The Machiavellian Moment Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Republican Tradition【電子書籍】[ John Greville Agard Pocock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Originally published in 1975, <em>The Machiavellian Moment</em> remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment."</p> <p>After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought.</p> <p>This Princeton Classics edition of <em>The Machiavellian Moment</em> features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.</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。

Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored Unveiling the Mysteries of Alchemy: Symbolism, History, and Practices Revealed【電子書籍】[ Archibald Cockren ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored," Archibald Cockren embarks on an intellectual odyssey that reinvigorates the ancient practice of alchemy through a modern lens. The book weaves together historical narratives, philosophical musings, and empirical analysis, deftly traversing the boundaries between mysticism and science. Cockren's literary style is both accessible and erudite, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of alchemical thought while illuminating its influence on contemporary scientific discourse. Delving into primary texts, he meticulously restores the profound significance of alchemy, challenging the dismissal of its practitioners as mere charlatans in the face of modernity. Archibald Cockren, a noted historian of science with a passion for esoteric traditions, draws upon his extensive background in both philosophy and experimental chemistry as the foundation for this work. His unique perspective is augmented by years of research into alchemical manuscripts and a desire to reclaim the intellectual rigor of alchemical traditions. Cockren's journey through the annals of history reveals how alchemical methodologies laid the groundwork for modern scientific inquiry, advocating for their rightful place in the evolution of human thought. I highly recommend "Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored" to both scholars and enthusiasts alike. This book not only serves as a clarion call for the revival of interest in the historical interplay between alchemy and science but also encourages readers to ponder the philosophical implications of transformation and knowledge. Cockren's work is a crucial addition to the library of anyone fascinated by the intricate tapestry of human inquiry.</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。

Bitters A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas【電子書籍】[ Brad Thomas Parsons ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Gone are the days when a lonely bottle of Angostura bitters held court behind the bar.</strong> A cocktail renaissance has swept across the country, inspiring in bartenders and their thirsty patrons a new fascination with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that make the American cocktail so special. And few ingredients have as rich a history or serve as fundamental a role in our beverage heritage as bitters.</p> <p>Author and bitters enthusiast Brad Thomas Parsons traces the history of the world’s most storied elixir, from its earliest “snake oil” days to its near evaporation after Prohibition to its ascension as a beloved (and at times obsessed-over) ingredient on the contemporary bar scene. Parsons writes from the front lines of the bitters boom, where he has access to the best and boldest new brands and flavors, the most innovative artisanal producers, and insider knowledge of the bitters-making process.</p> <p>Whether you’re a professional looking to take your game to the next level or just a DIY-type interested in homemade potables, Bitters has a dozen recipes for customized blends--ranging from Apple to Coffee-Pecan to Root Beer bitters--as well as tips on sourcing ingredients and step-by-step instructions fit for amateur and seasoned food crafters alike.</p> <p>Also featured are more than seventy cocktail recipes that showcase bitters’ diversity and versatility: classics like the Manhattan (if you ever get one without bitters, send it back), old-guard favorites like the Martinez, contemporary drinks from Parsons’s own repertoire like the Shady Lane, plus one-of-a-kind libations from the country’s most pioneering bartenders. Last but not least, there is a full chapter on cooking with bitters, with a dozen recipes for sweet and savory bitters-infused dishes.</p> <p>Part recipe book, part project guide, part barman’s manifesto, Bitters is a celebration of good cocktails made well, and of the once-forgotten but blessedly rediscovered virtues of bitters.</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。

Hitchcock on Hitchcock, Volume 1 Selected Writings and Interviews【電子書籍】[ Alfred Hitchcock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Gathered here for the first time are Alfred Hitchcock's reflections on his own life and work. In this ample selection of largely unknown and formerly inaccessible interviews and essays, Hitchcock provides an enlivening commentary on a career that spanned decades and transformed the history of the cinema. Bringing the same exuberance and originality to his writing as he did to his films, he ranges from accounts of his own life and experiences to techniques of filmmaking and ideas about cinema in general. Wry, thoughtful, witty, and humorousーas well as brilliantly informativeーthis selection reveals another side of the most renowned filmmaker of our time.</p> <p>Sidney Gottlieb not only presents some of Hitchcock's most important pieces, but also places them in their historical context and in the context of Hitchcock's development as a director. He reflects on Hitchcock's complicated, often troubled, and continually evolving relationships with women, both on and off the set. Some of the topics Hitchcock touches upon are the differences between English and American attitudes toward murder, the importance of comedy in film, and the uses and techniques of lighting. There are also many anecdotes of life among the stars, reminiscences from the sets of some of the most successful and innovative films of this century, and incisive insights into working method, film history, and the role of film in society.</p> <p>Unlike some of the complex critical commentary that has emerged on his life and work, the director's own writing style is refreshingly straightforward and accessible. Throughout the collection, Hitchcock reveals a delight and curiosity about his medium that bring all his subjects to life.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In Reaching Beyond, Buddhist thinker and activist Daisaku Ikeda explores the origins, development, and international influence of jazz with legendary artists Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Reflecting on their lives and careers, Mr. Hancock and Mr. Shorter share the lessons they have learned from their musical mentors, including Miles Davis and Art Blakey, and how the Buddhist philosophy they've learned from President Ikeda over the past forty years deeply resonates with the emancipatory spirit of jazz. These wide-ranging conversations include such thought-provoking topics as: ? Music's mission for peace in a time of discord ? The importance of the artist's spiritual growth ? The Buddhist concept of changing poison into medicine ? Ways to make the "ideal America" a reality for everyone Reaching Beyond offers positive new ideas for musicians and nonmusicians alike.</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。

The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences【電子書籍】[ Edward Hitchcock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Edward Hitchcock's "The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences" is a significant interdisciplinary work that explores the intersection of geology and religious thought during the 19th century. Hitchcock employs a didactic literary style, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and spiritual understanding. His meticulous examination of geological principles alongside theological implications reveals the growing tensions and synergies between emerging scientific paradigms and traditional religious beliefs. The book is set against the backdrop of a rapidly advancing scientific community, grappling with the implications of fossil discoveries and geological time, positioning it within the broader context of the American scientific and religious landscape. Hitchcock, a prominent geologist and theologian, was deeply influenced by his training and faith. As a professor at Amherst College and a geologist commissioned by the state of Massachusetts, he faced the challenge of reconciling his scientific findings with his religious convictions. His dedication to both fields allowed him to articulate a nuanced perspective on how geological discoveries could enrich spiritual understanding, reflecting the intellectual climate of the mid-19th century America. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the delicate balance between science and religion. Hitchcock's insights offer a profound understanding of the historical complexities in the dialogue between faith and empirical study, making it essential reading for scholars of geology, theology, and the history of science.</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。

Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World【電子書籍】[ James Hancock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills.</strong></p> <p>Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats.</p> <p>Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known.</p> <p>In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.</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。
