The Language Myth Why Language Is Not an Instinct【電子書籍】[ Vyvyan Evans ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human 'instinct' pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Vyvyan Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth. Debunking the notion of a language 'instinct', Evans demonstrates that language is related to other animal forms of communication; that languages exhibit staggering diversity; that we learn our mother tongue drawing on general properties and abilities of the human mind, rather than an inborn 'universal' grammar; that language is not autonomous but is closely related to other aspects of our mental lives; and that, ultimately, language and the mind reflect and draw upon the way we interact with others in the world. Compellingly written and drawing on cutting-edge research, The Language Myth sets out a forceful alternative to the received wisdom, showing how language and the mind really work.</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。 4,560円

The Generation Myth Why When You're Born Matters Less Than You Think【電子書籍】[ Bobby Duffy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Millennials, Baby Boomers, Gen Zーwe like to define people by when they were born, but an acclaimed social researcher explains why we shouldn't.</strong></p> <p>Boomers are narcissists. Millennials are spoiled. Gen Zers are lazy. We assume people born around the same time have basically the same values. It makes for good headlines, but is it true?</p> <p>Bobby Duffy has spent years studying generational distinctions. In <em>The Generation Myth</em>, he argues that our generational identities are not fixed but fluid, reforming throughout our lives. Based on an analysis of what over three million people really think about homeownership, sex, well-being, and more, Duffy offers a new model for understanding how generations form, how they shape societies, and why generational differences aren’t as sharp as we think.</p> <p><em>The Generation Myth</em> is a vital rejoinder to alarmist worries about generational warfare and social decline. The kids are all right, it turns out. Their parents are too.</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。 2,344円

Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland ー Complete Magic, Myth, and Heroism: Ancient Finnish Poetry and National Identity【電子書籍】[ Anonymous ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Kalevala: The Epic Poem of Finland is a monumental work encompassing the rich mythological history and folklore of the Finnish people. This compilation, arranged and edited by Elias L√∂nnrot in the 19th century, weaves together oral traditions and poetic tales, encapsulating the struggle between humanity and nature, as well as the eternal quest for knowledge and heroism. Its literary style is characterized by trochaic tetrameter, giving the verse a compelling rhythm that resonates through Finland's scenic landscapes. Set against the backdrop of nationalism and cultural revival, the Kalevala serves as a cornerstone of Finnish identity and a reflection of the Helsinki School's interest in folk narratives and songs. The anonymous origins of the Kalevala highlight the collective memory of the Finnish people, who contributed their myths, legends, and anecdotes over centuries. L√∂nnrot'??s dedication to preserving these oral traditions was fuelled by his belief in the power of poetry as a unifying force, particularly during a period of increasing national awakening, where Finland sought to consolidate its cultural heritage amid foreign dominations. Kalevala is a must-read for anyone intrigued by epic poetry, folklore, and the intricate web of mythological narratives that shape national identity. Its universal themes and intricate storytelling make it not only a vital piece of Finnish literature but also an enriching exploration for those engaged in cultural studies, comparative literature, and the evolution of oral traditions.</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。 310円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Pygmalion and the Image," William Morris reimagines the classic myth of Pygmalion'??a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved, which subsequently comes to life.

The Myth of Triumphalism Rethinking President Reagan's Cold War Legacy【電子書籍】[ Beth A. Fischer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>This historical study dismantles the myth of Reagan's hardline victory and sheds light on his true diplomatic success in cooperation with Gorbachev.</strong><br /> Did President Reagan's hawkish policies destroy the Soviet Union and enable the United States to win the Cold War? Many Americans believe this to be the case. In this view?known as "triumphalism"?Reagan's denunciations of the "evil empire" and his military buildup compelled Moscow to admit defeat. The president's triumph demonstrates that America's leaders should stand strong and threaten adversaries into submission.<br /> Drawing on both US and Soviet sources, this study demonstrates that triumphalism is based on a series of falsehoods about President Reagan's intentions, his policies, and the impact his administration had on the Soviet Union. In reality, the president's initially hardline posture undermined US interests and brought the superpowers to the brink of war. Success only came when Reagan changed his approach to one of cooperation.<br /> Together, President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev were able to accomplish what no one at the time thought possible?the peaceful conclusion of the Cold War. The president's opposition to nuclear weapons, his determined leadership, and his dedication to diplomacy are his most enduring legacies.</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。 3,359円

The Myth and Reality of German Warfare Operational Thinking from Moltke the Elder to Heusinger【電子書籍】[ Gerhard P. Gross ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Surrounded by potential adversaries, nineteenth-century Prussia and twentieth-century Germany faced the formidable prospect of multifront wars and wars of attrition. To counteract these threats, generations of general staff officers were educated in operational thinking, the main tenets of which were extremely influential on military planning across the globe and were adopted by American and Soviet armies. In the twentieth century, Germany's art of warfare dominated military theory and practice, creating a myth of German operational brilliance that lingers today, despite the nation's crushing defeats in two world wars.</p> <p>In this seminal study, Gerhard P. Gross provides a comprehensive examination of the development and failure of German operational thinking over a period of more than a century. He analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of five different armies, from the mid?nineteenth century through the early days of NATO. He also offers fresh interpretations of towering figures of German military history, including Moltke the Elder, Alfred von Schlieffen, and Erich Ludendorff. Essential reading for military historians and strategists, this innovative work dismantles cherished myths and offers new insights into Germany's failed attempts to become a global power through military 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。 6,513円

Myth and Philosophy in Plato's Phaedrus【電子書籍】[ Daniel S. Werner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Plato's dialogues frequently criticize traditional Greek myth, yet Plato also integrates myth with his writing. Daniel S. Werner confronts this paradox through an in-depth analysis of the Phaedrus, Plato's most mythical dialogue. Werner argues that the myths of the Phaedrus serve several complex functions: they bring nonphilosophers into the philosophical life; they offer a starting point for philosophical inquiry; they unify the dialogue as a literary and dramatic whole; they draw attention to the limits of language and the limits of knowledge; and they allow Plato to co-opt cultural authority as a way of defining and legitimating the practice of philosophy. Platonic myth, as a species of traditional tale, is thus both distinct from philosophical dialectic and similar to it. Ultimately, the most powerful effect of Platonic myth is the way in which it leads readers to participate in Plato's dialogues and to engage in a process of self-examination.</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。 7,816円

Gerardo Diego’s Creation Myth of Music F?bula de Equis y Zeda【電子書籍】[ Judith Stallings-Ward ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since its publication nearly eight decades ago, the consensus among scholars about F?bula de Equis y Zeda, by the Spanish poet Gerardo Diego (1896-1987) remains unchanged: F?bula is an enigmatic avant-garde curiosity. It seems to rob the reader of the reason necessary to interpret it, even as it lures him or her ineluctably to the task; nevertheless, the present study makes the case that this work is, in fact, not inaccessible, and that what the anhelante arquitecto, intended with his masterpiece was a creation myth that explains the evolution of music in his day. This monograph unlocks the fullness of the poem´s meaning sourced in music’s mythical consciousness and expressed in a poetic idiom that replicates aesthetic concepts and cubist strategies of form embraced by the neoclassical composers Bartok, Falla, Ravel, and Stravinsky.</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。 9,279円

The Deficit Myth Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy【電子書籍】[ Stephanie Kelton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A <em>New York Times</em> Bestseller</strong></p> <p><strong>A “clear and vigorously written book” (<em>Foreign Affairs),</em> from the leading thinker of modern monetary theory, that delivers a bold new understanding for how to build a prosperous society</strong></p> <p>Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.</p> <p>Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis.</p> <p>MMT, as Kelton shows, shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one of broader economic and social benefits. With its important new ways of understanding money, taxes, and the critical role of deficit spending, MMT redefines how to responsibly use our resources so that we can maximize our potential as a society. MMT gives us the power to imagine a new politics and a new economy and move from a narrative of scarcity to one of opportunity.</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。 1,824円

The Myth of Executive Functioning Missing Elements in Conceptualization, Evaluation, and Assessment【電子書籍】[ Leonard F. Koziol ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Executive functioning: we measure it, assess it, document its development in youth, track its decline in age and use it as a basis for diagnoses, treatment planning and-of course-theories. Could it be possible that science has spent decades chasing a cognitive phantom?</p> <p>Noting the lack of consensus concerning definition, component skills, and location within the brain, <em>The Myth of Executive Functioning</em> calls basic assumptions, prominent theories, commonly used test methods, and even the phrase <em>executive</em> <em>functioning</em> into question. The book's deceptively simple argument takes an evolutionary/neuroscience look at the cornerstones of cognitive organization, including memory, planning, decision-making and adaptation to novel circumstances. From there, gaps are identified between systems of cognitive control and those behaviors that are evaluated in neuropsychological testing-gaps that contribute to the disconnect between how science views mind and body, brain and behavior. The author's problem-solving metaphor places new emphasis on stimulus processing and on the relationship between movement and thought as he offers thought-provoking perspectives on:</p> <p>The limits of neuropsychological constructs.</p> <ul> <li>The components of adaptive thinking.</li> <li>The automatic aspects of problem solving.</li> <li>The left-brain/right-brain dichotomy.</li> <li>Problems with the domain approach to cognition.</li> <li>New paradigms for testing cognitive functioning.</li> </ul> <p>A controversial presentation with the potential to change clinical practice and training, <em>The Myth of Executive Functioning</em> will be read, debated and learned from by neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists and rehabilitation specialists.</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。 8,507円

<p>The Myth of Er is the epilogue of Plato’s Republic. It could be considered as an independent text that refers to the greatest philosophical question of all times.<br /> "Where does our soul go when we die and where does it come from when we are born?"<br /> Socrates in order to give an answer that would lead to a safe conclusion connects the journey of our soul to the function of our planetary system and tries to analyze the following sacramental but also scientific issues:<br /> - What is the difference between a developed soul and a developed mind?<br /> - Why is the cultivation of virtues necessary?<br /> - Which are the three roads of Hades and their connection to the "Van Allen belts"?<br /> - How are the penalties and rewards to our soul defined?<br /> - Where is Tartarus?<br /> - What does the spindle of necessity symbolize?<br /> - How are space time and the "Cuiper belt" connected?<br /> - What does the existence of Sirens and the three fates mean?<br /> - What is the procedure our incarnation?<br /> - What contract do we sign before we reincarnate on planet earth?<br /> - Which is the role of free will?<br /> - What does the mystery of the Dionysial theatre symbolize?<br /> - What difference is there between reincarnation and metempsychosis?<br /> - What is Socrates’ genius or our guardian angel?</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。 1,007円

THE ENUMA ELISH Babylonian creation myth【電子書籍】[ Shemuel Bensusan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The En?ma Eli? (Akkadian Cuneiform: 〓〓〓〓〓, also spelled "Enuma Elish") is the Babylonian creation myth (named after its opening words). It was recovered by English archaeologist Austen Henry Layard in 1849 (in fragmentary form) in the ruined Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (Mosul, Iraq). A form of the myth was first published by English Assyriologist George Smith in 1876; active research and further excavations led to near completion of the texts and improved translation.</p> <p>The En?ma Eli? has about a thousand lines and is recorded in Old Babylonian on seven clay tablets, each holding between 115 and 170 lines of Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script. Most of Tablet V has never been recovered, but, aside from this lacuna, the text is almost complete.</p> <p>This epic is one of the most important sources revealing the Babylonian worldview. Over the seven tablets, it describes the creation of the world, a battle between gods focused on the supremacy of Marduk, the creation of man destined for the service of the Mesopotamian deities, and it ends with a long passage praising Marduk. Its primary original purpose is unknown, although a version is known to have been used for certain festivals. There may also have been a political element to the myth, centered on the legitimization or primacy of Mesopotamia over Assyria. Some later versions replace Marduk with the Assyrian primary god Ashur.</p> <p>The En?ma Eli? exists in various copies from Babylon and Assyria. The version from the archaeological Library of Ashurbanipal dates to the 7th century BCE. The composition of the text probably dates to the late 2nd millennium BCE, or even earlier, to the time of Hammurabi during the Old Babylonian Period (1900?1600 BCE). Some elements of the myth are attested by illustrations that date to, at least, as early as the Kassite era (roughly 16th?12th centuries BCE).</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。 163円
