Redstone, was facing a very public lawsuit brought by a former romantic companion, Manuela Herzer, which placed Sumner’s deteriorating health and questionable judgment under a harsh light.＜/p＞＜p＞As an all-powerful media mogul, Sumner had been a demanding boss, and an even more demanding father.

Cuisine and Empire Cooking in World History【電子書籍】[ Rachel Laudan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world’s great cuisinesーfrom the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the presentーin this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in "culinary philosophy"ーbeliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the godsーprompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Cuisine and Empire＜/em＞ shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan’s innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges the agrarian, romantic, and nationalistic myths that underlie the contemporary food movement.＜/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。	3,863円

Cosmopolis Imagining Community in Late Classical Athens and the Early Roman Empire【電子書籍】[ Daniel S. Richter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This is a book about the ways in which various intellectuals in the post-classical Mediterranean imagined the human community as a unified, homogenous whole composed of a diversity of parts. More specifically, it explores how authors of the second century CE adopted and adapted a particular ethnic and cultural discourse that had been elaborated by late fifth- and fourth-century BCE Athenian intellectuals. At the center of this book is a series of contests over the meaning of lineage and descent and the extent to which the political community is or ought to be coterminous with what we might call a biologically homogenous collectivity. The study suggests that early imperial intellectuals found in late classical and early Hellenistic thought a way of accommodating the claims of both ethnicity and culture in a single discourse of communal identity. The idea of the unity of humankind evolved in the fifth and fourth centuries as a response to and an engine for the creation of a rapidly shrinking and increasingly integrated ＜em＞oikoumen?＜/em＞ . The increased presence of outsiders in the classical city-state as well as the creation of sources of authority that lay outside of the ＜em＞polis＜/em＞ destabilized the idea of the ＜em＞polis＜/em＞ as a kin group (＜em＞natio＜/em＞). Beginning in the early fourth century and gaining great momentum in the wake of Alexander's conquest of the East, traditional dichotomies such as Greek and barbarian lost much of their explanatory power. In the second-century CE, by contrast, the empire of the Romans imposed a political space that was imagined by many to be coterminous with the ＜em＞oikoumen?＜/em＞ itself. One of the central claims of this study is that the forms of cosmopolitan and ecumenical thought that emerged in both moments did so as responses to the idea that the ＜em＞natio＜/em＞ - the kin group - is (or ought to be) the basis for any human collectivity.＜/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。	16,444円
States of Obligation Taxes and Citizenship in the Russian Empire and Early Soviet Republic【電子書籍】[ Yanni Kotsonis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Beginning in the 1860s, the Russian Empire replaced a poll tax system that originated with Peter the Great with a modern system of income and excise taxes. Russia began a transformation of state fiscal power that was also underway across Western Europe and North America. ＜em＞States of Obligation＜/em＞ is the first sustained study of the Russian taxation system, the first to study its European and transatlantic context, and the first to expose the essential continuities between the fiscal practices of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.＜/p＞＜p＞Using a wealth of materials from provincial and local archives across Russia, Yanni Kotsonis examines how taxation was simultaneously a revenue-raising and a state-building tool, a claim on the person and a way to produce a new kind of citizenship. During successive political, wartime, and revolutionary crises between 1855 and 1928, state fiscal power was used to forge social and financial unity and fairness and a direct relationship with individual Russians. State power eventually overwhelmed both the private sector economy and the fragile realm of personal privacy. ＜em＞States of Obligation＜/em＞ is at once a study in Russian economic history and a reflection on the modern state and the modern citizen.＜/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。	12,899円
No Abolition of Slavery Or the Universal Empire of Love, A poem【電子書籍】[ James Boswell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "No Abolition of Slavery," James Boswell presents a compelling argument that delves into the contentious debates surrounding slavery in the late 18th century. Written in a prose style that is both eloquent and incisive, the book offers an intricate exploration of the philosophical, moral, and economic dimensions of slavery. Emerging from the Enlightenment's emphasis on rationality and human rights, Boswell's work grapples with the complexities of abolition and the socio-political landscape of his time, allowing readers to witness the clash between emerging humanitarian ideals and entrenched institutional practices. James Boswell, best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, was a keen observer of human behavior and societal norms. His extensive travels and interactions with prominent intellectuals and abolitionists shaped his views on the institution of slavery. Boswell's personal background and the socio-political climate of Scotland, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the European Enlightenment, informed his nuanced approach to the subject, enriching his arguments with diverse perspectives that resonate with the struggles of his era. This book is essential reading for those interested in the historical discourse on slavery and its moral implications. Boswell's judicious analysis not only sheds light on the issues of his time but also prompts contemporary readers to reflect critically on the enduring legacies of slavery. For scholars and general readers alike, "No Abolition of Slavery" serves as a profound invitation to engage with the moral complexities of freedom and human rights.＜/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

Amboina, 1623 Fear and Conspiracy on the Edge of Empire【電子書籍】[ Adam Clulow ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In 1623, a Japanese mercenary called Shichiz? was arrested for asking suspicious questions about the defenses of a Dutch East India Company fort on Amboina, a remote set of islands in what is now eastern Indonesia. When he failed to provide an adequate explanation, he was tortured until he confessed that he had joined a plot orchestrated by a group of English merchants based nearby to seize control of the fortification and ultimately to rip the spice-rich islands from the Company’s grasp. Two weeks later, Dutch authorities executed twenty-one alleged conspirators, sparking immediate outrage and a controversy that would endure for centuries to come.＜/p＞＜p＞In this landmark study, Adam Clulow presents a new perspective on the Amboina case that aims to move beyond the standard debate over the guilt or innocence of the supposed plotters. Instead, ＜em＞Amboina, 1623＜/em＞ argues that the case was driven forward by a potent combination of genuine crisis and overpowering fear that propelled the rapid escalation from suspicion to torture, that gave shape and form to an imagined plot, and that pushed events forward to their final bloody conclusion. Based on an exhaustive analysis of original trial documents, letters, and depositions, this book offers a masterful reinterpretation of a trial that has divided opinion for centuries while presenting new insight into global history and the nature of European expansion across the early modern world.＜/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。	8,383円

Byzantium The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire【電子書籍】[ Judith Herrin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For a thousand years an extraordinary empire made possible Europe’s transition to the modern world: Byzantium. An audacious and resilient but now little known society, it combined orthodox Christianity with paganism, classical Greek learning with Roman power, to produce a great and creative civilization which for centuries held in check the armies of Islam.＜/p＞＜p＞Judith Herrin’s concise and compelling book replaces the standard chronological approach of most histories of Byzantium. Instead, each short chapter is focused on a theme, such as a building (the great church of Hagia Sophia), a clash over religion (iconoclasm), sex and power (the role of eunuchs), an outstanding Byzantine individual (the historian Anna Komnene), a symbol of civilization (the fork), a battle for territory (the crusades). In this way she makes accessible and understandable the grand sweeps of Byzantine history, from the founding of its magnificent capital Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in 330, to its fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.＜/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。	1,714円
Rome, Empire of Plunder The Dynamics of Cultural Appropriation【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Bringing together philologists, historians, and archaeologists, Rome, Empire of Plunder bridges disciplinary divides in pursuit of an interdisciplinary understanding of Roman cultural appropriation - approached not as a set of distinct practices but as a hydra-headed phenomenon through which Rome made and remade itself, as a Republic and as an Empire, on Italian soil and abroad. The studies gathered in this volume range from the literary thefts of the first Latin comic poets to the grand-scale spoliation of Egyptian obelisks by a succession of emperors, and from Hispania to Pergamon to Qasr Ibrim. Applying a range of theoretical perspectives on cultural appropriation, contributors probe the violent interactions and chance contingencies that sent cargo of all sorts into circulation around the Roman Mediterranean, causing recurrent distortions in their individual and aggregate meanings. The result is an innovative and nuanced investigation of Roman cultural appropriation and imperial power.＜/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。	5,805円

Intoxicated Race, Disability, and Chemical Intimacy across Empire【電子書籍】[ Mel Y. Chen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In ＜em＞Intoxicated＜/em＞ Mel Y. Chen explores the ongoing imperial relationship between race, sexuality, and disability. They focus on nineteenth-century biopolitical archives in England and Australia to show how mutual entanglements of race and disability take form through toxicity. Examining English scientist John Langdon Down’s characterization of white intellectual disability as Asian interiority and Queensland’s racialization and targeting of Aboriginal peoples through its ostensible concern with black opium, Chen explores how the colonial administration of race and disability gives rise to “intoxicated” subjects often shadowed by slowness. Chen charts the ongoing reverberations of these chemical entanglements in art and contemporary moments of political and economic conflict or agitation. Although intoxicated subjects may be affected by ongoing pollution or discredited as agents of failure, Chen affirmatively identifies queer/crip forms of unlearning and worldmaking under imperialism. Exemplifying an undisciplined thinking that resists linear or accretive methods of inquiry, Chen unsettles conventional understandings of slowness and agitation, intellectual method, and the toxic ordinary.＜/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。	3,347円

It’s an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange environments where it can flourish most. It’s a book about the great forebears and founders of a lost era, and the disrupters who would take the music down truly new paths. And it’s about why the world of jazz most people know is a museum to this never-replicated period.＜/p＞＜p＞But above all, ＜em＞3 Shades of Blue＜/em＞ is a book about three very different menーthe greatness and varied fortunes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan’s hands, a national odyssey with no direction home. It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.＜/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。	2,036円
