Israel's Ethnogenesis Settlement, Interaction, Expansion and Resistance【電子書籍】[ Avraham Faust ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Winner (for best semi-popular book) of the 2008 Irene Levi-Sala Prize for publications on the archaeology of Israel. The emergence of Israel in Canaan is a central topic in biblical/Syro-Palestinian archaeology. However, the archaeology of ancient Israel has rarely been subject to in-depth anthropological analysis until now. 'Israel's Ethnogenesis' offers an anthropological framework to the archaeological data and textual sources. Examining archaeological finds from thousands of excavations, the book presents a theoretical approach to Israel's ethnogenesis that draws on the work of recent critics. The book examines Israelite ethnicity - ranging from meat consumption, decorated and imported pottery, Israelite houses, circumcision, and hierarchy - and traces the complex ethnic negotiations that accompanied Israel's ethnogenesis. Israel's Ethnogenesis is unique in its contribution to the archaeology of ethnicity, offering an anthropological study that will be of interest to students of history, Israelite culture and religion, and the evolution of ethnic groups.</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。 8,953円

The Rise of the Russian Empire An Epic Tale of Imperial Expansion and Political Intrigue in Russia【電子書籍】[ Saki ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Rise of the Russian Empire," Saki employs a satirical and incisive literary style to explore the complex socio-political landscape of early Russian history. The text unfolds with a series of sharp observations and whimsical narratives that highlight the contradictions of imperial ambition, presenting a vivid tableau of the cultural and political forces that shaped a nation. Saki'??s wit and dark humor serve to underscore themes of power, ambition, and folly, rooting the exploration in the historical context of burgeoning nationalism and the intricate web of European politics during the 18th and 19th centuries. H.H. Munro, known by his pen name Saki, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a politically charged environment in late Victorian England, where debates about imperialism, identity, and culture dominated intellectual discourse. This background imbued him with a keen sense of irony and a unique perspective on the absurdities of human nature, inspiring him to illuminate both the triumphs and tragedies of empires, particularly Russia'??s complex journey towards power and influence. Readers are encouraged to delve into this captivating work that offers not only a historical account but also a rich commentary on the human condition. "The Rise of the Russian Empire" is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the paradoxes of empire and the nuanced interplay between history and narrative, all conveyed through Saki's masterful prose.</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

Well if one is a powerful shapeshifting, genius, rehuman being and the other is from the high gravity world of Torrey 9… well still slim to none.</p> <p>Over three thousand years after the final battle over the soul mankind, between God, Satan, and Nefarious, destroys the earth, a new chapter begins.

Copyright Industries and the Impact of Creative Destruction Copyright Expansion and the Publishing Industry【電子書籍】[ Jiabo Liu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the relationship between the legal extension of copyright duration as an enduring means of copyright protection and the growth of the UK book publishing industry as a typical creative industry reliant on copyright.

The book reviews the historical development of UK copyright expansion and also considers copyright in the digital age. It explores the legal and economic concerns about copyright protection in general, and the expansion of copyright duration in particular. Using an innovative empirical method, it explores whether the expansion of the duration of copyright promotes or precludes the growth of book publishing industry. It goes on to suggest changes to copyright policy which would have an impact on the economics of innovation in the creative industries.</p> <p>This book will be of particular interst to scholars and students of Intellectual Property Law.</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。 11,722円

Social Policy Expansion in Latin America【電子書籍】[ Candelaria Garay ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Throughout the twentieth century, much of the population in Latin America lacked access to social protection. Since the 1990s, however, social policy for millions of outsiders - rural, informal, and unemployed workers and dependents - has been expanded dramatically. Social Policy Expansion in Latin America shows that the critical factors driving expansion are electoral competition for the vote of outsiders and social mobilization for policy change. The balance of partisan power and the involvement of social movements in policy design explain cross-national variation in policy models, in terms of benefit levels, coverage, and civil society participation in implementation. The book draws on in-depth case studies of policy making in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico over several administrations and across three policy areas: health care, pensions, and income support. Secondary case studies illustrate how the theory applies to other developing countries.</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。 5,471円

The Godwynne Mutiny (short story novel expansion)【電子書籍】[ Jerri O'Powell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As the deep sea once gave rise to pirates, so also did deep space . The crew of The Twenty-Wun Stars is one such group of opportunistic souls. This exceptional group of serendipitous scoundrels find themselves under the leadership of Captain Jake Wade. The swaggering mojo at which this man moves thru life is literally infectious. The Captain and the crew travel the galaxy, always on the lookout for their next big score, with pirate booty for all, and to keep the rum taps flowing in the mess hall.</p> <p><strong>The Godwynne Mutiny</strong></p> <p>The crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars would never be the same after they found a couple of stow-aways on board. They were a rather odd match, to be such peas in a pod. He was an average enough mate, a brainy sort, smooth talker, but didn’t seem afraid of a scrap either. Part of that bravery had to be that his lady friend, who was always at his side, was of a rather amazonian stature. She had to be every bit of 300 plus pounds and 6 and a half feet tall. Even more striking, she had a set of breasts that entered the room before she did.</p> <p>In little to no time those two had moved up the social pecking order of the ship. Mister Godwynne had more shade than a little about him. In short order, he had the ear of the Captain. Turns out he had a score under his hat that had the potential to net two billion credits without a shot being fired or so we thought.</p> <p>It was during this operation I witnessed the superhuman strength of Mister Godwynne’s lady, Miss Becka. The ancient earth poets Wu-Tang said it first, but Miss Becka won’t nothin ta fuck wit. The score went sideways, shots were fired and a mutiny ensued.</p> <p>My Name is Uncle Dave, that's what the crew calls me anyway. We are a ship of fortune at best and a pirate ship on our worst days, and this is the tale of the Godwynne Mutiny.</p> <p>Over three thousand years after the final battle over the soul mankind, between God, Satan, and Nefarious, destroys the earth, a new chapter begins. The resulting hyperspace blast from the earth’s destruction flings the last of humanity into the furthest reaches of space on their surviving starships. Over a 300 years passes before these star cast seeds of mankind reclaim the stars, and begin to find each other.

The Great Broadening How the Vast Expansion of the Policymaking Agenda Transformed American Politics【電子書籍】[ Bryan D. Jones ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Beginning in the late 1950s and continuing through the 1970s, the United States experienced a vast expansion in national policy making. During this period, the federal government extended its scope into policy arenas previously left to civil society or state and local governments.</p> <p>With <em>The Great Broadening</em>, Bryan D. Jones, Sean M. Theriault, and Michelle Whyman examine in detail the causes, internal dynamics, and consequences of this extended burst of activity. They argue that the broadening of government responsibilities into new policy areas such as health care, civil rights, and gender issues and the increasing depth of existing government programs explain many of the changes in America politics since the 1970s. Increasing government attention to particular issues was motivated by activist groups. In turn, the beneficiaries of the government policies that resulted became supporters of the government’s activity, leading to the broad acceptance of its role. This broadening and deepening of government, however, produced a reaction as groups critical of its activities organized to resist and roll back its growth.</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。 4,557円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Memoir of the Proposed Territory of Arizona," Sylvester Mowry offers a comprehensive exploration of Arizona's potential as a nascent U.S. territory during the mid-19th century. Written in a vivid yet accessible style, Mowry's memoir intricately weaves together detailed observations of the landscape, its resources, and the social and political climate of the time. The work serves as both an informative account and an impassioned argument for Arizona's admission into the Union, situating itself within the broader context of Manifest Destiny and the expansionist ethos prevalent in American society. Sylvester Mowry, a key figure in Arizona'??s early political landscape, was deeply immersed in the issues surrounding territorial development and governance. His experiences as a resident and advocate for the region provided him with a unique perspective on its challenges and opportunities. Mowry's background, particularly his involvement in promoting the territory's economic potential and political inclusion, deeply informs the narrative's tone and motivation, making it a significant contribution to understanding 19th-century American expansionism. This memoir is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of American history, geography, and politics. Mowry's firsthand account enriches contemporary discussions on territorial governance and is indispensable for anyone interested in the formative years of Arizona and the larger patterns of American territorial expansion.</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 Conquest of a Continent; or, The Expansion of Races in America【電子書籍】[ Madison Grant ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Conquest of a Continent; or, The Expansion of Races in America," Madison Grant presents a provocative examination of the intricate interplay between race, immigration, and societal development in the United States. Grant employs a blend of history, sociology, and eugenics, articulating a vision of American progress defined by competition among racial groups. His literary style is marked by a polemical tone and an underlying urgency, reflective of the early 20th-century discourse on race, as he grapples with notions of superiority, identity, and America's demographic shifts. The book not only serves as a historical treatise but also as an ideological manifesto, seeking to influence public thinking on immigration and race. Grant, an influential American lawyer and conservationist, became deeply engaged with eugenics and racial theories, which significantly shaped the perspectives he articulates in this text. His views were formed against a backdrop of the early 1900s, a period marked by rising nationalism and scientific racism. As a prominent figure in the preservation of natural resources and a staunch advocate of the Anglo-Saxon narrative, his work reflects the broader social anxieties of his time, revealing the intersection of environmental conservation and racial ideology. This book is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of American identity and the historical roots of racial discourse. Readers seeking to understand the darker facets of nationalism and race relations in the U.S. will find Grant's work illuminating, revealing how past ideologies continue to resonate in contemporary society. It challenges us to reflect critically on the implications of racial theories and their influence on policy and public sentiment.</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 Picky Eagle How Democracy and Xenophobia Limited U.S. Territorial Expansion【電子書籍】[ Richard W. Maass ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><strong>The Picky Eagle</strong></em> <strong>explains why the United States stopped annexing territory by focusing on annexation's domestic consequences, both political and normative.</strong> It describes how the US rejection of further annexations, despite its rising power, set the stage for twentieth-century efforts to outlaw conquest. In contrast to conventional accounts of a nineteenth-century shift from territorial expansion to commercial expansion, Richard W. Maass argues that US ambitions were selective from the start.</p> <p>By presenting twenty-three case studies, Maass examines the decision-making of US leaders facing opportunities to pursue annexation between 1775 and 1898. US presidents, secretaries, and congressmen consistently worried about how absorbing new territories would affect their domestic political influence and their goals for their country. These leaders were particularly sensitive to annexation's domestic costs where xenophobia interacted with their commitment to democracy: rather than grant political representation to a large alien population or subject it to a long-term imperial regime, they regularly avoided both of these perceived bad options by rejecting annexation. As a result, US leaders often declined even profitable opportunities for territorial expansion, and they renounced the practice entirely once no desirable targets remained.</p> <p>In addition to offering an updated history of the foundations of US territorial expansion, <em>The Picky Eagle</em> adds important nuance to previous theories of great-power expansion, with implications for our understanding of US foreign policy and international relations.</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。 3,044円

Slave Country American Expansion and the Origins of the Deep South【電子書籍】[ Adam Rothman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Slave Country</em> tells the tragic story of the expansion of slavery in the new United States. In the wake of the American Revolution, slavery gradually disappeared from the northern states and the importation of captive Africans was prohibited. Yet, at the same time, the country's slave population grew, new plantation crops appeared, and several new slave states joined the Union. Adam Rothman explores how slavery flourished in a new nation dedicated to the principle of equality among free men, and reveals the enormous consequences of U.S. expansion into the region that became the Deep South.</p> <p>Rothman maps the combination of transatlantic capitalism and American nationalism that provoked a massive forced migration of slaves into Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. He tells the fascinating story of collaboration and conflict among the diverse European, African, and indigenous peoples who inhabited the Deep South during the Jeffersonian era, and who turned the region into the most dynamic slave system of the Atlantic world. Paying close attention to dramatic episodes of resistance, rebellion, and war, Rothman exposes the terrible violence that haunted the Jeffersonian vision of republican expansion across the American continent.</p> <p><em>Slave Country</em> combines political, economic, military, and social history in an elegant narrative that illuminates the perilous relation between freedom and slavery in the early United States. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in an honest look at America's troubled past.</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。 3,842円

Agricultural Expansion and Tropical Deforestation International Trade, Poverty and Land Use【電子書籍】[ Solon L. Barraclough ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There is no clear-cut causal relationship between international trade, agricultural expansion and tropical deforestation. Academics, policy-makers and the public are all tempted by simplistic solutions to complex problems. In order to establish the true causal factors involved in this critical area of environmental decline, the authors of this study present case studies ranging over three continents. Utilizing statistics, it is shown that the focus of analysis of deforestation must be applied as much to the misguided policies of national and regional authorities as to the forces of trade and globalization. Further, it demonstrates that we must adopt a critical perspective on the historical context of human use of forest areas, looking at issues such as systems of land tenure. The primary aim of the book is to highlight the need to seek solutions in far-reaching institutional and policy reforms adapted to specific socio-economic and ecological contexts, if the problem of tropical deforestation is to be tackled effectively.</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。 4,720円

NATO’s Expansion After the Cold War Geopolitics and Impacts for International Security【電子書籍】[ Jan Eichler ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book analyses the expansion of The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into the post-Soviet space after the end of the Cold War. Based on an extensive analysis of the literature and government documents, including doctrines, statements and speeches by the most influential decision-makers and other actors, it sheds new light on the geopolitical and geostrategic context of the expansion of the military alliance, and assesses its impact on international security relations in Europe.</p> <p>The first chapter introduces readers to the neo-realist approach and develops the methodological basis of the book. The following chapters provide a historical overview of the causes and consequences of two waves of eastward NATO enlargement. Special attention is paid to the annexation of the Crimea and to Russian hybrid-asymmetric warfare. Finally, thirty years after the end of the Cold War, the book notes a disturbing return to militarization in international security relations. To counter this process, the author calls for a reduction of current international tensions and a new policy of d?tente.</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。 14,585円

Our Universe 2: Redshift, Expansion, & Dark Energy【電子書籍】[ Robert Piccioni ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p> This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole.</p> <p> One of the most profound questions in cosmology is: Has our universe existed forever, or did it have a beginning? Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have argued both sides of this debate, for millennia. The first observational evidence came in 1929 when American astronomer Edwin Hubble announced his discovery that the universe was expanding, and therefore had a beginning. This was one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century.</p> <p> This eBook examines the key steps leading to Hubble’s discovery, including the contributions of Henrietta Leavitt and the understanding of supernovae and redshifts, color changes of starlight that reveal motion. We explain what “expansion” means, what is expanding and what isn’t. We then explore the accelerating expansion of our universe and dark energy.</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。 487円

Manifest Destinies America's Westward Expansion and the Road to the Civil War【電子書籍】[ Steven E. Woodworth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A sweeping history of the 1840s, <em>Manifest Destinies</em> captures the enormous sense of possibility that inspired America’s growth and shows how the acquisition of western territories forced the nation to come to grips with the deep fault line that would bring war in the near future.</p> <p>Steven E. Woodworth gives us a portrait of America at its most vibrant and expansive. It was a decade in which the nation significantly enlarged its boundaries, taking Texas, New Mexico, California, and the Pacific Northwest; William Henry Harrison ran the first modern populist campaign, focusing on entertaining voters rather than on discussing issues; prospectors headed west to search for gold; Joseph Smith founded a new religion; railroads and telegraph lines connected the country’s disparate populations as never before.</p> <p>When the 1840s dawned, Americans were feeling optimistic about the future: the population was growing, economic conditions were improving, and peace had reigned for nearly thirty years. A hopeful nation looked to the West, where vast areas of unsettled land seemed to promise prosperity to anyone resourceful enough to take advantage. And yet political tensions roiled below the surface; as the country took on new lands, slavery emerged as an irreconcilable source of disagreement between North and South, and secession reared its head for the first time.</p> <p>Rich in detail and full of dramatic events and fascinating characters, <em>Manifest Destinies</em> is an absorbing and highly entertaining account of a crucial decade that forged a young nation’s character and destiny.</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。 1,064円

The Expansion Project【電子書籍】[ Ben Pester ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Plans for the expansion of the Capmeadow Business Park are in full swing - its mission is to become the greatest business park in the region. Tom Crowley, a mid-level employee, loses his daughter at 'bring your daughter to work day'. He raises the alarm, and his colleagues rush to help him find her. Eventually, after no sign of her is found, it transpires she was never there. And yet, as time goes on, Tom still cannot reconcile that she is really at home. Refusing to accept that she is safe, Tom continues to search for her in the maze of corridors and impossible multi-dimensional spaces that make up his place of work...</p> <p>Because Capmeadow is expanding in unexpected ways, a Liaison Officer becomes the central focus for complaints about how the expansion is impacting the lives of the employees - unexpected buildings, years-long business days, cursed farmers' markets, and corridors of the mind are draining the life from Tom and everyone he works with.</p> <p>Years pass, and Tom remains at the company, convinced he is in the presence of his now adult daughter. But has he judged it correctly? And can anything go back to the way it was??</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。 2,968円
