Farming, Famine and Plague The Impact of Climate in Late Medieval England【電子書籍】[ Kathleen Pribyl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book is situated at the cross-roads of environmental, agricultural and economic history and climate science. It investigates the climatic background for the two most significant risk factors for life in the crisis-prone England of the Later Middle Ages: subsistence crisis and plague. Based on documentary data from eastern England, the late medieval growing season temperature is reconstructed and the late summer precipitation of that period indexed. Using these data, and drawing together various other regional (proxy) data and a wide variety of contemporary documentary sources, the impact of climatic variability and extremes on agriculture, society and health are assessed. Vulnerability and resilience changed over time: before the population loss in the Great Pestilence in the mid-fourteenth century meteorological factors contributing to subsistence crises were the main threat to the English people, after the arrival of Yersinia pestis it was the weather conditions that faciliated the formation of recurrent major plague outbreaks.</p> <p>Agriculture and harvest success in late medieval England were inextricably linked to both short term weather extremes and longer term climatic fluctuations. In this respect the climatic transition period in the Late Middle Ages (c. 1250-1450) is particularly important since the broadly favourable conditions for grain cultivation during the Medieval Climate Optimum gave way to the Little Ice Age, when agriculture was faced with many more challenges; the fourteenth century in particular was marked by high levels of climatic variability.</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

And The Heart Is Mine A Graceful Life with Avatar Adi Da Samraj【電子書籍】[ Momo Pete ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The room was completely darkened, his image appeared on the screen. At this moment my perception of space and time disappeared. My body felt like a thunder went through it. Everything around me began to vibrate in a kind of fire. My heart shattered and was lost. A feeling of infinite and eternal love rushed into my body from above, yes, into my entire life, like a waterfall that had only been waiting for this moment and this opportunity. In front of me sat God incarnate, the Truth, the eternal, limitless unconditional Love that I had been looking for incessantly and desperately in life after life. The prophesied figure of the God-man. My heart just knew it. Could it be? Here in Freiburg? Now? It was unearthly! That which has no name sat in front of me in human form and shape. At that moment I fell into this infinite love, I couldn't grab hold of myself any more, I couldn't think. It was as if lightening flashes of love were chasing through my body and each lightening flash confirmed that the Truth, the Reality as such had assumed a human form in front of my eyes.</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。 1,700円

In Your Face: What's Yours Saying About You? A Modern Guide to Determine Anyone's Character and Emotional History【電子書籍】[ Emisch Oghma ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>IN YOUR FACE: What's Yours Saying About You? A modern guide to determine anyone's character and emotional history</p> <p>Have you ever said, "I'm not good at remembering people's faces"? or wondered "What is my face revealing about me?"<br /> IN YOUR FACE is a unique, easy-to-use guide to face reading. Emisch Oghma has modernized the ancient Chinese system of Siang Mien. Shapes, features, lines, bulges and indents - all reveal a person's emotional history and capabilities with uncanny accuracy. IN YOUR FACE is designed so anyone can quickly read their own face, their friends, family, co-workers - observing, analyzing, learning and laughing while improving your ability to remember names and faces!</p> <p>About the author: Emisch Oghma<br /> Since experiencing a severe brain injury in 2003, visual artist Emisch Oghma has studied and practiced face reading as therapy for a rare diagnosis of agnosia - the inability to recognize and identify objects or persons. Like a person with advanced dementia, he literally could not recognize or remember people's faces. It was, he said, an unsettling world populated only by archetypes and clones.<br /> Against all prognoses and odds, Emisch was determined to rebuild his mental capacities - he had two young sons to raise and they needed a functioning father. After modernizing Siang Mien, and by being more observant, caring and interested in individuals' faces, Emisch's agnosia has steadily improved. Emisch Oghma lives in Victoria, BC, Canada.</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。 321円

Rice Wars in Colonial Vietnam The Great Famine and the Viet Minh Road to Power【電子書籍】[ Geoffrey C. Gunn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book offers the first detailed English-language examination of the Great Vietnamese Famine of 1945, which left at least a million dead, and links it persuasively to the largely unexpected Viet Minh seizure of power only months later. Drawing on extensive research in French archives, Geoffrey C. Gunn offers an important new interpretation of Japanese?Vichy French wartime economic exploitation of Vietnam’s agricultural potential. He analyzes successes and failures of French colonial rice programs and policies from the early 1900s to 1945, drawing clear connections between colonialism and agrarian unrest in the 1930s and the rise of the Viet Minh in the 1940s. Gunn asks whether the famine signaled a loss of the French administration’s “mandate of heaven,” or whether the overall dire human condition was the determining factor in facilitating communist victory in August 1945.</p> <p>In the broader sweep of Vietnamese history, including the rise of the communist party, the picture that emerges is not only one of local victimhood at the hands of outsidersーFrench and, in turn, Japaneseー but the enormous agency on the part of the Vietnamese themselves to achieve moral victory over injustice against all odds, no matter how controversial, tragic, and contested the outcome. As the author clearly demonstrates, colonial-era development strategies and contests also had their postwar sequels in the “American war,” just as land, land reform, and subsistence-sustainable development issues persist into the present.</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。 16,398円

Demonic Possession and Exorcism In Early Modern France【電子書籍】[ Sarah Ferber ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is a highly original study of demon possession and the ritual of exorcism, both of which were rife in early modern times, and which reached epidemic proportions in France. Catholics at the time believed that the Devil was everywhere present, in the rise of the heretics, in the activities of witches, and even in the bodies of pious young women. The rite of exorcism was intended to heal the possessed and show the power of the Church - but it generated as many problems as it resolved. Possessed nuns endured frequently violent exorcisms, exorcists were suspected of conjuring devils, and possession itself came to be seen as a form of holiness, elevating several women to the status of living saints. Sarah Ferber offers a challenging study of one of the most intriguing phenomena of early modern Europe. Looking towards the present day, the book also argues that early modern conflicts over the Devil still carry an unexpected force and significance for Western Christianity.</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。 8,866円

Evening News Optics, Astronomy, and Journalism in Early Modern Europe【電子書籍】[ Eileen Reeves ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Eileen Reeves examines a web of connections between journalism, optics, and astronomy in early modern Europe, devoting particular attention to the ways in which a long-standing association of reportage with covert surveillance and astrological prediction was altered by the near simultaneous emergence of weekly newsheets, the invention of the Dutch telescope, and the appearance of Galileo Galilei's astronomical treatise, <em>The Starry Messenger</em>.</p> <p>Early modern news writers and consumers often understood journalistic texts in terms of recent developments in optics and astronomy, Reeves demonstrates, even as many of the first discussions of telescopic phenomena such as planetary satellites, lunar craters, sunspots, and comets were conditioned by accounts of current events. She charts how the deployment of particular technologies of visionーthe telescope and the camera obscuraーwere adapted to comply with evolving notions of objectivity, censorship, and civic awareness. Detailing the differences between various types of printed and manuscript news and the importance of regional, national, and religious distinctions, <em>Evening News</em> emphasizes the ways in which information moved between high and low genres and across geographical and confessional boundaries in the first decades of the seventeenth century.</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。 8,116円

What Remains: Breast Cancer, Mastectomy and Getting on with Life【電子書籍】[ Beth R. Minear ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During the Derecho weather event of June 2012, I was blind-sided with the diagnosis of breast cancer. I had faithfully gotten mammograms every year and had no family history on either side, so the shock of the diagnosis shook my equilibrium. As an attorney by profession and Type-A from birth, controlling what little I could control and at least managing what I couldnt control got me through. I am also the mother of a child with special needs. My son has Aspergers and, although brilliant, will always need me to help him navigate the neuro-typical world. I must outlive him. My choices reflect that acute realization. Although only diagnosed in the right breast, and with options other than mastectomy for that one, I elected for a double-mastectomy. When my hair started falling out from chemotherapy, I went to the salon and had it all shaved off. When I found out that my cancer was estrogen-fed, I had an elective oophorectomy. Removing my ovaries both helps prevent recurrence and ensures that I wont get ovarian cancer. What remains after a life changing diagnosis and the grueling path to Survival is a new normal that can be both heart-breaking on a daily basis and sweeter than the life you had before. The book is my unvarnished truth of the ugly and the blessings of receiving such a diagnosis - often indelicate in detail and irreverently funny. Through this experience, I learned that you can actually feel prayer. Its the most profound feeling I have ever experienced. Not miring the readers in gloom and doom, What Remains is intended to give hope, peace and courage to everyone, regardless of circumstances. The famous quote from Confucius rings true . . . We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one. Im living my second life and finding joy and laughter in the most generic experiences. Even almost three years later, I wake up every morning with breast cancer as my first thought. I give thanks to God for each day that no one is promised . . . then get up and get on with my life.</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。 774円

Sensorless AC Electric Motor Control Robust Advanced Design Techniques and Applications【電子書籍】[ Alain Glumineau ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This monograph shows the reader how to avoid the burdens of sensor cost, reduced internal physical space, and system complexity in the control of AC motors. Many applications fieldsーelectric vehicles, wind- and wave-energy converters and robotics, among themーwill benefit.<br /> Sensorless AC Electric Motor Control describes the elimination of physical sensors and their replacement with observers, i.e., software sensors. Robustness is introduced to overcome problems associated with the unavoidable imperfection of knowledge of machine parametersーresistance, inertia, and so onーencountered in real systems. The details of a large number of speed- and/or position-sensorless ideas for different types of permanent-magnet synchronous motors and induction motors are presented along with several novel observer designs for electrical machines. Control strategies are developed using high-order, sliding-mode and quasi-continuous-sliding-mode techniques and two types of observer?controller schemes based on backstepping and sliding-mode techniques are described. Experimental results validate the performance of these observer and controller configurations with test trajectories of significance in difficult sensorless-AC-machine problems.<br /> Control engineers working with AC motors in a variety of industrial environments will find the space-and-cost-saving ideas detailed in Sensorless AC Electric Motor Control of much interest. Academic researchers and graduate students from electrical, mechanical and control-engineering backgrounds will be able to see how advanced theoretical control can be applied in meaningful real systems.</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。 17,016円

Indigenous Citizens Local Liberalism in Early National Oaxaca and Yucat?n【電子書籍】[ Karen D. Caplan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Indigenous Citizens</em> challenges the commonly held assumption that early nineteenth-century Mexican state-building was a failure of liberalism. By comparing the experiences of two Mexican states, Oaxaca and Yucat?n, Caplan shows how the institutions and ideas associated with liberalism became deeply entrenched in Mexico's regions, but only on locally acceptable terms.</p> <p>Faced with the common challenge of incorporating new institutions into political life, Mexicansーbe they indigenous villagers, government officials, or local elitesーnegotiated ways to make those institutions compatible with a range of local interests. Although Oaxaca and Yucat?n both had large indigenous majorities, the local liberalisms they constructed incorporated indigenous people differently as citizens. As a result, Oaxaca experienced relative social peace throughout this era, while Yucat?n exploded with indigenous rebellion beginning in 1847.</p> <p>This book puts the interaction between local and national liberalisms at the center of the narrative of Mexico's nineteenth century. It suggests that "liberalism" must be understood not as an overarching system imposed on the Mexican nation but rather as a set of guiding assumptions and institutions that Mexicans put to use in locally specific ways.</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。 4,385円

In the Process of Becoming Analytic and Philosophical Perspectives on Form in Early Nineteenth-Century Music【電子書籍】[ Janet Schmalfeldt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>With their insistence that form is a dialectical process in the music of Beethoven, Theodor Adorno and Carl Dahlhaus emerge as the guardians of a long-standing critical tradition in which Hegelian concepts have been brought to bear on the question of musical form. Janet Schmalfeldt's ground-breaking account of the development of this Beethoven-Hegelian tradition restores to the term "form" some of its philosophical associations in the early nineteenth century, when profound cultural changes were yielding new relationships between composers and their listeners, and when music itself-in particular, instrumental music-became a topic for renewed philosophical investigation. Precedents for Adorno's and Dahlhaus's concept of form as process arise in the Athen?um Fragments of Friedrich Schlegel and in the Encyclopaedia Logic of Hegel. The metaphor common to all these sources is the notion of becoming; it is the idea of form coming into being that this study explores in respect to music by Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Schumann. A critical assessment of Dahlhaus's preoccupation with the opening of Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata serves as the author's starting point for the translation of philosophical ideas into music-analytical terms-ones that encourage listening "both forward and backward," as Adorno has recommended. Thanks to the ever-growing familiarity of late eighteenth-century audiences with formal conventions, composers could increasingly trust that performers and listeners would be responsive to striking formal transformations. The author's analytic method strives to capture the dynamic, quasi-narrative nature of such transformations, rather than only their end results. This experiential approach to the perception of form invites listeners and especially performers to participate in the interpretation of processes by which, for example, a brooding introduction-like opening must inevitably become the essential main theme in Schubert's Sonata, Op. 42, or in which tremendous formal expansions in movements by Mendelssohn offer a dazzling opportunity for multiple retrospective reinterpretations. Above all, In the Process of Becoming proposes new ways of hearing beloved works of the romantic generation as representative of their striving for novel, intensely self-reflective modes of communication.</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。 4,604円

Antioxidant Crisis: Vitamin E and the Cancer Epidemic【電子書籍】[ Vikash Kumar ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Antioxidant Crisis: Vitamin E and the Cancer Epidemic by Vikash Kumar is a groundbreaking exploration of the rise, fall, and reimagining of Vitamin E as a cornerstone of antioxidant therapy, with a particular focus on its complex relationship with cancer. This meticulously researched book traces the scientific, historical, and societal dimensions of the antioxidant crisis, offering a nuanced perspective on how initial enthusiasm for Vitamin E as a preventive agent for chronic diseases gave way to critical scrutiny and a call for evidence-based strategies. Through a blend of scientific rigor, clinical insights, and real-world narratives, Kumar unravels the promises and pitfalls of Vitamin E, providing a compelling framework for understanding its role in the modern health landscape.</p> <p>The book begins with the science of antioxidants, delving into the mechanisms of oxidative stress and Vitamin E's role in cellular protection (Chapter 2). It explains how reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to cancer through DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, while highlighting Vitamin E's ability to neutralize these threats, tempered by the risks of disrupting redox balance. Chapter 3 charts the historical trajectory of Vitamin E supplementation, from its discovery in 1922 to its peak in the 1980s, followed by the sobering findings of trials like the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT), which linked high doses to increased prostate cancer risk.</p> <p>Chapter 4 explores the intricate connection between Vitamin E and cancer, detailing how early hopes, fueled by studies like the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study, were overshadowed by evidence of harm from over-supplementation. The antioxidant crisis is further dissected in Chapter 5, which examines misconceptionsーsuch as the belief that more antioxidants equate to better healthーand contrasts the benefits of dietary Vitamin E with the risks of supplements. Chapter 6 brings the narrative to life with clinical trial analyses, patient stories illustrating both benefits (e.g., in smokers with precancerous lesions) and harms (e.g., increased cancer risk in healthy individuals), and global trends revealing disparities in Vitamin E use.</p> <p>Chapter 7 proposes a forward-looking approach, advocating for balanced redox strategies, personalized nutrition based on genetic and lifestyle factors, and innovative cancer prevention methods. Finally, Chapter 8 synthesizes these insights, offering key takeaways, policy recommendations to regulate supplements and promote dietary sources, and a research roadmap emphasizing low-dose trials, biomarker development, and precision medicine.</p> <p>Vikash Kumar, a distinguished researcher in nutritional science, brings a critical perspective to this work, drawing on decades of evidence to challenge conventional wisdom and advocate for a balanced, evidence-based approach to antioxidant therapy. Antioxidant Crisis is an essential read for scientists, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Vitamin E in the context of cancer. It not only chronicles a scientific saga but also charts a path toward safer, more effective strategies for health and disease prevention in an era of evolving medical paradigms.</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。 1,800円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This fascinating study follows the fortunes of the H?chstetter family, merchant-manufacturers and financiers of Augsburg, Germany, in the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries, and sheds light on the economic and social history of failure and resilience in early modern Europe. Carefully tracing the chronology of the family’s rise, fall and transformation, it moves from the micro- to the macro-level, making comparisons with other mercantile families of the time to draw conclusions and suggest insights into such issues as social mobility, capitalist organization, business techniques, market practices and economic institutions. The result is a microhistory that offers macro-conclusions about the lived experience of early capitalism and capitalistic practices.</p> <p>This book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of economic, financial and business history, legal history and early modern European history.</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。 9,028円

Stick It! My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll【電子書籍】[ Carmine Appice ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Carmine Appice has enjoyed a jaw-dropping rock-and-roll lifeーand now he is telling his scarcely believable story. Appice ran with teenage gangs in Brooklyn before becoming a global rock star in the Summer of Love, managed by the Mob. He hung with Hendrix, unwittingly paid for an unknown Led Zeppelin to support him on tour, taught John Bonham to play drums (and helped Fred Astaire too), and took part in Zeppelin's infamous deflowering of a groupie with a mud shark. After enrolling in Rod Stewart's infamous Sex Police, he hung out with Kojak, accidentally shared a house with Prince, was blood brothers with Ozzy Osbourne and was fired by Sharon. He formed an all-blond hair-metal band, jammed with John McEnroe and Steven Seagal, got married five times, slept with 4,500 groupiesーand, along the way, became a rock legend by single-handedly reinventing hard rock and heavy metal drumming. His memoir, <em>Stick It!,</em> is one of the most extraordinary and outrageous rock-and-roll books of the early twenty-first century.</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。 580円

Conflict Minerals, Inc. War, Profit and White Saviourism in Eastern Congo【電子書籍】[ Christoph N. Vogel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the twenty-first century, the relationship between violent conflict and natural resources has become a matter of intense public and academic debate. As a result of fervent activism and international campaigning, the flagship case of ‘conflict minerals’ has captured global attention. This term groups together the artisanal tin, tantalum (coltan), tungsten and gold originating from war zones in Central Africa.</p> <p>Known as ‘digital minerals’ for their use in high-end technology, their exploitation and trade has been singled out in numerous media and United Nations reports as a key driver of violence, provoking an unprecedented popular outcry and prompting transnational efforts to promote ‘conflict-free’, ethical mining. Focusing on the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo,*Conflict Minerals, Inc.*is the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon.</p> <p>Based on meticulous investigation and long-term fieldwork, this book analyses why the campaign against ‘unethical’ mining went awry, and radically disrupted eastern Congo’s political economy. It dissects the evolution of the conflict minerals paradigm, the policy responses it triggered and their impact on artisanal miners. Vogel demonstrates how Western advocacy and policy have relied on colonial frames to drive change, and how White Saviourism perpetuates structural violence and inequality across global supply and value chains.</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。 2,289円

Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain Bad Blood and Faith from Alonso de Cartagena to Diego Vel?zquez【電子書籍】[ Kevin Ingram ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Vel?zquez, in his work, <em>Los Borrachos</em>. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.</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。 3,402円

Hindi Hindu Histories Caste, Ayurveda, Travel, and Communism in Early-Twentieth-Century India【電子書籍】[ Charu Gupta ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Explores how four public intellectuals in North India imagined freedom and Hindi-Hindu nationhood through their writings on caste, Ayurveda, travel, and communism.</strong></p> <p>What did everyday Hinduism in India look like a hundred years ago? Were its practices more varied and less politically curtailed than now? <em>Hindi Hindu Histories</em> provides illuminating historical accounts of Hindu life through individual actors, autobiographical narratives, and genres in the Hindi print-public culture of early twentieth-century North India. It focuses on four fascinating figures: a successful woman doctor in the Indigenous medical regime, a globe-trotting Hindu ascetic who opposed Gandhi, an anticaste campaigner who spoke for sexual equality, and a Hindu communist who envisioned an egalitarian utopia in the world of labor. These public intellectuals harbored vernacular dreams of freedom and Hindi-Hindu nationhood through their vantage points of caste, Ayurveda, travel, and communism. Opening up a vast and under-explored Hindi archive, this book presents a dynamic spectacle of a plural Hindi-Hindu universe of facets that coexisted, challenged each other, and comprised an idea of Hinduness far more inclusive than anything conceivable in the present moment.</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。 5,064円
