The Church and the Empire Being an Outline of the History of the Church from A.D. 1003 to A.D. 1304【電子書籍】[ D. J. Medley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Church and the Empire," D. J. Medley meticulously explores the intricate relationship between Christianity and imperial power from the early centuries of the Church to its entwinement with the state. Employing a narrative that deftly combines historical analysis with theological inquiry, Medley critiques the socio-political dynamics that shaped the evolving identity of the Church within the framework of the Roman Empire. His prose reflects a rigorous scholarly style, utilizing a plethora of primary sources and critical perspectives that underscore the tensions between faith and governance in a time of both persecution and privilege. Medley, a noted historian of early Christianity, draws from his extensive research on ecclesiastical history and philosophy to present a nuanced examination of how imperial influence both challenged and transformed Christian doctrine and practice. His academic background, enriched by a keen interest in the sociopolitical implications of religious movements, informs his examination of how the Church navigated the complexities of imperial endorsement and resistance. This book is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of church history, offering profound insights into a foundational period that shaped Western civilization. Medley's compelling narrative not only enlightens readers on the historical contexts but also provokes critical reflection on the ongoing implications of church-state relations in contemporary society.＜/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

The Roman Empire in the Light of Prophecy The Rise, Progress, and End of the Fourth World-empire【電子書籍】[ W.E. Vine ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Roman Empire in the Light of Prophecy," W.E. Vine meticulously examines the intersection of biblical prophecy and historical events, focusing particularly on the significance of the Roman Empire within the prophetic framework of Scripture.

This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in biblical prophecy, history, or the nexus between faith and empirical evidence. Vine's scholarly approach encourages readers to contemplate the enduring relevance of Scripture in understanding historical patterns, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper spiritual and academic exploration of prophetic literature.＜/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

Games of Empire Global Capitalism and Video Games【電子書籍】[ Nick Dyer-Witheford ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the first decade of the twenty-first century, video games are an integral part of global media culture, rivaling Hollywood in revenue and influence. No longer confined to a subculture of adolescent males, video games today are played by adults around the world. At the same time, video games have become major sites of corporate exploitation and military recruitment.＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞Games of Empire＜/em＞, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Greig de Peuter offer a radical political critique of such video games and virtual environments as ＜em＞Second Life, World of Warcraft＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Grand Theft Auto＜/em＞, analyzing them as ＜em＞the＜/em＞ exemplary media of Empire, the twenty-first-century hypercapitalist complex theorized by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. The authors trace the ascent of virtual gaming, assess its impact on creators and players alike, and delineate the relationships between games and reality, body and avatar, screen and street.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Games of Empire＜/em＞ forcefully connects video games to real-world concerns about globalization, militarism, and exploitation, from the horrors of African mines and Indian e-waste sites that underlie the entire industry, the role of labor in commercial game development, and the synergy between military simulation software and the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan exemplified by ＜em＞Full Spectrum Warrior＜/em＞ to the substantial virtual economies surrounding ＜em＞World of Warcraft＜/em＞, the urban neoliberalism made playable in ＜em＞Grand Theft Auto＜/em＞, and the emergence of an alternative game culture through activist games and open-source game development.＜/p＞＜p＞Rejecting both moral panic and glib enthusiasm, ＜em＞Games of Empire＜/em＞ demonstrates how virtual games crystallize the cultural, political, and economic forces of global capital, while also providing a means of resisting them.＜/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。	2,573円
Spirits and Animism in Contemporary Japan The Invisible Empire【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book draws attention to a striking aspect of contemporary Japanese culture: the prevalence of discussions and representations of “spirits” (＜em＞tama＜/em＞ or ＜em＞tamashii＜/em＞). Ancestor cults have played a central role in Japanese culture and religion for many centuries; in recent decades, however, other phenomena have expanded and diversified the realm of Japanese animism. For example, many manga, anime, TV shows, literature, and art works deal with spirits, ghosts, or with an invisible dimension of reality. International contributors ask to what extent these are cultural forms created by the media for consumption, rather than manifestations of “traditional” ancestral spirituality in their adaptations to contemporary society.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Spirits and Animism in Contemporary Japan＜/em＞ considers the modes of representations and the possible cultural meanings of spirits, as well as the metaphysical implications of contemporary Japanese ideas about spirits. The chapters offer analyses of specific cases of “animistic attitudes” in which the presence of spirits and spiritual forces is alleged, and attempt to trace cultural genealogies of those attitudes. In particular, they present various modes of representation of spirits (in contemporary art, architecture, visual culture, cinema, literature, diffuse spirituality) while at the same time addressing their underlying intellectual and religious assumptions.＜/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。	5,544円
The Archaeology of Egyptian Non-Royal Burial Customs in New Kingdom Egypt and Its Empire【電子書籍】[ Wolfram Grajetzki ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This Element provides a new evaluation of burial customs in New Kingdom Egypt, from about 1550 to 1077 BC, with an emphasis on burials of the wider population. It also covers the regions then under Egyptian control: the Southern Levant and the area of Nubia as far as the Fourth Cataract. The inclusion of foreign countries provides insights not only into the interaction between the centre of the empire and its conquered regions, but also concerning what is typically Egyptian and to what extent the conquered regions were culturally influenced. It can be shown that burials in Lower Nubia closely follow those in Egypt. In the southern Levant, by contrast, cemeteries of the period often yield numerous Egyptian objects, but burial customs in general do not follow those in Egypt.＜/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。	2,967円

Beyond Science and Empire Circulation of Knowledge in an Age of Global Empires, 1750?1945【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Through ten case studies by international specialists, this book investigates the circulation and production of scientific knowledge between 1750 and 1945 in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, botany, cartography, medicine, statistics, and zoology.＜/p＞＜p＞In this period, most of the world was under some form of imperial control, while science emerged as a discrete field of activity. What was the relationship between empire and science? Was science just an instrument for imperial domination? While such guiding questions place the book in the tradition of science and empire studies, it offers a fresh perspective in dialogue with global history and circulatory approaches. The book demonstrates, not by theoretical discourse but through detailed historical case studies, that the adoption of a global scale of analysis or an emphasis on circulatory processes does not entail analytical vagueness, diffusionism in disguise, or complacency with imperialism. The chapters show scientific knowledge emerging from the actions of little-known individuals moving across several EmpiresーEuropean, Asian, and South American alikeーin unanticipated places and institutions, and through complex processes of exchange, competition, collaboration, and circulation of knowledge.＜/p＞＜p＞The book will interest scholars and undergraduate and graduate students concerned with the connections between the history of science, imperial history, and global history.＜/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

The Sackler name has adorned the walls of many storied institutionsーHarvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre.

It follows the family’s early success with Valium to the much more potent OxyContin, marketed with a ruthless technique of co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness. ＜em＞Empire of Pain＜/em＞ chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability.＜/p＞＜p＞A masterpiece of narrative reporting, ＜em＞Empire of Pain＜/em＞ is a ferociously compelling portrait of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super-elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed that built one of the world’s great fortunes.＜/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。	2,036円

Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War (Illustrated) The Causes of the War; A Bird's-Eye View of the War; The Turn at the Marne; The Western Front; Behind the Lines; Victory【電子書籍】[ John Buchan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This carefully crafted ebook: "Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "It is never easy to fix upon one cause as the origin of a great war, and the war of 1914 was the outcome of several causes combined. For twenty years there had been growing up in Europe a sense of insecurity; the great Powers had become restless and suspicious of one another . . ." (Excerpt) The British Army during World War I fought the largest and most costly war in its long history. Unlike the French and German Armies, its units were made up exclusively of volunteersーas opposed to conscriptsーat the beginning of the conflict. Furthermore, the British Army was considerably smaller than its French and German counterparts. Yet the army showed exemplary valour and courage on the battlefield. Buchan and Newbolt bring their expert analysis into their overview of the Great War and the reasons for it. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. With the outbreak of the First World War, Buchan worked as a correspondent in France for The Times. Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862?1938) was an English poet, novelist and historian.

Visualising the Empire of Capital【電子書籍】[ Martyn Hudson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Methods of visualising modernity and capitalism have been central to classical social science. Those methods of seeing, specifically in the work of Marx, were attempts to capture visually the fragmenting edifice of capital in its death throes and were part of a project to hasten its demise - yet capitalism persisted and perpetuated itself in new forms, such that its demise now looks less likely than it did 150 years ago. This book argues for a new way of understanding Marx and a new way of approaching both capitalist modernity and Marx’s ＜em＞Capital＜/em＞ by rethinking the nature of vision. Through studies of visualisation in relation to machines and the monstrous, memory, mirrors and optics, and the invisible, ＜em＞Visualising the Empire of Capital＜/em＞ offers a new way of thinking about what capital is and its future. A new reading of - and against - Marx, this volume argues for new forms of sensual utopia while initiating antagonism to the empire of capital itself. As such, it will appeal to social theorists, social anthropologists and sociologists with interests in critical theory, visual culture and aesthetics.＜/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。	9,511円

Byzantium The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire【電子書籍】[ Judith Herrin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For a thousand years an extraordinary empire made possible Europe’s transition to the modern world: Byzantium. An audacious and resilient but now little known society, it combined orthodox Christianity with paganism, classical Greek learning with Roman power, to produce a great and creative civilization which for centuries held in check the armies of Islam.＜/p＞＜p＞Judith Herrin’s concise and compelling book replaces the standard chronological approach of most histories of Byzantium. Instead, each short chapter is focused on a theme, such as a building (the great church of Hagia Sophia), a clash over religion (iconoclasm), sex and power (the role of eunuchs), an outstanding Byzantine individual (the historian Anna Komnene), a symbol of civilization (the fork), a battle for territory (the crusades). In this way she makes accessible and understandable the grand sweeps of Byzantine history, from the founding of its magnificent capital Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in 330, to its fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.＜/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。	1,714円
Rome, Empire of Plunder The Dynamics of Cultural Appropriation【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Bringing together philologists, historians, and archaeologists, Rome, Empire of Plunder bridges disciplinary divides in pursuit of an interdisciplinary understanding of Roman cultural appropriation - approached not as a set of distinct practices but as a hydra-headed phenomenon through which Rome made and remade itself, as a Republic and as an Empire, on Italian soil and abroad. The studies gathered in this volume range from the literary thefts of the first Latin comic poets to the grand-scale spoliation of Egyptian obelisks by a succession of emperors, and from Hispania to Pergamon to Qasr Ibrim. Applying a range of theoretical perspectives on cultural appropriation, contributors probe the violent interactions and chance contingencies that sent cargo of all sorts into circulation around the Roman Mediterranean, causing recurrent distortions in their individual and aggregate meanings. The result is an innovative and nuanced investigation of Roman cultural appropriation and imperial power.＜/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。	5,805円

Provenance and Possession Acquisitions from the Portuguese Empire in Renaissance Italy【電子書籍】[ K. J. P. Lowe ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A thought-provoking study of how knowledge of provenance was not transferred with enslaved people and goods from the Portuguese trading empire to Renaissance Italy＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Renaissance Italy received a bounty of "goods" from Portuguese trading voyagesーfruits of empire that included luxury goods, exotic animals and even enslaved people. Many historians hold that this imperial "opening up" of the world transformed the way Europeans understood the global. In this book, K.J.P. Lowe challenges such an assumption, showing that Italians of this era cared more about the possession than the provenance of their newly acquired global goods. With three detailed case studies involving Florence and Rome, and drawing on unpublished archival material, Lowe documents the myriad occasions on which global knowledge became dissociated from overseas objects, animals and people. Fundamental aspects of these imperial imports, including place of origin and provenance, she shows, failed to survive the voyage and make landfall in Europe. Lowe suggests that there were compelling reasons for not knowing or caring about provenance, and concludes that geographical knowledge, like all knowledge, was often restricted and not valued.＜/p＞＜p＞Examining such documents as ledger entries, journals and public and private correspondence as well as extant objects, and asking previously unasked questions, Lowe meticulously reconstructs the backstories of Portuguese imperial acquisitions, painstakingly supplying the context. She chronicles the phenomenon of mixed-ancestry children at Florence’s foundling hospital; the ownership of inanimate luxury goods, notably those possessed by the Medicis; and the acquisition of enslaved people and animals. How and where goods were acquired, Lowe argues, were of no interest to fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italians; possession was paramount.＜/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。	5,805円
