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

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

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.

The Art of Educational Leadership Balancing Performance and Accountability【電子書籍】[ Fenwick W. English ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>*"English successfully challenges the established educational community to rethink the current state of research on school leadership in the social sciences...The inclusion of theory, discourse, and stories of recognized leaders followed by chapter learning extensions that include key concepts, movie recommendations, and prompted reflective journaling makes this book a most valuable resource for the educational leadership community." ー*H.J. Bultinck, CHOICE</p> <p><em>"<strong>The Art of Educational Leadership</strong> provides one of the most complete examinations of leadership that I have encountered. I admire the way it urges students to think and reflect. The format allows individual learners to focus on those materials that best fit their learning style while the numerous presentations of a single topic through the different modalities strengthens the learning. This text is a fresh, new look at leadership..."</em><br /> ーLouise L MacKay, <em>East</em> <em>Tennessee State University</em></p> <p><em>"Fenwick W. English returns to themes of leadership he explored in more than 20 earlier books and dozens of presentation to educator audiences.

The Providence of God According to the Holy Scriptures【電子書籍】[ Walter Smith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The concept of divine providence has long been a central theme in Christian theology, serving as a lens through which believers interpret the world around them and understand their relationship with God. The idea that God is actively involved in guiding and sustaining the universe, particularly in the lives of His people, resonates deeply within the Judeo-Christian tradition. As such, providence touches upon several key theological concerns, including the nature of God, the problem of human freedom, and the reality of evil and suffering. In this book, we explore the biblical foundation of providence, tracing its development throughout history, its theological significance, and the ways in which it has been understood by prominent authors and theologians.</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。 500円

Atomic City A Firsthand Account by a Son of Los Alamos【電子書籍】[ Terry L Rosen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Atomic City" is a first-hand account of growing up in the dawning of the Atomic Age and at the epicenter of where it all took place. Terry L. Rosen's story is unique because he was not a scientist but a boy growing up, where it all started in Los Alamos, New Mexico.</p> <p>Amid World War II, an assemblage of the best scientists and engineers in the world worked in a secluded part of northern New Mexico on the development of an atomic bomb. They brought to this critical project a concentration of knowledge and skills encompassing many disciplines, unprecedented in history and likely unrepeatable. Against the backdrop of a beautiful mountainous environment, enriched by a mixture of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures and their histories, a modern drama replete with discord, failures, and triumphs-and its significance for history-was enacted with extraordinary dedication and urgency.</p> <p>Terry Rosen tells about his experiences growing up in Los Alamos during the period 1944-64, providing the reader with parallel coming-of-age stories for a youth and a town born within a year of each other. With sensitivity and humor, he brings the reader intimate glimpses of the personalities and accomplishments of several scientists and their colleagues who lived and worked at Los Alamos during that first phase of the community's existence.</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。 1,288円

<p>The accounts of a corporation may be called the history of its financial transactions. A transaction would seem to be capable of but one interpretation, and we should, therefore, be led to expect that a statement prepared from the books would be an exact reflection of the facts of its financial transactions. The business of modern corporate organization is so complex and its transactions are so numerous and so varied, that the facts are sometimes difficult to as certain and frequently are of such a character that they fall under the category of opinions rather than certainties. Since the operations of corporate are continuous, business accounts need reorganization on the basis of sound accounting principles, so that financial statement will reflect an honest position and on the basis of which the auditor will provide and honest opinion on company’s financial position and results of operations.</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。 13,542円

Desistance from Sexual Offending The Role of Circles of Support and Accountability【電子書籍】[ Kelly Richards ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explores how Circles of Support and Accountability can reduce sexual reoffending. The release of a notorious sex offender from prison strikes fear into members of the public. Media coverage often provokes further panic, casting such offenders as irredeemable monsters and ticking time bombs, destined to continue preying on innocent children and women. In the West, governments have responded by enacting heavily punitive and exclusionary policies, such as public sex offender registers, indefinite detention, and lifetime correctional supervision.</p> <p>A radically different approach ? Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) ? emerged alongside these measures. CoSA are groups of trained volunteers who collectively resist the exclusionary impulse, instead actively supporting those with sexual offence convictions to reintegrate into communities. Despite their seemingly counterintuitive nature, the research is clear that CoSA reduce sexual reoffending far better than more popular draconian sex offender management policies. However, little is understood about how CoSA work.</p> <p>This book begins to address this gap by proposing a new way of understanding how CoSA reduce sexual reoffending. Drawing on 65 in-depth interviews with CoSA participants, it offers a new theoretically-informed empirical explanation of CoSA’s capacity to promote desistance from sexual offending, and to turn those convicted of sexual offenders into law-abiding and productive members of the community. Ultimately it is a call to action, demonstrating that we, the community, must play a more central role in integrating people with sexual offence convictions if we desire safer communities for our children and our selves. This work illuminates new directions for research, policy, and practice, and is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of criminology and criminal justice, restorative justice, sexual violence, and reentry</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。 9,028円

These men were there.”<br /> ?MARK BOWDEN (from the Foreword)</p> <p>It started as a mission to capture a Somali warlord. It turned into a disastrous urban firefight and death-defying rescue operation that shocked the world and rattled a great nation. Now the 1993 battle for Mogadishu, Somalia?the incident that was the basis of the book and film <em>Black Hawk Down</em>?is remembered by the men who fought and survived it. Six of the best in our military recall their brutal experiences and brave contributions in these never-before-published, firstperson accounts.</p> <p>“Operation Gothic Serpent,” by Matt Eversmann: As a “chalk” leader, Eversmann was part of the first group of Rangers to “fast rope” from the Black Hawk helicopters.

The Development of Saudi-Iranian Relations since the 1990s Between conflict and accommodation【電子書籍】[ Fahad M. Alsultan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Saudi Arabia and Iran have established themselves as the two regional heavyweights in one of the world’s most tumultuous but critically significant regions. The two countries compete on many fronts, including regional politics, oil prices, and for leadership of the Islamic world, a competition with undeniable repercussions for the Greater Middle East and for the world. Some observers have gone so far as to claim that virtually everything that happens in this area of the world can be viewed as part of the Saudi-Iranian power struggle. With increasing importance of the region as the dominant supplier of world energy and the birthplace of Islamic militant groups, the consequences of not understanding Saudi-Iranian rivalry in the region have never been more serious. A range of internal and external explanatory factors explains the ups and downs of Saudi-Iranian relations since the 1990s. This book captures this complexity by drawing on multicausal explanations through multiple levels of interdisciplinary analysis. This is the first book on the subject that is co-authored by one author from Saudi Arabia and one from Iran. This collaboration allowed the authors to make the best use of Persian and Arabic sources, generating a locally meaningful account of the two countries’ relationship. As Iranian and Saudi nationals, they encountered less difficulty in gaining access to research participants, building rapport and conducting interviews with Iranian and Saudi scholars and informants.</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。 7,415円
