Operation Desert Storm How Two Young Intelligence Analysts and an Infantry Battalion Changed the War in Iraq【電子書籍】[ Frank Hancock ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Operation Desert Storm reveals how two 101st Airborne intelligence soldiers averted disaster during the Gulf War.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞“During Desert Storm the Air Force and the Armor forces were the thunder but the 101st was the lightning.” General Norman Schwarzkopf, April, 1991. Camp Eagle II, Saudi Arabia＜/p＞＜p＞Operation Desert Storm chronicles perhaps the most incredible story of the Gulf War that has never been told. It describes two young soldiers from the intelligence section of 1-327 Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, Captain Jose Delgado and Sergeant Jesus Gonzalez, who unlocked an intelligence puzzle none of their higher headquarters recognized. This pivotal discovery occurred after the finalization of the 101st Airborne’s plans for attacking into Iraq and altered the direction of Desert Storm.＜/p＞＜p＞1-327 Infantry was also the lead unit of what became the largest air assault (by helicopter) in US history. The 101st Airborne was a unique army division because of the 300+ helicopters in its arsenal. General Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" plan, to use the 101st to air assault deep into Iraq and cut the Euphrates Valley, was the boldest operational maneuver for the US Military since the Inchon landing in Korea in 1950. Schwarzkopf's plan stretched the division’s capabilities to their limits and demonstrated the 101st Airborne’s strengths and weaknesses. CPT Jose Delgado and SGT Jesus Gonzalez discovered the fatal intelligence flaw, an enemy battalion’s bunker-trench complex in 1-327 Infantry’s lead company's landing zone. Their discovery, 48 hours before the air assault, caused the division's plan to be altered, although it was a significant challenge to do so. Without their discovery, the attack was destined for disaster.＜/p＞＜p＞In writing the book, Colonel Frank Hancock, Battalion Commander of 1-327 Infantry, asked soldiers from across the battalion to provide narratives and their recollections of what happened, thereby providing a full view of what occurred and why, from the perspective of soldiers ranging in rank from private to colonel. The book also details the process of how the US Army learned from its experiences in Vietnam, made changes, and became a different, structured, and more lethal army in the post-Vietnam era.＜/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。	1,497円

Postbop Jazz in the 1960s The Compositions of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea【電子書籍】[ Keith Waters ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Innovations in postbop jazz compositions of the 1960s occurred in several dimensions, including harmony, form, and melody. Postbop jazz composers such as Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea broke with earlier tonal jazz traditions. Their compositions marked a departure from the techniques of jazz standards and original compositions that defined small-group repertory through the 1950s: single-key orientation, schematic 32-bar frameworks (in AABA or ABAC forms), and tonal harmonic progressions. The book develops analytical pathways through a number of compositions, including "El Gaucho," "Penelope," "Pinocchio," "Face of the Deep" (Shorter); "King Cobra," "Dolphin Dance," "Jessica" (Hancock); "Windows," "Inner Space," "Song of the Wind" (Corea); as well as "We Speak" (Little); "Punjab" (Henderson); "Beyond All Limits" (Shaw). These case studies offer ways to understand their harmonic syntax, melodic and formal designs, and general principles of harmonic substitution. By locating points of contact among these postbop techniques-and by describing their evolution from previous tonal jazz practices-the book illustrates the syntactic changes that emerged during the 1960s.＜/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。	3,381円

The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences【電子書籍】[ Edward Hitchcock ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Edward Hitchcock's "The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences" is a significant interdisciplinary work that explores the intersection of geology and religious thought during the 19th century. Hitchcock employs a didactic literary style, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and spiritual understanding. His meticulous examination of geological principles alongside theological implications reveals the growing tensions and synergies between emerging scientific paradigms and traditional religious beliefs. The book is set against the backdrop of a rapidly advancing scientific community, grappling with the implications of fossil discoveries and geological time, positioning it within the broader context of the American scientific and religious landscape. Hitchcock, a prominent geologist and theologian, was deeply influenced by his training and faith. As a professor at Amherst College and a geologist commissioned by the state of Massachusetts, he faced the challenge of reconciling his scientific findings with his religious convictions. His dedication to both fields allowed him to articulate a nuanced perspective on how geological discoveries could enrich spiritual understanding, reflecting the intellectual climate of the mid-19th century America. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the delicate balance between science and religion. Hitchcock's insights offer a profound understanding of the historical complexities in the dialogue between faith and empirical study, making it essential reading for scholars of geology, theology, and the history of science.＜/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。	300円

Barbarism and Religion: Volume 5, Religion: The First Triumph【電子書籍】[ J. G. A. Pocock ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This fifth volume in John Pocock's acclaimed sequence on Barbarism and Religion turns to the controversy caused by Edward Gibbon's treatment of the early Christian church. Examining this controversy in unprecedented depth, Pocock challenges the assumption that Gibbon wrote with the intention of destroying belief in the Christian revelation, and questions our understanding of the character of 'enlightenment'. Reconsidering the genesis, inception and reception of these crucial chapters of Decline and Fall, Pocock explores the response of Gibbon's critics, affirming that his reputation as an unbeliever was established before his history of the Church had been written. The magnitude of Barbarism and Religion is already apparent. Religion: The First Triumph will be read not just as a remarkable analysis of the making of Decline and Fall, but also as a comment on the collision of belief and disbelief, a subject as pertinent now as it was to Gibbon's eighteenth-century readers.＜/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。	5,573円
