Through a meticulous analysis steeped in historical context, the book navigates the rich tapestry of cultural narratives, examining how these traditions influence contemporary legal systems. Arundell's literary style combines scholarly rigor with compelling narrative, allowing readers to engage deeply with complex concepts while remaining accessible to a wider audience.

Behind the Kitchen Door【電子書籍】[ Saru Jayaraman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Sustainability is about contributing to a society that everybody benefits from, not just going organic because you don't want to die from cancer or have a difficult pregnancy. What is a sustainable restaurant? It's one in which as the restaurant grows, the people grow with it."-from <em>Behind the Kitchen Door</em></p> <p>How do restaurant workers live on some of the lowest wages in America? And how do poor working conditions-discriminatory labor practices, exploitation, and unsanitary kitchens-affect the meals that arrive at our restaurant tables? Saru Jayaraman, who launched the national restaurant workers' organization Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, sets out to answer these questions by following the lives of restaurant workers in New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami, Detroit, and New Orleans.</p> <p>Blending personal narrative and investigative journalism, Jayaraman shows us that the quality of the food that arrives at our restaurant tables depends not only on the sourcing of the ingredients. Our meals benefit from the attention and skill of the people who chop, grill, saut?, and serve. <em>Behind the Kitchen Door</em> is a groundbreaking exploration of the political, economic, and moral implications of dining out. Jayaraman focuses on the stories of individuals, like Daniel, who grew up on a farm in Ecuador and sought to improve the conditions for employees at Del Posto; the treatment of workers behind the scenes belied the high-toned Slow Food ethic on display in the front of the house.</p> <p>Increasingly, Americans are choosing to dine at restaurants that offer organic, fair-trade, and free-range ingredients for reasons of both health and ethics. Yet few of these diners are aware of the working conditions at the restaurants themselves. But whether you eat haute cuisine or fast food, the well-being of restaurant workers is a pressing concern, affecting our health and safety, local economies, and the life of our communities. Highlighting the roles of the 10 million people, many immigrants, many people of color, who bring their passion, tenacity, and vision to the American dining experience, Jayaraman sets out a bold agenda to raise the living standards of the nation's second-largest private sector workforce-and ensure that dining out is a positive experience on both sides of the kitchen door.</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。 1,983円

Destabilization and desertion follow, and her regiment joins the chaotic mass retreat of the Russian army in the summer of 1917.</p> <p>In addition to Dubinskaya’s original novel, this edition includes selections from her 1936 autobiographical work, <em>Machine Gunner</em>, which she rewrote to satisfy Stalinist censors.</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。 3,317円

Satire in the Victorian novel Enriched edition. Unveiling the Satirical Depths of Victorian Fiction【電子書籍】[ Frances Theresa Russell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Satire in the Victorian Novel," Frances Theresa Russell undertakes an incisive exploration of the intricate interplay between satire and social critique in the 19th-century British literary landscape. Through a detailed examination of key works and authors, Russell elucidates how Victorian satire serves not only as entertainment but also as a profound commentary on societal values, politics, and morality. The book's literary style is both accessible and astute, incorporating a rich tapestry of textual analyses and historical context while interweaving thematic discussions on class, gender, and industrialization. As a scholarly contribution, this work positions itself within the broader discourse of literary criticism while offering fresh insights into the era's complex narrative techniques. Frances Theresa Russell, a noted scholar in Victorian literature, draws upon her extensive academic background and personal passions for the period's literary innovation to craft this compelling study. Her previous research and engagements with the cultural contexts of the time provide a solid foundation for her arguments, allowing her to convincingly articulate how Victorian authors employed satire as a means to challenge prevailing norms and expose societal hypocrisies. For readers interested in the fusion of literature and social critique, Russell's book serves as an invaluable resource. It not only deepens the understanding of Victorian novels but also invites contemporary readers to reflect on the enduring relevance of satire in addressing human follies. Engagingly written, "Satire in the Victorian Novel" is both an enlightening academic treatise and a thought-provoking journey through one of literature's most vibrant epochs.

Andal The Autobiography of a Goddess【電子書籍】[ Priya Sarukkai Chabria ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ninth century Tamil poet and founding saint Andal is believed to have been found as a baby underneath a holy basil plant in the temple garden of Srivilliputhur. As a young woman she fell deeply in love with Lord Vishnu, composing fervent poems and songs in his honour and, according to custom, eventually marrying the god himself. <i>The Autobiography of a Goddess</i> is Andal’s entire corpus, composed before her marriage to Vishnu, and it cements her status as the South Indian corollary to Mirabai, the saint and devotee of Sri Krishna. The collection includes <i>Tiruppavai</i>, a song still popular in congregational worship, thirty <i>pasuram</i> (stanzas) sung before Lord Vishnu, and the less-translated, rapturously erotic <i>Nacchiyar Tirumoli</i>.<p>Priya Sarrukai Chabria and Ravi Shankar employ a radical method in this translation, breathing new life into this rich classical and spiritual verse by rendering Andal in a contemporary poetic idiom in English. Many of Andal’s pieces are translated collaboratively; others individually and separately. The two approaches are brought together, presenting a richly layered reading of these much-loved classic Tamil poems and songs.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。 716円

The Botanic Garden by Erasmus Darwin Volume I【電子書籍】[ Adam Komisaruk ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The career of Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) affords an extraordinary glimpse into the intellectual ferment of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Britain. As a popular poet, practicing physician, inventor of speaking machines and mechanical birds, essayer of natural history from geology to meteorology, and proponent of an evolutionary theory that inspired his famous grandson Charles, he left a lasting impression on almost every branch of knowledge. His magnum opus, and the synthesis of his myriad interests, is <em>The Botanic Garden</em> (1792) ー an epic poem that aims to "enlist the Imagination under the banner of Science." Part I, <em>The Economy of Vegetation</em>, sings the praises of British industry as a dance of supernatural creatures while part II, <em>The Loves of the Plants</em>, wittily employs metaphors of human courtship to describe the reproductive cycles of hundreds of flowers. Darwin supplements his accomplished verses with (often much longer) "philosophical notes" that offer his idiosyncratic perspective on the scholarly controversies of the day.</p> <p>Despite a recent surge of academic interest in Darwin, however, no authoritative critical edition of <em>The Botanic Garden</em> exists, presenting a barrier to further scholarship. This two volume set comprises a complete, meticulously transcribed, reading text ー including all the poetry, prose apparatus, and illustrations ー along with extensive commentary that situates Darwin within contemporary debates about the natural sciences. This set will be of interest to readers as the definitive reference edition of <em>The Botanic Garden</em> and due to its efforts to make the work more practically and intellectually accessible to seasoned and novice readers alike*.*</p> <p>The first volume presents a wide ranging and authoritative introduction to <em>The Botanic Garden</em>,detailing the background to the work and the various contexts in which it should be understood. These include: aesthetic theory and practice, the science of the mind, love and sexuality, politics, spirituality, the natural sciences, and evolutionary theory and the two Darwins. The full text of Part I of the <em>The Botanic Garden</em>, <em>The Economy of Vegetation</em>, then follows accompanied by the editors’ annotations, discussion of illustrations and textual notes.</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。 12,269円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book introduces readers to the ethics of philanthropy, particularly in the Indian context. Drawing on JRD Tata’s philosophy and approach to business, it shows how business and philanthropy were intrinsically related for him. JRD Tata was arguably one of the most influential businessmen in post-Independence India. He was instrumental in not only expanding the Tata businesses but was also known for his impact on the conduct of business as well as his support for various national projects including research and education. He introduced key labour laws in his factories, which later became the model for the Indian government. He was also part of government institutions such as Air India.</p> <p>By discussing ideas such as trusteeship, the notion of profit, the relation between public and private, and social welfare, the book offers an intellectual map of JRD’s thoughts and an original perspective on their significance for an ethics of philanthropy in general. It provides new insights into the nature of ethical problems in the Indian context as well as ways to negotiate with them based on JRD’s work and reflections. It further creates a more meaningful understanding of Corporate Social Responsibility in the present global economy.</p> <p>Lucid and comprehensive, this book will be useful to scholars, researchers and faculty in departments of management and business studies, social work, sociology, economics and philosophy, as well as across social sciences.

The Church in the Salvific Plan of God and the Motherhood of the Church in the Writings of Mar Jacob of Sarug A Study on the Ecclesiology of Mar Jacob of Sarug【電子書籍】[ Titus Cheravallil John ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book deals with the ecclesiological themes in the writings of Mar Jacob of Sarug, a West Syrian Church father, who lived in the sixth century. Mar Jacob of Sarug (ca. 451-521) stands next to Ephrem the Syrian as a poet theologian of the West Syrian Church. His writings, especially the metrical homilies, illustrate his imaginative reflections on Bible passages, demonstrating his theological perceptions. This book deals with the ecclesiological themes in Mar Jacob’s writings. The primary sources of this work are the festal homilies of Mar Jacob and his two metrical homilies on the Church, which the author himself has translated.<br /> Mar Jacob narrates his ecclesiological perceptions along with his explanations regarding the salvific acts of Christ. He looks at Christ as the one in whom the symbols find their actualization. The power and the efficacy of the Son is working through the Old Testament types. In the salvific acts, during the earthly journey of the Son, the types of the Old Testament are fully manifested. The Son's journey on the road of humility is symbolically depicted as the betrothal of the Son, the heavenly bridegroom, to His bride, the Church. Mar Jacob perceives the Church's presence in all the progressive moments of revelation, which are fully exhibited in Christ. His fundamental concepts regarding the Church are based on the fact that the Church is an essential part of the revelation of God's salvific plan, which is realized through the Son. He uses the imagery of the Church's motherhood to explain that the Church cannot be rightly considered apart from the divine economy of God, which is divulged through Christ and his work. The Church derives her authority to act from her origin as a work of the divine economy of salvation and exists on earth as a reality that reveals God's saving acts.</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。 14,300円

Ceremonies of the Sarum Missal A Careful Conjecture【電子書籍】[ Mr Richard Urquhart ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>R.J. Urquhart provides the first systematic description of the ceremonial of the Sarum Mass in 500 years. Using a variety of sources, and tracing the Sarum rite and its occasional use from the Act of Supremacy through to modern times, Urquhart has compiled a volume that offers the best possible reconstruction and overview of these profoundly beautiful rites from the liturgical treasury of the Church.</p> <p>Urquhart considers Sarum in the light of Pope Benedict XVI's groundbreaking apostolic constitution, Anglicanorum Coetibus, and how this has reopened the question of the catholicity of part of the Anglican patrimony. He also considers the impact of Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum and its proposition that what was sacred for earlier generations remains sacred now, arguing that this supremely pastoral teaching calls for a more profound and detailed study of the rite.</p> <p>Urquhart covers all aspects of the ritual, beginning with an outline of the vessels, books and vestments and then moving on to outline both Low and High Mass, special forms, processions and blessings, and the ritual year. Appendices cover the role of the laity, and offer an Ordo Missae with simple rubrics.</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。 5,448円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>※この作品は、全て英語で書かれています。<br /> The Komeito(“clean government”)party most certainly plays a vital role in Japanese politics. When contemplating present-day politics and forecasting the future, what the author takes most seriously into consideration are the activities of the Komeito Party and its supporting lay Buddhist organization, the Soka Gakkai. He could go so far as to say that as long as we observe the moves of Komeito and Soka Gakkai, we will understand political trends. His intention in this book is to analyze the party's official history, “The Fifty-year Chronicle of Komeito: With the People” in order to demonstrate the reality that Komeito members, adhering to worthy values, are greatly transforming the destiny of Japan and the world through their work in politics.</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。 660円
