A Prince of Swindlers【電子書籍】[ Guy Boothby ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Set against the vivid backdrop of Edwardian London and the sultry allure of the Far East, Guy Boothby's "A Prince of Swindlers" is a masterful exploration of deception, identity, and moral ambiguity. The narrative follows the enigmatic figure of the conman, the charmingly self-styled Prince of Swindlers, who captivates with his wit and daring escapades. Boothby's prose seamlessly blends adventure, humor, and psychological insight, reflecting the literary zeitgeist of the late 19th century, where themes of class and societal norms were increasingly scrutinized. Through sharp dialogue and richly constructed settings, the novel offers a satirical lens on both the gullibility of society and the art of the con, elevating the criminal to a position of complex admiration. Guy Boothby, an Australian author with a flair for captivating storytelling, drew from his own experiences in England and the exotic locales of his travels. He was influenced by the burgeoning interests of the time in sensationalism and the criminal underworld, often incorporating elements of his life as a traveler and a keen observer of human nature into his work. His diverse career in publishing and journalism ensured that his writing was imbued with psychological depth, offering readers not just a tale of deceit but a commentary on societal values. I highly recommend "A Prince of Swindlers" to readers who enjoy sharp humor intertwined with rich character study. This novel is not only a thrilling adventure but also a keen exploration of the complexities of morality in a changing world. Boothby's work invites us to question our perceptions of right and wrong, making it a compelling read for fans of classic literature and modern psychological exploration alike.＜/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。	150円
Swindlers & Killers An Anthology of True Crime【電子書籍】[ Ana Benson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A collection of True Crime stories featuring women who swindle and kill...Poison is one of the most effective female weapons in the history. Whenever they needed to get rid of someone, the poisoners would choose a deadly chemical that would eventually deliver the results. The reasons for this move varies. Women often kill for a financial gain, when they are jealous or want to escape an abusive marriage. Yiya Murano, who would later be known as the poisoner of Monserrat, did the same. Her poison of choice was cyanide. Yiya killed because she was in huge debt and thought that scamming people for money was the only way she could get out of it. When her victims asked to get their investments back, Yiya would poison them by adding cyanide to her dessert cakes.＜/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。	950円

Old West Swindlers【電子書籍】[ Laurence J. Yadon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞True stories of nineteenth-century crooks, con artists, and quacksーincluding the man who "sold" the Brooklyn Bridge.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Gunslingers and outlaws weren't the only ones who made the West wild. The nineteenth century was the golden era of riverboat gamblers, crooked railroad contractors, and filthy-rich medical quacks. These crooks made a living deceiving people who took a stranger at face value and left their doors unlocked. Throw in some get-rich-quick schemes and a generous mixture of whiskey and there was never a shortage of suckers.＜br /＞ Conman George Parker was able to stay in business for forty years by "selling" public structures such as Madison Square Garden and the Statue of Liberty. He even "sold" the Brooklyn Bridge as often as twice a week. For most, the Salted Gold Mine or the Magic Wallet cons were enough to satisfy their greed. However, the more ambitious grifters tried the Big Store, an illegal underground betting parlor like the one seen in the movie ＜em＞The Sting.＜/em＞ With an honest-looking face and a lack of morals, these scammers played a big role in giving the frontier its lawless reputationーand this book tells their stories.＜/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。	1,760円
The Longest Con How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism【電子書籍】[ Joe Conason ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A sardonic chronicle of how conservatism turned into a racketeering enterprise ? and why Donald Trump became the living emblem of the American right’s moral decay.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The Longest Con＜/em＞ tells the fascinating story of the partisan con artists who have corrupted conservative politics in our time, creating a toxic phenomenon that culminated in the election of Donald Trump, a bumptious fraud whose checkered career and tawdry retinue, including his presidential cabinet, have featured almost every variety of scam. But long before he appeared, Trump’s path to power was blazed by the motley horde of swindlers and quacks who preceded him.＜/p＞＜p＞From the “professional anti-communists” (whose tactics even J. Edgar Hoover despised) to the “populist” grifters of the Tea Party movement and the religious charlatans of the “prosperity gospel” (who provided a pious front for Trump), the right-wing ripoff has remained remarkably consistent, even as personalities change and new technologies emerge: Stir up anger and resentment, demonize political opponents, promise vengeance, and collect donations from the gullible. It’s a highly lucrative game that any unscrupulous charlatan can play, as many have ? and they are named in these pages.＜/p＞＜p＞In an unsparing and often comic narrative, Joe Conason explores the right’s long, steep descent into a movement whose principal aim is not to protect freedom or defend the Constitution, but merely to line the pockets of pretenders and blowhards whose malevolent tactics now endanger the nation.＜/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。	1,858円

Avoiding Swindlers【電子書籍】[ Al Rosen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The book deals with actual situations that resulted in investors losing multi-millions of dollars to financial tricksters. Emphasis is placed upon learning how to detect early warning signs. Financial exposure can be minimized prior to situations deteriorating into bankruptcies. However, individual investors have to take specific actions after doing some homework. Otherwise, the alternative is to lose money by listening to "hot tips," often involving publicly traded securities.＜/p＞＜p＞Some types of commonly seen but inappropriate financial reporting are permitted in certain countries (including parts of North America), even though they deeply aid the financial tricksters. Governments are seriously neglecting investors by not prohibiting certain reporting trickery. Overall, in some regions, investor protection is simply archaic (including allowing false advertising). Currently, investors face serious risks.＜/p＞＜p＞The book attempts to minimize technical language. Stress is placed upon encouraging investors to look for specific warning signs before opening their purses and wallets to the growing group of tricksters.＜/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。	1,179円
A Gallery of Recuperation On the Merits of Slandering Charlatans, Swindlers, and Frauds【電子書籍】[ Jaime Semprun ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞The first English translation of the French cult classic that lampoons France’s most popular intellectuals of the post-1968 period and their ideas, which became forces of counterrevolution.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Eric-John Russell’s translation of Jaime Sempr?n’s brutal takedown of France’s best-known intellectuals of the post-1968 period,＜em＞A Gallery of Recuperation＜/em＞, is one of the first full English versions of any of Sempr?n’s books. Originally titled ＜em＞Pr?cis de recuperation＜/em＞, the book is a scathing critique of ten major thinkers, including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard, and Cornelius Castoriadis. Sempr?n uses this catalog of careerism to reflect on the concept of ＜em＞recuperation＜/em＞ーcapitalism’s uncanny ability to coopt anticapitalist critiques and subvert subversion. His central question: What happens to revolutionary ideas, including Marxism itself, in the hands of professional intellectuals?＜/p＞＜p＞Sempr?n’s idiosyncratic and playful style of polemics takes existentialism, humanism, structuralism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis to task, casting new light on the figures who have become dominant staples of modern Anglophone academia, and proving the necessity of critiquing intellectuals’ roles within contemporary capitalism. A cult classic among the French radical left and scholars of the Situationist International and May 1968, ＜em＞A Gallery of Recuperation＜/em＞ never made the impact it should have. Russell’s translation marks a major step in recognizing Sempr?n’s work beyond its French context.＜/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。	2,515円
The Queen's Embroiderer A True Story of Paris, Lovers, Swindlers, and the First Stock Market Crisis【電子書籍】[ Joan DeJean ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞From the author of ＜em＞How Paris Became Paris＜/em＞, a sweeping history of high finance, the origins of high fashion, and a pair of star-crossed lovers in 18th-century France.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Paris, 1719. The stock market is surging and the world's first millionaires are buying everything in sight. Against this backdrop, two families, the Magoulets and the Chevrots, rose to prominence only to plummet in the first stock market crash. One family built its name on the burgeoning financial industry, the other as master embroiderers for Queen Marie-Th?r?se and her husband, King Louis XIV. Both patriarchs were ruthless money-mongers, determined to strike it rich by arranging marriages for their children.＜/p＞＜p＞But in a Shakespearean twist, two of their children fell in love. To remain together, Louise Magoulet and Louis Chevrot fought their fathers' rage and abuse. A real-life heroine, Louise took on Magoulet, Chevrot, the police, an army regiment, and the French Indies Company to stay with the man she loved.＜/p＞＜p＞Following these families from 1600 until the Revolution of 1789, Joan DeJean recreates the larger-than-life personalities of Versailles, where displaying wealth was a power game; the sordid cells of the Bastille; the Louisiana territory, where Frenchwomen were forcibly sent to marry colonists; and the legendary "Wall Street of Paris," Rue Quincampoix, a world of high finance uncannily similar to what we know now. ＜em＞The Queen's Embroiderer＜/em＞ is both a story of star-crossed love in the most beautiful city in the world and a cautionary tale of greed and the dangerous lure of windfall profits. And every bit of it is true.＜/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。	2,786円

Ian Klaus’s ＜I＞Forging Capitalism＜/I＞ demonstrates how international financial affairs in the nineteenth century were conducted not only by gentlemen as a noble pursuit but also by connivers, thieves, swindlers, and frauds who believed that no risk was too great and no scheme too outrageous if the monetary reward was substantial enough.

Working systematically with this concept and these classifications, authors Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff reveal that all crises are messes; one must learn to understand and manage them as such.＜/p＞＜p＞They then provide tools and frameworks that readers can use to more effectively deal with the crises of today and tomorrow.

Swans, Swine, and Swindlers Coping with the Growing Threat of Mega-Crises and Mega-Messes【電子書籍】[ Ian Mitroff ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Swans, Swine, and Swindlers＜/em＞ addresses a core, contemporary question: What steps can we take to better anticipate and manage mega-crises, such as Haiti, Katrina, and 9/11?＜/p＞＜p＞This book explores the concept of "messes." A mess is a web of complex and dynamically interacting, ill-defined, and/or wicked problems; their solutions; and our conscious and unconscious assumptions, beliefs, emotions, and values. The roots of messes can be classified as ＜em＞Swans＜/em＞ (the inability to surface and test false assumptions and mistaken beliefs), ＜em＞Swine＜/em＞ (the inability to confront and manage greed, hubris, arrogance, and narcissism), and ＜em＞Swindlers＜/em＞ (the inability to confront, detect, and stop unethical and corrupt behavior). Working systematically with this concept and these classifications, authors Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff reveal that all crises are messes; one must learn to understand and manage them as such.＜/p＞＜p＞They then provide tools and frameworks that readers can use to more effectively deal with the crises of today and tomorrow. Drawing on ideas from research areas as diverse as human development, philosophy, rhetoric, psychology, and high reliability organizations, this book aims to be the definitive guide for a new era in crisis management. Therefore, it is a must-have for practitioners, scholars, and students who study and deal in real-life crises.＜/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。	8,457円

A Prince of Swindlers【電子書籍】[ Guy Boothby ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Extra Things added to the Book＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞Added details biography of Author＜/li＞＜li＞Added Index to get a quick view and interface＜/li＞＜li＞Added details bibliography＜/li＞＜/ul＞＜p＞To the reflective mind the rapidity with which the inhabitants of the world's greatest city seized upon a new name or idea, and familiarise themselves with it, can scarcely prove otherwise than astonishing. As an illustration of my meaning let me take the case of Klimo--the now-famous private detective, who has won for himself the right to be considered as great as Lecocq, or even the late lamented Sherlock Holmes. Up to a certain morning, London had never even heard his name, nor had it the remotest notion as to who or what he might be. It was as sublimely ignorant and careless on the subject as the inhabitants of Kamtchatka or Peru. Within twenty-four hours, however, the whole aspect of the case was changed. The man, woman, or child who had not seen his posters, or heard his name, was counted an ignoramus unworthy of intercourse with human beings. Princes became familiar with it as their trains bore them to Windsor to luncheon with the queen; the nobility noticed and commented upon it as they drove about the town; merchants, and businessmen generally, read it as they made their ways by omnibus or underground, to their various shops and counting-houses; street boys called each other by as a nickname; music hall artistes introduced it into their patter, while it was even rumored that the Stock Exchange itself had paused in the full flood-tide of business to manufacture a riddle on the subject.＜/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。	80円
