楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

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.

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 Ballad of Iron Kelly (short story character 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 Ballad of Iron Kelly</strong></p> <p>Kelly Irene, AKA Iron Kelly, is an invaluable member of the crew of the “Pirates of the Twenty-Wun Stars”. As a soldier in the civil war on Winston Proper she was in possession of two very, oversized for her body, cybernetic war amrs. Each arm could transform into a triple barrel particle cannon that could take out a tank. She was the type of military personnel that would get her own piece on a strategic war board. This type of augmentation does not usually exist outside of war times and a war zone, and for that matter on a person of her size, but thru a turn of events she ended up part of the crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars. This is that story.</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 first of the new worlds to find each other and reconnect old humanity on new worlds, would eventually form The Confederation of Republic Worlds. This union would be marked with the erection of the Jara Timekeeping Tower on Jara Prime, broadcasting a synced time throughout the known universe.</p> <p><strong>This is the Jara Era.</strong></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。 162円

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

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 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>The Conquest of a Continent is a controversial work by Madison Grant that explores the themes of race, immigration, and the expansion of European settlers across North America. In this book, Grant argues for the idea of racial superiority, particularly promoting the notion that the Nordic or Anglo-Saxon races were essential to the development of American civilization. He presents a historical narrative that examines the interactions between different racial and ethnic groups, claiming that the dominance of the Nordic race has shaped the United States' cultural and political landscape.Grant employs a mix of historical analysis, social commentary, and pseudoscientific arguments to support his views, which reflect the prevailing attitudes of the early 20th century regarding race and immigration. He expresses concerns about the impact of non-Nordic immigration on American society, advocating for eugenics and stricter immigration controls to preserve what he considered the "racial integrity" of the nation.</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。 158円

Pot for Profit Cannabis Legalization, Racial Capitalism, and the Expansion of the Carceral State【電子書籍】[ Joseph Mello ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The United States has experienced a dramatic shift in attitudes towards cannabis use from the 1970s, when only 12% of Americans said that they thought that cannabis should be legal, to today. What once had been a counterculture drug supplied for the black market by socially marginal figures like drug smugglers and hippies has become a big business, dominated by a few large corporations. <em>Pot for Profit</em>, traces the cultural, historical, political, and legal roots of these changing attitudes towards cannabis. The book also showcases interviews with dispensary owners, bud tenders, and other industry employees about their experience working in the legal cannabis industry, and cannabis reform activists working towards legalization. Mello argues that embracing the profit potential of this drug has been key to the success of cannabis reform, and that this approach has problematic economic and racial implications. The story of cannabis reform shows that neoliberalism may not be an absolute barrier to social change, but it does determine the terrain on which these debates must occur. When activists capitulate to these pressures, they may make some gains, but those gains come with strings attached. This only serves to reinforce the totalizing power of the neoliberal ethos on American life. The book concludes by meditating on what, if anything, can be done to move the cannabis legalization movement back onto a more progressive track.</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。 3,598円

Pack the Court! A Defense of Supreme Court Expansion【電子書籍】[ Stephen M. Feldman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The United States Supreme Court has numbered nine justices for the past 150 years. But that number is not fixed. With the Democrats controlling the House and Senate during the Biden presidency, they <em>could</em> add justices to the Supreme Court. But would court packing destroy the Court as an apolitical judicial institution? This is the crucial question Stephen Feldman addresses in his provocative book, <em>Pack the Court!</em> He uses a historical, analytical, and political argument to justify court-packing in general and Democratic court-packing more specifically.</p> <p>Republicans and Democrats alike profess to worry that court-packing will destroy the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as a judicial institution by injecting politics into a purely legal adjudicative process. But as Feldman’s insightful book shows, law and politics are forever connected in judicial interpretation and decision making. <em>Pack the Court!</em> insists that court packing is not the threat to the Supreme Court’s institutional legitimacy that many fear. Given this, Feldman argues that Democrats should pack the Court while they have the opportunity. Doing so might even strengthen the American people’s faith in the Court.</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。 4,234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。 8,953円

Entitled Discriminating Tastes and the Expansion of the Arts【電子書籍】[ Jennifer C. Lena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An in-depth look at how democratic values have widened the American arts scene, even as it remains elite and cosmopolitan</strong></p> <p>Two centuries ago, wealthy entrepreneurs founded the American cathedrals of cultureーmuseums, theater companies, and symphony orchestrasーto mirror European art. But today’s American arts scene has widened to embrace multitudes: photography, design, comics, graffiti, jazz, and many other forms of folk, vernacular, and popular culture. What led to this dramatic expansion? In <em>Entitled</em>, Jennifer Lena shows how organizational transformations in the American art worldーamid a shifting political, economic, technological, and social landscapeーmade such change possible.</p> <p>By chronicling the development of American art from its earliest days to the present, Lena demonstrates that while the American arts may be more open, they are still unequal. She examines key historical moments, such as the creation of the Museum of Primitive Art and the funneling of federal and state subsidies during the New Deal to support the production and display of culture. Charting the efforts to define American genres, styles, creators, and audiences, Lena looks at the ways democratic values helped legitimate folk, vernacular, and commercial art, which was viewed as nonelite. Yet, even as art lovers have acquired an appreciation for more diverse culture, they carefully select and curate works that reflect their cosmopolitan, elite, and moral tastes.</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。 2,990円

The Twelve Hypotheses - P3Hypothesis 9 The Expansion of the Earth【電子書籍】[ khawla khaled ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>I am an amateur writer with no expertise since 1992. My first research was on the end of the world... natural disasters... black holes... white dwarfs... red giants... supernova explosions... My research journey continued until 2002, researching the division of cosmic matter after the end of the world. Then, in 2004, I wrote a research paper on the origin of the universe and wrote a research paper on the origin of the universe according to Imam Ali, who, along with his cousin Muhammad ibn Abdullah, founded the scientific school that developed into today's scientific institutions. I have research that proves this, but this truth has been obscured from people due to previous scientific thefts... At the same time, I wrote about the geological changes that preceded Islam in the sixth century AD and the geological changes that are occurring from our time to the coming years... I continued my research on the variables and constants in our world. I followed scientific reports and browsed through various books. I wrote in several sciences, and the goal was to obtain a comprehensive view of the universe and different insights. I followed chemical elements, equations, and inorganic and organic chemical reactions, and I wrote in biology. I was not satisfied with a specific branch or a single specialization, so I moved from science to philosophy to development... to mysticism, because I was a mystic from the age of 12 to 17. Reading various books is the reason for my research in ways that are not specialized but comprehensive. I treat a scientific view of a science with a different 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。 150円

The North-Eastern Frontiers of Medieval Europe The Expansion of Latin Christendom in the Baltic Lands【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>By the mid-twelfth century the lands on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, from Finland to the frontiers of Poland, were Catholic Europe’s final frontier: a vast, undeveloped expanse of lowlands, forest and waters, inhabited by peoples belonging to the Finnic and Baltic language groups. In the course of the following three centuries, Finland, Estonia, Livonia and Prussia were incorporated into the Latin world through processes of conquest, Christianisation and settlement, and brought under the rule of Western monarchies and ecclesiastical institutions. Lithuania was left as the last pagan polity in Europe, yet able to accept Christianity on its own terms in 1386. The Western conquest of the Baltic lands advanced the frontier of Latin Christendom to that of the Russian Orthodox world, and had profound and long lasting effects on the institutions, society and culture of the region lasting into modern times. This volume presents 21 key studies (2 of them translated from German for the first time) on this crucial period in the development of North-Eastern Europe, dealing with crusade and conversion, the establishment of Western rule, settlement and society, and the development of towns, trade and the economy. It includes a classified bibliography of the main works published in Western languages since World War II together with an introduction by the editor.</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。 37,447円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book analyses the strategies used by public authorities to expand the UK aviation industry in relation to growing political opposition and the negative impact of flying on local communities and climate change.</p> <p>Its genealogical investigations show how governmental practices and technologies designed to depoliticise aviation and expand airports have generally failed to constitute an effective political will to counter community resistance and environmental protest. Criticising the dominant logics of UK airport expansion, the authors promote a radical rethinking of our attitudes to aviation in terms of sufficiency, degrowth and alternative hedonism, laying the ground for a more sustainable future.</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。 4,006円

Pleading with Chris to allow her to disregard all safety, governmental regulations, and common scientific practice, Becky samples the fluid, making herself the first human trial of the powerful pharmaceutical. The intimacy of the necessary baseline measurements test the partners' platonic relationship moments before the true trial commences as Becky's chest begins to expand, her mammary tissue beginning to bud for the first time in her life. Her personal excitement is only quelled by Chris's scientific precision and insistence on continuous data collection, but when the growth ceases to stop, when Becky's newly developed chest continues to expand, the true trial of their friendship, erotic stamina, and ability to handle the fruition of their fantasies begins. Chris is about to take the ride of a lifetime...</p> <p>~ Her Deepest, Feminine Desire ~ His Ultimate Erotic Fantasy ~ Their Life's Work BLOWN UP Bigger Than They Could Possibly Imagine ~</p> <pre><code> This erotica expansion tale brings all of your favorite erotic transformation themes to life for you to experience intimately: erotica experiment, erotic sci fi, breast expansion, big breasted sex, bimbofication of a scientist, big titted sex erotica Adult Erotica Warning: This book contains adult sex situations infused with explicit erotic sex scenes in explicit detail and graphic sex and language and is intended for mature adult audiences only.

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

Origin and Expansion of Chinese Sociology【電子書籍】[ Shaojie Liu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book reexamines Chinese sociology's point of departure and boundaries of western sociology from a new academic perspective, and offers a new definition of the essence and mission of sociology, drawing and critically reflecting on the ideological and theoretical theories of the classic sociologists. On this basis, it makes a careful study of the origin of Confucian classics and western sources of Chinese sociology and analyses the origin and evolution of Chinese sociology at the intersection of Chinese and western academic history. Further, it provides a deep and thorough discussion of the social theories of Chinese sociology pioneers and founders (such as Fu Yan, Youwei Kang, and Qichao Liang) and comments on Shuming Liang’s sociological theory, which emphasizes the Chinese culture and tradition as well as the particularity of the Chinese social structure. In addition, it also offers an in-depth analysis of Xiaotong Fei’s advocacy of the idea of expanding the traditional boundaries of sociology in his later years. With regard to promoting the development of a new Chinese sociology, the book is particularly important in terms of expanding academic research and promoting discipline construction.</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。 12,154円

The Expansion of Central Europe in the Middle Ages【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume brings together a set of key studies on the history of medieval Central Europe (Bohemia, Hungary, Poland), along with others specially commissioned for the book or translated, and a new introduction. This region was both an area of immigration, and one of polities in expansion. Such expansion included the settlement and exploitation of previously empty lands as well as rulers' attempts to incorporate new territories under their rule, although these attempts did not always succeed. Often, German immigration has been prioritized in scholarship, and the medieval expansion of Central Europe has been equated with the expansion of Germans. Debates then focused on the positive or negative contribution of Germans to local life, and the consequences of their settlement. This perspective, however, distorts our understanding of medieval processes. On the one hand, Central Europe was not a passive recipient of immigrants. Local rulers and eventually nobles benefited from and encouraged immigration; they played an active role. On the other hand, German immigration was not a unified movement, and cannot be equated with a drang nach osten. Finally, not just Germans, but also various Romance-speaking and other immigrant groups settled in Central Europe. This volume, therefore, seeks to present a more complex picture of medieval expansion in Central 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。 65,127円
