The Cape and the Kaffirs: A Diary of Five Years' Residence in Kaffirland Journey into Kaffirland: An Intimate Exploration of Colonial Life and Cultural Encounters in the Cape Colony【電子書籍】[ Mrs. Ward ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Cape and the Kaffirs: A Diary of Five Years' Residence in Kaffirland," Mrs. Ward offers a vivid and poignant exploration of her observations during a transformative era in South African history. Presented as a diary, the narrative is marked by her perceptive prose and meticulous detail, immersing readers in the rich tapestry of the Xhosa people and the complex socio-political dynamics of the region. Ward's ability to intertwine personal experiences with broader socio-historical themes reflects the Victorian literary style, emphasizing both the exoticism and the harsh realities of colonial encounters. Mrs. Ward, an intrepid traveler and insightful chronicler, was profoundly influenced by her experiences in Africa, which shaped her perspectives on colonialism and indigenous cultures. Her unique position as a female observer in a male-dominated environment allowed her to provide nuanced perspectives on gender roles and intercultural interactions, revealing the intricacies of daily life in Kaffirland and the effects of European expansion. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in colonial history, anthropology, and feminist discourse. Ward's eloquent documentation not only serves as an important historical record but also invites thoughtful reflection on the legacies of colonialism, making it a significant contribution to both literature and the study of South African culture.</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。

A Passion for Leadership Lessons on Change and Reform from Fifty Years of Public Service【電子書籍】[ Robert M. Gates ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From the former secretary of defense and author of the acclaimed #1 best-selling memoir <em>Duty,</em> a characteristically direct, informed, and urgent assessment of why big institutions are failing us and how smart, committed leadership can effect real improvement regardless of scale.</p> <p>Across the realms of civic and private enterprise alike, bureaucracies vitally impact our security, freedoms, and everyday life. With so much at stake, competence, efficiency, and fiscal prudence are essential, yet Americans know these institutions fall short. Many despair that they are too big and too hard to reform.</p> <p>Robert Gates disagrees. Having led change successfully at three monumental organizationsーthe CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defenseーhe offers us the ultimate insider’s look at how major bureaus, organizations, and companies can be transformed, which is by turns heartening and inspiring and always instructive.</p> <p>With practical, nuanced advice on tailoring reform to the operative culture (we see how Gates worked within the system to increase diversity at Texas A&M); effecting change within committees; engaging the power of compromise (“In the real world of bureaucratic institutions, you almost never get all you want when you want it”); and listening and responding to your team, Gates brings the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to civic duty to inspire others to lead desperately needed change.</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 Critical Period of American History Uncovering the Nation's Formative Years with Insightful Analysis and Compelling Narrative【電子書籍】[ John Fiske ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Critical Period of American History," John Fiske presents a meticulous exploration of the formative years of the United States following the American Revolution. Fiske's literary style is characterized by a blend of narrative history and incisive analysis, offering readers both the drama of events and the rigorous examination of political philosophy that defined this tumultuous era. The book situates itself within the broader context of late 19th-century historiography, reflecting Fiske'??s belief in progress and the inevitable triumph of American democracy, while also addressing the challenges posed by factions and regionalism. John Fiske, a prominent historian and philosopher, was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including transcendentalism and the evolving understanding of American identity. His ambivalence toward the political instability of the post-Revolutionary period, combined with his passionate belief in democracy, drove him to illuminate this critical juncture in American history. Fiske'??s works frequently engaged with the philosophical underpinnings of democracy, making this analysis particularly relevant in his oeuvre. This book is recommended for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of American nation-building. Fiske's engaging narrative invites readers to appreciate the precariousness of democratic governance, making this work not only a historical account but also a timeless reflection on the resilience of democracy. For students, scholars, and general readers alike, Fiske'??s insights remain an essential part of the American historical discourse.</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。

Extraordinary Threat The U.S. Empire, the Media, and Twenty Years of Coup Attempts in Venezuela【電子書籍】[ Justin Podur ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The US foreign policy decisions behind six coup attempts against the Venezuelan government ? and Venezuela's heightening precarity</strong></p> <p>In March 2015, President Obama initiated sanctions against Venezuela, declaring a “national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela.” Each year, the US administration has repeated this claim. But, as Joe Emersberger and Justin Podur argue in their timely book, <em>Extraordinary Threat,</em> the opposite is true: It is the US policy of regime change in Venezuela that constitutes an “extraordinary threat” to Venezuelans. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans continue to die because of these ever-tightening US sanctions, denying people daily food, medicine, and fuel. On top of this, Venezuela has, since 2002, been subjected to repeated coup attempts by US-backed forces. In <em>Extraordinary Threat,</em> Emersberger and Podur tell the story of six coup attempts against Venezuela.</p> <p>This book deflates the myths propagated about the Venezuelan government’s purported lack of electoral legitimacy, scant human rights, and disastrous economic development record. Contrary to accounts lobbed by the corporate media, the real target of sustained U.S. assault on Venezuela is not the country’s claimed authoritarianism or its supposed corruption. It is Chavismo, the prospect that twenty-first century socialism could be brought about through electoral and constitutional means. This is what the US empire must not allow to succeed.</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。

Humanly Possible Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking, Inquiry, and Hope【電子書籍】[ Sarah Bakewell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>**The <em>New York Times</em> bestseller ? One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2023 ? A <em>New York Times</em> Notable Book</p> <p>“A book of big and bold ideas, <em>Humanly Possible</em> is humane in approach and, more important, readable and worth reading. . . Bakewell is wide-ranging, witty and compassionate.” ?<em>Wall Street Journal</em></p> <p>“Sweeping . . . linking philosophical reflections with vibrant anecdotes.” ー** <em><strong>The</strong></em> **<em>New York Times</em></p> <p>The bestselling author of <em>How to Live</em> and <em>At the Existentialist Caf?</em> explores seven hundred years of writers, thinkers, scientists, and artists, all seeking to understand what it means to be truly human**</p> <p>Humanism is an expansive tradition of thought that places shared humanity, cultural vibrancy, and moral responsibility at the center of our lives. For centuries, this worldview has inspired people to make their choices by principles of freethinking, intellectual inquiry, fellow feeling, and optimism. In this sweeping new history, Sarah Bakewell, herself a lifelong humanist, illuminates the very personal, individual, and, well, human matter of humanism and takes readers on a grand intellectual adventure.</p> <p>Voyaging from the literary enthusiasts of the fourteenth century to the secular campaigners of our own time, from Voltaire to Zora Neale Hurston, Bakewell brings together extraordinary humanists across history. She explores their immense variety: some sought to promote scientific and rationalist ideas, others put more emphasis on moral living, and still others were concerned with the cultural and literary studies known as “the humanities.” <em>Humanly Possible</em> asks not only what unites all these meanings of humanism but why it has such enduring power, despite opposition from fanatics, mystics, and tyrants. A singular examination of this vital tradition as well as a dazzling contribution to its literature, <em>Humanly Possible</em> serves as a recentering, a call to care for one another, and a reminder that we are all, together, only human.</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。

Coney Island 150 Years of Rides, Fires, Floods, the Rich, the Poor and Finally Robert Moses【電子書籍】[ William J. Phalen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Before the Civil War, Coney Island boasted a beach, a dozen small hotels with ramshackle bathhouses, some chowder stands and a few saloons. After the war, it was taken over by powerful individuals who made its 0.7 square miles a domain of the wealthy. By 1905, with the population of New York City at four million, the city's amusement park builders designed an entertainment wonderland on the island that even the poor could enjoy, creating a "nickel empire," where visitors paid five cents for the subway, five cents for a Nathan's hot dog and five cents for a ride. In 1910, Coney Island saw 20 million visitors--more than Disneyland and Disney World combined could claim 70 years later, adjusted for population growth. Through the decades, the island has seen changes of fortune, floods and fires, cycles of decay and rehabilitation. Yet the ultimate power on the island was and is the government of the city of New York, which--for good or ill--has made Coney Island what it is today.</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。

EU Law and Integration Twenty Years of Judicial Application of EU law【電子書籍】[ Dr Jos? Lu?s Da Cruz Vila?a ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book contains a collection of articles on different aspects of EU law written by one of Europe's most distinguished jurists during the past twenty years, some of which appear here for the first time in English. The book includes a Preface by Judge Koen Lenaerts, Vice-President of the European Court of Justice. The book is divided into five parts, covering EU constitutional law, the EU's judicial architecture, access to justice, European competition law and various other aspects of substantive EU law. In the field of EU constitutional law, the central text discusses the existence of implied material limits to the revision of the Treaties. The author argues that the powers of the Member States to amend the Treaties is limited by the existence of a hard core of principles of EU Treaty law, which cannot be revised without changing the 'constitutional' identity of the Union, leading to the conclusion that Member States can no longer be considered as the 'absolute masters of the Treaties'. Four articles relating to the EU's judicial system constitute the cornerstone of the collection. Drawing on his own experiences, the author examines the problems and challenges facing the setting up of a new EU court and explores different lines of reform of the EU judicial system.</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 Military Sketch-Book: Reminiscences of Seventeen Years in the Service Abroad and at Home (Complete)【電子書籍】[ William Maginn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>I was just turned of nineteen, a well grown and somewhat precocious lad, generally considered by my father and his friends as a shrewd and well-disposed fellow, who was likely one day or other to cut a figure in the army; but, by my mother and her female c?terie, (all above the middle age,) I was set down, nem. con., as an arch wild dog, on whom a little military discipline would be by no means thrown away; for I was a second son, and my mother, although affectionate enough, did not evince towards me that strengthーor, more properly speaking, that weaknessーof maternal fondness which she lavished on my elder brother, (her favourite,) who was specially designed for the pulpit by her and her devout advisers. My own opinion of my disposition was about half-way between that of my father and mother. I never, to my knowledge, did much harm, except occasionally hoaxing our parson and apothecary; or operating a few nocturnal exchanges of signs1 between barbers, pawnbrokers, inn-keepers, and undertakers; or perhaps an occasional shot at a villager's cat. But the best cannot please every body; and even in the case of their own fathers and mothers, young fellows experience different opinions upon their merits. However, this I knewーthat I pleased myself: I was backed by an indulgent father, health, spirits, and plenty of money; so, in military phrase, I may say that I was ready primed for mischief, and did not care a doit for the devil. When I had finished my bottle, and tolerably satisfied myself with repeating over and over the terms of my appointment, in a semi-audible tone, I sallied forth. It was a fine evening in the beginning of July 1809, and town was crammed with military men in mufti. They had, as it seemed to me, even in plain clothes, an air peculiarly striking; and it excited at once my delight and envy to see them stared at by all; but particularly by the ladies, whose glances, to me, from my earliest age, were always bewitching in the extreme. I burned to mingle in the glory, and to share with my now brother-officers, the smiles of the fair; but my sun-burned drab coat, with broad buttons, together with my slouched hat, white Windsor-cord breeches and top-boots, presented an odious barrier to my hopes and desires.</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 Weimar Years Rise and Fall 1918?1933【電子書籍】[ Frank McDonough ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>A <em>DAILY MAIL</em> BOOK OF THE WEEK<br /> A <em>SPECTATOR</em> BOOK OF THE YEAR<br /> A <em>DAILY TELEGRAPH</em> BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023</strong><br /> <strong><em>ASPECTS OF HISTORY</em> BOOKS OF THE YEAR</strong><br /> <strong>A <em>GUARDIAN</em> BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023</strong></p> <p><strong>Established in 1918?19, in the wake of Germany's catastrophic defeat in the First World War and the revolution that followed swiftly on its heels, the Weimar Republic ushered in widespread social reform, a radical cultural flowering and the most democratic conditions the German people had ever known.</strong></p> <p>At its beginning, Weimar held out the hope that democracy, stability and prosperity would take root in Germany, but it was beset by frequent changes of government, waves of economic upheaval and spasms of violence of increasing intensity between the forces of left and right. Agitation and assassination by rightwing nationalists ? enraged by the severity of the Treaty of Versailles and the acceptance of its terms by liberal German politicians ? formed a threatening descant to the conciliatory efforts of successive coalition governments. Ultimately, the instabilities of Weimar would lead to the appointment as German Chancellor of the Nazi Fu¨hrer Adolf Hitler, who created a one-party dictatorship that abandoned the rule of law, democracy and civil rights. In the words of Gustav Stresemann, Germany's Nobel Peace Prize-winning Foreign Minister from 1923 to 1929, Weimar democracy was 'dancing on a volcano'.</p> <p>The Weimar Years is a vivid and compelling narrative of a dramatic period in German history. Year by year, from 1918 to 1933, Frank McDonough covers the major events in both domestic and foreign policy and the personalities who shaped them, together with developments in music, art, theatre and literature. McDonough places particular focus on the parliamentary history of Weimar, arguing that it was the failure of parliamentary democracy to bring stability that eroded public confidence and allowed the power of the elected Reichstag to gradually diminish, culminating in Hitler's accession to power in January 1933.</p> <p>The Weimar Years is the tragic story of a rise and fall, as well as a warning of how, under poor leadership, economic pressure and unrelenting political volatility, a democracy can drift towards a form of authoritarian rule that eventually destroys it.</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 World of Sugar How the Sweet Stuff Transformed Our Politics, Health, and Environment over 2,000 Years【電子書籍】[ Ulbe Bosma ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>“An extraordinary achievement.” ーDavid Edgerton, <em>Literary Review</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“A remarkably researched, comprehensive, and indispensable book for everyone who wishes to understand how sugar and the sugar industry have shaped the world in which we live.” ーGary Taubes, author of <em>The Case Against Sugar</em></strong></p> <p>For most of history, humans did without refined sugar. Then, suddenly, it was everywhere. How did sugar find its way into almost all the food we eat, fostering illness and ecological crisis along the way??</p> <p><em>The World of Sugar</em> begins with the earliest evidence of sugar production, tracing its origins in India around the sixth century BC and showing how its introduction to Europe in the Middle Ages spawned a brutal quest for supply. European cravings were satisfied by enslaved labor; two-thirds of the 12.5 million Africans taken across the Atlantic were destined for sugar plantations. By the twentieth century, sugar was a major source of calories in diets across Europe and North America.?</p> <p>Sugar transformed life on every continent, creating and destroying whole cultures through industrialization, labor migration, and changes in diet. Sugar made fortunes, corrupted governments, and shaped the policies of technocrats. And it provoked freedom cries that rang with world-changing consequences. In Ulbe Bosma’s definitive telling, to understand sugar’s past is to glimpse the origins of our own world of corn syrup and ethanol and begin to see the threat that a not-so-simple commodity poses to our bodies, our environment, and our communities.</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。

Bootleg Murder, Moonshine, and the Lawless Years of Prohibition【電子書籍】[ Karen Blumenthal ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>It began with the best of intentions. Worried about the effects of alcohol on American families, mothers and civic leaders started a movement to outlaw drinking in public places. Over time, their protests, petitions, and activism paid offーwhen a Constitional Amendment banning the sale and consumption of alcohol was ratified, it was hailed as the end of public drunkenness, alcoholism, and a host of other social ills related to booze. Instead, it began a decade of lawlessness, when children smuggled (and drank) illegal alcohol, the most upright citizens casually broke the law, and a host of notorious gangsters entered the public eye. Filled with period art and photographs, anecdotes, and portraits of unique characters from the era, this fascinating book looks at the rise and fall of the disastrous social experiment known as Prohibition. </p><p><i>Bootleg</i> is a 2011 <i>Kirkus</i> Best Teen Books of the Year title. <br>One of <i>School Library Journal</i>'s Best Nonfiction Books of 2011.<br>YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Finalist in 2012.</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。
