Unfair Trade The shocking truth behind ‘ethical’ business【電子書籍】[ Conor Woodman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Many of our favourite brands now openly espouse 'ethical' credentials, so how is it that they can import billions of pounds' worth of goods from the developing world every year while leaving the people who produce them barely scraping a living? Are they being cynically opportunistic? Or is it that global commerce will always be incompatible with the eradication of poverty? And, if so, are charity and fair trade initiatives the only way forward?</p> <p>In <em>Unfair Trade</em> Conor Woodman travels the world - from Nicaragua to the Congo and from Laos to Afghanistan - to establish the truth. In the course of his journeys he uncovers some truly shocking stories about the way big business operates, but he also sees a way forward that could reconcile the apparently irreconcilable.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>An ethical framework and vision of free time for social goodーand how to achieve it.</p> <p>In the work-centric culture of today’s world, it is easy to view free time as indulging laziness or extravagance.Conor M. Kelly, however, argues that free time possesses enormous potential for good if exercised in accordance with theological ethics.</p> <p>By examining pursuits such as television, digital media use, sports, and travel from the perspective of Catholic solidarity, Kelly demonstrates how individuals can choose new free time activities or restructure current pursuits to be more relational and socially conscious.</p> <p>The first book to use the Catholic theological tradition to explore the importance of free time, The Fullness of Free Time addresses a crucial topic in the ethics of everyday life, providing a useful framework for scholars and students of moral theology, philosophy, and political theory, as well as anyone hoping to make their free time more meaningful.</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。

First in Peace How George Washington Set the Course for America【電子書籍】[ Conor Cruise O'Brien ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Just before he died after a long and distinguished international career as a politician, commentator, and author, Conor Cruise O'Brien completed a study of George Washington's presidency. Cruise O'Brien has been described as a man who so persistently asks the right questions” (<em>The Economist</em>), and in this, his last book, he explores the question of how early America's future was determined.</p> <p><em>First in Peace</em> considers the dissension between Washington and Jefferson during the first U.S. presidency, and reveals Washington's clear-sighted political wisdom while exposing Jefferson's dangerous ideology. Cruise O'Brien makes the case that Washington, not Jefferson, was the true democrat, and commends his clarity of vision in restoring good relations with Britain, his preference for order and pragmatism, and his aversion to French political extremism.</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。

Don't take another step on your journey without knowing exactly the methods and principles that will allow you to get strong, and stay strong forever.</p> <p>You can be born strong.

The Temporality of Determinacy Functional Relations in Metaphysics and Science【電子書籍】[ Conor Husbands ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Metaphysics has often held that laws of nature, if legitimate, must be time-independent. Yet mounting evidence from the foundations of science suggests that this constraint may be obsolete. This book provides arguments against this atemporality conjecture, which it locates both in metaphysics and in the philosophy of science, drawing on developments in a range of fields, from the foundations of physics to the philosophy of finance. It then seeks to excavate an alternative philosophical lineage which reconciles time-dependent laws with determinism, converging in the thought of Immanuel Kant.</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。

Taxes and Development The Promise of Domestic Resource Mobilization【電子書籍】[ Conor M. Savoy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>There is real promise for developing economies in the mobilization of their own domestic resources. For example, in 2010, tax revenue on the Africa continent was eight times larger than the foreign assistance received. And as aid levels from wealthy nations continue to be uncertain, countries have an impetus to finance their own development in order to deliver responsible, transparent public servicesーall of which require a strong tax base from the formal sector. The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation, launched in 2011 at Busan, relies heavily on this principle of domestic resource mobilization as a means of country ownership. How we leverage the expertise of donor governments in partnership with local governments in implementing this agenda is key to its success.</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>After successfully closing the Bloodthirsty case, Jim Donaghue now heads his own unit in Washington. His mission: tracking down and capturing serial and mass murderers. With full authority from the highest-ranking officials of the FBI in his pocket, the lead special agent and his team are more effective than ever.</p> <p>Following the wrap-up of a successful investigation, Donaghue is taking a well-earned break at his secluded weekend cabin when an unexpected message reaches him. An old acquaintance is asking him to make contact. Despite his misgivings, the agent calls back, only to be met with hair-raising claims.</p> <p>Donaghue decides to check out the story and soon finds himself on the road to Kentucky to verify whether there’s any truth to what the informant said. But there’s always the possibility that this is just a trap to settle an old score and lure him into danger.</p> <p>Upon arrival, Donaghue quickly realizes that the informant's claims might hold more water than he’d expected. As he digs deeper into the case, he discovers that while everyone in town appears friendly, the community is far from united. Secrets are currency, and most residents use what they know to serve their own interests. One thing they all agree on: Here, you’re never alone.</p> <p>As Donaghue begins his investigation, the killer gets into full swing, picking off victims seemingly at random. But all of Donaghue’s instincts tell him that speed is of the essence, because the Butcher isn’t killing on a whim. He’s got a purpose, and when he’s accomplished it, he’ll vanish without a trace.</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。

Debating the Eighth Repeal or Retain?【電子書籍】[ Conor O’Riordan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The contentious 1983 Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland introduced a constitutional prohibition on the provision of abortion within the Irish State. In the decades since, further referendums, court cases and legislation have tried to adjust and clarify the scope of this provision, often in the midst of bitter and angry debate.</p> <p>With the current government promising a referendum on repealing the Eighth in May/June 2018, the debate is growing again. But in the midst of claim and counter-claim, media debates, Twitter rants and false news fears on Facebook, what are the arguments for retaining or repealing the Eighth? In <em>Debating the Eighth</em>, sixteen contributors put forward their positions on the defining issue of our generation. Gathered together in one volume are presented arguments from:</p> <ul> <li>Jan O’Sullivan, TD (Labour)</li> <li>Tracy Harkin, the Iona Institute</li> <li>Kate O’Connell, TD (Fine Gael)</li> <li>Niamh U? Bhriain, the Life Institute</li> <li>Catherine Connolly, TD (Independent)</li> <li>Declan Ganley, pro-life speaker and campaigner</li> <li>Br?d Smith, TD (People Before Profit)</li> <li>Bernadette Goulding, Women Hurt</li> <li>Ursula Barry, Co-Director of the Centre for Gender, Feminisms and Sexualities, UCD</li> <li>Dr Anthony McCarthy, Society for the Protection of Unborn Children</li> <li>Kevin Keane, President of Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union</li> <li>R?is?n Bradley, Fianna F?il (writing in a personal capacity)</li> <li>Valerie Tarico, psychologist and a social commentator</li> <li>Karen Gaffney, Karen Gaffney Foundation</li> <li>A Catholic priest (identified in the book)</li> <li>Mark Fitzpatrick, Arann Reformed Baptist Church</li> </ul> <p><em>Debating the Eighth</em> is unique in providing both sides of the debate with an equal platform to put forward their arguments. Its contributors include two women with personal experience of abortion, a person with Down’s syndrome and a Catholic priest arguing from a pro-choice perspective. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the forthcoming debate.</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。

A Sensory History of Ancient Warfare Reconstructing the Physical Experience of War in the Classical World【電子書籍】[ Conor Whately ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>How can we attempt to understand the experience of those involved in ancient battles, sieges and campaigns? What was the visual impact of seeing the massed ranks of the enemy approaching or the sky darkened with their arrows? How did it feel to be trapped in the press of bodies as phalanxes clashed shield to shield? What of the taste of dust on the march or the smell of split blood and entrails? What of the rumble of approaching cavalry, the clash of iron weapons and the screams of the dying? The assault on all five senses which must have occurred is the subject of this innovative book. Sensory history is a new approach that attempts to understand the full spectrum of the experience of the participants in history. Conor Whately is the first to apply the discipline in a dedicated study of warfare in the classical world. He draws on literary, archaeological, reconstructive and comparative evidence to understand the human experience of the ancient battlefield in unprecedented depth.</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。

Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts【電子書籍】[ Conor Carville ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts is the first book to comprehensively assess Beckett's knowledge of art, art history and art criticism. In his lifetime Beckett thought deeply about visual culture from ancient Egyptian statuary to Dutch realism, from Quattrocento painting to the modernists and after. Drawing on a wide range of published and unpublished sources, this book traces in forensic detail the development of Beckett's understanding of painting in particular, as that understanding developed from the late 1920s to the 1970s. In doing so it demonstrates that Beckett's thinking about art and aesthetics radically changes in the course of his life, often directly responding to the intellectual and historical contexts in which he found himself. Moving fluently between art history, philosophy, literary analysis and historical context, Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts rethinks the trajectory of Beckett's career, and reorients his relationship to modernism, late modernism and the avant-gardes.</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。

Moscow, December 25, 1991 The Last Day of the Soviet Union【電子書籍】[ Conor O'Clery ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The implosion of the Soviet Union was the culmination of a gripping game played out between two men who intensely disliked each other and had different concepts for the future. Mikhail Gorbachev, a sophisticated and urbane reformer, sought to modernize and preserve the USSR; Boris Yeltsin, a coarse and a hard drinking "bulldozer," wished to destroy the union and create a capitalist Russia. The defeat of the August 1991 coup attempt, carried out by hardline communists, shook Gorbachev's authority and was a triumph for Yeltsin. But it took four months of intrigue and double-dealing before the Soviet Union collapsed and the day arrived when Yeltsin could hustle Gorbachev out of the Kremlin, and move in as ruler of Russia.</p> <p>Conor O'Clery has written a unique and truly suspenseful thriller of the day the Soviet Union died. The internal power plays, the shifting alliances, the betrayals, the mysterious three colonels carrying the briefcase with the nuclear codes, and the jockeying to exploit the future are worthy of John Le Carr' or Alan Furst. The Cold War's last act was a magnificent dark drama played out in the shadows of the Kremlin.</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。

Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness Mugdars, Masculinity and Marketing【電子書籍】[ Conor Heffernan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Emerging in colonial India, the fitness fad that was Indian Club Swinging became a global exercise practice in the early 19th century. Used by physicians, soldiers, gymnasts, children and athletes alike, clubs were used to solve numerous social concerns and ills, and often prescribed to treat everything from depression to spinal abnormalities. This book provides a definitive account of the rise and spread of club swinging as it spread from India to Europe and America, asking why and how it became so popular.</p> <p>Discussing the global, commercial fitness culture of the 19th century, <em>Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness</em> explores how the popularity of this exercise reflected much deeper global and domestic concerns about body image, military preparation and education. Addressing broader questions about nationalism, gender, race and popular commerce across the British Empire, it highlights the origins of our modern transnational fitness culture and shows how it intersected with global and colonial understandings of health, medicine and education.</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。

Homeland Insecurity The Rise and Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law【電子書籍】[ Conor Gearty ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the decades following the 9/11 attacks, complex webs of anti-terrorism laws have come into play across the world, promising to protect ordinary citizens from bombings, hijackings and other forms of mass violence. But are we really any safer? Has freedom been secured by active deployment of state power, or fatally undermined?</p> <p>In this groundbreaking new book, Conor Gearty unpacks the history of global anti-terrorism law, explaining not only how these regulations came about, but also the untold damage they have wrought upon freedom and human rights. Ranging from the age of colonialism to the Cold War, through the perennial crises in the Middle East to the exponential growth of terrorism discourse compressed into the first two decades of the 21st century, the coercion these laws embody is here to stay. The ‘War on Terror’ was something that colonial and neo-colonial liberal democracies had always been doingーand something that is not going away. Anti-terrorism law no longer requires terrorism to survive.</p> <p>Wide-ranging, elegant and with a perceptive analytical sting, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deep origins of terrorism and counter-terrorism, and how these concepts fundamentally shape the world we live in.</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 Truth About Love How to really fall in love - with your life and everyone in it【電子書籍】[ Conor Creighton ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>We are trained from the youngest of ages to imagine that love is a force outside of ourselves; that if you keep swiping, one day your prince will come; that love is something you have to look for, work for, diet for.</p> <p>The truth is: we are creators of love, not discoverers of love, and until we realise that love comes out of us, rather than to us, we'll never really get it or feel it.</p> <p>Conor Creighton learned this the hard way with a string of tumultuous relationships in his past. That was until, through meditation, he woke up to the powerful force that is self-love and watched as his relationships and the whole world transformed around him.</p> <p>In a unique hybrid of memoir and self-help, here Conor uses his life lessons to help readers wake up to the truth about love. A modern manifesto and spiritual guide to relationships, <em>The Truth About Love</em> makes a daring call to action, showing how to change yourself and the world around you through the courageous act of opening your heart.</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。

Rubber Hand Stamps and the Manipulation of Rubber【電子書籍】[ Thomas O'Conor Sloane ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>India rubber or caoutchouc is a very peculiar product, which is found in and extracted from the juice of certain trees and shrubs. These are quite numerous and are referred for the most part to the following families: Euphorbiace?d, Urticace?d, Artocarpe?d, Asclepiadace?d, and Cinchonace?d. It is evident that a considerable number of trees are utilized in commerce for its production, and it is certain that it exists, quite widely distributed, in many cases as a constituent of the juice of plants not recognized as containing it. When an india rubber tree is tapped, which is effected by making incisions in the bark, the sap of the tree exudes. It is a milky substance and is collected in various ways; it may be in vessels of clay, in shells, or in other receptacles by the india rubber hunters. If this substance is examined it is found to be of very remarkable and characteristic constitution, resembling in its physical features ordinary milk. It is composed of from fifty to ninety per cent. of water, in which is suspended in microscopic globules, like the cream in milk, the desired caoutchouc or india rubber. If the juice is left to stand in vessels, like milk in a creamery, the globules rise to the surface, and a cream of india rubber can be skimmed off from the surface. If the juice is evaporated over a fire, the water escapes and the india rubber remains. By dipping an article repeatedly in the juice and drying it, a thick or thin coating of india rubber can be developed. Before the modern methods for the manipulation of the gum had been developed, and before the invention of vulcanization, this method was adopted for the manufacture of shoes. The original “india rubbers” for protection of the feet in wet weather were made in this manner. A clay last was used, upon which the india rubber was deposited as described. The clay last was then broken out and removed. Great quantities of overshoes were thus made in South America, and many were exported to Europe. When caoutchouc has once been removed from this watery emulsion, which for all practical purposes is a solution, it cannot be restored to the former state of liquidity; it remains solid. It will absorb a considerable quantity of water, but will not enter again into the quasi solution or combination. This property of permanent coagulation, which interferes to a degree with its easy manipulation, was early discovered. In the last century quantities of the natural milk were exported to Europe to be used in what may be termed the natural process of manufacture, because once solidified it could not be redissolved, and because the manufacturers of those days had not the present methods of dealing with the apparently intractable gum. The natives of South America before the advent of Europeans, were familiar with the treatment of the juice by evaporation just described and used to make bottles, shoes and syringes of it for their own use. The name Siphonia applied to several species of rubber tree, and seringa (caoutchouc) and seringari(caoutchouc gatherer) in Spanish recall the old Indian syringes and tubes.</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。
