1177 B.C. The Year Civilization Collapsed: Revised and Updated【電子書籍】[ Eric H. Cline ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapse＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen?＜/p＞＜p＞In this major new account of the causes of this "First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries.＜/p＞＜p＞A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, ＜em＞1177 B.C.＜/em＞ sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Ageーand that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.＜/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。	2,444円

Armada A novel by the author of Ready Player One【電子書籍】[ Ernest Cline ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞From the author of ＜em＞Ready Player One＜/em＞, a rollicking alien invasion thriller that embraces and subverts science-fiction conventions as only Ernest Cline could.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure.＜/p＞＜p＞So when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of escapism have finally tipped over into madness.＜/p＞＜p＞Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight simulator callled Armada--in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders.＜/p＞＜p＞As impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too real.

Biblical Archaeology A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Eric H Cline ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Public interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year--during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. ＜em＞Biblical Archaeology＜/em＞ offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle that has lasted a thousand years. Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would "prove" the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field. ＜em＞Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction＜/em＞ captures the sense of excitement and importance that surrounds not only the past history of the field but also the present and the future, with fascinating new discoveries made each and every season. ＜strong＞About the Series＜/strong＞: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, ＜strong＞Very Short Introductions＜/strong＞ offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.＜/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。	657円

Empty Planet The Shock of Global Population Decline【電子書籍】[ Darrell Bricker ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A ＜em＞SUNDAY TIMES＜/em＞ MUST-READ＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞'Riveting and vitally important' - Steven Pinker＜/strong＞＜br /＞＜strong＞'A gripping narrative＜/strong＞＜strong＞of a world on the cusp of profound change' - Anjana Ahuja, ＜em＞New Statesman＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Empty Planet＜/em＞ offers a radical, provocative argument that the global population will soon begin to decline, dramatically reshaping the social, political and economic landscape.＜/p＞＜p＞For half a century, statisticians, pundits and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population will soon overwhelm the earth's resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different kind of alarm. Rather than growing exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep decline.＜/p＞＜p＞Throughout history, depopulation was the product of catastrophe: ice ages, plagues, the collapse of civilizations. This time, however, we're thinning ourselves deliberately, by choosing to have fewer babies than we need to replace ourselves. In much of the developed and developing world, that decline is already underway, as urbanisation, women's empowerment, and waning religiosity lead to smaller and smaller families. In ＜em＞Empty Planet＜/em＞, Ibbitson and Bricker travel from South Florida to Sao Paulo, Seoul to Nairobi, Brussels to Delhi to Beijing, drawing on a wealth of research and firsthand reporting to illustrate the dramatic consequences of this population decline - and to show us why the rest of the developing world will soon join in.＜/p＞＜p＞They find that a smaller global population will bring with it a number of benefits: fewer workers will command higher wages; good jobs will prompt innovation; the environment will improve; the risk of famine will wane; and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia, as aging populations and worker shortages weaken the economy and impose crippling demands on healthcare and vital social services. There may be earth-shaking implications on a geopolitical scale as well.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Empty Planet＜/em＞ is a hugely important book for our times. Captivating and persuasive, it is a story about urbanisation, access to education and the empowerment of women to choose their own destinies. It is about the secularisation of societies and the vital role that immigration has to play in our futures.＜/p＞＜p＞Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, ＜em＞Empty Planet＜/em＞ offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent - but that we can shape, if we choose to.＜/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。	2,063円

The Better Angels of Our Nature Why Violence Has Declined【電子書籍】[ Steven Pinker ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞“If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be thisーthe most inspiring book I've ever read."＜br /＞ーBill Gates (May, 2017)＜/p＞＜p＞Selected by ＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞ as a Notable Book of the Year＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞The author of ＜em＞Rationality＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Enlightenment Now＜/em＞ offers a provocative and surprising history of violence.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millenia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, programs, gruesom punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?＜/p＞＜p＞This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the esesnce of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives--the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away--and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.＜/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。	1,565円

Class, Politics, and the Decline of Deference in England, 1968-2000【電子書籍】[ Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In late twentieth-century England, inequality was rocketing, yet some have suggested that the politics of class was declining in significance, while others argue that class identities lost little power. Neither interpretation is satisfactory: class remained important to 'ordinary' people's narratives about social change and their own identities throughout the period 1968-2000, but in changing ways. Using self-narratives drawn from a wide range of sources - the raw materials of sociological studies, transcripts from oral history projects, Mass Observation, and autobiography - the book examines class identities and narratives of social change between 1968 and 2000, showing that by the end of the period, class was often seen as an historical identity, related to background and heritage, and that many felt strict class boundaries had blurred quite profoundly since 1945. Class snobberies 'went underground', as many people from all backgrounds began to assert that what was important was authenticity, individuality, and ordinariness. In fact, Sutcliffe-Braithwaite argues that it is more useful to understand the cultural changes of these years through the lens of the decline of deference, which transformed people's attitudes towards class, and towards politics. The study also examines the claim that Thatcher and New Labour wrote class out of politics, arguing that this simple - and highly political - narrative misses important points. Thatcher was driven by political ideology and necessity to try to dismiss the importance of class, while the New Labour project was good at listening to voters - particularly swing voters in marginal seats - and echoing back what they were increasingly saying about the blurring of class lines and the importance of ordinariness. But this did not add up to an abandonment of a majoritarian project, as New Labour reoriented their political project to emphasize using the state to empower the individual.＜/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。	14,114円
Rethinking the Decline of China's Qing Dynasty Imperial Activism and Borderland Management at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century【電子書籍】[ Daniel McMahon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The many instances of regional insurgency and unrest that erupted on China’s borderlands at the turn of the nineteenth century are often regarded by scholars as evidence of government disability and the incipient decline of the imperial Qing dynasty. This book, based on extensive original research, argues that, on the contrary, the response of the imperial government went well beyond pacification and reconstruction, and demonstrates that the imperial political culture was dynamic, innovative and capable of confronting contemporary challenges. The author highlights in particular the Jiaqing Reforms of 1799, which enabled national reformist ideology, activist-oriented administrative education, the development of specialised frontier officials, comprehensive borderland rehabilitation, and the sharing of borderland administration best practice between different regions. Overall, the book shows that the Qing regime had sustained vigour, albeit in difficult and changing circumstances.＜/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。	10,317円

This work concludes Livy'??s monumental history, capturing the tumultuous political landscape and cultural shifts during a pivotal era, while also addressing themes of virtue, morality, and the impact of fate on human endeavors. The inclusion of epitomes and fragments offers invaluable insights into lost works, enriching the reader's understanding of Roman historiography and scholarly discourse of the time. Livy, a prominent Roman historian born in 59 BCE, is often regarded as one of the foundational figures in the crafting of historical narrative. His dedication to exploring the complexities of Rome'??s past is evident in his comprehensive analysis of civic duty, governance, and the moral fabric of society. Livy's experiences during the transitional period of Rome undoubtedly influenced his perspective on power and ethics, driving him to produce a work that both captivates and instructs through history. This book is an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike, as it not only supplements Livy'??s earlier volumes but also serves as a crucial resource for understanding the depth of Roman history.

The Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank, 1397-1494【電子書籍】[ Prof. Raymond de Roover ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The roots of modern capitalism go back to the Italian banking system of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the fifteenth century, the Medici Bank succeeded in overshadowing its competitors, the Bardi and the Peruzzi, who were the giants of the fourteenth century, and grew into a vast establishment with branches in most of the large cities of Western Europe. A study of its operations is essential to an understanding of the economic conditions in Europe in the fifteenth century.＜br /＞ From a careful study of pertinent documents, including a set of libri segreti (confidential ledgers) discovered in 1950, Professor de Roover has reconstructed the details of the bank's organization and operating methods; its loan policies, which reflected the Church's doctrine on usury; its trading and industrial investments; its roles within the Florentine gild system and tax structure; and its activities as financial agent of the Church. He covers every aspect of the bank's history, from its early years under the management of Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici to its collapse with the expulsion of the Medici from Florence.＜br /＞ "An invaluable contribution to the economic history of the period….A splendid book."ーHarry A.

Empty Planet The Shock of Global Population Decline【電子書籍】[ Darrell Bricker ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞NATIONAL BESTSELLER ? In this “gripping narrative of a world on the cusp of profound change” (＜em＞New Statesman＜/em＞), an award-winning journalist and leading international social researcher argue that the global population’s inevitable decline will dramatically reshape our social, political, and economic landscape.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞“An ambitious reimagining of our demographic future.”ー＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞For half a century, statisticians, pundits, and politicians have warned that a burgeoning population will soon overwhelm the earth’s resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different alarm. Rather than continuing to increase exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep declineーand in many countries, that decline has already begun.＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞Empty Planet,＜/em＞ international social researcher Darrell Bricker and award-winning journalist John Ibbitson find that a smaller global population will bring with it many benefits: Fewer workers will command higher wages, the environment will improve, the risk of famine will wane, and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. The United States and Canada are well positioned to successfully navigate these coming demographic shiftsーunless growing isolationism leads us to close ourselves off just as openness becomes more critical to our survival than ever.＜/p＞＜p＞Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, ＜em＞Empty Planet＜/em＞ offers a vision of the future that we can no longer preventーbut one that we can shape, if we choose.＜/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。	2,351円

Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America’s deals and protect democratic interests around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. Increasingly, America is a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.＜/p＞＜p＞In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth ? Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His first-hand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing on newly unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with warlords, whistle-blowers, and policymakers ? including every living secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson ? ＜em＞War on Peace＜/em＞ makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, short-sightedness, and outright malice ? but it may just offer a way out of a world at war.＜/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。	2,229円

Reads like a Shakespearean drama on steroids." ＜em＞ー Los Angeles Times＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞"Explosive." ＜em＞ーThe New York Times＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞"[The] most significant book to date about Biden’s cognitive decline." ＜em＞ー The Atlantic＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞"Destined to stand alongside classics like Theodore White’s ＜em＞The Making of the President 1960＜/em＞ and even Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward’s ＜em＞All the President’s Men＜/em＞ as one of the great books about American electoral politics.” ー Richard Aldous, ＜em＞Persuasion＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞From two of America’s most respected journalists comes an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history: Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite evidence of his serious declineーamid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration.＜/p＞＜p＞In Greek tragedy, the protagonist’s effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.＜/p＞＜p＞Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.＜/p＞＜p＞Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it. From White House staffers at the highest to lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and the Cabinet, from governors to donors and Hollywood players, the truth is finally being told. What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and recklessーa desperate bet that went bustーand part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.＜/p＞＜p＞The irony is biting: In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his implicit promise to serve for only one term, denying the existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years, dooming the Democrats to defeat. The decision to run again, the Original Sin of this president, led to a campaign of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has happened as a consequence. Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively. Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, ＜em＞Original Sin＜/em＞ is essential reading.＜/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。	2,664円
The Decline and Rise of Democracy A Global History from Antiquity to Today【電子書籍】[ David Stasavage ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞"One of the most important books on political regimes written in a generation."＜strong＞ーSteven Levitsky, ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞?bestselling author of ＜em＞How Democracies Die＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞A new understanding of how and why early democracy took hold, how modern democracy evolved, and what this history teaches us about the future＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Historical accounts of democracy’s rise tend to focus on ancient Greece and pre-Renaissance Europe. ＜em＞The Decline and Rise of Democracy＜/em＞ draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richerーdemocratic practices were present in many places, at many other times, from the Americas before European conquest, to ancient Mesopotamia, to precolonial Africa. Delving into the prevalence of early democracy throughout the world, David Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourishedーand when and why they declinedーcan provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but also about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing from examples spanning several millennia, Stasavage first considers why states developed either democratic or autocratic styles of governance and argues that early democracy tended to develop in small places with a weak state and, counterintuitively, simple technologies. When central state institutions (such as a tax bureaucracy) were absentーas in medieval Europeーrulers needed consent from their populace to govern. When central institutions were strongーas in China or the Middle Eastーconsent was less necessary and autocracy more likely. He then explores the transition from early to modern democracy, which first took shape in England and then the United States, illustrating that modern democracy arose as an effort to combine popular control with a strong state over a large territory. Democracy has been an experiment that has unfolded over time and across the worldーand its transformation is ongoing.＜/p＞＜p＞Amidst rising democratic anxieties, ＜em＞The Decline and Rise of Democracy＜/em＞ widens the historical lens on the growth of political institutions and offers surprising lessons for all who care about governance.＜/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。	4,257円

The Despot's Accomplice How the West is Aiding and Abetting the Decline of Democracy【電子書籍】[ Brian Klaas ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the world is steadily becoming less democratic. The true culprits are dictators and counterfeit democrats. But, argues Klaas, the West is also an accomplice, inadvertently assaulting pro-democracy forces abroad as governments in Washington, London and Brussels chase pyrrhic short-term economic and security victories. Friendly fire from Western democracies against democracy abroad is too high a price to pay for a myopic foreign policy that is ultimately making the world less prosperous, stable and democratic. ＜em＞The Despot's Accomplice＜/em＞ draws on years of extensive interviews on the frontlines of the global struggle for democracy, from a poetry-reading, politician-kidnapping general in Madagascar to Islamist torture victims in Tunisia, Belarusian opposition activists tailed by the KGB, West African rebels, and tea-sipping members of the Thai junta. Cumulatively, their stories weave together a tale of a broken system at the root of democracy's global retreat.＜/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。	1,642円

Now he lays out the detailed program he uses with his own patients. Accessible and detailed, it can be tailored to anyone's needs and will enhance cognitive ability at any age.＜/p＞＜p＞What we call Alzheimer's disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. Bredesen starts by having us figure out which of these insults we need to address and continues by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. Focusing on the Ketoflex 12/3 Diet, which triggers ketosis and lets the brain restore itself with a minimum 12-hour fast, Dr. Bredesen drills down on restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, exercise, and brain training. He also examines the tricky question of toxic exposure and provides workarounds for many difficult problems. The takeaway is that we do not need to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we can do it well enough.＜/p＞＜p＞With inspiring stories from patients who have reversed cognitive decline and are now thriving, this book shifts the treatment paradigm and offers a new and effective way to enhance cognition as well as unprecedented hope to sufferers of this now no longer deadly disease.＜/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。	1,880円
The Rise and Fall of the EAST How Exams, Autocracy, Stability, and Technology Brought China Success, and Why They Might Lead to Its Decline【電子書籍】[ Yasheng Huang, Ph.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞The long history of China’s relationship between stability, diversity, and prosperity, and how its current leadership threatens this delicate balance＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞“Riveting.”ーTunku Varadarajan, ＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞A ＜em＞Foreign Affairs＜/em＞ Best Book of 2023＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Chinese society has been shaped by the interplay of the EASTーexams, autocracy, stability, and technologyーfrom ancient times through the present. Beginning with the Sui dynasty’s introduction of the civil service exam, known as ＜em＞Keju＜/em＞, in 587 CEーand continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)ーChinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices. But this uniformity came with a huge downside: stifled creativity.＜/p＞＜p＞Yasheng Huang shows how China transitioned from dynamism to extreme stagnation after the ＜em＞Keju＜/em＞ was instituted. China’s most prosperous periods, such as during the Tang dynasty (618?907) and under the reformist CCP, occurred when its emphasis on scale (the size of bureaucracy) was balanced with scope (diversity of ideas).＜/p＞＜p＞Considering China’s remarkable success over the past half-century, Huang sees signs of danger in the political and economic reversals under Xi Jinping. The CCP has again vaulted conformity above new ideas, reverting to the ＜em＞Keju＜/em＞ model that eventually led to technological decline. It is a lesson from China’s own history, Huang argues, that Chinese leaders would be wise to take seriously.＜/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。	3,095円
