Places of Last Resort The Expansion of the Farm Frontier into the Boreal Forest in Canada, c. 1910-1940【電子書籍】[ J. David Wood ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Northerly locations were desperately sought out after more accessible land further south was taken up. Wood identifies the demographic characteristics of the surging population of land-seekers, showing how some aspects echoed those of earlier settlers. The northern settlers of the interwar years grappled with demanding conditions, which required new adaptations. They were supported in their efforts by politicians, bureaucrats, and religious leaders who had less than innocent reasons for endorsing what were questionable settlement experiments in unopened or abandoned areas. The book includes a series of gripping case studies to illustrate both the face of failure and what appear to have been the ingredients for success in marginal areas.</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。 4,480円

The Last American Frontier (Summarized Edition) Enriched edition. A Pulitzer Prize historian's view of Western expansion, Native nations, and the conflicts that transformed the American West【電子書籍】[ Frederic L. Paxson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Last American Frontier charts the transformation of the trans-Mississippi West from contested borderlands to an integrated national region. In lucid prose, Paxson follows gold rushes, the cattle kingdom, homesteading, railroads, and army posts, interweaving land policy, speculative capital, and aridity to explain settlement's tempo and violence. Written under the sway of the Turner thesis, it fuses social, political, and economic history into an interpretive arc. Frederic L. Paxson, a leading historian of the American West and student of Frederick Jackson Turner, brought Progressive-era concerns with institutions, markets, and democracy to frontier studies. Trained at Wisconsin and a Pulitzer Prize?winning scholar, he mined government reports, travel narratives, and newspapers. His focus on transportation networks and federal policy foregrounds railroads, land laws, and the army as engines of incorporation and conflict. Readers seeking a foundational synthesis of the West's nineteenth century will find this study indispensable. Pair it with recent Indigenous-centered scholarship to balance perspectives, and trace how policy, environment, and capital converged on plains and mountains. Clear and integrative, The Last American Frontier rewards students and general readers who want to see how an earlier generation framed the closing of the frontierーand why that framing endures. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readableーdistilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction ・ Synopsis ・ Historical Context ・ Brief Analysis ・ 4 Reflection Q&As ・ Editorial Footnotes.</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

Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America - Michael John Witgen (Omohundro Institute and UNC Press) 【紙書籍】 9781469677774

Roundabout Books
タイトル: Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America著者: Michael John Witgen出版社: Omohundro Institute and UNC Press出版日: 2023年08月01日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, retaining thousands of acres of their homeland in what is now Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Their success rested partly on their roles as sellers of natural resources and buyers of trade goods, which made them key players in the political economy of plunder that drove white settlement and U.S. development in the Old Northwest. But, as Michael Witgen demonstrates, the credit for Native persistence rested with the Anishinaabeg themselves. Outnumbering white settlers well into the nineteenth century, they leveraged their political savvy to advance a dual citizenship that enabled mixed-race tribal members to lay claim to a place in U.S. civil society. Telling the stories of mixed-race traders and missionaries, tribal leaders and territorial governors, Witgen challenges our assumptions about the inevitability of U.S. expansion. Deeply researched and passionately written, Seeing Red will command attention from readers who are invested in the enduring issues of equality, equity, and national belonging at its core. 6,303円

The Expansion of Orthodox Europe Byzantium, the Balkans and Russia【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume aims to clarify the context for the expansion of Western Europe by focusing on what had been the greatest power in early medieval Europe, the Byzantine empire, and on the continuing strengths and expansion of the Orthodox world. Byzantine 'orthodoxy' offered a format for faith, hope and fear in various combinations, involving religious beliefs and an idealised world-order. Its multifaceted nature helps explain Byzantium's success - the resilience of the earthly empire and the appeal of its religious organisation and rites to other societies. The volume reprints a set of key studies, combining classic treatments of Byzantine and Slavic history with far-reaching explorations of the extent of those worlds. Part I focuses on the empire in its heyday: some studies illustrate the sense of manifest destiny bolstering the imperial order until - and even beyond - Constantinople's fall to the fourth crusaders in 1204. The spread of the Byzantines' cult enlarged their trading zone northwards across Rus, while Byzantine-based merchants were more active than is generally realised in the Eastern Mediterranean. Part II includes an overview of the 'fragmentation' following 1204. Studies show how Byzantine rites and ideals of rulership were adopted by Serb and Bulgarian dynasts. Particular attention is paid to Rus: although subjugated by the Mongols, Rus churchmen, monks and leading princes all drew on Byzantine religious texts and imagery. From the later fifteenth century Moscow's rulers began to be portrayed as new guardians of religious correctness, even as the World's End supposedly drew nigh. The Introduction contextualises the studies included here, highlighting the significance (and not just in terms of rivalry) of the Byzantine Orthodox world for developments in Western Europe.</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。 11,606円

The American YMCA and Russian Culture The Preservation and Expansion of Orthodox Christianity, 1900?1940【電子書籍】[ Professor Matthew Lee Miller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>The American YMCA and Russian Culture</em>, Matthew Lee Miller explores the impact of the philanthropic activities of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) on Russians during the late imperial and early Soviet periods. The YMCA, the largest American service organization, initiated its intense engagement with Russians in 1900. During the First World War, the Association organized assistance for prisoners of war, and after the emigration of many Russians to central and western Europe, founded the YMCA Press and supported the St. Sergius Theological Academy in Paris. Miller demonstrates that the YMCA contributed to the preservation, expansion, and enrichment of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It therefore played a major role in preserving an important part of pre-revolutionary Russian culture in Western Europe during the Soviet period until the repatriation of this culture following the collapse of the USSR. The research is based on the YMCA’s archival records, Moscow and Paris archives, and memoirs of both Russian and American participants. This is the first comprehensive discussion of an extraordinary period of interaction between American and Russian cultures. It also presents a rare example of fruitful interconfessional cooperation by Protestant and Orthodox Christians.</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。 7,583円

Death of the Territories Expansion, Betrayal and the War that Changed Pro Wrestling Forever【電子書籍】[ Tim Hornbaker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For decades, distinct professional wrestling territories thrived across North America. Each regionally based promotion operated individually and offered a brand of localized wrestling that greatly appealed to area fans. Promoters routinely coordinated with associates in surrounding regions, and the cooperation displayed by members of the National Wrestling Alliance made it easy for wrestlers to traverse the landscape with the utmost freedom.</p> <p>Dozens of territories flourished between the 1950s and late ’70s. But by the early 1980s, the growth of cable television had put new outside pressures on promoters. An enterprising third-generation entrepreneur who believed cable was his opportunity to take his promotion national soon capitalized on the situation.</p> <p>A host of novel ideas and the will to take chances gave Vincent Kennedy McMahon an incredible advantage. McMahon waged war on the territories and raided the NWA and AWA of their top talent. By creating <em>WrestleMania</em>, jumping into the pay-per-view field, and expanding across North America, McMahon changed professional wrestling forever.</p> <p>Providing never-before-revealed information, <em>Death of the Territories</em> is a must-read for fans yearning to understand how McMahon outlasted his rivals and established the industry’s first national promotion. At the same time, it offers a comprehensive look at the promoters who opposed McMahon, focusing on their noteworthy power plays and embarrassing mistakes.</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。 1,856円

Territorial Expansion and Great Power Behavior During the Cold War A Theory of Armed Emergence【電子書籍】[ Dylan Motin ]

<p>Motin examines great powers’ reactions to the rise of new powers in bipolar international systems by exploring an understudied problem: the rarity of armed emergence after 1945.</p> <p>The book focuses on Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Vietnam; the few minor powers that attempted to emerge as great powers through force during the Cold War. Geography and existing powers’ reactions are analyzed as the two key factors determining a nation’s attempts at territorial expansion to achieve power on the global political stage. This systematic investigation of previously overlooked cases has profound implications for the scholarship on the rise and fall of great powers.</p> <p>In a context where territorial conquest is returning worldwide, scholars studying international relations, international security, and strategic studies should find valuable insights in this realist take.</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。 10,280円

Second State of the Union Address Enriched edition. A Presidential Address on Slavery, Expansion, and Unity in America's History【電子書籍】[ James Buchanan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In his 1791 Second State of the Union Address, James Buchanan presents a reflective and compelling discourse on the state of the burgeoning nation. This address is notable for its blending of political foresight and philosophical reasoning, delivered in a style that is both eloquent and authoritative. Buchanan deftly navigates the concerns of the time, from economic challenges to the delicate balance of state and federal power, articulating the aspirations and anxieties of a country in the midst of defining itself. His arguments resonate deeply within the context of late 18th-century American governance, offering insights into the foundational principles that were being debated as the nation sought its identity. James Buchanan, a significant political figure, was acutely aware of the complexities and contradictions of American democracy. Born into a tumultuous political landscape, Buchanan's life experiences, including his roles as a lawyer, congressman, and diplomat, informed his reflections in this address. This proximity to the evolving American political scene helped him articulate the concerns of both the federal government and common citizens, and expose the emerging ideological tensions of his time. This work is essential for readers interested in American history, political philosophy, or the evolution of democratic governance. Buchanan's thoughtful examination provides invaluable context for contemporary discussions about the role of government and civic responsibility, making this address a critical piece of historical literature that continues to engage scholars and casual readers alike.

The School of Oriental and African Studies Imperial Training and the Expansion of Learning【電子書籍】[ Ian Brown ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The School of Oriental and African Studies, a college of the University of London, was established in 1916 principally to train the colonial administrators who ran the British Empire in the languages of Asia and Africa. It was founded, that is, with an explicitly imperial purpose. Yet the School would come to transcend this function to become a world centre of scholarship and learning, in many important ways challenging that imperial origin. Drawing on the School's own extensive administrative records, on interviews with current and past staff, and on the records of government departments, Ian Brown explores the work of the School over its first century. He considers the expansion in the School's configuration of studies from the initial focus on languages, its changing relationships with government, and the major contributions that have been made by the School to scholarly and public understandings of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.</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。 15,521円

Mapping an Empire of American Sport Expansion, Assimilation, Adaptation and Resistance【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since the mid-nineteenth century, the United States has used sport as a vehicle for spreading its influence and extending its power, especially in the Western Hemisphere and around the Pacific Rim, but also in every corner of the rest of the world. Through modern sport in general, and through American pastimes such as baseball, basketball and the American variant of football in particular, the U.S. has sought to Americanize the globe’s masses in a long series of both domestic and foreign campaigns. Sport played roles in American programs of cultural, economic, and political expansion. Sport also contributed to American efforts to assimilate immigrant populations. Even in American games such as baseball and football, sport has also served as an agent of resistance to American imperial designs among the nations of the Western hemisphere and the Pacific Rim. As the twenty-first century begins, sport continues to shape American visions of a global empire as well as framing resistance to American imperial designs.</p> <p>Mapping an Empire of American Sport chronicles the dynamic tensions in the role of sport as an element in both the expansion of and the resistance to American power, and in sport’s dual role as an instrument for assimilation and adaptation.</p> <p>This book was published as a special issue of the <em>International Journal of the History of Sport</em>.</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。 10,280円

The Winning of the West: A History of the American Frontiers (Summarized Edition) Enriched edition. Frontiersmen, the Revolutionary War, and Westward Expansion across Early America【電子書籍】[ Theodore Roosevelt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Winning of the West chronicles the trans-Appalachian expansion from the Revolution through the early republic, following settlement, treaty-making, and border war in Kentucky, the Ohio Valley, and the Old Southwest. Roosevelt blends state papers and pioneer memoirs with taut, martial prose. Composed in the Gilded Age, it exalts backwoods democracy and militia valor while advancing a distinctly racialized, imperial vision of national destiny. Roosevelt writes as a ranchman, amateur historian, and rising politician whose Badlands years and earlier Naval War of 1812 sharpened his archival habits and creed of the "strenuous life." Western travel, administrative reform, and nationalism shaped his admiration for frontier civic toughness; equally, contemporary evolutionary and Anglo-Saxonist assumptions inform his judgments, making the book a revealing artifact of Gilded-Age statecraft. Recommended for students of American political, military, and borderlands history, this work remains indispensable for its synthesis and documentary reach. Read it for its narrative drive and legislative minutiae, but approach criticallyーpaired with Indigenous and transnational scholarshipーto balance its exclusions and to test its claims about democracy, violence, and nation-building on the early American frontier. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readableーdistilled, never diluted.

History of the Phoenician Civilization (Summarized Edition) Enriched edition. Ancient Mediterranean maritime trade, Phoenician culture, merchant empire, colonial expansion and cultural exchange【電子書籍】[ George Rawlinson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>History of the Phoenician Civilization follows the Levantine seafarers from the city-states of Tyre and Sidon to the Punic world, charting trade, colonization, and the spread of the alphabet. Drawing on Greek and Roman writers, biblical notices, inscriptions, and coinage, Rawlinson reconstructs institutions, cult, and material lifeーpurple dye, cedar commerce, and navigation. In lucid Victorian prose with orderly chapters and ample notes, he marries classical narrative to emergent epigraphy and archaeology, correcting myths with cautious synthesis. George Rawlinson (1812?1902), Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford and brother to Assyriologist Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, wrote amid the first great wave of Near Eastern decipherment. Translator of Herodotus and author of The Five Great Monarchies, he applied philological rigor and comparative method to restore Phoenicia's historical stature. This volume will reward scholars of the Mediterranean and Bible, students of trade and writing, and serious general readers. Allowing for its Victorian frame, it remains a dependable reference, rich in sources and clarity, for understanding Phoenician religion, commerce, diplomacy, and the maritime networks that shaped antiquity. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readableーdistilled, never diluted.

Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture【電子書籍】[ Benjamin Felix Richardson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines suburban development in New Zealand and its conflict with and impact on local horticulture and food security.</p> <p>Drawing on an ethnographic study of Auckland’s rapidly expanding urban periphery, combined with comparative case studies from California in the USA and Victoria in Australia, the book examines how the profit-making strategies of property developers and landowners drastically reshapes work and life at the edge of cities. With a significant portion of the world's croplands lying adjacent to cities, the accelerating pace of urban sprawl across the planet places unprecedented pressure on the productivity and even existence of these vital food bowl regions. The book examines how the demand for more land for development at the urban periphery collides with concerns over local food security and the protection of ecosystem services. It analyses land use policy, historical records, and physical patterns of development, alongside participant observation of local events. It combines this with interviews with government officials, property developers, landowners, local residents and horticulturists. By combining these narratives of the hectic and lucrative business of suburban property development with the collapse of local horticulture, this book shows how the realignment of the New Zealand's interests of financial profitability over other concerns led to the transformation of urban peripheries from a productive food bowl to an investment vehicle.</p> <p>This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban food and agriculture, urban planning and development and rural-urban studies.</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。 9,616円

Space-time, Yang-mills Gravity, And Dynamics Of Cosmic Expansion: How Quantum Yang-mills Gravity In The Super-macroscopic Limit Leads To An Effective Gμv(t) And New Perspectives On Hubble's Law, The Cosmic Redshift And Dark Energy【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book shows how one can combine Yang-Mills gauge symmetry and effective Einstein-Grossmann metric tensors to tackle physical problems at microscopic, macroscopic and super-macroscopic length scales. In particular, the combination of gauge symmetry and an effective metric tensor provides a framework for and leads to an alternative dynamics of cosmic expansion based on quantum Yang-Mills gravity at the super-macroscopic limit. Together with the cosmological principle, one can investigate and derive expanding scale factors, the age of the universe, the cosmic redshift, and the Hubble recession velocity. Furthermore, this framework leads to a possible explanation for the late-time accelerated cosmic expansion due to baryon masses and charges. All these discussions are based on the operationally defined space and time coordinates of inertial frames. Finally, this book expounds on the intimate relationship between space-time translation gauge symmetry and the beautiful ideas of the Lie derivative and Pauli's variation. One interesting application of the Lie derivative is to formulate a gravitational theory with an external space-time gauge group, which leads to Yang-Mills gravity.</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。 15,506円

Chasing Archipelagic Dreams The Expansion of Foreign Influence in Sabah amid the End of Empire, 1945?1965【電子書籍】[ David R. Saunders ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In</strong> <em><strong>Chasing Archipelagic Dreams</strong></em>**, David R. Saunders demonstrates that the withdrawal of the British imperial state from Sabah did not result in the decolonization of the territory.** From the late 1940s to the 1960s, international anti-colonialism interacted with regional competition over Sabah to result in a paradoxical increase of British power and influence on the ground. Meanwhile, ethnic, social, and political heterogeneity in Sabah contributed to fragmentation and disunity, undermining the development of a local anti-colonial movement. Instead, a class of influential local elites seized power as competing attempts by the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaya to incorporate the territory into their respective archipelagic spheres grew in strength. Due to these local and international rivalries, Saunders argues, Sabah's eventual merger with the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 prompted an extension of colonial-style rule, resource extraction, the suppression of local autonomy, and the imposition of an externally-configured national identity.</p> <p><em>Chasing Archipelagic Dreams</em> underscores the significance of regional rivalries in the South China Sea and highlights the fate of subaltern communities bisected by (post)colonial borders.</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

Africa and the Expansion of International Society Surrendering the Savannah【電子書籍】[ John Anthony Pella, Jr ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explores the West-Central African role in, and experience during, the expansion of international society.</p> <p>Building upon theoretical contributions from the English School of international relations, historical sociology and sociology, it departs from Euro-centric assumptions by analysing how West-Central Africa and West-Central Africans were integral to the ways in which Europe and Africa came together from the fifteenth century through to the twentieth. Initially, diverse scholarship concerned with the expansion of international society is examined, revealing how the process has often been understood as one dictated by Europeans. From there a new approach is developed, one which is better able to examine the expansion as an interactive process between individuals, and which puts the African experience at the heart of study. The empirical research that follows this draws upon primary sources to introduce a number of historically significant and ground-breaking cases into international relations, including; the international relations of West-Central Africa before the European arrival, the emergence and growth of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the attempts to ‘civilize’ Africa, and the ‘scramble’ to colonize Africa. This book argues that the expansion of international society was driven by individual interaction, and was shaped by both Africans and Europeans.</p> <p>This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, international relations theory, history, African politics, the English school and constructivism.</p> <p>Author John Anthony Pella introduces his book African and the Expansion of International Society: Surrendering the Savannah www.routledge.com/politics/articles/featured_author_john_anthony_pella/</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。 9,119円
