Social Aesthetics and Moral Judgment Pleasure, Reflection and Accountability【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This edited collection sets forth a new understanding of aesthetic-moral judgment organized around three key concepts: pleasure, reflection, and accountability. The overarching theme is that art is not merely a representation or expression like any other, but that it promotes shared moral understanding and helps us engage in meaning-making. This volume offers an alternative to brain-centric and realist approaches to aesthetics. It features original essays from a number of leading philosophers of art, aesthetics, ethics, and perception, including Elizabeth Burns Coleman, Garrett Cullity, Cynthia A. Freeland, Ivan Gaskell, Paul Guyer, Jane Kneller, Keith Lehrer, Mohan Matthen, Jennifer A. McMahon, Bence Nanay, Nancy Sherman, and Robert Sinnerbrink.</p> <p>Part I of the book analyses the elements of aesthetic experienceーpleasure, preference, and imaginationーwith the individual conceived as part of a particular cultural context and network of other minds. The chapters in Part II explain how it is possible for cultural learning to impact these elements through consensus building, an impulse to objectivity, emotional expression, and reflection. Finally, the chapters in Part III converge on the role of dissonance, difference, and diversity in promoting cultural understanding and advancement.</p> <p>Social Aesthetics and Moral Judgment will appeal to philosophers of art and aesthetics, as well as scholars in other disciplines interested in issues related to art and cultural exchange.</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。 9,188円

Gold Firsthand Accounts from the Rush That Made the West【電子書籍】[ John Richard Stephens ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Gold Rush era was an amazing time in our country’s history. California had just been occupied during the Mexican-American War and wasn’t officially a U.S. territory yet when gold was discovered in 1848. Suddenly the whole world was electrified by the news and tales of men digging vast amounts of wealth out of the ground, even finding gold nuggets just lying around. Within five years, 250,000 miners dug up more than $200 million in goldーabout $600 billion in today’s dollars.</p> <p><em>Gold</em> offers a feel for what it was like to live through the heady days of the discovery and exploitation of gold in California in the mid-1800s through firsthand accounts, short stories, and tall tales written by the people who were there. These eyewitness accounts offer an immediacy that brings the events to 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。 2,075円

British Popular Customs, Present and Past Illustrating the Social and Domestic Manners of the People. Arranged According to the Calendar of the Year【電子書籍】[ T. F. Thiselton-Dyer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "British Popular Customs, Present and Past," T. F. Thiselton-Dyer presents an expansive exploration of the myriad customs that have shaped British cultural identity. Drawing from a thorough examination of folklore, rituals, and traditional practices, Thiselton-Dyer employs a meticulous, scholarly approach that blends ethnography with historical analysis. The book is notable for its rich detail and narrative style, making it accessible to both academics and general readers interested in British history and cultural practices. Through a comprehensive survey of various customs, from seasonal festivities to local superstitions, Thiselton-Dyer contextualizes their significance within the broader tapestry of British societal changes over time. Thiselton-Dyer, a prominent folklorist and writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply immersed in the study of cultural practices. His background in both literature and folklore, alongside his travels across Britain, provided him with a unique lens to capture the dynamics of popular customs. His scholarly curiosity was informed by the rising interest in national identity during a period of significant social change, compelling him to document traditions that were increasingly at risk of being lost. I highly recommend "British Popular Customs, Present and Past" to anyone intrigued by the intersection of culture, history, and folklore. Thiselton-Dyer'??s insightful observations and engaging prose offer a treasure trove of knowledge that enriches our understanding of the enduring traditions that continue to influence contemporary British 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。 150円

Atomic Bomb History: Declassified Account of Return to Nuclear Weapons Testing by U.S. After Test Moratorium 1958-1961 - The Only Detailed Report By Insider of Space, Atmospheric and Underground Tests【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This unusually important and authoritative history report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction - this is not a print replica, and thus it is suitable for all devices. It provides the only official account of major aspects of the American atomic bomb testing program, with technical and political insights into nuclear tests conducted after the test moratorium ended in 1961. The author, Dr. Bill Ogle, a scientist and manager, played a central role in the United States nuclear test program from the first explosion at Alamogordo in 1945 through the time of his death in May 1984. During the critical periods just before and following the moratorium he served as Scientific Deputy to the Military Commanders of the Joint Task Forces that were created to carry out U.S. tests in the Pacific. As Test Division Leader at Los Alamos, he was responsible also for a major part of the underground test program in Nevada.</p> <p>On August 22, 1958, President Eisenhower announced that the United States was ready to begin test ban negotiations on October 31, and to suspend nuclear weapons tests on that date for one year while the negotiations proceeded. The suspension might continue from year to year depending on progress in other areas. A week later Premier Khrushchev agreed to the same date for negotiations, but not to a moratorium. In fact, Soviet testing, in abeyance since March, resumed on September 20 with two very large explosions, and continued until November 3. In compliance with the President's statement, no U.S. tests were conducted after October 30. No further tests then were performed by either nation until the Soviets burst forth with an astonishing 45 shots in 65 days beginning on September 1, 1961. Of these, 14 were above a megaton, and one yielded 63 megatons -- the largest bomb ever fired by any nation. The Soviet program gave every evidence of careful and deliberate preparation.</p> <p>Following the 1958 test suspension, the United States dismantled most of the complex infrastructure required for its own nuclear test programs, both in Nevada and in the Pacific. Almost three years later when President Kennedy found it essential to United States interests to resume testing in response to the Soviet testing, the experience for America's testing community was technically agonizing, operationally painful, and economically very costly. The atmospheric component of test resumption had especially high political obstacles and costs. In this book, which was eight years in preparation, Ogle has provided a detailed description of the events of that period. The book does not argue for or against nuclear testing underground or in the atmosphere. Rather, it presents a comprehensive account of the major difficulties that attended U.S. test resumption in both of those environments after a period of total cessation.</p> <p>Dr. Ogle's book is unique in several respects. It is the only detailed account by an "insider" of United States nuclear testing. The earlier development of testing methods and weapons technology is presented as necessary background for the reader. The author, in addition to accumulating and knowledgeably screening a vast collection of original documents from the period, personally interviewed more than 70 key political, technical, and operational professionals who participated in the events described in the main part of the book. The collection of data and interviews on which this book is based will be preserved intact in the archives of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since many of the original sources are no longer available, this archival material is unique and irreplaceable.</p> <p>CHAPTER I - Premoratorium Internal Readiness Activities * CHAPTER II - Test Moratorium, 1958-1961 * CHAPTER III - Return To Testing - Nevada * CHAPTER IV - Return To Atmospheric Testing - Pacific</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。 1,061円

The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science Exploring the Origins: Bridging Science and Revelation【電子書籍】[ John William Sir Dawson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In his pivotal work, "The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science," John William Sir Dawson explores the intricate relationship between scientific inquiry and theological doctrine. Employing a unique blend of empiricism and biblical exegesis, Dawson navigates the complexities of creation, positing that both revelation and scientific discovery reveal the truth of the universe's origins. His literary style is characterized by eloquent prose and a logically structured argument, making profound connections between contemporary scientific theories, such as geology and biology, with Scripture, thus situating his work within the broader discourse of the 19th-century science-religion dialogue. Dawson, a prominent geologist and a passionate advocate for the reconciliation of faith and science, was influenced by the burgeoning scientific advancements of his time. His deep understanding of geology and unwavering commitment to Christian doctrine led him to scrutinize the perceived conflict between these two realms. As the principal of McGill University and a respected figure in both scientific and theological circles, Dawson's perspectives reflect a harmonious view that seeks to uplift both disciplines, rather than render them antagonistic. This book is highly recommended for readers intrigued by the intersections of science and faith. Dawson's compelling argumentation will not only challenge preconceptions but also encourage thoughtful reflection on how these realms can coexist. It serves as an essential read for scholars, students, and interested laypeople who wish to delve deeper into the ongoing conversation about the origins of life and the universe.</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。 150円

Beyond Accommodation Ethical Feminism, Deconstruction, and the Law【電子書籍】[ Drucilla Cornell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This new edition of Drucilla Cornell's highly acclaimed book includes a substantial new introduction by the author, which situates the book within current feminist debates. In Beyond Accommodation, Drucilla Cornell offers a highly original vision of what feminist theory can give contemporary women. She challenges essentialist and naturalist accounts of feminine sexuality, arguing that any attempt to affirm woman's value and difference by either emphasizing her maternal role or repudiating the feminine only entraps women, once again, in a container that curtails feminine sexual difference, legitimates the masculine fantasy of woman, and reinstates, rather than dismantles, the gender hierarchy. In response to these movements, Beyond Accommodation strives to broaden the scope of feminist theory by articulating a platform, under the concept of relative universalism, which proposes the idea that women are not a unified and homogenous group although they are positioned as women in patriarchy. Cornell's theory allows for differences in women's situations without giving up on the idea that women are fighting a common phenomenon called patriarchy.</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。 5,304円

Singer and Accompanist - The Performance of Fifty Songs【電子書籍】[ Gerald Moore ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The only rule I observed when selecting my fifty songs was that they should be interesting; interesting either for their intrinsic worth or for the problems they pose for the singer or the accompanist or both partners. The reader who is indulgent enough to imagine there is any benefit to be reaped by a study of this book, should dip into it rather than attempt to read it steadily from cover to cover. Let him see which of these songs he possesses and then-after numbering the bars on his score to help him follow me on my wanderings through the song-have his music beside him as he reads. He will thus be in a much better position to laugh with me or at me; to see how unerringly I hit the nail on the head or how lamentable is my aim. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.</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。 1,122円

Yamashita's Ghost War Crimes, MacArthur's Justice, and Command Accountability【電子書籍】[ Allan A. Ryan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"I don't blame my executioners. I will pray God bless them."</p> <p>So said General Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japan's most accomplished military commander, as he stood on the scaffold in Manila in 1946. His stoic dignity typified the man his U.S. Army defense lawyers had come to deeply respect in the first war crimes trial of World War II. Moments later, he was dead. But had justice been served? Allan A. Ryan reopens the case against Yamashita to illuminate crucial questions and controversies that have surrounded his trial and conviction, but also to deepen our understanding of broader contemporary issuesーespecially the limits of command accountability.</p> <p>The atrocities of 1944 and 1945 in the Philippinesーrape, murder, torture, beheadings, and starvation, the victims often women and childrenーwere horrific. They were committed by Japanese troops as General Douglas MacArthur's army tried to recapture the islands. Yamashita commanded Japan's dispersed and besieged Philippine forces in that final year of the war. But the prosecution conceded that he had neither ordered nor committed these crimes. MacArthur charged him, instead, with the crimeーif it was oneーof having "failed to control" his troops, and convened a military commission of five American generals, none of them trained in the law. It was the first prosecution in history of a military commander on such a charge.</p> <p>In a turbulent and disturbing trial marked by disregard of the Army's own rules, the generals delivered the verdict they knew MacArthur wanted. Yamashita's lawyers appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, whose controversial decision upheld the conviction over the passionate dissents of two justices who invoked, for the first time in U.S. legal history, the concept of international human rights.</p> <p>Drawing from the tribunal's transcripts, Ryan vividly chronicles this tragic tale and its personalities. His trenchant analysis of the case's lingering questionーshould a commander be held accountable for the crimes of his troops, even if he has no knowledge of themーhas profound implications for all military commanders.</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。 3,869円

The republic of Cicero Translated from the Latin; and Accompanied With a Critical and Historical Introduction【電子書籍】[ Marcus Tullius Cicero ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Republic of Cicero," the eminent Roman statesman and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero intricately weaves together themes of justice, governance, and the role of the individual within the state. Written in a poignant dialogic style reminiscent of Plato, Cicero's work offers a compelling vision of an ideal republic founded on virtue and moral integrity. The text reflects the turbulent political landscape of late Republican Rome, engaging with contemporary philosophical thought and democratic ideals, while critiquing the decline of civic responsibility among his peers. Through the dialogues of various figures, Cicero articulates his vision of an ethical and balanced governance that prioritizes the common good, making it an essential exploration of political philosophy. Cicero's extensive background as a lawyer, orator, and consul deeply informs his treatise. His experiences navigating the treacherous waters of Roman politics, particularly during periods of civil strife, provide him with a unique perspective on the responsibilities of leadership and the vital role of civic virtue. This interplay of personal conviction and political necessity reveals Cicero'??s desire to offer a guiding framework amidst Rome's chaos, marking him as a pivotal figure in the development of Western political thought. For readers keen on understanding the foundations of modern political theory, "The Republic of Cicero" is indispensable. Its rich narrative and philosophical insights encourage a critical evaluation of contemporary governance and ethics. This work not only stimulates thoughtful discourse but also provides historical insights that resonate with today'??s political landscape, making it a must-read for scholars and lay readers 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。 150円

Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation Chronicles of Early English Christianity: A Detailed Account of Church Establishment and Conversion in Anglo-Saxon England【電子書籍】[ Bede ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation" is a seminal 8th-century work that chronicles the spread of Christianity across England and provides a detailed account of the early Christian Church's formation and evolution. Written in Latin, Bede'??s style combines narrative history with theological reflection, employing a methodical approach that interweaves local stories with broader historical events. His meticulous documentation of the interplay between church and state, along with vivid descriptions of key figures such as St. Augustine and King Oswald, situate this work in the context of both ecclesiastical and secular history, making it invaluable for understanding Anglo-Saxon England'??s cultural landscape. Bede (c. 673-735) was an Anglo-Saxon monk, scholar, and historian, whose profound religious conviction and extensive learning deeply informed his writings. Living in the monastery at Jarrow, he was immersed in scholarly pursuits that encompassed not only theology but also astronomy, poetry, and biblical exegesis. Bede'??s historical insights were shaped significantly by his own experiences within a rapidly transforming society, where the divisions between pagan and Christian beliefs were becoming increasingly pronounced. "Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation" is highly recommended for readers seeking an erudite perspective on early medieval England. Bede'??s narrative not only serves as a key historical text but also offers profound reflections on faith, identity, and the foundational myths of a nation. This work is essential for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of medieval society, or the literary traditions of the English language.</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。 310円

The Glorious Madness ? Tales of the Irish and the Great War First-hand accounts of Irish men and women in the First World War【電子書籍】[ Turtle Bunbury ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From tragic generals to nuns on the run ? the extraordinary stories of the Irish on the frontlines of the First World War that you've never heard before Based on first-hand accounts of the First World War, The Glorious Madness is a collection of character portraits and stirring anecdotes that brings to life the hopes, fears and ambitions that defined the generation of Irish men and women lost to the catastrophe of the first great modern war. From the generals and field commanders through to the troopers and nurses on the front lines, from the trenches of the Somme to the beaches of Gallipoli, the Irish served at every turn in the Great War. Popular historian Turtle Bunbury is renowned for uncovering important forgotten stories from our past. Here he reveals many never-before-heard tales of the Irish heroes and heroines whose lives coincided with one of the most brutal conflicts our world has ever known ? including nuns, artists, sportsmen, poets, aristocrats, nationalists, nurses, clergymen and film directors. From the dramatic story of the nuns of Ypres and their escape to Ireland to found Kylemore Abbey, to the multiple-escapist who became the one-legged nemesis of Michael Collins, and the five tragic, rugby-loving pals from the same Dublin team massacred at Gallipoli, the stories that Turtle Bunbury unearths about Irish men and women offer a new and timely perspective on Irish participation in the Great War. An important book, by turns poignant, enlightening, whimsical and darkly comic, this is history as it should ? free-wheeling and finely tuned to the rhythms of the human heart. Reviews [In The Glorious Madness] Turtle continues the wonderful listening and yarn-spinning he has honed in the Vanishing Ireland series, applying it to veterans of the First World War. The stories he recreates are poignant, whimsical and bleakly funny, bringing back into the light the lives of people who found themselves on the wrong side of history after the struggle for Irish independence. This is my kind of micro-history. John Grenham, The Irish Times A wonderful book packed with great individual stories and pictures which bring the Irish participation in the Great War vividly alive. Sean Farrell, Irish Independent Based on first-hand accounts of the conflict, this collection of character portraits and stirring anecdotes brings to life the hopes, fears and ambitions that defined Ireland's 'lost generation'. Peter Costello, The Irish Catholic Turtle Bunbury's book about the Great War is a great read, a dramatic confection of remarkable stories about remarkable events and individuals slapped together with great dexterity and professionalism. … This is military history as entertainment on a scale we have not seen since, well, the First World War … This is one book that can be judged by its cover. P?draig Yeates, Dublin Review of Books The impressively versatile Turtle Bunbury is known for his sensitively written, well-observed Vanishing Ireland series of books and his appearance on RTE's Genealogy Roadshow. He also toured this year as one of the lecturers in the Great War Roadshow, headed by Myles Dungan. Now, also marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, Bunbury marches into what once would have been a no-man's land for historians. There is much to enjoy here. Bunbury has an eye for irony and pathos and a fluid attractive writing style. It's packed with personalities and stories of courage under fire amid truly unimaginable slaughter, of mind-boggling military incompetence and of individuals emotionally afflicted by reports of courage in another cause at home.

Open Budgets The Political Economy of Transparency, Participation, and Accountability【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Decisions about ""who gets what, when, and how"" are perhaps the most important that any government must make. So it should not be remarkable that around the world, public officials responsible for public budgeting are facing demands-from their own citizenry, other government officials, economic actors, and increasingly from international sources-to make their patterns of spending more transparent and their processes more participatory.<br /> Surprisingly, rigorous analysis of the causes and consequences of fiscal transparency is thin at best. Open Budgets seeks to fill this gap in existing knowledge by answering a few broad questions: How and why do improvements in fiscal transparency and participation come about? How are they sustained over time? When and how do increased fiscal transparency and participation lead to improved government responsiveness and accountability?<br /> Contributors: Steven Friedman (Rhodes University/University of Johannesburg); Jorge Antonio Alves (Queens College, CUNY) and Patrick Heller (Brown University); Jong-sung You (University of California-San Diego) and Wonhee Lee (Hankyung National University); John M. Ackerman (National Autonomous University of Mexico and Mexican Law Review); Aaron Schneider (University of Denver) and Annabella Espa?a-Naj?ra (California State University Fresno); Barak D.
