Convergence and Diversity in the Governance of Higher Education Comparative Perspectives【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For several decades, higher education systems have undergone continuous waves of reform, driven by a combination of concerns about the changing labour needs of the economy, competition within the global-knowledge economy, and nationally competitive positioning strategies to enhance the performance of higher education systems. Yet, despite far-ranging international pressures, including the emergence of an international higher education market, enormous growth in cross-border student mobility, and pressures to achieve universities of world class standing, boost research productivity and impact, and compete in global league tables, the suites of policy, policy designs and sector outcomes continue to be marked as much by hybridity as they are of similarity or convergence. This volume explores these complex governance outcomes from a theoretical and empirical comparative perspective, addressing those vectors precipitating change in the modalities and instruments of governance, and how they interface at the systemic and institutional levels, and across geographic regions.</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。

50 Years of Solar System Exploration Historical Perspectives (With Original NASA Photographs)【電子書籍】[ National Aeronautics and Space Administration ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>NASA's first successful mission to another planet, Mariner 2 to Venus in 1962, marked the beginning of what NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green describes in this volume as "a spectacular era" of solar system exploration. In its first 50 years of planetary exploration, NASA sent spacecraft to fly by, orbit, land on, or rove on every planet in our solar system, as well as Earth's Moon and several moons of other planets. Pluto, reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, was visited by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. In this volume, a diverse array of scholars addresses the science, technology, policy, and politics of planetary exploration. This volume offers a collection of in-depth studies of important projects, decisions, and milestones of this era. It is not possible to foresee what the next 50 years of NASA's planetary exploration program will reveal. However, the 2020s are already looking promising. Planetary missions in recent years have focused more and more on exploring potentially habitable environments in our solar system and developing a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of planetary environments. It is safe to say that by 2062, our understanding of our solar system will be radically different than it is today. And we will look forward to it.</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。

Tattoo Histories Transcultural Perspectives on the Narratives, Practices, and Representations of Tattooing【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Tattoo Histories</em>is an edited volume which analyses and discusses the relevance of tattooing in the socio-cultural construction of bodies, boundaries, and identities, among both individuals and groups. Its interdisciplinary approach facilitates historical as well as contemporary perspectives. Rather than presenting a universal, essentialized history of tattooing, the volume’s objective is to focus on the entangled and transcultural histories, narratives, and practices related to tattoos. Contributions stem from various fields, including Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Media and Literary Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology. They advance the current endeavour on the part of tattoo scholars to challenge Eurocentric and North American biases prevalent in much of tattoo research, by including various analyses based in locations such as Malaysia, Israel, East Africa, and India. The thematic focus is on the transformative capacity of tattoos and tattooing, with regard to the social construction of bodies and subjectivity; the (re-)creation of social relationships through the definition of (non-)tattooed others; the formation and consolidation of group identities, traditions, and authenticity; and the conceptualization of art and its relevance to tattoo artist?tattooee relations.</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>In "Edgar Poe and His Critics," Sarah Helen Whitman delves into the complex web of critiques surrounding the enigmatic figure of Edgar Allan Poe. Through a blend of personal narrative and rigorous literary analysis, Whitman artfully navigates the tumultuous artistic landscape of the 19th century, addressing both lauded and disparaged aspects of Poe's oeuvre. Drawing from her keen insights and eloquent prose, Whitman situates Poe within the broader currents of Romanticism and the American literary tradition, examining the dichotomy of admiration and disdain that Poe often evoked from his contemporaries. Her insightful exploration invites readers to reconsider the value of Poe's contributions to literature against the backdrop of criticism he received. Sarah Helen Whitman, a notable poet and intellectual in her own right, was not only a contemporary of Poe but also an intimate and passionate admirer. Her close relationship with Poe, coupled with her own literary pursuits, provided her a unique perspective on the man behind the myths. A figure deeply entrenched in the Romantic and transcendental movements, Whitman's background as a poet and critic shaped her understanding of the fragile interplay between artistic genius and societal perception. This book is essential for readers and scholars who wish to understand the full scope of Edgar Allan Poe's literary legacy. Whitman's nuanced analysis not only illuminates Poe's work but also invites reflection on the deeper relationship between an author and their critics.

The Reality of the Social World Medieval, Early Modern, and Contemporary Perspectives on Social Ontology【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book offers a collection of contributions on medieval, early modern, and contemporary perspectives on social ontology.</p> <p>Since the 1990s, social ontology has emerged as a vibrant research area in contemporary analytical philosophy. Questions concerning the nature and properties of social groups, institutions, facts, and objects like money and marriage, have been thoroughly discussed. However, the historical perspective has been largely neglected. One of the central aims of this volume is to show that relevant views on social ontology can be found in medieval and early modern philosophy (ca. 1200-1700 C.E.), when, for example, the ontological status of money, law, and the sacraments was hotly debated. We see, furthermore, diverging positions between Aristotelian-inspired authors, who resort to a more naturalistic view of the emergence of the social realm, and authors like Olivi and Ockham, who emphasize the role of human free will and contractualist agreements.</p> <p>This book is the very first to address historical and contemporary social ontologies. Both historians of philosophy and philosophers will benefit from this juxtaposition, which fosters a better understanding of historical positions and approaches by using today’s conceptual and analytical tools, and allows the contemporary debate to gain new perspectives by confronting its own medieval and early modern history.</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。

An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision Challenging Perspectives on Visual Perception and Reality【電子書籍】[ George Berkeley ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision," George Berkeley delves into the intricate relationship between perception and reality, challenging established notions of vision and its dependence on physical objects. Employing a combination of empirical observation and philosophical argumentation, Berkeley articulates his innovative theory that our understanding of distance, size, and shape is fundamentally shaped by visual experience rather than a direct correspondence to external forms. This work is notable for its clarity and precision, employing a form of writing that balances rigorous analysis with accessibility, situating Berkeley within the broader context of early modern philosophy, particularly in relation to empiricism and metaphysics. George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and bishop, was a pioneering figure in the development of idealism and is often linked to the early stages of modern philosophy. His interest in the nature of perception can be traced back to a lifelong engagement with questions regarding reality and its representation. Throughout his career, Berkeley remained steadfast in his belief that vision is a constructive process, influenced by the observer's experience rather than mere sensory input, illuminating the philosophical debates of his time regarding the existence of the material world. Readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and perception will find Berkeley's work both thought-provoking and essential. This essay invites readers to reconsider their understanding of sight and reality, ultimately encouraging a deeper inquiry into the nature of human experience. Berkeley'??s arguments resonate with contemporary discussions in philosophy and cognitive science, making this book a timeless resource for anyone seeking to explore the complexities of vision.</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>In "The Future of Islam," Wilfrid Scawen Blunt embarks on a profound exploration of Islamic culture and its potential trajectory in the modern world. Written in the late 19th century, the book employs a rich, lyrical prose style, intertwining history, politics, and evocative reflections that articulate both admiration and concern for Islamic societies. Blunt's contextual grounding in the colonial discourse of his time adds a critical lens to his analysis, as he examines the interplay between Western imperialism and the intrinsic values of Islam, suggesting that understanding and dialogue may offer pathways to unity in a world rife with division.

His extensive travels throughout the Middle East and sincere engagement with its peoples fostered a nuanced understanding of Islamic traditions. Influenced by his advocacy for liberalism and anti-imperialism, Blunt sought to challenge prevailing stereotypes about Islam and communicate the richness of its philosophical and spiritual dimensions. This book is recommended for anyone interested in intercultural dialogue, historical contexts of religious thought, and the socio-political challenges faced by Islamic societies today. Blunt's prescient insights resonate with contemporary discussions, making this work a timeless invitation to reflect on the future of Islam and the need for mutual respect between diverse cultures.</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 Biolinguistic Enterprise New Perspectives on the Evolution and Nature of the Human Language Faculty【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book, by leading scholars, represents some of the main work in progress in biolinguistics. It offers fresh perspectives on language evolution and variation, new developments in theoretical linguistics, and insights on the relations between variation in language and variation in biology. The authors address the Darwinian questions on the origin and evolution of language from a minimalist perspective, and provide elegant solutions to the evolutionary gap between human language and communication in all other organisms. They consider language variation in the context of current biological approaches to species diversity - the 'evo-devo revolution' - which bring to light deep homologies between organisms. In dispensing with the classical notion of syntactic parameters, the authors argue that language variation, like biodiversity, is the result of experience and thus not a part of the language faculty in the narrow sense. They also examine the nature of this core language faculty, the primary categories with which it is concerned, the operations it performs, the syntactic constraints it poses on semantic interpretation and the role of phases in bridging the gap between brain and syntax. Written in language accessible to a wide audience, <em>The Biolinguistic Enterprise</em> will appeal to scholars and students of linguistics, cognitive science, biology, and natural language processing.</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 Expression of Emotion Philosophical, Psychological and Legal Perspectives【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Expression of Emotion collects cutting-edge essays on emotional expression written by leading philosophers, psychologists, and legal theorists. It highlights areas of interdisciplinary research interest, including facial expression, expressive action, and the role of both normativity and context in emotion perception. Whilst philosophical discussion of emotional expression has addressed the nature of expression and its relation to action theory, psychological work on the topic has focused on the specific mechanisms underpinning different facial expressions and their recognition. Further, work in both legal and political theory has had much to say about the normative role of emotional expressions, but would benefit from greater engagement with both psychological and philosophical research. In combining philosophical, psychological, and legal work on emotional expression, the present volume brings these distinct approaches into a productive conversation.</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。

Bach Perspectives, Volume 12 Bach and the Counterpoint of Religion【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Cypess ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Johann Sebastian Bach was a Lutheran and much of his music was for Lutheran liturgical worship. As these insightful essays in the twelfth volume of Bach Perspectives demonstrate, he was also influenced by--and in turn influenced--different expressions of religious belief. The vocal music, especially the Christmas Oratorio, owes much to medieval Catholic mysticism, and the evolution of the B minor Mass has strong Catholic connections. In Leipzig, Catholic and Lutheran congregations sang many of the same vernacular hymns. Internal squabbles were rarely missing within Lutheranism, for example Pietists' dislike of concerted church music, especially if it employed specific dance forms. Also investigated here are broader issues such as the close affinity between Bach's cantata libretti and the hymns of Charles Wesley; and Bach's music in the context of the Jewish Enlightenment as shaped by Protestant Rationalism in Berlin. Contributors: Rebecca Cypess, Joyce L. Irwin, Robin A. Leaver, Mark Noll, Markus Rathey, Derek Stauff, and Janice B.

Interpretations of Poetry and Religion Enriched edition. Exploring the Spiritual Essence of Poetry through Literary and Philosophical Perspectives【電子書籍】[ George Santayana ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion," George Santayana offers a profound exploration of the intricate relationship between poetic expression and religious sentiment. The book is characterized by its philosophical depth and lyrical prose, blending critical analysis with personal reflection. Santayana deftly navigates the landscapes of metaphor and symbol, arguing that poetry serves as a vital component in the human quest for transcendence and meaning. His work situates itself within the early 20th-century movement that sought to reconcile the spiritual and the artistic, drawing upon both classical and contemporary influences to deliver an insightful critique of how poetry embodies religious truth. George Santayana, a prominent philosopher and poet, was deeply influenced by his diverse cultural background and education at Harvard. His experiences with various philosophical traditions, particularly his engagement with pragmatism and idealism, informed his views on the connection between aesthetics and spirituality. Santayana's reflections emerged from a life marked by a longing for meaning in a secular world, which shaped his approach to examining the roles of poetry and religion in society. "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion" is essential reading for anyone seeking to delve into the philosophical underpinnings of poetic discourse and its spiritual implications. Santayana's eloquent exposition invites readers to reconsider the role of art as a means of grasping the ethereal'ーmaking this work a valuable companion for students, poets, and scholars alike.

International Handbook of Love Transcultural and Transdisciplinary Perspectives【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This handbook is the winner of the William B. Gudykunst Award for Outstanding Book in 2023, given by the International Academy of Intercultural Research.</p> <p>This handbook includes state-of-the-art research on love in classical, modern and postmodern perspectives. It expands on previous literature and explores topics around love from new cultural, intercultural and transcultural approaches and across disciplines. It provides insights into various love concepts, like romantic love, agape, and eros in their cultural embeddedness, and their changes and developments in specific cultural contexts. It also includes discussions on postmodern aspects with regard to love and love relationships, such as digitalisation, globalisation and the fourth industrial revolution. The handbook covers a vast range of topics in relation to love: aging, health, special needs, sexual preferences, spiritual practice, subcultures, family and other relationships, and so on. The chapters look at love not only in terms of the universal concept and in private, intimate relationships, but apply a broad concept of love which can also, for example, be referred to in postmodern workplaces. This volume is of interest to a wide readership, including researchers, practitioners and students of the social sciences, humanities and behavioural sciences.</p> <p><em>In the 1970s through the 90s, I was told that globalization was homogenizing cultures into a worldwide monoculture. This volume, as risky and profound as the many adventures of love across our multiplying cultures are, proves otherwise. The authors’ revolutionary and courageous work will challenge our sensibilities and expand the boundaries of what we understand what love is. But that’s what love does: It communicates what is; offers what can be; and pleads for what must be. I know you’ll enjoy this wonderful book as much as I do!</em></p> <p>Jeffrey Ady, Associate Professor (retired), Public Administration Program, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Founding Fellow, International Academy for Intercultural Research</p> <p><em>The International Handbook of Love is far more than a traditional compendium. It is a breath-taking attempt to synthesize our anthropological and sociological knowledge on love. It illuminates topics as diverse as Chinese love, one-night stands, teen romance or love of leaders and many more. This is a definitive reference in the field of love studies.</em></p> <p>Eva Illouz, author of The End of Love: A sociology of Negative relationships. Oxford University Press.</p> <p><em>“This is not a volume to be read in a single sitting (though I almost did, due to a protracted hospital stay), nor is it romantic or inspirational reading (though, in some cases, I had hoped for more narrative examples and case studies. Rather it is a highly diverse scholarly effort, a massive resource collection of research papers on love in a variety of contexts, personal and professional settings, and cultures. The work is well referenced providing a large number of resources for deeper exploration. …. We owe our thanks to the authors and editors of this “handbook” for work well done, though that word in the title should not lead readers to suspect that, enlightening as it is, this book is avade mecum or practical tour guide that provides ready solutions to the vicissitudes and challenges of our love lives!”</em></p> <p>Reviewed by Dr. George F.

The Grammar of Japanese Mimetics Perspectives from structure, acquisition, and translation【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Mimetic words, also known as ‘sound-symbolic words’, ‘ideophones’ or more popularly as ‘onomatopoeia’, constitute an important subset of the Japanese lexicon; we find them as well in the lexicons of other Asian languages and sub-Saharan African languages. Mimetics play a central role in Japanese grammar and feature in children’s early utterances. However, this class of words is not considered as important in English and other European languages. This book aims to bridge the gap between the extensive research on Japanese mimetics and its availability to an international audience, and also to provide a better understanding of grammatical and structural aspects of sound-symbolic words from a Japanese perspective. Through the accounts of mimetics from the perspectives of morpho-syntax, semantics, language development and translation of mimetic words, linguists and students alike would find this book particularly valuable.</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。

Perspectives On Supplier Innovation: Theories, Concepts And Empirical Insights On Open Innovation And The Integration Of Suppliers【電子書籍】[ Alexander Brem ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Hardly anybody outside a company knows its products and processes better than its suppliers. Research confirms that intensive integration of suppliers in the value creation process positively influences the success of the company, particularly in highly competitive industries. This is a result of the progressing reduction in the depth of value creation of manufacturers and the increasing transfer of know-how towards suppliers. In multilevel business-to-business relationships, suppliers often have the best or the only access and comprehensive knowledge about the end users. Therefore, suppliers determine the scope of possible innovations, which most companies do not actively use.This unique volume provides a comprehensive overview of theories, concepts and especially empirical results on open innovation and the integration of suppliers.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Pursuit of Sustainable Leadership: Sustainable Leadership (SL) encompasses the broad roles and responsibilities of leaders that cut across the whole organization and the entire extended enterprise from horizon to horizon. The underpinnings of SL require strategic leaders and professionals to play leading roles in dealing with critical issues affecting business and people. This including resolving the related problems and challenges and participating in the development and deployment of sustainable solutions based on the full spectrum of needs and expectations of society, market spaces, and business environment. SL necessitates openness, inclusiveness, innovativeness, and fair mindedness. It requires strategic leaders to create an extraordinary vision and to fulfill their missions to develop, support, and promote the extended enterprises and the market spaces served by their businesses. Sustainable strategic leaders ensure that their organizations and enterprises are fully capable and responsive to external dimensions and market spaces and have the potential to be successful. They serve and support markets, customers, and stakeholders and provide them with solutions and successful outcomes. In addition, strategic leaders fulfill their broad responsibilities to society through positive actions to improve the social and economic fabric of the human world and to mitigate the negative impacts across all of the social, economic, and environmental aspects. The Pursuit of Sustainable Leadership (PSL) involves the ongoing learning and development of business leaders and students to become true strategic leaders who have the proper principles, philosophies, values, capabilities and perspectives for achieving sustainable success. True leaders are dedicated to their endeavors and never stop making transitions and transformations to higher levels of sophistication. The PSL is based on a learning the foundations of leadership, having the right principles, developing personal philosophies, using broad perspectives, adapting openness and honesty, engaging in continuous learning, embracing lifelong personal and professional development, and being a sustainable leader. The key to success involves acquiring new knowledge, seeking profound experiences, expanding one’s understanding of realities and possibilities, and developing positive mindset through demanding roles and responsibilities, interactive engagements and profound learning.</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。

Modern Perspectives in Lattice QCD: Quantum Field Theory and High Performance Computing Lecture Notes of the Les Houches Summer School: Volume 93, August 2009【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The book is based on the lectures delivered at the XCIII Session of the ?cole de Physique des Houches, held in August, 2009. The aim of the event was to familiarize the new generation of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows with the principles and methods of modern lattice field theory, which aims to resolve fundamental, non-perturbative questions about QCD without uncontrolled approximations. The emphasis of the book is on the theoretical developments that have shaped the field in the last two decades and that have turned lattice gauge theory into a robust approach to the determination of low energy hadronic quantities and of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. By way of introduction, the lectures begin by covering lattice theory basics, lattice renormalization and improvement, and the many faces of chirality. A later course introduces QCD at finite temperature and density. A broad view of lattice computation from the basics to recent developments was offered in a corresponding course. Extrapolations to physical quark masses and a framework for the parameterization of the low-energy physics by means of effective coupling constants is covered in a lecture on chiral perturbation theory. Heavy-quark effective theories, an essential tool for performing the relevant lattice calculations, is covered from its basics to recent advances. A number of shorter courses round out the book and broaden its purview. These included recent applications to the nucleon--nucleon interation and a course on physics beyond the Standard Model.</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。

Social Entrepreneurship in Non-Profit and Profit Sectors Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This volume examines the theoretical and empirical landscape of social entrepreneurship in both non-profit and profit sectors. It extends the traditional view of social entrepreneurship to include the environmental and institutional factors that affect the emergence of social entrepreneurship activities, such as formal laws, regulations, procedures and informal institutions. The editors aim to provide evidence and increased understanding of this growing phenomenon.</p> <p>Social Entrepreneurship is gaining recognition as a key element of economic and social development. It embraces a wide set of situations with a broad scope of activities in for-profit and non-profit organizations interested in social performance and/or in economically profitable performance, with an emphasis on achieving social aim. In the strict sense, social entrepreneurship corresponds to entrepreneurs whose main concern is to achieve social objectives rather than to obtain personal financial profits. However, there is still much to be learned about the dynamics and processes of social entrepreneurship. The current literature in the field has tended to focus on psychological experiences and personal characteristics, or on organizational perspectives such as resources, capabilities and leadership. This book intends to provide theoretical frameworks and empirical studies to this very new and broad field. Specifically, this book provides a collection of contemporary research in the following topics:</p> <ul> <li>How to create opportunity through social innovation</li> <li>How to detect entrepreneurial opportunity to meet social needs</li> <li>How to develop social entrepreneurship, while still seeking profits</li> <li>How to discover opportunities for different forms of social entrepreneurship</li> </ul> <p>Featuring contributions from around the world, this book is a valuable source for students, academics, researchers, policy makers, and professionals in the area of social entrepreneurship.</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 Lost Colony of Roanoke New Perspectives【電子書籍】[ Brandon Fullam ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When Governor John White sailed for England from Roanoke Island in August 1587, he left behind more than 100 men, women and children. They were never seen again by Europeans. For more than four centuries the fate of the Roanoke colony has remained a mystery, despite the many attempts to construct a satisfactory, convincing explanation.</p> <p>New research suggests that all past and present theories are based upon a series of erroneous assumptions that have persisted for centuries. Through a close examination of the early accounts, previously unknown or unexamined documents, and native Algonquian oral tradition, this book deconstructs the traditional theories. What emerges is a fresh narrative of the ultimate fate of the Lost Colony.</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。
