 Art History A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Dana Arnold ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Art history encompasses the study of the history and development of painting, sculpture and the other visual arts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up art history. Beginning with a consideration of what art history is, she explains what makes the subject distinctive from other fields of study, and also explores the emergence of social histories of art (such as Feminist Art History and Queer Art History). Using a wide range of images, she goes on to explore key aspects of the discipline including how we write, present, read, and look at art, and the impact this has on our understanding of art history. This second edition includes a new chapter on global art histories, considering how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles in art originated in western art and can obscure other critical approaches and artwork from non-western cultures. Arnold also discusses the relationship between art and history, and the ways in which art can tell a different history from the one narrated by texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.＜/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。 | 1,095円 |

 The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky【電子書籍】[ Fyodor Dostoevsky ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes as in his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tender and romantic ＜strong＞White Nights＜/strong＞, an archetypal nineteenth-century morality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous ＜strong＞Notes from the Underground＜/strong＞, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromising cynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in ＜strong＞The Honest Thief＜/strong＞, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.＜/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。 | 781円 |
 Socrates A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ C.C.W. Taylor ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Socrates has a unique position in the history of philosophy; it is no exaggeration to say that had it not been for his influence on Plato, the whole development of Western philosophy might have been unimaginably different. Yet Socrates wrote nothing himself, and our knowledge of him is derived primarily from the engaging and infuriating figure who appears in Plato's dialogues. In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Taylor explores the life of Socrates and his philosophical activity, before looking to the responses his philosophical doctrines have evoked in the centuries since his betrayal and execution at fellow Athenian hands. Examining the relationship between the historical Socrates and the Platonic character, Taylor considers the complex question of how far it is possible to distinguish the philosopher's own thought from that of those others who wrote about him, and explores the enduring image of Socrates as the ideal exemplar of the philosophic life - a thinker whose moral and intellectual integrity permeated every detail of his life. This new edition also includes a new chapter analysing the reception and influence of Socrates in 19th and 20th century philosophical thought.

 Social Work A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Sally Holland ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Social workers spend their time trying to ease social suffering. They encounter the extreme casualties of social inequality: the victims of poverty, illness, addiction, and abuse; they work with abusers and offenders; and operate in the space between the State and the poor or marginalized. Social work is replete with vivid human stories: the troubled teenage boy who cannot settle in a foster home; the frail older woman who is desperate for social contact; the community seeking a way to tackle gang violence; the sex offender leaving prison; and the disputed territory of international adoption. Social work therefore holds a fundamental importance throughout the modern world. In this Very Short Introduction, Sally Holland and Jonathan Scourfield explain what social work is and look at its rich historical development. Reflecting international human stories of social problems and social work relationships, as well as the philosophies behind the practice and the evidence about what works throughout the world, they look at the various definitions, history, and debates about purpose and effectiveness, theory, and methods. Including wide ranging examples of social work practice around the world and within particular population groups, they reflect the international variation of social work theory and practice, as well as highlighting all of the main controversies and debates.

 The Heart of Denise, and Other Tales Exploring Love, Loss, and Redemption in Captivating Short Tales【電子書籍】[ S. Levett Yeats ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Heart of Denise, and Other Tales," S. Levett Yeats weaves a compelling collection of narratives that explore the intricacies of human emotion and experience. Through a rich tapestry of characters and settings, Yeats employs a lyrical prose style, blending the ornate with the introspective, and reflects the societal mores of early 20th-century England. The stories delve deeply into themes of love, loss, and the often tumultuous journey of self-discovery, resonating with the existential inquiries prominent in literary modernism. S. Levett Yeats was an English author and poet, whose background in the arts and keen understanding of human psychology informed his literary creations. The influences of his own personal experiences, including his engagements in theater and commentary on social issues, imbue his tales with a profound sense of realism and empathy. Yeats's works are considered a bridge between the Victorian literary tradition and the modernist movement, making his narratives both reflective of their time and timeless in their exploration of human nature. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate nuanced character studies and poetic prose, offering insights into the human condition that are as relevant today as they were at the time of writing. "The Heart of Denise" is not merely a book of stories, but an invitation to ponder the complexities of desire, belonging, and the heart's enduring aspirations.＜/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 Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended" is an essential read for scholars of history and enthusiasts of the interplay between science and the humanities.

 THE UNCOLLECTED TALES OF 1926-1934 (38 Short Stories in One Edition)【電子書籍】[ F. Scott Fitzgerald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Uncollected Tales of 1926-1934' is a compilation of 38 short stories that showcase the author's signature style of capturing the essence of the Jazz Age. Each story provides a snapshot of the era, with themes such as wealth, class, and the disillusionment that came with the American Dream. Fitzgerald's prose is elegant and evocative, transporting the reader back to a time of excess and glamour. This collection serves as a valuable addition to the literary world, shedding light on lesser-known works by one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. F. Scott Fitzgerald's own experiences in the Roaring Twenties likely inspired his exploration of these themes in 'The Uncollected Tales of 1926-1934'. As a prominent figure in the Lost Generation, Fitzgerald's insights into the human condition and societal changes of the time are reflected in his writing. His personal struggles and observations of the high society he inhabited lend authenticity and depth to these stories. I highly recommend 'The Uncollected Tales of 1926-1934' to readers interested in delving deeper into Fitzgerald's diverse body of work, or those looking for a compelling glimpse into the cultural landscape of the 1920s and 1930s. This collection captures the essence of the era and exemplifies Fitzgerald's talent as a master storyteller.＜/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 Welfare State A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ David Garland ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Welfare states vary across nations and change over time. And the balance between markets and government; free enterprise and social protection is perennially in question. But all developed societies have welfare states of one kind or another - they are a fundamental dimension of modern government. And even after decades of free-market criticism and reform, their core institutions have proven resilient and popular. This Very Short Introduction describes the modern welfare state, explaining its historical and contemporary significance and arguing that far from being 'a failure' or 'a problem', welfare states are an essential element of contemporary capitalism, and a vital concomitant of democratic government. In this accessible and entertaining account, David Garland cuts through the fog of misunderstandings to explain in clear and simple terms, what welfare states are, how they work, and why they matter.

 Big Data A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Dawn E. Holmes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Since long before computers were even thought of, data has been collected and organized by diverse cultures across the world. Once access to the Internet became a reality for large swathes of the world's population, the amount of data generated each day became huge, and continues to grow exponentially. It includes all our uploaded documents, video, and photos, all our social media traffic, our online shopping, even the GPS data from our cars. 'Big Data' represents a qualitative change, not simply a quantitative one. The term refers both to the new technologies involved, and to the way it can be used by business and government. Dawn E. Holmes uses a variety of case studies to explain how data is stored, analysed, and exploited by a variety of bodies from big companies to organizations concerned with disease control. Big data is transforming the way businesses operate, and the way medical research can be carried out. At the same time, it raises important ethical issues; Holmes discusses cases such as the Snowden affair, data security, and domestic smart devices which can be hijacked by hackers.
