How the Black Death Gave Us the NHS【電子書籍】[ Jaime Breitnauer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As the world is gripped by the coronavirus pandemic, all eyes in the UK have been on our NHS heroes. But where did they come from? Why do we have such a unique free at the point of use healthcare system? How has this benefitted British society? And how does healthcare in other countries work? Going back to pre-history, we will take a look at epidemics and pandemics through the ages and how they have consistently nudged healthcare policy toward a more social model. They say a measure of civilised society is how it provides for its citizens, and the NHS has been the backbone of Great Britain for the best part of a century. As well as looking at its origins and counterparts in other countries, we will take a look at how the Covid-19 pandemic has been handled, and what the future of social healthcare might be across the globe.</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。 1,440円

The Fall of the House of Zeus The Rise and Ruin of America's Most Powerful Trial Lawyer【電子書籍】[ Curtis Wilkie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Masterful . . . an epic tale of backbiting, shady deal-making, and greed [that] reads like a John Grisham novel.”ー<em>The Wall Street Journal</em></strong></p> <p><strong>A real-life legal thriller as timeless as a Greek tragedy, tracing the downfall of one of America’s most famous lawyers and exposing the dark side of Southern politicsーfrom the author of <em>When Evil Lived in Laurel</em></strong></p> <p>Dickie Scruggs was arguably the most successful plaintiff’s lawyer in America. A brother-in-law of former U.S. Senate majority leader Trent Lott, Scruggs made a fortune taking on mass tort lawsuits against Big Tobacco and the asbestos industries. He was hailed by <em>Newsweek</em> as a latter-day Robin Hood and was portrayed in the movie <em>The Insider</em> as a dapper aviator-lawyer. Scruggs’s legal triumphs rewarded him lavishly, and his success emboldened both his career maneuvering and his influence in Southern politicsーbut at a terrible cost, culminating in his spectacular fall, when he was convicted for conspiring to bribe a Mississippi state judge.</p> <p>Based on extensive interviews, transcripts, and FBI recordings never made public, <em>The Fall of the House of Zeus</em> uncovers the Washington legal games and power politics: the swirl of fixed cases, blocked investigations, judicial tampering, and a zealous prosecution that would eventually ensnare not only Scruggs but his own son, Zach, in the midst of their struggle with insurance companies over Hurricane Katrina damages.</p> <p>Featuring Trent Lott and Jim Biden, brother of then-Senator Joe Biden, in supporting roles, with cameos by John McCain, Al Gore, and other Washington insiders, Curtis Wilkie’s account of this uniquely American tragedy reveals the seedy underbelly of institutional 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。 1,064円

A Foot Soldier for Patton The Story of a "Red Diamond" Infantryman with the US Third Army【電子書籍】[ Michael C. Bilder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>This candid memoir of a GI serving under Gen. Patton offers a rare glimpse into the realities of life and combat in Europe during WWII.</strong></p> <p>Though Gen. Patton's army is famous for dashing armored attacks, some of the most intensive fighting of World War II was done by Patton's infantryーthe foot sloggers who were deployed to reduce enemy strong points. This candid account of the US infantry in the European theater takes the reader from the beaches of Normandy to the conquest of Germanyーall through the eyes of an infantryman who had the unique perspective of speaking the enemy's language.</p> <p>A fluent German speaker, Michael Bilder was called upon for interrogations and other special duties. As a combat lifeguard, he also played a key role in successive river crossings. Here, Bilder relates his experiences of infantry life, from German snipers to intoxicated Frenchwomen, to the often morbid humor of combat. He also describes the Battle of Metz in all its horror, as well as the 5th Infantry's drive into the Bulge, where they faced their first winter battle against enemy veterans of Russia.</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。 1,921円

Your Spirits Walk Beside Us The Politics of Black Religion【電子書籍】[ Barbara Dianne Savage ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Even before the emergence of the civil rights movement with black churches at its center, African American religion and progressive politics were assumed to be inextricably intertwined. In her revelatory book, Barbara Savage counters this assumption with the story of a highly diversified religious community whose debates over engagement in the struggle for racial equality were as vigorous as they were persistent. Rather than inevitable allies, black churches and political activists have been uneasy and contentious partners.</p> <p>From the 1920s on, some of the best African American mindsーW. E. B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Benjamin Mays, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Mary McLeod Bethune, Charles S. Johnson, and othersーargued tirelessly about the churches’ responsibility in the quest for racial justice. Could they be a liberal force, or would they be a constraint on progress? There was no single, unified black church but rather many churches marked by enormous intellectual, theological, and political differences and independence. Yet, confronted by racial discrimination and poverty, churches were called upon again and again to come together as savior institutions for black communities.</p> <p>The tension between faith and political activism in black churches testifies to the difficult and unpredictable project of coupling religion and politics in the twentieth century. By retrieving the people, the polemics, and the power of the spiritual that animated African American political life, Savage has dramatically demonstrated the challenge to all religious institutions seeking political change in our time.</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。 4,168円

Orpheus The Song of Life【電子書籍】[ Ann Wroe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For at least two and a half millennia, the figure of Orpheus has haunted humanity. Half-man, half-god, musician, magician, theologian, poet and lover, his story never leaves us. He may be myth, but his lyre still sounds, entrancing everything that hears it: animals, trees, water, stones, and men.</p> <p>In this extraordinary work Ann Wroe goes in search of Orpheus, from the forests where he walked and the mountains where he worshipped to the artefacts, texts and philosophies built up round him. She traces the man, and the power he represents, through the myriad versions of a fantastical life: his birth in Thrace, his studies in Egypt, his voyage with the Argonauts to fetch the Golden Fleece, his love for Eurydice and journey to Hades, and his terrible death.</p> <p>We see him tantalising Cicero and Plato, and breathing new music into Gluck and Monteverdi; occupying the mind of Jung and the surreal dreams of Cocteau; scandalising the Fathers of the early Church, and filling Rilke with poems like a whirlwind. He emerges as not simply another mythical figure but the force of creation itself, singing the song of light out of darkness and life out of death.</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。 779円

Imperator, Deus The Wars of Constantine the Great and the Foundations of the Christian Church【電子書籍】[ John R. Prann Jr. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It is 312 AD outside ancient Rome as Emperor Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus stands above the Tiber River and watches his enemy, Maxentius, and over one hundred thousand soldiers cross Milvian Bridge and take position on the battlefield. Unfortunately, forty-year-old Constantine no longer feels like the invincible god his enemies and some friends believe he is. But as he stands in the midst of a civil war, Constantine knows now is not the time for doubts. As he capitalizes on his opponent’s smallest mistakes and executes strategies that reflect his perception and genius, Constantine brutally battles within two global wars that not only include Maxentius, but also several other enemies with large forces. While he consolidates his power on the battlefield, Constantine must fight the fissures within an emerging Christian Church controlled by two popes and countless bishops. But as Emperor Constantine grows older and becomes a devoted father, battles erupt within his own family that lead to dramatic changes. Imperator, Deus shares the fascinating historical tale of the first Christian Emperor of the Roman Empire from his victory at the Milvian Bridge in October 312 AD to his death twenty-five years later.</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。 552円

Machines That Become Us The Social Context of Personal Communication Technology【電子書籍】[ James E. Katz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Social critics and artificial intelligence experts have long prophesized that computers and robots would soon relegate humans to the dustbin of history. Many among the general population seem to have shared this fear of a dehumanized future. But how are people in the twenty-first century actually reacting to the ever-expanding array of gadgets and networks at their disposal? Is computer anxiety a significant problem, paralyzing and terrorizing millions, or are ever-proliferating numbers of gadgets being enthusiastically embraced? Machines that Become Us explores the increasingly intimate relationship between people and their personal communication technologies.In the first book of its kind, internationally recognized scholars from the United States and Europe explore this topic. Among the technologies analyzed include the Internet, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, networked homes, smart fabrics and wearable computers, interactive location badges, and implanted monitoring devices. The authors discuss critical policy issues, such as the problems of information resource access and equity, and the recently discovered digital dropouts phenomena.The use of the word become in the book's title has three different meanings. The first suggests how people use these technologies to broaden their abilities to communicate and to represent themselves to others. Thus the technologies become extensions and representatives of the communicators. A second sense of become applies to analysis of the way these technologies become physically integrated with the user's clothing and even their bodies. Finally, contributors examine fashion aspects and uses of these technologies, that is, how they are used in ways becoming to the wearer. The conclusions of many chapters are supported by data, including ethnographic observations, attitude surveys and case studies from the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Finland, and Norway. This approach is especially valuable</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。 10,418円

Orpheus The Theosophy of the Greeks【電子書籍】[ George Robert Stow Mead ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>WHO has not heard the romantic legend of Orpheus and Eurydice? The polished verse of Virgil, in his GeorgiME (iv. 452-527), has immortalised the story, told by "C?rulean Proteus". But few know the importance that mythical Orpheus plays in Grecian legends, nor the many arts and sciences attributed to him by fond posterity. Orpheus was the father of the Pan-Hellenic faith, the great theologer, the man who brought to Greece the sacred rites of secret worship and taught the mysteries of nature and of God. To him the Greeks confessed they owed religion, the arts, the sciences both sacred and profane; and, therefore, in dealing with the subject I have proposed to myself in this essay, it will be necessary to treat of a theology "which was first mystically and symbolically promulgated by Orpheus, afterwards disseminated enigmatically through images by Pythagoras, and in the last place scientifically unfolded by Plato and his genuine disciples" or to use the words of Proclus, the last great master of Neoplatonism, "all the theology of the Greeks comes from Orphic mystagogy," that is to say, initiation into the mysteries. Not only did the learned of the Pagan world ascribe the sacred science to the same source, but also the instructed of the Christian fathers (ibid., p. 466). It must not, however, be supposed that Orpheus was regarded as the "inventor" of theology, but rather as the transmitter of the science of divine things to the Grecian world, or even as the reformer of an existing cult that, even in the early times before the legendary Trojan era, had already fallen into decay. The well-informed among the ancients recognised a common basis in the inner rites of the then existing religions, and even the least mystical of writers admit a 'common bond of discipline,' as, for instance, Lobeck, who demonstrates that the ideas of the Egyptians, Chald?ans, OrphiME and Pythagoreans were derived from a common source.</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。 441円

<p>As a strategic port and a centre where Spitfires were being built Southampton suffered badly from Luftwaffe air raids during World War Two. More than 2,300 bombs and 30,000 incendiary devices rained on the city. Nearly 45,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Nazi publicity declared that the city had been left a smoking ruin and the fire glow over the wreckage could be seen as far away as Cherbourg.<br /> Apart from the night bombing German aircraft strafed the streets with machine gun fire. The war over Southampton left 630 civilians dead, 898 seriously injured and nearly a thousand with slight wounds.<br /> One 500lb bomb killed 14 children. It landed on the Arts Block in the Civic Centre, tore through the roof and exploded inside the basement where children were sheltering.<br /> As in London and Coventry there were heroes and tragedy, fear and hope. Jennie Sherborne’s novel unfolds against this dramatic background when Britain turned defeat into victory.</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。 765円

Violence Against Women in the US Theory, Research and Policy【電子書籍】[ Maddy Coy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Analyzing what is known about violence against women, this book centers on the contrast between the U.S.’s historic focus on a criminal legal framework and the human rights lens used globally by feminist activists.</p> <p>Distilling the existing evidence base and literature on violence against women in the United States, this book includes an overview of forms of violence, the prevalence of violence, contexts in which violence occurs, and debates about intervention and prevention. It engages with how human rights frameworks define violence against women as a cause and consequence of women’s inequality, and explores how race, ethnicity, class, citizenship status, and sexual orientation shape experiences of victimization, perpetration, and institutional responses. Chapters synthesize prevalence methods and data, key feminist concepts, impacts and aftermath of violence, what is known about perpetrators, the history of anti-violence activism, violence against women on college campuses and in the media, and how the criminal legal systems respond. Contested issues, such as prostitution and pornography, and the extent to which commercial sex can be understood as a form of, and/or context for, violence against women, are also explored. The book closes with a final chapter offering directions for adopting a human rights approach to ending violence against women in the United States.</p> <p>By offering an analysis of how violence against women has come to be named in activist, policy, and academic arenas, <em>Violence Against Women in the US</em> is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners.</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。 8,465円

Give Us This Day Lenten Reflections on Baking Bread and Discipleship【電子書籍】[ Christopher Levan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bread speaks to us of our daily reliance upon a Maker, writes Christopher Levan. Perhaps more than any other food it brings us close to our roots as fellow creatures of God's creation. Bread is an apt metaphor for the spiritual journey.</p> <p><em>Give Us This Day</em> offers meditations for every day in Lent, inviting us to connect faith, "our daily bread," and the world in which we live, along with recipes that range from Shrove Tuesday "No-Fret Pancakes" to Easter Challah bread. Each of the 40 meditations begins with a scripture verse and a prayer.</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。 2,343円

Give Us This Day Devotionals, Volume 2 Mark【電子書籍】[ Charles Erlandson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Give Us This Day is a unique daily devotional commentary for the entire New Testament based on the ancient method called lectio divina. Lectio divina, or "divine reading," is the method used by the early church and countless Christians through the centuries to read the Scriptures to form and transform the soul more than merely to inform the mind. Give Us This Day deals in depth with entire passages and their contexts. Rather than selecting only certain portions of the New Testament to write about, Fr. Charles has written a devotional for each and every passage of the New Testament. Fr. Charles writes for the whole person: he's not afraid to use his sense of humor, and he carefully relates the Bible not only to the individual's life but also to the life of the Church. At the end of each day's devotional, an appropriate Prayer is offered, as well as Points for Further Reflection on the day's lesson. Each devotional concludes with a suggested Resolution to put into effect what the Spirit has stirred up in the heart of the reader during the course of his reading, meditation, and prayer.</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。 2,995円

American Zeus The Life of Alexander Pantages, Theater Mogul【電子書籍】[ Taso G. Lagos ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Alexander Pantages was 13 when he arrived in the U.S. in the 1880s, after contracting malaria in Panama.</p> <p>He opened his first motion picture theater in 1902 and went on to build one of the largest and most important independently-owned theater chains in the country. At the height of the Pantages Theaters' reach, he owned or operated 78 theaters across the U.S. and Canada. He amassed a fortune, yet he could not read or write English.</p> <p>In 1929 he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old dancer--a scandal that destroyed his empire and reduced him to a pariah. The day his grandest theater, the Pantages Hollywood, opened in 1930, he lay sick in a jailhouse infirmary. His conviction was overturned a year later after an appeal to the California State Supreme Court, but the question remains: How should history judge this theater pioneer, wealthy magnate and embodiment of the American Dream?</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。 2,604円

Only This Can Save Us The Way The World Is and What We Need It to Be【電子書籍】[ Joseph Oakwood ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ever wondered how to save the planet, and humanity?</p> <p>Here's how. This is how we could now be living in our world</p> <p>All the history you know so far: They only tell you about reality B.</p> <p>This book is the first ever to tell you about reality A, a more peace and friendship loving world.</p> <p>Reality B is the world you currently live in, and the picked episode stories that have been chosen to form your primary history lessons and your main understanding of the world are the result of nationalist bodies' efforts to edit which stories get told according solely to their preferences. As reality B is completely run and dominated by nationalist forces, operating in country-level institutions with no limits to their poorly judged use of power, every single thing you know about the world is only being broadcasted and taught because it suits your nationalist country. This is because you currently live in a world where evil has, to some extent, won the fight that really matters.</p> <p>Whenever "the people of an area" seek to be allowed to do things differently, the cruel and insanely powerful nation state, usually but not always, sends in its many evil troops and its infinitely over-funded weapons of mass destruction to kill and destroy. We Proudly Present: A Far Better History and Future for All Mankind. B is for bad, whereas A is for awesome.</p> <p>Reality A, on the other hand, is the better world, the world we should be in. Here things are a lot closer to the way it ought to have gone, and to the way things should now be. And it's final long-term future will probably be the same as ours, eventually, but not for a very long while yet.</p> <p>Reality A is life, in a more civilised form, with 97% of all wars of the past 250 years averted or severely reduced in scale and cut short also in time, as the big problems of the time were solved in other, better ways instead. Prepare to leap through the vortex and enter a superb planet earth of flourishing local and international powers where, in the big political mass-struggles, both sides are simultaneously given real power wins over an acceptable (smaller) realm of areas, where killing the opponent off is made unnecessary, unwise, not an option and impossible and where flare-ups of conflict are prevented from growing into anything horrific.</p> <p>The history of every other continent and of every town and province is a complicated, convoluted simultaneous existence of many forces for change next to each other, some larger and some smaller. In reality B, the heads of state, government, the legal system, the national press and media, and the order-givers of the military, between them, and quite often all these five powers are somehow acquired by one and the same person, or group, who then decides the outcome of every disagreement in the world, each time, with those in control of the national-level government holding all the cards of power, and the local, regional, town and international level organisations are left having to resort to beg for temporary and tiny handouts, and for the survival of any puny power packages they may have had loaned to them in asymmetric and unkind terms by the all-powerful national government.</p> <p>The reality of having many countries and many histories in each continent applies in both realities. But in reality B, there is one completely different and completely dominant world-ruling cocky and supreme super power continent: North America, and there is one country in this continent that has been too big to comply with anything for 100 years now, thus totally ruining the planet for all the world's citizens, even as it sometimes tried to help.</p> <p>In the years 1000 ? 1500 North America and the world contained many free societies, tribes, clans, and independent families, albeit some had evil neighbours or roaming troops nearby who may occasionally, and with no prior notice, raid, invade and destroy the food stores, the wealth reserves, the homes and the population at an unexpected moment. Such an evil menace. And as you read on, it will become clear what the response to these should have been.</p> <p>Overall, it would not be a lie to say that there were hundreds and maybe even thousands of countries co-existing in North America, not always peacefully, where today there are only two, the massive USA and the militarily and film and IT-mega-company lacking much smaller Canada. In those times, decision-making power was walking distance away, with a weekly meeting of village elders there to sort your issues out for you, and the rules were made according to a village's required responses to circumstances, coupled with its limited available resources.</p> <p>Find out where the two realities truly come from, what damages the world suffers under each, how they compare, and whether they ever converge in the future? What is our destiny? And what's thebest way forward, now that we understand what went wrong and how to put it right.

Give Us This Day The Lord’s Prayer【電子書籍】[ Tom Kingery ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Give Us This Day is more than a reflective exposition of The Lord’s Prayer ? it is about prayer in general and the ways prayer manifests itself in our relationships.</p> <p>By emphasizing the “us” in the prayer, Tom Kingery nurtures the relevance of what Jesus has given in teaching us this prayer. When Jesus teaches us to pray, “Our Father,” it serves as a reminder that we are all brothers and sisters. Everyone who can pray this prayer is a child of God.</p> <p>E. Stanley Jones has said that “prayer is not so much an act as an attitude.” The author likes to say that prayer is the poetry of the soul. It becomes an outward expression of an inward state of being.</p> <p>Prayer, as an attitude, involves a threefold relationship: with yourself, with God, and with the world. But more than anything else, prayer is what makes us, as human beings, the image and likeness of God. When we are praying, we are spiritual beings trying to connect to the spirit of God.</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。 552円
