The Economic Consequences of the Peace【電子書籍】[ John Maynard Keynes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Economic Consequences of the Peace," John Maynard Keynes meticulously analyzes the economic ramifications of the Treaty of Versailles following World War I. Written in a poignant and incisive prose style, Keynes critiques the punitive reparations imposed on Germany, arguing that such terms would engender economic despair and political instability in Europe. He employs a blend of empirical evidence and theoretical inquiry rooted in classical economics, drawing on contemporary economic thought to forewarn of the dire consequences that would ensue from an imbalanced peace settlement, thus situating his work within the broader intellectual discourse of the time. Keynes, a prominent British economist, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a delegate at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. His growing concerns about the rising tensions in Europe and the potential for future conflict motivated him to advocate for a more equitable economic settlement. This experience, combined with his pioneering theories on macroeconomics and money markets, shaped his prescient views on the critical nexus of economics and international relations. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of economics and politics, as it not only highlights the flawed peace-building strategies of the post-war era but also serves as a compelling warning about the long-term consequences of economic injustice. Readers will find Keynes's arguments both timeless and relevant, thus inviting reflection on contemporary global economic policies.</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 Contamination of the Earth A History of Pollutions in the Industrial Age【電子書籍】[ Francois Jarrige ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The trajectories of pollution in global capitalism, from the toxic waste of early tanneries to the poisonous effects of pesticides in the twentieth century.</strong></p> <p>Through the centuries, the march of economic progress has been accompanied by the spread of industrial pollution. As our capacities for production and our aptitude for consumption have increased, so have their byproductsーchemical contamination from fertilizers and pesticides, diesel emissions, oil spills, a vast “plastic continent” found floating in the ocean. <em>The Contamination of the Earth</em> offers a social and political history of industrial pollution, mapping its trajectories over three centuries, from the toxic wastes of early tanneries to the fossil fuel energy regime of the twentieth century.</p> <p>The authors describe how, from 1750 onward, in contrast to the early modern period, polluted water and air came to be seen as inevitable side effects of industrialization, which was universally regarded as beneficial. By the nineteenth century, pollutants became constituent elements of modernity. The authors trace the evolution of these various pollutions, and describe the ways in which they were simultaneously denounced and permitted. The twentieth century saw new and massive scales of pollution: chemicals that resisted biodegradation, including napalm and other defoliants used as weapons of war; the ascendancy of oil; and a lifestyle defined by consumption. In the 1970s, pollution became a political issue, but effortsーlocal, national, and globalーto regulate it often fell short. Viewing the history of pollution though a political lens, the authors also offer lessons for the future of the industrial world.</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 End of Alzheimer's The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline【電子書籍】[ Dale Bredesen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**The instant <em>New York Times</em> and <em>Wall Street Journal</em> bestseller</p> <p>A groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline.**</p> <p>Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease.</p> <p>In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, <em>The End of Alzheimer’s</em> outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene.</p> <p>The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, <em>The End of Alzheimer’s</em> brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.</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 Errant Art of Moby-Dick The Canon, the Cold War, and the Struggle for American Studies【電子書籍】[ William V. Spanos ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In <em>The Errant Art of</em> Moby-Dick, one of America’s most distinguished critics reexamines Melville’s monumental novel and turns the occasion into a meditation on the history and implications of canon formation. In <em>Moby-Dick</em>ーa work virtually ignored and discredited at the time of its publicationーWilliam V. Spanos uncovers a text remarkably suited as a foundation for a "New Americanist" critique of the ideology based on Puritan origins that was codified in the canon established by "Old Americanist" critics from F. O. Matthiessen to Lionel Trilling. But Spanos also shows, with the novel still as his focus, the limitations of this "New Americanist" discourse and its failure to escape the totalizing imperial perspective it finds in its predecessor.<br /> Combining Heideggerian ontology with a sociopolitical perspective derived primarily from Foucault, the reading of <em>Moby-Dick</em> that forms the center of this book demonstrates that the traditional identification of Melville’s novel as a "romance" renders it complicitous in the discourse of the Cold War. At the same time, Spanos shows how New Americanist criticism overlooks the degree to which <em>Moby-Dick</em> anticipates not only America’s self-representation as the savior of the world against communism, but also the emergent postmodern and anti-imperial discourse deployed against such an image. Spanos’s critique reveals the extraordinary relevance of Melville’s novel as a post-Cold War text, foreshadowing not only the self-destructive end of the historical formation of the American cultural identity in the genocidal assault on Vietnam, but also the reactionary labeling of the current era as "the end of history."<br /> This provocative and challenging study presents not only a new view of the development of literary history in the United States, but a devastating critique of the genealogy of ideology in the American cultural establishment.</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。

Cry of the Eagle Encounters with a Cree Healer【電子書籍】[ Grant Ingram ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>After a vision in which he beheld himself as a leader in the revitalization of native medicine and culture, medicine man Russell WIllier began to share his healing practices and world view with three anthropologists. In this volume they describe how WIllier treats chronic, stress-related condition and physiological dysfunctions with herbal remedies, sweat-lodge therapy, religious ceremony, and other techniques.</p> <p><em>Cry of the Eagle</em> also discusses the process by which the anthropologists experienced the medicine man's work. That process required change in both Willier and his observers. One of the most powerful events in their three-year association occurred when David Young's wife suddenly became critically ill. In the hospital her condition quickly worsened, and doctors were unable to diagnose the problem. Young surreptitiously brought the medicine man to the hospital, where a combination of native remedies and Western medical techniques worked together to restore her health.</p> <p>Young, Ingram, and Swartz describe a process of shared vision and mutual change. They provide a rare insight into an aspect of native culture little known to the outside world.</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。

Eothen Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East【電子書籍】[ Alexander William Kinglake ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>"My favorite travel book. Sparkling, ironic, and terrific fun." ー Jan Morris<br /> Eothen ("From the East") recaptures a bold young Englishman's exploits in the Middle East during the 1830s. Alexander William Kinglake recounts his rambles through the Balkans, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt in a style radically different from other travel books of his era. Rather than dwelling on art or monuments, Kinglake's captivating narrative focuses on the natives and their cities. His adventures ー populated by Bedouins, pashas, slave-traders, monks, pilgrims, and other colorfully drawn personalities ー include crossing the desolate Sinai with a four-camel caravan and a sojourn in plague-ridden Cairo.<br /> A contemporary of Gladstone at Eton and of Tennyson and Thackeray at Cambridge, Kinglake offers a frankly imperialistic worldview. "As I felt so have I written," he declares in his preface, and his forthright expressions of his thoughts and impressions range in mood from confessional, to comic, to serious, to romantic. Victorian readers were captivated by Kinglake's chatty tone and his uncompromising honesty, and two centuries later this remarkable travelogue remains funny, fresh, and original.</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。

<p>An enchanting biography of the most resonant ? and most necessary ? chemical element on Earth.</p> <p>Carbon. It is the building block of every cell that makes up every living thing. It is the essential component of the food we eat, the fuel we burn, the wood we use and the air we breathe.

The Evolution of Beauty How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World - and Us【電子書籍】[ Richard O. Prum ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**A FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE</p> <p>NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY <em>THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW</em>, <em>SMITHSONIAN,</em> AND <em>WALL STREET JOURNAL</em></p> <p>A major reimagining of how evolutionary forces work, revealing how mating preferencesーwhat Darwin termed "the taste for the beautiful"ーcreate the extraordinary range of ornament in the animal world.**</p> <p>In the great halls of science, dogma holds that Darwin's theory of natural selection explains every branch on the tree of life: which species thrive, which wither away to extinction, and what features each evolves. But can adaptation by natural selection really account for everything we see in nature?<br /> Yale University ornithologist Richard Prumーreviving Darwin's own viewsーthinks not. Deep in tropical jungles around the world are birds with a dizzying array of appearances and mating displays: Club-winged Manakins who sing with their wings, Great Argus Pheasants who dazzle prospective mates with a four-foot-wide cone of feathers covered in golden 3D spheres, Red-capped Manakins who moonwalk. In thirty years of fieldwork, Prum has seen numerous display traits that seem disconnected from, if not outright contrary to, selection for individual survival. To explain this, he dusts off Darwin's long-neglected theory of sexual selection in which the act of choosing a mate for purely aesthetic reasonsーfor the mere pleasure of itーis an independent engine of evolutionary change.<br /> Mate choice can drive ornamental traits from the constraints of adaptive evolution, allowing them to grow ever more elaborate. It also sets the stakes for sexual conflict, in which the sexual autonomy of the female evolves in response to male sexual control. Most crucially, this framework provides important insights into the evolution of human sexuality, particularly the ways in which female preferences have changed male bodies, and even maleness itself, through evolutionary time.<br /> <em>The Evolution of Beauty</em> presents a unique scientific vision for how nature's splendor contributes to a more complete understanding of evolution and of ourselves.</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 Effect of External Influences upon Development【電子書籍】[ August Weismann ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Effect of External Influences upon Development," August Weismann presents a groundbreaking exploration of the interplay between environmental factors and biological development. Through a meticulous examination of various species, Weismann employs a scientific yet accessible literary style that bridges both natural history and biology, reflective of the dynamic intellectual debates of the late 19th century. He challenges the predominant Lamarckian views of inheritance by arguing for the primacy of genetic determinants, setting the stage for modern evolutionary thought and emphasizing the importance of separating the effects of nature and nurture in the context of organismal development. August Weismann was a pivotal figure in the history of biology, best known for his germ plasm theory, which fundamentally altered the understanding of heredity and evolution. His rigorous studies in zoology and botany, as well as his interactions with leading contemporaries, such as Charles Darwin, influenced his pursuit to uncover the mechanisms by which external influences shape biological forms. This background equipped Weismann with a critical perspective, propelling him to challenge established norms and seek a deeper understanding of the biological world. This book is an essential read for those interested in evolutionary biology, genetics, and the history of scientific thought. Weismann's insights remain influential today, offering a vital perspective for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of development and inheritance. Scholarly yet approachable, it invites readers to contemplate the profound implications of environmental influences while appreciating the beauty and intricacies of 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>On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014. Following the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, Russia annexed Crimea, and Russian-backed paramilitaries seized part of the Donbas region of south-eastern Ukraine, which consists of Lugansk and Donetsk oblasts, sparking a regional war. In March 2021, Russia began a large military build-up along its border with Ukraine, eventually amassing up to 190,000 troops and their equipment. Despite the build-up, denials of plans to invade or attack Ukraine were issued by various Russian government officials up to the day before the invasion. On 21 February 2022, Russia recognized the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic, two self-proclaimed breakaway quasi-states in the Donbas. The next day, the Federation Council of Russia authorized the use of military force and Russian troops entered both territories. This book tries to shed light on the causes which led to this war. It presents arguments of both sides carried through the words of presidents Putin and Zelenskyy. This edition includes as well the book about the historical background of the conflict and the military actions during the war.
