<p><strong>Comment et pourquoi les syst?mes politiques chutent-ils ? L'analyse ? la fois historique et contemporaine du plus passionnant des chercheurs am?ricains. Un livre essentiel pour comprendre l'instabilit? du monde actuel.</strong><br /> Les soci?t?s d?mocratiques sont aujourd'hui mises ? mal, contest?es et parfois r?prouv?es par des citoyens qui ont toujours eu le droit de vote. Elles sont jug?es de plus en plus in?galitaires et g?n?rent toujours plus de frustrations, de col?re, de ressentiment. Alors, ? quel moment un syst?me qui nous paraissait indestructible touche-t-il ? sa fin ? Comment les turbulences politiques ? m?me de conduire ? une guerre civile s'expliquent-elles ? Pourquoi les dirigeants d'une soci?t? peuvent-ils subitement perdre pied ? Qu'est-ce qui, en un mot, m?ne ? l'effondrement ?</p> <p>? ces questions de plus en plus saillantes et urgentes, Peter Turchin offre des analyses et des r?ponses proprement r?volutionnaires : les donn?es ? partir desquelles il travaille retracent pas moins de 10 000 ans d'histoire et rassemblent plus de 700 soci?t?s, de l'?gypte ancienne ? l'Am?rique contemporaine, en passant par la Chine imp?riale et la France m?di?vale.

War and Peace and War The Rise and Fall of Empires【電子書籍】[ Peter Turchin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**From the author of <em>End Times</em></p> <p>In <em>War and Peace and War,</em> Peter Turchin uses his expertise in evolutionary biology to offer a bold new theory about the course of world history.**</p> <p>Turchin argues that the key to the formation of an empire is a society’s capacity for collective action. He demonstrates that high levels of cooperation are found where people have to band together to fight off a common enemy, and that this kind of cooperation led to the formation of the Roman and Russian empires, and the United States. But as empires grow, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, conflict replaces cooperation, and dissolution inevitably follows. Eloquently argued and rich with historical examples, <em>War and Peace and War</em> offers a bold new theory about the course of world history with implications for nations today.</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。 790円

A Free Church in a Free State The Possibilities of Abraham Kuyper’s Ecclesiology for Japanese Evangelical Christians【電子書籍】[ Surya Harefa ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>How does Christ call his people to engage the societies, cultures, and politics of the nations they call home? From prioritizing patriotism over faith to withdrawing from the public sphere entirely, the struggle to navigate the intersection of an earthly and heavenly kingdom remains an ongoing challenge for Christians around the world. Bridging cultures and time periods, Dr. Surya Harefa brings Abraham’s Kuyper’s ecclesiology to bear on questions of Japanese Christian engagement within the political sphere. Harefa offers a contextually robust exploration of evangelical Japanese approaches to ecclesiology and political involvement. Taking care to place Kuyper’s conception of the church within Kuyper’s own political and historical context, careful lines of application are drawn between Kuyper’s theological perspectives and the need for an active Japanese church engaged in all spheres of life. This book is an excellent resource for those seeking to equip Christians to engage politically as followers of Christ for the good of the church and their nations. It also provides an example of the rich and powerful insight offered by exploring Western and non-Western theologies within their diverse contexts and in conversation with each other.</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。 3,255円

An Urchin of Means【電子書籍】[ April White ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ringo Devereux knows far too much for a man of his times. There’s no simple explanation for it that doesn’t involve improbable conversations about the future, and Ringo’s advanced understanding of three-phase generators and the secret histories of his city are not things he can discuss with the Victorian Londoners around him. Even his origins as an orphaned street thief are far too dangerous for a young gentleman of means to reveal.<br /> An encounter with a ten-year-old pickpocket, and a luncheon with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle draw Ringo back into the shadows of his criminal past. A stolen gemstone, a suspicious pawnbroker, and a damning bundle of letters are mysteries that require Ringo’s thief’s instincts, his obscure facts, and the help of a little girl with the skills of deduction like his.<br /> But are these crimes as random as they first appear? What do a covert affair and a blue carbuncle have in common? Ringo knows too much, but someone knows more, and the identity of a mysterious red-haired woman is perhaps the most diabolically complicated plot of them all.</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。 556円

The Urchin Warriors Of Love and War【電子書籍】[ R.W. Nichelson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The elite 12th SS Hitler youth Panzer Division consisting of seventeen and eighteen-year-old boys was one of WWII's most feared fighting forces. Fanatically dedicated to Nazi ideology and the Third Reich, these young men participated in such decisive battles as the counter attack of the D-Day invasion in Normandy to the chaos of the Battle of the Bulge. This is the story of Kristian Ackmann, his baptism of fire in bloody combat and the despair of a forbidden love. In the last years of WWII, Germany became desperate for men due to the massive casualties suffered fighting the Russians on the Eastern Front. Out of this desperation Hitler began drafting boys between the ages of 16 to 18 years old. Young Kristian joins the 12th SS and is sent to Caen France, near the Normandy coast in preparation of the inevitable allied invasion. On his way to France he meets Holly Petit, an inviting and beautiful young French girl. They quickly fall madly in love, amid the chaos of war. But their love must be kept secret for fear of retribution from both sides of this unparalleled conflict. Saboteurs, spies and the allies, are a constant danger to Kristian and they somehow know every move the Germans make. As the danger increases day by day, so does the passion these two young lovers share. Though their nations are enemies, they find love and comfort from the unending nightmare in each other's arms. Love can't conquer war, but can it survive one?</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。 487円

The Boy from the Brothel The Story of a Street Urchin’s Rise to the Pinnacle of Viennese Society【電子書籍】[ G.J. Anderson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It is 1907 and nine-year-old Willi has built a solid reputation on the streets. Although he is becoming a legend among the gangs and street urchins for his ability to plan ahead and sense danger, Willi has other ideas. After separating himself from life in the gutter by securing a space in an unused top-floor store room in a warehouse, he is now free to observe the seedier side of the night life of Vienna and the early morning starving artist community alone. A year later he heroically saves a young woman from a brutal situation.

Alisha: A Desert Urchin Part III: The Vandals【電子書籍】[ Frank Keith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A Vandal patrol out in the desert intercepts a small group of Arabs. The leader of the patrol learns that these Arabs are an envoy task force from Sakakah. They were sent by the sultan to seek out the barbarians and to inform them that Geisarix is a captive of the sultan. Sultan Mejhem ibn El-Hashem wishes to conduct talks with the barbarians and so Geilamir, the father of Geisarix and the Vandal baron, sends a group of men to accompany the Arabs back to the city to hold talks there.<br /> Meanwhile, things go awry for Sultan el-Hashem; Geisarix and the girls manage to escape from the dungeons. Despite numerous and thorough searches throughout the city by el-Hashem's soldiers, the three fugitives remain at large. Thus, when the Vandal delegation arrives at the palace, the sultan has no Geisarix to present them with. As a consequence, El-Hashem decides to lock up the Vandal envoy team and plans to use them as hostages instead of Geisarix. Despite this move, el-Hashem still does not give up his search for the three escapees.<br /> Alisha, Zenobia and Geisarix have been given refuge by an underground freedom-fighting organization called Muqatili Aleadalat, whose leaders are the brothers and true emirs of Sakakah, Farid and Salim. A couple of times Alisha and the other two must use escape tunnels to flee from the grasp of the sultan's troops, who are still combing through the city for them. They eventually learn that a spy from Emir Abd al Alim has managed to get established within the secret organization, and no less inside the leadership cell. But not enough; Alisha realizes that there is yet another spy there too.<br /> Events in the sultanate eventually develop in an unforeseen way. Shortly after the imprisonment of the Vandal delegation in the citadel of Sakakah, a small Arab rebel delegation reaches the Vandals on the lonely hilltop fort. They inform Geisarix's father Geilamir that his delegation has been imprisoned by the sultan. Geilamir decides to move against the city of Sakakah to free his son and his men. The rebels are willing to help the Vandals in this endeavor, for they too have persons who are captives in the citadel and wish them to be set free.<br /> Retrospectively, the Vandal king had promised Geilamir to sent ships and troops to him after one year had passed to look after him and his men. Geilamir had remained in the Arab lands after Geisarix was captured to seek his son. Now the year was up and the king has kept word; another Vandal force has landed on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. This force unites with Geilamir and together they march against Sakakah.<br /> Alisha, Zenobia and Geisarix attempt to stop the second spy from divulging the secrets of the rebel organization to the emir. Alisha manages to identify who the spy is. In this effort, the three get separated in the night and in the confusion that reigns in the city. The streets are dangerous for them because the sultan's troops are still out and about looking for them. Alisha eventually gets captured and by none other than the feared and hated Musad.<br /> In the city, members of the rebels get prepared to help the Vandals free their men and the other prisoners too. However, they learn that the Vandal forces are much larger than they had anticipated. Thus, they contemplate doing more than just free captives; now they plan to regain control of all of Sakakah and even to depose the fake sultan, Mejhem ibn El-Hashem, and replace him with the true heir to the sultanate throne, Riyad ibn el-Hashem. The rebels also learn that el-Hashem has sent messengers to the other cities and garrisons of the sultanate to request reinforcements. They now realize that time is of the essence. Speed and planning will determine if their rebellion shall succeed or fail.</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。 300円

Urchin at War The Tale of a Leipzig Rascal and his Lutheran Granny under Bombs in Nazi Germany【電子書籍】[ Uwe Siemon-Netto ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What was it like to grow up as an urban urchin under bombs in Nazi Germany? Did he have a real childhood? Did he play pranks on grownups, as young rascals do in normal times? Could he be shielded against Nationalist ideology? In <em>Urchin at War</em>, Uwe Siemon-Netto answers these questions in the affirmative with humour and drama.<br /> The son of a lawyer blinded in World War I, he describes the parallel universe in which his bourgeois family lived in Leipzig. He vividly writes about the night when his home was bombed out. He had to guide his father over puddles of green flames caused by phosphor to his grandmother's apartment where he discovered hours later that ー of all people ー Frenchmen had rescued his mother from the flames. He tells the story of how he stole a tram after an air raid, and how his family buried his grand-aunt's right hand because that was the only body part rescuers found under the rubble after her house was hit by a blockbuster bomb.<br /> Dr. Siemon-Netto, a journalist and academic, relates how in a country parsonage he was evacuated to, the pro-Nazi pastor beat him up for using French loan words and how he preached on Sundays that Hitler was Germany's saviour, prompting the courageous organist to whisper into the author's ears: "He's lying! He is betraying our Lord!"<br /> When the Americans occupied Leipzig on Hitler's birthday in 1945, the author's family feasted on half an egg in mustard sauce each.<br /> <em>Urchin at War</em> is an Ode to <em>Omi</em>, his funny and intrepid grandmother Clara Netto, a grande dame who in the air raid shelter taught him basic Lutheran doctrine so well that it led him to interrupt his stellar career as a reporter at age 50 to study theology in Chicago and earn a doctorate in Boston.<br /> <em>Urchin at War</em> is the first volume in the 1517 Publishing's <em>Urchin Series</em> about the extraordinary life story of a kid and high school dropout who became a sought-after newsman, who covered the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War, and ended up being a Lutheran lay theologian.</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。 1,474円

Alisha: A Desert Urchin Part I: The Harem【電子書籍】[ Frank Keith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Sultan Mejhem ibn El-Hashem has forty-two wives and countless children. He has a large, prosperous realm, a large palace and numerous fortresses too. He has good relations with the Byzantine Empire and also the Persian one. Emissaries come from far and wide to pay homage to this illustrious ruler of Anazzah, master of Sakakah and Ar’ar, of the numerous other towns, villages and oases and of the deserts too stretching to the north, to the south, to the west and to the east.<br /> But, despite the sultan’s many riches, influence and power, and his complete command over life and death, he lacks the control over one single person.<br /> And her name is Alisha.<br /> Alisha is but one of many … one wife out of forty-two. A mere child when she was snatched away from the streets of Sakakah, this former street urchin was discovered by one of the sultan’s wife seekers. She was a beautiful girl, only thirteen years old and just right for the ruler. Alisha was made a wife and she served him well enough until other, younger wives took his interest away from her. But Alisha did not care about this. She never loved nor even liked the sultan. She thought of him as an old, fat and ugly man, aloof and uncaring and wholly inadequate as a husband. And despite her previous life in the city streets, Alisha was never impressed by el-Hashem’s power and wealth.<br /> One day, Alisha fell in love with another wife of the sultan. Her name is Zenobia. And Zenobia loved Alisha too, for she felt the same way about their husband as Alisha. Thus, the two wives of the sultan lived their daily lives in the palace, married to him, but devoted to each other.<br /> Alisha kept up the veneer of being a sultan’s wife until one day she and Zenobia met a prisoner. His name is Geisarix and he was brought to Sakakah by the Byzantines, who had captured him in battle. The barbarian warrior was to be sold as a slave, but the sultan bought him instead, to be made a member of his guards. When Alisha and Zenobia first saw him, they were impressed by his looks, strength and sense of freedom. This chance meeting inadvertently increased Alisha’s desires to be free again, like she once was.<br /> And thus she and Zenobia initiated a plan that would free them from the sultan’s clutches and liberate Geisarix too, whose defiance got him thrown into the dungeon. Although things initially went well, they run into trouble when the sultan catches wind of some of their misdeeds. Eventually, the two girls end up in the dungeons, and even a slave too, who had assisted the two wives.<br /> And thus the four of them sit in murky cells, lost and forlorn.<br /> What will happen next? Will the sultan punish Alisha and Zenobia further, as he had promised? Or will they be set free? If not, can they get free on their own? Will Alisha forsake Zenobia to favor Geisarix, or perhaps vice versa? And what will become of Bahira, the slave?</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。 218円
