Citizenship Papers Essays【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"[Berry's] refusal to abandon the local for the global, to sacrifice neighborliness, community integrity, and economic diversity for access to Walmart, has never seemed more appealing, nor his questions of personal accountability more powerful."ー<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>There are those in America today who seem to feel we must audition for our citizenship, with "patriot" offered as the badge for those found narrowly worthy. Let this book stand as Wendell Berry's application, for he is one of those faithful, devoted critics envisioned by the Founding Fathers to be the life's blood and very future of the nation they imagined.</p> <p><em>Citizenship Papers</em> collects nineteen new essays, from celebrations of exemplary lives to critiques of American life, including "A Citizen's Response [to the new National Security Strategy]"ーa ringing call of caution to a nation standing on the brink of global catastrophe.</p> <p>**"The courage of a book, it has been said, is that it looks away from nothing. Here is a brave book." ー<em>The Charlotte Observer</em></p> <p>"Berry says that these recent essays mostly say again what he has said before. His faithful readers may think he hasn't, however, said any of it better before."ー<em>Booklist</em> (starred review)**</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。 2,155円

The Achievement of Wendell Berry The Hard History of Love【電子書籍】[ Fritz Oehlschlaeger ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Arguably one of the most important American writers working today, Wendell Berry is the author of more than fifty books, including novels and collections of poems, short stories, and essays.

In <em>The Achievement of Wendell Berry: The Hard History of Love,</em> Fritz Oehlschlaeger provides a sweeping engagement with Berry's entire corpus. The book introduces the reader to Berry's general philosophy and aesthetic through careful consideration of his essays. Oehlschlaeger pays particular attention to Berry as an agrarian, citizen, and patriot, and also examines the influence of Christianity on Berry's writings. Much of the book is devoted to lively close readings of Berry's short stories, novels, and poetry. <em>The Achievement of Wendell Berry</em> is a comprehensive introduction to the philosophical and creative world of Wendell Berry, one that offers new critical insights into the writing of this celebrated Kentucky author.</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。 5,729円

Circling the Square Stories from the Egyptian Revolution【電子書籍】[ Wendell Steavenson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In January 2011, as the crowds gathered to protest Mubarak's three decades of rule in Egypt, Wendell Steavenson went to Cairo to cover the story. But the revolution defied historical precedent, and it defied the templates of storytelling. There was no single villain, no lone hero, no neat conclusion that wouldn't be overturned the next day. Tahrir Square changed its moods like the weather; fickle, violent, hopeful, carnival.</p> <p>As she walks among the tents and the tanks, falling into conversation, sharing cigarettes and cold soda, Steavenson tells the story of a seismic historical moment as it is experienced by ordinary citizens. Here, we meet a young man from the slums with his homemade pistol; a seasoned observer who gives up on analysis; a leader who doesn't want to lead thrust uncomfortably into the spotlight; a Muslim Brotherhood politician trying to smooth over a restless parliament; and a military intelligence officer convinced that only the army can save Egypt.</p> <p>Steavenson captures the cacophony of dizzying events as protests and elections ebbed and flowed around the revolution, tipping it towards democracy and then back into the military's hands. Mixing reportage and travelogue, <em>Circling the Square</em> shows how the particular and the personal can illuminate more universal questions: what does democracy mean? What happens when a revolution throws everything up in the air?</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。 1,533円

The Path of the Law【電子書籍】[ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Path of the Law is a short essay by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., an American jurist who served on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1902 to 1932. A cornerstone of his jurisprudential philosophy was the prediction theory of law, believing the law should be defined specifically as a prediction of how the courts work. In The Path of the Law Holmes argues that a criminal isn't concerned about ethics or conceptions of natural law; they are concerned about avoiding punishment and jail. "The law", therefore, should be based on prediction of what will bring about punishment via the court system.</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。 458円

<p>Much more than an historical examination of liability, criminal law, torts, bail, possession and ownership, and contracts, <em>The Common Law</em> articulates the ideas and judicial theory of one of the greatest justices of the Supreme Court.

Placed People Rootedness in G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, and Wendell Berry【電子書籍】[ David Harden ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Modern humans are given lots of labels. Some see humans as consumers: consumers of goods, services, and entertainment for the Economy. Some see humans as souls to be saved. Some say humans are destructive animals that must not think too highly of themselves at the peril of the planet. All of these often competing and contradictory labels beg the question: "What are people for?" This book locates the starting point for answering this question in a placed perspective, and examines what G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, and Wendell Berry have to show us in this regard. These authors' rooted perspectives challenge us to see our communities and ourselves differently.</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。 2,831円

If not, this will help you gain intellectual insight to facilitate spiritual release to walk in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.</p> <p>Faith empowers you, but what does that look like? Faith emboldens you, but how will you know it? Faith relaxes you, but how do you rest in it? Faith molds you, but who and what are you becoming?

Pensare in piccolo【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Nel saggio che d? il titolo al volume, Wendell Berry mette in guardia il lettore dal pensare che qualsiasi causa ? da quella per i diritti civili a quella pacifista ? abbia una dimensione esclusivamente pubblica e politica. ? nella sfera personale, nell’azione quotidiana e individuale, che si gioca la partita pi? importante. Se non si ? consapevoli di questo, ogni lotta scade in una moda ideologica. L’ecologismo non fa eccezione. Sostenere organizzazioni e movimenti e criticare l’operato di governi e istituzioni non ? sufficiente. Prima di tutto dobbiamo cambiare noi stessi. ≪Per la maggior parte della storia di questo Paese ? scrive Berry ? il nostro motto, espresso o implicito, ? stato “pensare in grande”. Un motto migliore, e oggi necessario, ? “pensare in piccolo”, che implica un cambiamento necessario nel modo di pensare e di sentire, e indica il lavoro da fare≫. Se non ci rendiamo conto che la crisi ambientale ? causata dalle nostre scelte e abitudini, tutte le associazioni ambientaliste del mondo potranno fare ben poco. Se non siamo disposti a compiere rinunce importanti, la distruzione della natura e del pianeta sar? inevitabile. Dobbiamo metterci in gioco, ognuno nel suo piccolo, riscoprendo un rapporto genuino con la terra (coltivando, per esempio, un piccolo orto) e tornare a vivere quella relazione di interdipendenza che lega tra loro tutti gli esseri, umani, animali, vegetali. Solo cos? faremo la differenza. Nel secondo saggio che compone il libro, Una collina nativa, Berry racconta invece il suo rapporto con la terra d’origine e come abbia vissuto in prima persona ci? che teorizza e di cui scrive.</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。 1,100円

Wendell Phillips, Social Justice, and the Power of the Past【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Born into an elite Boston family and a graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, white Massachusetts aristocrat Wendell Phillips’s path seemed clear. Yet he rejected his family’s and society’s expectations and gave away most of his great wealth by the time of his death in 1884. Instead he embraced the most incendiary causes of his era and became a radical advocate for abolitionism and reform. Only William Lloyd Garrison rivaled Phillips’s importance to the antislavery and reform movements, and no one equaled his eloquence or intellectual depth. His presence on the lecture circuit brought him great celebrity both in America and in Europe and helped ensure that his reputation as an advocate for social justice extended for generations after his death.</p> <p>In <em>Wendell Phillips, Social Justice, and the Power of the Past</em>, the world’s leading Phillips scholars explore the themes and ideas that animated this activist and his colleagues. These essays shed new light on the reform movement after the Civil War, especially regarding Phillips’s sustained role in Native American rights and the labor movement, subjects largely neglected by contemporary historical literature. In this collection, Phillips’s views on matters related to race, ethnicity, gender, and class serve as a lens through which the contributors examine crucial social justice questions that remain powerful to this day. Tackling a range of subjects that emerged during Phillips’s career, from the effectiveness of agitation, the dilemmas of democratic politics, and antislavery constitutional theory, to religion, violence, interracial friendships, women’s rights, Native American rights, labor rights, and historical memory, these essays offer a portrait of a man whose deep sense of fairness and justice shaped the course of American 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。 2,858円

Ralph Waldo Emerson【電子書籍】[ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Ralph Waldo Emerson," Oliver Wendell Holmes delves into the life and philosophy of one of America's most profound thinkers. Through a blend of biographical analysis and literary critique, Holmes paints a vivid portrait of Emerson's transcendentalist ideals, highlighting his profound impact on American literature and culture.

Holmes, a contemporary of Emerson and himself a significant figure in the American literary and medical communities, draws upon his experiences and the prevailing intellectual currents of his time to explore Emerson's radical ideas about individuality, nature, and society. As a friend and admirer, Holmes offers unique insights into Emerson's character and motivations, navigating the intersection of philosophy and personal narrative with deftness and precision. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of American thought and literature. Holmes' reflective and intimate portrayal not only honors Emerson's legacy but also invites readers to ponder the relevance of his ideas in today's world, making it a timeless exploration of the human spirit.</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

The World-Ending Fire The Essential Wendell Berry【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**'He is unlike anybody else writing today ... After Donald Trump's election, we urgently need to rediscover the best of radical America. An essential part of that story is Wendell Berry. Few of us can live, or even aspire to, his kind of life. But nobody can risk ignoring him' Andrew Marr</p> <p>'Wendell Berry is the most important writer and thinker that you have (probably) never heard of. He is an American sage' -James Rebanks, author of <em>The Shepherd's Life</em>**</p> <p>Wendell Berry is 'something of an anachronism'. He began his life as the old times and the last of the old-time people were dying out, and continues to this day in the old ways: a team of work horses and a pencil are his preferred working tools. The writings gathered in <em>The World-Ending Fire</em> are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of the false call to progress, and in defence of the local landscapes that provide our cultural heritage, our history, our home.</p> <p>In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out to defend the land we live on. With grace and conviction, he shows that we simply cannot afford to succumb to the mass-produced madness that drives our global economy. The natural world will not withstand it.</p> <p>Yet he also shares with us a vision of consolation and of hope. We may be locked in an uneven struggle, but we can and must begin to treat our land, our neighbours, and ourselves with respect and care. We must, as Berry urges, abandon arrogance and stand in awe.</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。 1,533円

Vital Churches: Elder Responsibility for Their Pastors and Congregational Planning【電子書籍】[ Wendell McBurney ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“If we pay the minister that much, it won't be a calling any more. It will be a profession.”<br /> That comment, which I heard during a discussion on the minister's salary in a congregational meeting, encapsulates the attitudes of many Christians, namely that professional standards ought not to apply in the church. The comment expresses more than the infamous prayer: "Lord, you keep him humble and we'll keep him poor." It reflects the attitude that what applies as good practice in the "real" or natural world, does not apply in the spiritual world. Careful analysis, good planning, and diligent follow-through are at odds with trusting the Lord.<br /> The tendency to contrast decision-making in the natural world with that in the church is what Dr. Wendell McBurney confronts in this very helpful book. But he moves beyond simply challenging this form of thinking to showing congregations and particularly elders how they can go about good, effective planning, particularly for the personal and professional lives of ministers. And I do not know anyone who could do a better job of writing such a book than Wendell McBurney.</p> <p>ー W.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Pragmatism and Neuroscience【電子書籍】[ Jay Schulkin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explores the cultures of philosophy and the law as they interact with neuroscience and biology, through the perspective of American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes’ Jr., and the pragmatist tradition of John Dewey. Schulkin proposes that human problem solving and the law are tied to a naturalistic, realistic and an anthropological understanding of the human condition. The situated character of legal reasoning, given its complexity, like reasoning in neuroscience, can be notoriously fallible. Legal and scientific reasoning is to be understood within a broader context in order to emphasize both the continuity and the porous relationship between the two.</p> <p>Some facts of neuroscience fit easily into discussions of human experience and the law. However, it is important not to oversell neuroscience: a meeting of law and neuroscience is unlikely to prove persuasive in the courtroom any time soon. Nevertheless, as knowledge of neuroscience becomes more reliableand more easily accepted by both the larger legislative community and in the wider public, through which neuroscience filters into epistemic and judicial reliability, the two will ultimately find themselves in front of a judge. A pragmatist view of neuroscience will aid and underlie these events.</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。 9,723円

Nation on the Take How Big Money Corrupts Our Democracy and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Wendell Potter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>American democracy has become coin operated. Special interest groups increasingly control every level of government. The necessity of raising huge sums of campaign cash has completely changed the character of politics and policy making, determining what elected representatives stand for and how their time is spent. The marriage of great wealth and intense political influence has rendered our country unable to address our most pressing problems, from runaway government spending to climate change to the wealth gap. It also defines our daily lives: from the cars we drive to the air we breathe to the debt we owe.</p> <p>In this powerful work of reportage, Wendell Potter and Nick Penniman, two vigilant watchdogs, expose legalized corruption and link it to the kitchen-table issues citizens face every day. Inciting our outrage, the authors then inspire us by introducing us to an army of reformers laying the groundwork for change, ready to be called into action. The battle plan for reform presented is practical, realistic, and concrete. No one--except some lobbyists and major political donors--likes business as usual, and this book aims to help forge a new army of reformers who are compelled by a patriotic duty to fight for a better democracy.</p> <p>An impassioned, infuriating, yet ultimately hopeful call to arms, <em>Nation on the Take</em> lays bare the reach of moneyed interests and charts a way forward, toward the recovery of America's original promise.</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。 1,833円

What's So Hot About Volcanoes?【電子書籍】[ Wendell Duffield ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>You don’t have to take a trip to the thermal pools of Iceland or the black beaches of Hawaii to discover what’s so hot about volcanoes. Warm up instead with a copy of <em><strong>What</strong></em>***’******s So Hot About Volcanoes?***, a new book by volcanologist Wendell Duffield. Lively discussions introduce readers of all ages to the creative power of volcanoes, explaining the reasons behind where they form, what they look like, and when they explode.

The inside of Earth reaches a blistering 9,000 to 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and volcanoes simply release some of that pent-up heat from time to time.</p> <p>Sections of <em><strong>What</strong></em>***’***<em><strong>s So Hot About Volcanoes?</strong></em> explore the challenges of predicting eruptions, what happens when magma mixes with water, and how people are using volcanic heat for energy.

Virtues of Renewal Wendell Berry’s Sustainable Forms【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey Bilbro ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For over fifty years, Wendell Berry has argued that our most pressing ecological and cultural need is a renewed formal intelligenceーa mode of thinking and acting that fosters the health of the earth and its beings. Yet the present industrial economy prioritizes a technical, self-centered way of relating to the world that often demands and rewards busyness over thoughtful observation, independence over relationships, and replacing over repairing. Such a system is both unsustainable and results in destructive, far-reaching consequences for our society and land.</p> <p>In <em>Virtues of Renewal: Wendell Berry's Sustainable Forms</em>, Jeffrey Bilbro combines textual analysis and cultural criticism to explain how Berry's literary forms encourage readers to practice virtues of renewal. While the written word alone cannot enact change, Bilbro asserts that Berry's poetry, essays, and fiction can inspire people to, as Berry writes, "practice resurrection." Bilbro examines the distinct, yet symbiotic, features of these three genres, demonstrating the importance of the humanities in supporting tenable economies. He uses Berry's pieces to suggest the need for more robust language for discussing conservation, ecology, and the naturalーand regenerativeーprocess of death. Bilbro additionally translates Berry's literature to a wider audience, putting him in conversation with philosophers and theologians such as Ivan Illich, Willie Jennings, Charles Taylor, and Augustine.</p> <p>The lessons that Berry and his work have to offer are not only for those interested in cultivating the land, but also for those who cultivate their communities and live mindfully. In short, these lessons are pertinent to all who are willing to make an effort to live the examined life. Such formative work is not dramatic or quick, but it can foster the deep and lasting transformation necessary to develop a more sustainable culture and economy.</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。 3,369円

The Gift of Good Land Further Essays Cultural and Agricultural【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The essays in <em>The Gift of Good Land</em> are as true today as when they were first published in 1981; the problems addressed here are still true and the solutions no nearer to hand. The insistent theme of this book is the interdependence, the wholeness, the oneness of people, land, weather, animals, and family. To touch one is to tamper with them all. We live in one functioning organism whose separate parts are artificially isolated by our culture. Here, Berry develops the compelling argument that the “gift” of good land has strings attached. We have it only on loan and only for as long as we practice good stewardship.</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。 2,155円

A Small Porch Sabbath Poems 2014 and 2015【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>This collection of Wendell Berry poems and essaysーwritten outdoors on the Sabbathー“[shines] with the gentle wisdom of a craftsman who has thought deeply about the paradoxical strangeness and wonder of life” (<em>Christian Science Monitor</em>).</strong></p> <p>More than 35 years ago, Wendell Berry began spending his sabbaths outdoors, when the weather allowed, walking and wandering around familiar territory, seeking a deep intimacy only time could provide. These walks sometimes yielded poems. Each year since, he has completed a series of these poems dated by the year of its composition.</p> <p>This new sequence provides a virtual syllabus for all of Berry’s cultural and agricultural work in concentrated form. Many of these poems were written on a small porch in the woods, a place of stillness and reflection.</p> <p>Recently Berry has been reflecting on more than a half century of reading, to discover and to delight in the poetical, spiritual, and cultural roots of his work. In <em>The Presence of Nature in the Natural World</em>, Berry’s survey begins with Alan of Lille’s 12th-century work, <em>The Plaint of Nature</em>. From the Bible through Chaucer, from Milton to Pope, from Wordsworth to the moderns, Berry’s close reading is exhilarating. Moving from the canon of poetry to the sayings and texts found in agriculture and science, we gain new appreciation for the complexity of the issues faced in the 21st century by the struggling community of humans on earth.</p> <p>With this long essay appended to these new Sabbath Poems, the result is an unusual book of depth and engagement. A new collection of Wendell Berry poems is always an occasion for celebration, and this eccentric gathering is especially so.</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。 2,155円

Sex, Economy, Freedom, & Community Eight Essays【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>""Read [him] with pencil in hand, make notes, and hope that somehow our country and the world will soon come to see the truth that is told here."" ー<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p> <p>In this collection of essays, first published in 1993, Wendell Berry continues his work as one of America's most necessary social commentators. With wisdom and clear, ringing prose, he tackles head?on some of the most difficult problems confronting us near the end of the twentieth centuryーproblems we still face today.</p> <p>Berry elucidates connections between sexual brutality and economic brutality, and the role of art and free speech. He forcefully addresses America's unabashed pursuit of self?liberation, which he says is ""still the strongest force now operating in our society."" As individuals turn away from their community, they conform to a ""rootless and placeless monoculture of commercial expectations and products,"" buying into the very economic system that is destroying the earth, our communities, and all they represent.</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。 2,155円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In 1995, Wendell Berry’s <em>Roots to the Earth</em> was published in portfolio form by West Meadow Press. The wood etchings of celebrated artist and wood engraver, Wesley Bates, were printed from the original wood blocks on handmade Japanese paper. In 2014, this work was reprinted at Larkspur Press, along with additional poems. It is now with great pleasure that Counterpoint reproduces this collaborative work for trade publication, as well as expanding it with the inclusion of a short story, “The Branch Way of Doing,” and additional engravings by Bates.</strong></p> <p>In his introduction to the 2014 collection, Bates wrote: "As our society moves toward urbanization, the majority of the population views agriculture from an increasingly detached position. . . In his poetry [Berry] reveals tenderness and love as well as anger and uncertainty. . . The wood engravings in this collection are intended to be companion pieces to. . . the way he expresses what it is to be a farmer."</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。 2,021円
