The Experiment , The【電子書籍】[ Myrto Azina Chronides ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Winner of the European Union Prize for Literature 2010 The Experiment can be described as 'a study of erotic love and the soul'. The two main characters undertake to write a play together, as an experiment, to see if they can succeed where others have failed, in achieving true collaboration and union through their writing. They come up with the story and the plot together; she writes the female character, he the male. She, 'a woman in perpetual search', is an unbowed woman who claims her freedom and he, 'a wise man, a believer in the Socratic, "All I know is that I know nothing"', participate in the experiment on equal terms. The erotic couple is called to recognize, through writing and literature, his/her other half, his/her mate and eventually the self as other. The result of this experiment is a stream of consciousness and a collection of tales in which themes such as love, sex, religious etacy, psychiatry and myth are intertwined. The book's style is unique, as it attempts to unify subtly connected narratives, partial tales that lean toward the structure of a more synthetic prose piece, but which cannot be regarded as either novella or novel. The book in its original Greek was awarded the prestigious European Prize for Literature in 2011. The aim of this prize is to put the spotlight on the creativity and diverse wealth of Europe's contemporary literature in the field of fiction, to promote the circulation of literature within Europe and encourage greater interest in non-national literary works. Translated into English, The Experiment offers the reader a unique and enriching reading experience which transcends literary and cultural norms.</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。 880円

The Intuition Experiment【電子書籍】[ Sophie Jacobs ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>The Intuition Experiment</em>, author Sophie Jacobs takes readers on her post-graduate exploration of what it means to live out a deeper truth; one decision, experience, and journal entry at a time. This insightful collection of essays centers around the four elements to demonstrate the natural order from which our knowing emerges. Jacobs' raw, real-time experience is a moving attempt to make sense of the invisible threads of her young adult life. Her lyrical, atmospheric style of writing brings you on a journey filled with depth, longing, confusion, and budding clarity - of inner knowing.</p> <p>You'll read stories such as <em>Burn it Down</em>, in which Jacobs shares the role intuition played in saving her life, and <em>Mindfulof the Mundane</em>, a call to ground oneself in daily living as a spiritual practice.</p> <p>These elemental essays will leave you with a more nuanced understanding of intuitive wisdom and an open inquiry into what it means to live life aligned. Spiritually oriented young adults, as well as those navigating life transitions, will find a sense of solace and inspiration in Jacobs' words.</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。 714円

The American Experiment and the Idea of Democracy in British Culture, 1776?1914【電子書籍】[ Ruth Livesey ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In nineteenth-century Britain, the effects of democracy in America were seen to spread from Congress all the way down to the personal habits of its citizens. Bringing together political theorists, historians, and literary scholars, this volume explores the idea of American democracy in nineteenth-century Britain. The essays span the period from Independence to the First World War and trace an intellectual history of Anglo-American relations during that period. Leading scholars trace the hopes and fears inspired by the American model of democracy in the works of commentators, including Thomas Paine, Mary Wollstonecraft, Alexis de Tocqueville, Charles Dickens, John Stuart Mill, Richard Cobden, Charles Dilke, Matthew Arnold, Henry James and W. T. Stead. By examining the context of debates about American democracy and notions of ’culture’, citizenship, and race, the collection sheds fresh light on well-documented moments of British political history, such as the Reform Acts, the Abolition of Slavery Act, and the Anti-Corn Law agitation. The volume also explores the ways in which British Liberalism was shaped by the American example and draws attention to the importance of print culture in furthering radical political dialogue between the two nations. As the comprehensive introduction makes clear, this collection makes an important contribution to transatlantic studies and our growing sense of a nineteenth-century modernity shaped by an Atlantic exchange. It is an essential reference point for all interested in the history of the idea of democracy, its political evolution, and its perceived cultural consequences.</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。 9,265円

Studies in Temporal Urbanism The urbanTick Experiment【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book is very much about what the name urbanTick literally says, about the ticking of the urban, the urban as we experience it everyday on the bus, in the park or between buildings. It is about the big orchestrated mass migration of commuters, the seasonal blossoms of the trees along the walkway and the frequency of the stamping rubbish-eater-trucks. It is also, not to forget, about climate, infrastructure, opening hours, term times, parking meters, time tables, growing shadows and moon light. But most of all it is about how all this is experienced by citizens on a daily basis and how they navigate within this complex structure of patterns. The content of this book is based on the content of the urbanTick blog between 2008-2010. One year blogging about this topic brought together a large collection of different aspects and thoughts. It is not at all a conclusive view, the opposite might be the case, it is an exploratory work in progress, while trying to capture as many facets of the topic as possible.</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。 12,154円

Electricity Supply, The British Experiment The intentions were good【電子書籍】[ David Porter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In Britain, most of us take electricity for granted. When there are power cuts, we are shocked by the gloom and the silence and how dependent on electricity we have become. Critics predicted that the privatisation of electricity supply in 1990 would lead to power shortages. Elsewhere in Europe it was sometimes dismissed contemptuously as ‘The British Experiment’. But the plan worked. Private investment flowed and customers reaped the benefits. Then it began to go wrong. Governments wanted more and more say, but their policies were often confusing and sometimes merely vote-catching The confidence of investors was damaged. Power stations closed faster than they were replaced. The risk of power shortages increased. In 1987, David Porter found himself at the centre of the energy supply revolution when he helped to form a new body created to fight for the UK’s independent electricity producers. Soon he was also speaking for the companies that had once been state-owned. Battles were fought and often won, but government intervention grew relentlessly. The ideals of the privatisation were forgotten. Politics, rather than the paying customers, drove the industry.</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。 561円

Democratic Coma The Experiment【電子書籍】[ Virgil Brannon ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For too long, Blacks have held onto the lies their “friends and leaders” have told them … and then wondered why success and the American dream elude them. Sleep no more in this comatose state. Listen to Virgil Brannon as he removes the blinds and exposes the raw truth of who has done the most to keep Blacks “in their place.” And then, as he emphasizes, investigate for yourself. When you do, you will see that: - Abraham Lincoln and his fellow Republicans freed Blacks from slavery. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican fighting against Democrats. - Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent troops into the South to desegregate the schools. - Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act and opposed Dr. King’s march on Washington in 1963. Dig deeper, as Brannon has, and you will see what Democrats have done and what they are planning to do: - President Obama and other Democrats have established relationships with people who want to take away our freedom and destroy America. - Democrats have consistently sponsored legislation that keeps fathers out of Black families. - Policies by the Democrats have destroyed the education system, hurting Blacks more than any other segment of the population. - Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Sr., and other Democratic voices for the Blacks purposely promote racism as a means for their own popularity and power. Democratic Coma sets the record straight, exposing this and more of the damage inflicted by these “friends of the Blacks.” And it offers hope. Success will come to those who drop their cloak of victimhood, realize they have the power and means within them to achieve, and take action to create a life of purpose, love, and integrity.</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。 1,683円

Re-Visioning the Church An Experiment in Systematic-Historical Ecclesiology【電子書籍】[ Neil Ormerod ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>According to longstanding tradition, theology can be thought of as “faith seeking understanding.” Ecclesiology, then, seeks to understand the theological reality we call church. Re-Visioning the Church, the outcome of nearly two decades of research and writing towards constructing a systematic historical ecclesiology, applies a social scientific and historical outlook to the story of the emergence, development, and ongoing mission and ministry of the church. Establishing a critical framework for understanding the structures of the church, the work is a wide-scale exploration of the religious, cultural, and social dimensions of what it means to be the church and what structures and ministries form the fundamental parts of ecclesial life in its relationship to the kingdom. The heart of the project is a detailed account of the history, development, and change across the centuries of the church that takes the story from the apostolic band of witnesses to the dramatic global event of the Second Vatican Council.</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。 6,199円

Eating in the Dark America's Experiment with Genetically Engineered Food【電子書籍】[ Kathleen Hart ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Most Americans eat genetically modified food on a daily basis, but few of us are aware we’re eating something that has been altered. Meanwhile, consumers abroad refuse to buy our engineered crops; their groceries are labeled so that everyone knows if the contents have been modified. What’s going on here? Why does the U.S. government treat engineered foods so differently from the rest of the world?</p> <p><strong>Eating in the Dark</strong> tells the story of how these new foods quietly entered America’s food supply. Kathleen Hart explores biotechnology’s real potential to enhance nutrition and cut farmers’ expenses. She also reveals the process by which American government agencies decided not to label genetically modified food, and not to require biotech companies to perform even basic safety tests on their products. Combining a balanced perspective with a sense of urgency, <strong>Eating in the Dark</strong> is a captivating and important story account of the science and politics propelling the genetic alteration of our food.</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。 2,456円

Aging Moderns Art, Literature, and the Experiment of Later Life【電子書籍】[ Scott Herring ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What happens when the avant-garde grows old? Examining a group of writers and artists who continued the modernist experiment into later life, Scott Herring reveals how their radical artistic principles set out a new path for creative aging.</p> <p><em>Aging Moderns</em> provides portraits of writers and artists who sought out or employed unconventional methods and collaborations up until the early twenty-first century. Herring finds Djuna Barnes performing the principles of high modernism not only in poetry but also in pharmacy orders and grocery lists. In mystery novels featuring Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas along with modernist souvenir collections, the gay writer Samuel Steward elaborated a queer theory of aging and challenged gay male ageism. The Harlem Renaissance dancer Mabel Hampton dispelled stereotypes about aging through her queer of color performances at the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Herring explores Ivan Albright’s magic realist portraits of elders, Tillie Olsen’s writings on the aging female worker, and the surrealistic works made by Charles Henri Ford and his caregiver Indra Bahadur Tamang at the Dakota apartment building in New York City.</p> <p>Showcasing previously unpublished experimental art and writing, this deeply interdisciplinary book unites new modernist studies, American studies, disability studies, and critical age studies. <em>Aging Moderns</em> rethinks assumptions about literary creativity, the depiction of old age, and the boundaries of modernism.</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。 4,296円

Indispensable and Other Myths Why the CEO Pay Experiment Failed and How to Fix It【電子書籍】[ Michael Dorff ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Prodded by economists in the 1970s, corporate directors began adding stock options and bonuses to the already-generous salaries of CEOs with hopes of boosting their companies’ fortunes. Guided by largely unproven assumptions, this trend continues today. So what are companies getting in return for all the extra money? Not much, according to the empirical data.</p> <p>In <em>Indispensable and Other Myths: Why the CEO Pay Experiment Failed and How to Fix It,</em> Michael Dorff explores the consequences of this development. He shows how performance pay has not demonstrably improved corporate performance and offers studies showing that performance pay cannot improve performance on the kind of tasks companies ask of their CEOs. Moreover, CEOs of large established companies do not typically have much impact on their companies’ results. In this eye-opening expos?, Dorff argues that companies should give up on the decades-long experiment to mold compensation into a corporate governance tool and maps out a rationale for returning to the era of guaranteed salaries.</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。 4,710円

Breaking Time's Arrow Experiment and Expression in the Music of Charles Ives【電子書籍】[ Matthew McDonald ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A critical look at the work of and philosophical influences upon the American Modernist composer.</strong></p> <p>Charles Ives (1874?1954) moved traditional compositional practice in new directions by incorporating modern and innovative techniques with nostalgic borrowings of 19th century American popular music and Protestant hymns. Matthew McDonald argues that the influence of Emerson and Thoreau on Ives’s compositional style freed the composer from ordinary ideas of time and chronology, allowing him to recuperate the past as he reached for the musical unknown. McDonald links this concept of the multi-temporal in Ives’s works to Transcendentalist understandings of eternity. His approach to Ives opens new avenues for inquiry into the composer’s eclectic and complex style.</p> <p><strong>“A trenchant and intellectually expansive reading of Ives’s relationship to time by connecting several compositions?and indeed, the composer’s larger conceptualization of the past, present, and future?to the Emersonian concept of the “everlasting Now.” This book is a wonderfully written, important contribution to scholarship on the music of Charles Ives.” ーGayle Sherwood Magee, author of <em>Charles Ives Reconsidered</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“McDonald investigates both the temporal and spatial effects of multidirectional motion, as well as its ramifications for understanding some of the larger philosophical issues that are raised in Ives’s music.” ー<em>Music & Letters</em>, May 2015</strong></p> <p><strong>“McDonald brings together analytic and personal factors to sharpen the image of the composer in convincing ways. . . . This book . . . deserves a close reading. The bibliography provides a select list of scores and recordings as well as articles, books, catalogues, and unpublished commentaries. This book is recommended for college and university libraries and for readers with a music theory background.” ー<em>Music Reference Services Quarterly</em></strong></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。 1,936円

<p>Two unrelated young women coincidently find themselves in similar circumstances; each having an inheritance at stake with a grasping manipulative stepmother holding the purse-strings. Both girls have found an ally in a supportive, if overbearing, ‘aunt’ figure but find themselves lovingly guided into a stifling and increasingly dependent relationship. An advertisement calling for medical research volunteers seems to offer an ideal opportunity for each to temporarily distance herself from her situation. But is all as it seems? Why is the security so tight? Why are there bars on the windows? Why all the petty rules, restrictions and talk of punishment? Volume 1 of this adults-only trilogy uniquely ties together such themes as corporal punishment, bondage, humiliation, medical fetish, mind control, incarceration and others</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。 943円

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank China's Multilateral Experiment【電子書籍】[ Tamar Gutner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 2016 the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) opened its doors as China's first major foray in creating and leading an international organization with global membership. All major donor countries joined, with the exception of the United States and Japan. Today the AIIB is a medium-sized multilateral development bank (MDB) with a global membership second only to that of the World Bank. This book explains the complexity of the AIIB: a liberal international organization designed by a group of state and MDB experts to reflect the existing norms and rules of development banking while, at the same time, it is the creation of an illiberal state that interacts with the existing order in ways that often contradict those norms and rules. Gutner argues that the AIIB is largely cut from the same cloth as other MDBs and faces similar challenges and criticism. However, a growing contradiction between conflicting Chinese institutional strategies risks turning the AIIB into the Potemkin village of China's international development and regional governance strategiesーa showcase of actions that follow global norms of development banking, within a larger landscape of institutions that do not. The book advances our understanding of how institutional diffusion takes place in the system of MDBs and is a reminder of the importance of a nuanced approach to understanding China's institutional strategies.</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。 15,752円

The Stone Soup Experiment Why Cultural Boundaries Persist【電子書籍】[ Deborah Downing ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>The Stone Soup Experiment</em> is a remarkable story of cultural difference, of in-groups, out-groups, and how quickly and strongly the lines between them are drawn. It is also a story about simulation and reality, and how quickly the lines between them can be dismantled. In a compulsively readable account, Deborah Downing Wilson details a ten-week project in which forty university students were split into two different simulated cultures: the carefree Stoners, and the market-driven Traders. Through their eyes we are granted intimate access to the very foundations of human society: how group identities are formed and what happens when opposing ones come into contact.</p> <p>The experience of the Stoners and Traders is a profound testament to human sociality. Even in the form of simulation, even as a game, the participants found themselves quicklyーand with <em>real</em> convictionーbound to the ideologies and practices of their in-group. The Stoners enjoyed their days lounging, chatting, and making crafts, while the Tradersーthrough a complex market of playing cardsーcompeted for the highest bankrolls. When they came into contact, misunderstanding, competition, and even manipulation prevailed, to the point that each group became so convinced of its own superiority that even after the simulation’s end the students could not reconcile.</p> <p>Throughout her riveting narrative, Downing Wilson interweaves fascinating discussions on the importance of play, emotions, and intergroup interaction in the formation and maintenance of group identities, as well as on the dynamic social processes at work when different cultural groups interact. A fascinating account of social experimentation, the book paints a vivid portrait of our deepest social tendencies and the powers they have over how we make friends and enemies 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。 2,376円
