 Waste and Discards in the Asia Pacific Region Social and Cultural Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book uncovers, explores and analyses the cultural and social factors and values that lie behind waste making, recycling and disposal in the Asia Pacific region, where impressive economic growth has led to significant increases in production, consumption and concomitant waste production.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This volume demonstrates the immense scope of waste as a multi-sectoral phenomenon, covering discussions on food, menstrual products, sewage, electronics, scrap, nuclear waste, plastics and even entire villages as they are submerged underwater by dam building, considered expendable in favour of economic growth. It discusses the wide range of approaches and contexts through which people interact with waste, including socio-economic analysis, participatory observation, laboratory science, art, video, installations, literature and photography. Case studies focusing on India, China and Japan, in addition to other regional examples, demonstrate the ubiquity of waste, materially and geographically. They reveal the multiple, sometimes contradictory, dimensions of waste: managing it can foster community building but can also exclude marginalized groups; waste can trigger innovative economic concepts and practices, but it can also pollute the oceans in large garbage gyres and it can wondrously change its nature from trash to useful components to new production, before being discarded once again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This timely and wide-ranging collection of essays will be an important read for scholars, researchers and students in sustainability, development studies, discard studies, and social and cultural history, particularly focusing on countries in the Asia Pacific.＜/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 |

 Convergence and Diversity in the Governance of Higher Education Comparative Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For several decades, higher education systems have undergone continuous waves of reform, driven by a combination of concerns about the changing labour needs of the economy, competition within the global-knowledge economy, and nationally competitive positioning strategies to enhance the performance of higher education systems. Yet, despite far-ranging international pressures, including the emergence of an international higher education market, enormous growth in cross-border student mobility, and pressures to achieve universities of world class standing, boost research productivity and impact, and compete in global league tables, the suites of policy, policy designs and sector outcomes continue to be marked as much by hybridity as they are of similarity or convergence. This volume explores these complex governance outcomes from a theoretical and empirical comparative perspective, addressing those vectors precipitating change in the modalities and instruments of governance, and how they interface at the systemic and institutional levels, and across geographic regions.＜/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。 | 5,211円 |
 50 Years of Solar System Exploration Historical Perspectives (With Original NASA Photographs)【電子書籍】[ National Aeronautics and Space Administration ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞NASA's first successful mission to another planet, Mariner 2 to Venus in 1962, marked the beginning of what NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green describes in this volume as "a spectacular era" of solar system exploration. In its first 50 years of planetary exploration, NASA sent spacecraft to fly by, orbit, land on, or rove on every planet in our solar system, as well as Earth's Moon and several moons of other planets. Pluto, reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, was visited by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. In this volume, a diverse array of scholars addresses the science, technology, policy, and politics of planetary exploration. This volume offers a collection of in-depth studies of important projects, decisions, and milestones of this era. It is not possible to foresee what the next 50 years of NASA's planetary exploration program will reveal. However, the 2020s are already looking promising. Planetary missions in recent years have focused more and more on exploring potentially habitable environments in our solar system and developing a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of planetary environments. It is safe to say that by 2062, our understanding of our solar system will be radically different than it is today. And we will look forward to it.＜/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。 | 440円 |
 Tattoo Histories Transcultural Perspectives on the Narratives, Practices, and Representations of Tattooing【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Tattoo Histories＜/em＞is an edited volume which analyses and discusses the relevance of tattooing in the socio-cultural construction of bodies, boundaries, and identities, among both individuals and groups. Its interdisciplinary approach facilitates historical as well as contemporary perspectives. Rather than presenting a universal, essentialized history of tattooing, the volume’s objective is to focus on the entangled and transcultural histories, narratives, and practices related to tattoos. Contributions stem from various fields, including Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Media and Literary Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology. They advance the current endeavour on the part of tattoo scholars to challenge Eurocentric and North American biases prevalent in much of tattoo research, by including various analyses based in locations such as Malaysia, Israel, East Africa, and India. The thematic focus is on the transformative capacity of tattoos and tattooing, with regard to the social construction of bodies and subjectivity; the (re-)creation of social relationships through the definition of (non-)tattooed others; the formation and consolidation of group identities, traditions, and authenticity; and the conceptualization of art and its relevance to tattoo artist?tattooee 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。 | 9,279円 |

 Mind, Body, and Morality New Perspectives on Descartes and Spinoza【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The turn of the millennium has been marked by new developments in the study of early modern philosophy. In particular, the philosophy of Ren? Descartes has been reinterpreted in a number of important and exciting ways, specifically concerning his work on the mind-body union, the connection between objective and formal reality, and his status as a moral philosopher. These fresh interpretations have coincided with a renewed interest in overlooked parts of the Cartesian corpus and a sustained focus on the similarities between Descartes’ thought and the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mind, Body, and Moralityconsists of fifteen chapters written by scholars who have contributed significantly to the new turn in Descartes and Spinoza scholarship.

 The New Theology Exploring Modern Perspectives on Faith and Spirituality【電子書籍】[ R. J. Campbell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞R. J. Campbell's "The New Theology" emerges as a pivotal work that challenges traditional dogmas by advocating for a more progressive understanding of spirituality within the context of early 20th-century religious thought. Written in a lyrical yet accessible style, Campbell's prose weaves together theological inquiry, personal reflection, and the zeitgeist of an era ripe for reexamination of faith. The book provides a critical exploration of the intersections between religion, science, and morality, aligning with contemporary movements that sought to reconcile belief with modern knowledge while addressing the disillusionment brought on by World War I. R. J. Campbell, a notable figure in the early Liberal Christian movement, was deeply influenced by Socratic questioning and the philosophical undercurrents of his time. His theological explorations reflect his background as a minister and scholar, dedicated to expanding the horizons of faith beyond dogmatic restrictions. Campbell's work encapsulates his conviction that spirituality must evolve in response to human experiences and societal changes, making this book a vital reference for understanding the trajectory of modern theological discourse. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in contemporary theology, philosophy, or the historical shifts within Christianity. Campbell's thought-provoking arguments and thoughtful reflections serve as an invitation for individuals to engage critically with their own beliefs, encouraging a transformative journey toward a more inclusive and thoughtful spirituality.＜/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 |
 Edgar Poe and his Critics Enriched edition. Unraveling Literary Perspectives on the American Master of Mystery【電子書籍】[ Sarah Helen Whitman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Edgar Poe and His Critics," Sarah Helen Whitman delves into the complex web of critiques surrounding the enigmatic figure of Edgar Allan Poe. Through a blend of personal narrative and rigorous literary analysis, Whitman artfully navigates the tumultuous artistic landscape of the 19th century, addressing both lauded and disparaged aspects of Poe's oeuvre. Drawing from her keen insights and eloquent prose, Whitman situates Poe within the broader currents of Romanticism and the American literary tradition, examining the dichotomy of admiration and disdain that Poe often evoked from his contemporaries. Her insightful exploration invites readers to reconsider the value of Poe's contributions to literature against the backdrop of criticism he received. Sarah Helen Whitman, a notable poet and intellectual in her own right, was not only a contemporary of Poe but also an intimate and passionate admirer. Her close relationship with Poe, coupled with her own literary pursuits, provided her a unique perspective on the man behind the myths. A figure deeply entrenched in the Romantic and transcendental movements, Whitman's background as a poet and critic shaped her understanding of the fragile interplay between artistic genius and societal perception. This book is essential for readers and scholars who wish to understand the full scope of Edgar Allan Poe's literary legacy. Whitman's nuanced analysis not only illuminates Poe's work but also invites reflection on the deeper relationship between an author and their critics.

 Counterculture Kaleidoscope Musical and Cultural Perspectives on Late Sixties San Francisco【電子書籍】[ Nadya Zimmerman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Forty years after the fact, 1960s counterculture---personified by hippies, protest, and the Summer of Love---basks in a nostalgic glow in the popular imagination as a turning point in modern American history and the end of the age of innocence. Yet, while the era has come to be synonymous with rebellion and opposition, its truth is much more complex.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a bold reconsideration of the late sixties San Francisco counterculture movement, ＜em＞Counterculture Kaleidoscope＜/em＞ takes a close look at the cultural and musical practices of that era. Addressing the conventional wisdom that the movement was grounded in rebellion and opposition, the book exposes two myths: first, that the counterculture was an organized social and political movement of progressives with a shared agenda who opposed the mainstream (dubbed "hippies"); and second, that the counterculture was an innocent entity hijacked by commercialism and transformed over time into a vehicle of so-called "hip consumerism."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seeking an alternative to the now common narrative, Nadya Zimmerman examines primary source material including music, artwork, popular literature, personal narratives, and firsthand historical accounts. She reveals that the San Francisco counterculture wasn't interested in commitments to causes and made no association with divisive issues---that it embraced everything in general and nothing in particular.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Astute and accessible, ＜em＞Counterculture Kaleidoscope＜/em＞ provides thought-provoking insights into the historical, cultural and social context of the San Francisco counter-culture and its music scene, including discussions of Vietnam and student protest, the Haight-Ashbury Diggers, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Altamont, and Charlie Manson. A must for students and scholars of socio-musical activity and for all of us to whom music matters."＜br /＞ ---Sheila Whiteley, author of ＜em＞The Space Between the Notes: Rock and the Counter-Culture＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Too Much Too Young: Popular Music, Age and Gender＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The hippie counterculture has never garnered the scholarly attention accorded the new left and the black freedom struggle. Overviews of the period ritualistically mention it as part and parcel of that apparently incandescent era---the Sixties---but rarely capture its distinctiveness. ＜em＞Counterculture Kaleidoscope＜/em＞ is a timely and provocative intervention in Sixties scholarship that significantly deepens our understanding of this important but understudied phenomenon."＜br /＞ ーAlice Echols, Associate Professor, University of Southern California, and author of ＜em＞Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin＜/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。 | 3,771円 |
 Perspectives on Economic Development and Policy in India In Honour of Suresh D. Tendulkar【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The book pays tribute to the celebrated economist Professor Suresh Tendulkar’s contribution and scholarship to economics, economic-policy making, and economic reforms in India. Professor Tendulkar served on numerous panels and commissions set up to reform diverse aspects of India’s economy. To name a few, he served as the Chairperson of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, Chairman of the National Commission of Statistics, National Sample Survey Organisation, Committee on National Accounts, and as a member in the Fifth Pay Commission, the Disinvestment Commission (1996). He is credited with devising the new method to estimate poverty in India which resulted in India’s poverty estimates being scaled up.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book primarily focuses on Professor Tendulkar’s contributions on economic planning in India, the political economy of economic reforms, and his important conceptual and policy-relevant work on poverty measurement. The three sub-themes of the book ? Economic Reforms and Policy Formulation, Poverty and Inequality, and Development and Trade ? are indicative of his specific research interests, namely poverty and well-being, and India and the world economy. It covers both micro and macro aspects relevant to the Indian economy. The econometric techniques utilized encompass state-of-the-art microeconometric as well as macroeconometric models. The book contains contributions from eminent economists associated with Professor Tendulkar, and is useful for readers from the undergraduate through the Ph.D. level as well as researchers and practitioners of economics.＜/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 |
 Musicology and Dance Historical and Critical Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Long treated as peripheral to music history, dance has become prominent within musicological research, as a prime and popular subject for an increasing number of books, articles, conference papers and special symposiums. Despite this growing interest, there remains no thorough-going critical examination of the ways in which musicologists might engage with dance, thinking not only about specific repertoires or genres, but about fundamental commonalities between the two, including embodiment, agency, subjectivity and consciousness. This volume begins to fill this gap. Ten chapters illustrate a range of conceptual, historical and interpretive approaches that advance the interdisciplinary study of music and dance. This methodological eclecticism is a defining feature of the volume, integrating insights from critical theory, film and cultural studies, the visual arts, phenomenology, cultural anthropology and literary criticism into the study of music and dance.＜/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。 | 4,168円 |

 International Law and Transitional Governance Critical Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This volume examines the role of international law in shaping and regulating transitional contexts, including the institutions, policies, and procedures that have been developed to steer constitutional regime changes in countries affected by catalytic events.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book offers a new perspective on the phenomenon of conflict-related transitions, whereby societies are re-constitutionalized through a set of interim governance arrangements subject to variable degrees of internationalization. Specifically, this volume interrogates the relevance, contribution, and perils of international law for this increasingly widespread phenomenon of inserting an auxiliary phase between two ages of constitutional government. It develops a nuanced understanding of the various international legal discourses surrounding conflict- and political crisis-related transitional governance by studying the contextual factors that influence the transitional arrangements themselves, with a specific focus on international aspects, including norms, actors, and related forms of expertise. In doing so, the book builds a bridge between comparative constitutional law and international legal scholarship in the practical and highly dynamic terrain of transitional governance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of much interest to practitioners and students of international law, diplomacy, mediation, security studies, 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。 | 9,116円 |
 Multinational Corporations and Organization Theory Post Millennium Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The study of multinational companies (MNCs) has been split for many decades into two camps which hardly ‘talked’ to each other: a) predominantly economic and functionalist oriented International Business Researchers, and b) largely social constructivist and critical management oriented Organization Theorists. This volume intends to build bridges by bringing together leading international scholars from both camps, who provide new insights in the study of MNCs. In addition to the bridge-building exercise, the book aims to develop a more comprehensive organizational theoretical understanding as well as methodological plurality in the study of how MNCs function in the post-millennium era, both internally and externally, and also how they control their international operations across economic, institutional, cultural, linguistic, political and social divides. Key topics addressed in our volume include: historical perspectives on the study of MNCs, the role of increased financialization and marketization on MNCs, the new role of the HQ within contemporary MNC, the role of language in MNCs, discursive studies of MNCs, labour representation in MNCs as well as social movements and corporate social responsibility and MNCs.＜/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。 | 23,313円 |

 The Reality of the Social World Medieval, Early Modern, and Contemporary Perspectives on Social Ontology【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book offers a collection of contributions on medieval, early modern, and contemporary perspectives on social ontology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the 1990s, social ontology has emerged as a vibrant research area in contemporary analytical philosophy. Questions concerning the nature and properties of social groups, institutions, facts, and objects like money and marriage, have been thoroughly discussed. However, the historical perspective has been largely neglected. One of the central aims of this volume is to show that relevant views on social ontology can be found in medieval and early modern philosophy (ca. 1200-1700 C.E.), when, for example, the ontological status of money, law, and the sacraments was hotly debated. We see, furthermore, diverging positions between Aristotelian-inspired authors, who resort to a more naturalistic view of the emergence of the social realm, and authors like Olivi and Ockham, who emphasize the role of human free will and contractualist agreements.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is the very first to address historical and contemporary social ontologies.

 Ethics and Research with Young Children New Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞As researchers and theorists, teachers and teacher educators, parents and grandparents and advocates for children, the authors featured in ＜em＞Ethics and Research with Young Children＜/em＞ share a common inclination to counter the idea of an ethics that is conventional-i.e., an ethics that reinforces existing models and discourses, which position children as irrational and incompetent; that de-anonymize children's ways of working and being in the world; that reduces and distorts the social, cultural and political forces that shape children's everyday realities; and, that routinely subtracts from these realities the complex responsibilities that adults have (especially as researchers) to recognize ethics as situated, relational, intersectional, and provisional. Aligned with the interdisciplinary commitments of a Childhood Studies approach and informed by a range of theoretical and practical frameworks, the perspectives offered in this volume are grounded in relationships between and among adults and children, their shifting social, cultural, political and material realities, and a world of ideas and experiences that impel them to face and reorient their ethical commitments to each other.＜/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。 | 5,100円 |
 An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision Challenging Perspectives on Visual Perception and Reality【電子書籍】[ George Berkeley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision," George Berkeley delves into the intricate relationship between perception and reality, challenging established notions of vision and its dependence on physical objects. Employing a combination of empirical observation and philosophical argumentation, Berkeley articulates his innovative theory that our understanding of distance, size, and shape is fundamentally shaped by visual experience rather than a direct correspondence to external forms. This work is notable for its clarity and precision, employing a form of writing that balances rigorous analysis with accessibility, situating Berkeley within the broader context of early modern philosophy, particularly in relation to empiricism and metaphysics. George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and bishop, was a pioneering figure in the development of idealism and is often linked to the early stages of modern philosophy. His interest in the nature of perception can be traced back to a lifelong engagement with questions regarding reality and its representation. Throughout his career, Berkeley remained steadfast in his belief that vision is a constructive process, influenced by the observer's experience rather than mere sensory input, illuminating the philosophical debates of his time regarding the existence of the material world. Readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and perception will find Berkeley's work both thought-provoking and essential. This essay invites readers to reconsider their understanding of sight and reality, ultimately encouraging a deeper inquiry into the nature of human experience. Berkeley'??s arguments resonate with contemporary discussions in philosophy and cognitive science, making this book a timeless resource for anyone seeking to explore the complexities of vision.＜/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 Biolinguistic Enterprise New Perspectives on the Evolution and Nature of the Human Language Faculty【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book, by leading scholars, represents some of the main work in progress in biolinguistics. It offers fresh perspectives on language evolution and variation, new developments in theoretical linguistics, and insights on the relations between variation in language and variation in biology. The authors address the Darwinian questions on the origin and evolution of language from a minimalist perspective, and provide elegant solutions to the evolutionary gap between human language and communication in all other organisms. They consider language variation in the context of current biological approaches to species diversity - the 'evo-devo revolution' - which bring to light deep homologies between organisms. In dispensing with the classical notion of syntactic parameters, the authors argue that language variation, like biodiversity, is the result of experience and thus not a part of the language faculty in the narrow sense. They also examine the nature of this core language faculty, the primary categories with which it is concerned, the operations it performs, the syntactic constraints it poses on semantic interpretation and the role of phases in bridging the gap between brain and syntax. Written in language accessible to a wide audience, ＜em＞The Biolinguistic Enterprise＜/em＞ will appeal to scholars and students of linguistics, cognitive science, biology, and natural language processing.＜/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。 | 7,057円 |
