to employ his unusual abilities and to develop them and to contribute materially not only to the betterment of his Corps but also to his fellow comrades. He was unique in a service where uniqueness is not unknown but rather wherein individuality is encouraged for the common good. His record in combat as well as in the administrative field was outstanding in a military organization long known to demand perfection as a matter of course. And at his death in 1944, it would appear he left the artistic, the literary, and the military worlds far wealthier than he had found them."＜/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。
