楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Before anyone knew there was such a thing, Jack London gave us the natural: Young Pat Glendon has never drunk alcohol nor tasted tobacco. He loves nature, is afraid of cities, and is shy of women. And he is a perfect fighter. Summoned from the city to consider such a prospect, cynical Sam Stubener, manager of prize-fighters, is struck by the boy’s extraordinary athletic graceーand soon man and boy are off to San Francisco to take on the heavyweight world.</p> <p>The Abysmal Brute is the story of natural grace pitted against worldly brutishness. A subtle social drama played out in the arena of sportーin a day long before sport moved to the center of American cultureーit is also a rousing romantic tale in the tradition of one of our great storytellers. As Pat hones his skillーand his curious styleーon one champion fighter after another, he contends for the heart of a lovely admirer and for the soul of professional boxing, whose rampant corruption his blows expose.</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。 132円

The Abysmal Brute【電子書籍】[ Jack London ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Abysmal Brute is a novel by American writer Jack London, first published in book form in 1913. It is a short novel, and could be regarded as a novelette. It first appeared in September 1911 in Popular Magazine.<br /> In the story, a successful boxer, who was brought up in a log cabin and knows little of the real world, begins to realize the corrupt practices in the game of boxing.<br /> In 1910, when the story was written, London had become a famous writer but he was worried that he had exhausted his ideas. The Abysmal Brute was based on one of several plot outlines he bought from Sinclair Lewis, an admirer of London who was at the beginning of his career.<br /> Other stories by Jack London about boxing are his novel The Game, published in 1905, his short story "A Piece of Steak" of 1909, and his short story "The Mexican" of 1911.<br /> Sam Stubener, a boxing manager in San Francisco, travels to a remote log cabin in northern California on getting a letter from retired boxer Pat Glendon, who lives there with his son, Pat Glendon Jr, a promising young boxer. Pat Jr fights well; otherwise, he knows little of city life; he hunts and fishes in the forest, he reads poetry and avoids women.<br /> Sam brings Pat Jr back to San Francisco. Although Sam and Pat both know he could win a fight with a top boxer, the conventions of boxing require that Pat has to start with a boxer of lower rank. In his first three fights, he knocks out his opponent immediately with one punch. Sam tells Pat to make his fights last longer; since Pat says that he is master of his opponent "at any inch or second of the fight", they agree on which round the knockout will happen.<br /> Pat's career takes off, winning fights worldwide. The newspapers, who interpret his detachment from the real world as unsociability, call him "The Abysmal Brute." Sam protects him from the corruption in boxing. Pat is not aware that Sam is using his knowledge of the timing of the knockout in a betting syndicate. There is more, but we don't want to be a spoiler.</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。 132円

Rewriting Psychology An Abysmal Science?【電子書籍】[ David Y. F. Ho ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Of what use is psychology if it does not help to solve the pressing problems of the day at the individual and collective levels? This is no less a pointed question to the reader as it is to the author that sets the stage for an adventurous sharing of ideas. The author shies away from providing ready-made answers but spares no effort in stirring the reader to ponder questions about human nature and behavior. Soon, the reader will react with the exclamation, “Ah, this book is about me, useful to my life!” In this way, the book serves to bridge the gap between academia and the general public.</p> <p>As the reader may well expect, bold assertions may be found throughout this volume. For instance, Piaget’s stage of formal operations does not represent the final or highest level of cognitive development; rather, dialectical thinking is the apex of human cognition. Viewpoints may be controversial, such as cautioning against importing Confucian education into America; the possibility that madness may enrich your life; raising the question if Trump is immoral, mentally deranged, or both.</p> <p>The present offering is at once audacious and provocative: Having raised the question about the abysmal status of psychology, the author feels compelled to take on the challenge of rewriting an academic discipline. The reader is invited to consider new visions for psychology’s future development, both scientific and practical. Fresh materials or distinctive features seldom found elsewhere are presented: the author’s “secret thoughts” and self-revelations; a discussion on the birth of evil and reinterpretation of the fall of humankind. All these expand the traditional boundaries of psychology and bring it closer to be a science relevant to the human condition.</p> <p><strong>WORDS OF PRAISE</strong></p> <p><em>David Ho’s book is a long-awaited constructive critique of why psychology has not succeeded in becoming a real science. This book is a must-read for any young aspiring psychology student, East or West.</em><br /> Jaan Valsiner, Niels Bohr Professor of Cultural Psychology, Aalborg University; Foreign Member, Estonian Academy of Sciences.</p> <p><em>In his alarming book, David Ho demonstrates vividly and ardently that self-actualization, celebrated in Western psychology, is not more than an opiate of the mind as long as it is disconnected from societal problems and historical change.</em><br /> Hubert Hermans, Emeritus Professor, Catholic University of Nijmegen; creator of Dialogical Self Theory.</p> <p><em>Professor Ho has challenged psychologists to remove themselves from the slumber that has left them unaware of their lack of societal effectiveness.</em><br /> Duran Bell, Professor Emeritus, Economics and Anthropology, University of California, Irvine.</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。 3,631円

The Abysmal Army【電子書籍】[ Greg Tuck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Abysmal Army is a group of misfits and rejects of armies that tried their best to make a living in medieval times when what we now call mythical creatures lived and worked side by side with humans. Thackery was their leader and he formed 99% of the collective IQ of the army. The Abysmals were a mixed bag of dwarves, gargoyles, grotesques, dragons, orcs and the occasional human. They traveled all over Europe looking for fame and fortune. However they were the least successful army going around and would run up the surrender flag at the drop of a helmet. If you are into puns, impossible situations and have a warped sense of humour, this may be the book for you.</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

Confessions a journey through abysmal depths【電子書籍】[ Benj Gabun Sumabat ]

<p>"This collection of prose and poetry is three years in the making. It is a book of sorrows, high hopes, good and bad days, and memories-either to be forgotten or remembered. This is a journey of life and its bittersweet misadventures-shards turned into art.</p> <p>Confessions that were whispered or held within the most bottomless abyss of one's heart and soul; it is a book that explores the corners of one's mind where darkness often finds its comfort. A life of solitude, disconnection, poetry, books, literature, and imaginary worlds created as haven-to temporarily escape this world and all that comes with it.</p> <p>When you read this book, I hope you will think that what you hold is a life-living, beating, moving, and having dreams. Hold it gently; thread it slowly and carefully. Sink into the words, thoughts, and experiences. And when sundown commences, you will realize that after all you have been through, life is still worth living."</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。 360円

<p>SAM STUBENER ran through his mail carelessly and rapidly. As became a manager of prize-fighters, he was accustomed to a various and bizarre correspondence. Every crank, sport, near sport, and reformer seemed to have ideas to impart to him. From dire threats, such as pushing in the front of his face, from rabbit-foot fetishes to lucky horseshoes, from dinky jerkwater bids to the quarter-of-a-million-dollar offers of irresponsible nobodies, he knew the whole run of the surprise portion of his mail.</p> <p>In his time having received a razor-strop made from the skin of a lynched Negro, and a finger, withered and sun-dried, cut from the body of a white man found in Death Valley, he was of the opinion that never again would the postman bring him anything that could startle him. But this morning he opened a letter that he read a second time, put away in his pocket, and took out for a third reading. It was postmarked from some unheard-of post office in Siskiyou County, and it ran:</p> <p>Dear Sam:<br /> You don't know me, except my reputation. You come after my time, and I've been out of the game a long time. But take it from me I ain't been asleep. I've followed you, from the time Kal Aufman knocked you out to your last handling of Nat Belson, and I take it you're the niftiest thing in the line of managers that ever came down the pike.<br /> I got a proposition for you. I got the greatest unknown that ever happened. This ain't con. It's the straight goods. What do you think of a husky that tips the scales at two hundred and twenty pounds fighting weight, is twenty-two years old, and can hit a kick twice as hard as my best ever? That's him, my boy, Young Pat Glendon, that's the name he'll fight under. I've planned it all out. Now the best thing you can do is hit the first train and come up here.<br /> I bred him and trained him. All that I ever had in my head I've hammered into his. And maybe you won't believe it, but he's added to it. He's a born fighter. He's a wonder at time and distance. He just knows to the second and the inch, and he don't need to think about it at all. His six-inch jolt is more the real sleep medicine than the full-arm swing of most geezers.<br /> Talk about the hope of the white race. This is him. Come and take a peep. When you was managing Jeffries you was crazy about hunting. Come along and I'll give you some real hunting and fishing that will make your movie picture winnings look like thirty cents. I'll send Young Pat out with you. I ain't able to get around. That's why I'm sending for you. I was going to manage him myself. But it ain't no use. I'm all in and likely to pass out any time. So get a move on. I want you to manage him. There's a fortune in it for both of you, but I want to draw up the contract.<br /> Yours truly,<br /> PAT GLENDON</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。 538円
