A Dish of Orts : Chiefly Papers on the Imagination, and on Shakespeare Enriched edition. Essays on Imagination, Creativity, and Shakespearean Interpretation【電子書籍】[ George MacDonald ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "A Dish of Orts: Chiefly Papers on the Imagination, and on Shakespeare," George MacDonald delves into the profound connections between imagination and literature, offering a series of essays that articulate his thoughts on creativity and interpretation. Embracing a lyrical and contemplative literary style, MacDonald employs allegory and metaphor to explore the complexities of Shakespeare's work and the role of imagination in shaping artistic expression. Written during the height of the Victorian era, this collection reflects the rich discourse of its time, juxtaposing Romantic ideals with emerging modernist sensibilities, ultimately inviting readers to engage in a deeper understanding of both literature and the human experience. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pivotal figure in the development of fantasy literature and a precursor to later authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. His diverse theological, literary, and artistic influences shaped his perspectives on creativity and storytelling. His own journeys through faith and imagination provide invaluable insight into his analytical approach, as he strives to illuminate Shakespeare's themes of existence and the divine. "A Dish of Orts" is a must-read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of literature who seek a nuanced appreciation of imagination's role within art. MacDonald's articulate prose and profound insights afford readers an opportunity to engage deeply with the themes of literature and the creative process, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the interplay of imagination and narrative.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Sir Donald Francis Tovey was born in 1875, Donald Francis Tovey was a British musicologist and composer.

This book contains all the articles which Tovey wrote for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, as they now appear there, with the exception of one on 'Modern Music' and the biographies. The book was set up from printed slips, and thus follows the text finally approved and corrected by the author. The very long musical examples are printed in full. In book form, a few minor alterations have been necessary, mostly in the excising of references, and the bringing of the 'printer's style' into line with that of Tovey's other books. An occasional slip in the musical examples has been corrected.</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 Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think In Action【電子書籍】[ Donald A. Schon ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>A leading M.I.T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions -- engineering, architecture, management, psychotherapy, and town planning -- to show how professionals really go about solving problems. The best professionals, Donald Schon maintains, know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work, they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated, largely unexamined process is the subject of Schon's provocatively original book, an effort to show precisely how "reflection-in-action" works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals.</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。

An Account of the Diseases which were most frequent in the British military hospitals in Germany Unveiling the Epidemic: Insights into British Military Healthcare in 18th Century Germany【電子書籍】[ Donald Monro ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "An Account of the Diseases which were most frequent in the British military hospitals in Germany," Donald Monro provides a meticulous examination of the medical conditions afflicting British soldiers during the early 18th century. Drawing upon his experiences as an army surgeon, Monro employs a systematic approach that combines clinical observations with medical statistics, reflecting the burgeoning emphasis on empirical evidence prevalent in Enlightenment thought. Written in a clear and accessible style, the work serves not only as a medical treatise but also as a historical document that captures the public health challenges faced by military institutions of the time, offering insights into the intersection of medicine and military logistics. Donald Monro, a prominent figure in 18th-century medicine, became an army surgeon following his education at Edinburgh University. His firsthand experience treating soldiers during campaigns in the War of Austrian Succession informed his acute awareness of the public health crises within military settings. Monro's dedication to improving army medical care, combined with the intellectual influences of his time, catalyzed his desire to document and address these alarming health concerns systematically. This book is highly recommended for historians and medical professionals alike, as it provides invaluable context for understanding the evolution of military medicine and public health practices. Monro's insights remain relevant, shedding light on the transformation of medical care in wartime settings, making it a crucial read for anyone interested in the interplay between military history and healthcare.</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。

An Environmental History of the World Humankind's Changing Role in the Community of Life【電子書籍】[ J. Donald Hughes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This second edition of <em>An Environmental History of the World</em> continues to present a concise history, from ancient to modern times, of the interactions between human societies and the natural environment, including the other forms of life that inhabit our planet. Throughout their evolutionary history, humans have affected the natural environment, sometimes with a promise of sustainable balance, but also in a destructive manner. This book investigates the ways in which environmental changes, often the result of human actions, have caused historical trends in human societies. This process has happened in every historical period and in every part of the inhabited earth.</p> <p>The book is organized into ten chapters. The main chapters follow a chronological path through the history of mankind, in relationship to ecosystems around the world. The first explains what environmental history is, and argues for its importance in understanding the present state of the world's ecological problems. Chapters two through eight form the core of the historical analysis, each concentrating on a major period of human history (pre-civilized, early civilizations, classical, medieval, early modern, early and later twentieth century, and contemporary) that has been characterized by large-scale changes in the relationship between human societies and the biosphere, and each gives several case studies that illustrate significant patterns occurring at that time. The chapters covering contemporary times discuss the physical impacts of the huge growth in population and technology, and the human responses to these problems. Our moral obligations to nature and how we can achieve a sustainable balance between technology and the environment are also considered. This revised second edition takes account of new research and the course of history containing new sections on global warming, the response of New Orleans to the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the experience of the Dutch people in protecting their low-lying lands against the encroachments of rivers, lakes, and the North Sea. New material is also offered on the Pacific Islands, including the famous case of Easter Island.</p> <p>This is an original work that reaches further than other environmental histories. Rather than looking at humans and the environment as separate entities, this book places humans within the community of life. The relationship between environmental thought and actions, and their evolution, is discussed throughout. Little environmental or historical knowledge is assumed from the reader in this introduction to environmental history. We cannot reach a useful understanding of modern environmental problems without the aid of perspective provided by environmental history, with its illustrations of the ways in which past decisions helped or hindered the interaction between nature and culture. This book will be influential and timely to all interested in or researching the world in which we live.</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。

Plato's Mythoi The Political Soul's Drama Beyond【電子書籍】[ Donald H. Roy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Recently, in the past thirty years, there has been an upsurge in serious treatment of Platonic mythoi, which were once thought to be only literary decoration and/or the simplistic presentation of philosophic conclusions for the demos (dummies in effect). Nevertheless, the dominant tendency in the exegesis of Platonic mythoi still is to subordinate them to philosophic logos (reason) and not to recognize that such mythoi are philosophic in themselves in the broad sense of “the love of wisdom”. There is something conversional about Plato’s philosophic mythos, reformulating and superseding traditional Greek mythos and then charting the drama of the human soul from Socratic aporia, up and out of the cave, and into the beyond, the Idea of the Good. The late Professor Eric Voegelin understood this existential drama, and his exegesis of Platonic mythos, from engendering pathos to symbols, is revelatory to say the least. My understanding is that logos (reason) is a fundamental and necessary check on mythos, but logos and mythos are complementary via medias; neither are dispensable nor reducible, one to the other. Also crucial to my study of Platonic mythoi is the “analogy of being,” that Voegelin only touches on, but Erich Przywara explores and develops. The relationship between the human and the divine is analogical (likenesses but also significant unlikenesses), and Plato certainly explored the play of opposites and affinities covering the difficult philosophical problems of becoming and being and the temporal and the eternal. Most philosophic commentators on Plato ignore the suffusive presence of the divine in Plato’s love of wisdom. Perhaps only Platonic mythos at its best offers the philosophic imagination the vision of transcendence.</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 Second Cold War Carter, Reagan, and the Politics of Foreign Policy【電子書籍】[ Aaron Donaghy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Towards the end of the Cold War, the last great struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union marked the end of d?tente, and escalated into the most dangerous phase of the conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Aaron Donaghy examines the complex history of America's largest peacetime military buildup, which was in turn challenged by the largest peacetime peace movement. Focusing on the critical period between 1977 and 1985, Donaghy shows how domestic politics shaped dramatic foreign policy reversals by Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. He explains why the Cold War intensified so quickly and how - contrary to all expectations - US-Soviet relations were repaired. Drawing on recently declassified archival material, The Second Cold War traces how each administration evolved in response to crises and events at home and abroad. This compelling and controversial account challenges the accepted notion of how the end of the Cold War began.</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 Forests of Michigan, Revised Ed.【電子書籍】[ Donald I. Dickmann ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Completely revised and updated, this new edition of <em>The Forests of Michigan</em> takes a comprehensive look at the natural history, ecology, management, economic importance, and use of the rich and varied forests that cover about half of Michigan's 36.3 million acres. The book explores how the forests regrew after the great Wisconsin glacier began to recede over 12,000 years ago, and how they recovered from the onslaught of unrestrained logging and wildfire that, beginning in the mid-1800s, virtually wiped them out. The emphasis of the book is on long-term efforts to sustain the state’s forests, with a view of sustainability that builds not only upon the lessons learned from native peoples' attitude and use of trees, but also on the latest scientific principles of forest ecology and management. Generously illustrated and written in an engaging style, <em>The Forests of Michigan</em> sees the forest and the trees, offering both education and delight.</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 McDonaldization of Society Into the Digital Age【電子書籍】[ George Ritzer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em><strong>Recipient of a 2021 McGuffey Longevity Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA)</strong></em></p> <p>The book that made "McDonaldization" part of the lexicon of contemporary sociological theory, read by hundreds of thousands of students, is now in its <strong>Tenth Edition</strong>. George Ritzer′s seminal work of critical sociology, <strong>The McDonaldization of Society</strong>, continues to stand as one of the pillars of modern sociological thought. Building on the argument that the fast food restaurant has become the model for the rationalization process today, this book links theory to contemporary life in a globalized world. Ritzer opens our eyes to many current issues and shows how McDonaldization’s principlesーefficiency, calculability, predictability, and controlーhave been applied to other sectors of American society and throughout the world. This new edition continues to shift its focus to how we experience McDonaldization online, the new locus of production and consumption in the digital age.</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 Relational Subject【電子書籍】[ Pierpaolo Donati ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Many social theorists now call themselves 'relational sociologists', but mean entirely different things by it. The majority endorse a 'flat ontology', dealing exclusively with dyadic relations. Consequently, they cannot explain the context in which relationships occur or their consequences, except as resultants of endless 'transactions'. This book adopts a different approach which regards 'the relation' itself as an emergent property, with internal causal effects upon its participants and external ones on others. The authors argue that most 'relationists' seem unaware that analytical philosophers, such as Searle, Gilbert and Tuomela, have spent years trying to conceptualize the 'We' as dependent upon shared intentionality. Donati and Archer change the focus away from 'We thinking' and argue that 'We-ness' derives from subjects' reflexive orientations towards the emergent relational 'goods' and 'evils' they themselves generate. Their approach could be called 'relational realism', though they suggest that realists, too, have failed to explore the 'relational subject'.</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。
