Trading with the Enemy The Making of US Export Control Policy toward the People's Republic of China【電子書籍】[ Hugo Meijer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, <em>Trading with the Enemy</em> examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979. <em>Trading with the Enemy</em> is the first monograph on this dimension of the US-China relationship in the post-Cold War. Based on 199 interviews, declassified documents, and diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks, two major findings emerge from this book. First, the US is no longer able to apply a strategy of military/technology containment of China in the same way it did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This is because of the erosion of its capacity to restrict the transfer of military-related technology to the PRC. Secondly, a growing number of actors in Washington have reassessed the nexus between national security and economic interests at stake in the US-China relationship - by moving beyond the Cold War trade-off between the two - in order to maintain American military preeminence vis-?-vis its strategic rivals. By focusing on how states manage the heterogeneous and potentially competing security and economic interests at stake in a bilateral relationship, this book seeks to shed light on the evolving character of interstate rivalry in a globalized economy, where rivals in the military realm are also economically interdependent.</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。 6,365円

The Disordered Mind What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves【電子書籍】[ Eric R. Kandel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A Nobel Prize?winning neuroscientist’s probing investigation of what brain disorders can tell us about human nature</strong></p> <p>Eric R. Kandel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his foundational research into memory storage in the brain, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts.</p> <p>In his seminal new book, <em>The Disordered Mind</em>, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain? The brain’s 86 billion neurons communicate with one another through very precise connections. But sometimes those connections are disrupted. The brain processes that give rise to our mind can become disordered, resulting in diseases such as autism, depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. While these disruptions bring great suffering, they can also reveal the mysteries of how the brain produces our most fundamental experiences and capabilitiesーthe very nature of what it means to be human. Studies of autism illuminate the neurological foundations of our social instincts; research into depression offers important insights on emotions and the integrity of the self; and paradigm-shifting work on addiction has led to a new understanding of the relationship between pleasure and willpower.</p> <p>By studying disruptions to typical brain functioning and exploring their potential treatments, we will deepen our understanding of thought, feeling, behavior, memory, and creativity. Only then can we grapple with the big question of how billions of neurons generate consciousness itself.</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。 1,733円

Curious about George Curious George, Cultural Icons, Colonialism, and US Exceptionalism【電子書籍】[ Rae Lynn Schwartz-DuPre ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1940, Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey built two bikes, packed what they could, and fled wartime Paris. Among the possessions they escaped with was a manuscript that would later become one of the most celebrated books in children’s literatureー<em>Curious George</em>. Since his debut in 1941, the mischievous icon has only grown in popularity. After being captured in Africa by the Man in the Yellow Hat and taken to live in the big city’s zoo, Curious George became a symbol of curiosity, adventure, and exploration. In <em>Curious about George: Curious George, Cultural Icons, Colonialism, and US Exceptionalism</em>, author Rae Lynn Schwartz-DuPre argues that the beloved character also performs within a narrative of racism, colonialism, and heroism.</p> <p>Using theories of colonial and rhetorical studies to explain why cultural icons like Curious George are able to avoid criticism, Schwartz-DuPre investigates the ways these characters operate as capacious figures, embodying and circulating the narratives that construct them, and effectively argues that discourses about George provide a rich training ground for children to learn US citizenship and become innocent supporters of colonial American exceptionalism. By drawing on postcolonial theory, children’s criticisms, science and technology studies, and nostalgia, Schwartz-DuPre’s critical reading explains the dismissal of the monkey’s 1941 abduction from Africa and enslavement in the US, described in the first book, by illuminating two powerful roles he currently holds: essential STEM ambassador at a time when science and technology is central to global competitiveness and as a World War II refugee who offers a “deficient” version of the Holocaust while performing model US immigrant. Curious George’s twin heroic roles highlight racist science and an Americanized Holocaust narrative. By situating George as a representation of enslaved Africans and Holocaust refugees, <em>Curious about George</em> illuminates the danger of contemporary zero-sum identity politics, the colonization of marginalized identities, and racist knowledge production. Importantly, it demonstrates the ways in which popular culture can be harnessed both to promote colonial benevolence and to present possibilities for resistance.</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。 3,256円

Reagan, Congress, and Human Rights Contesting Morality in US Foreign Policy【電子書籍】[ Rasmus Sinding S?ndergaard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book traces the role of human rights concerns in US foreign policy during the 1980s, focusing on the struggle among the Reagan administration and members of Congress. It demonstrates how congressional pressure led the administration to reconsider its approach to human rights and craft a conservative human rights policy centered on democracy promotion and anti-communism - a decision which would have profound implications for American attention to human rights. Based on extensive archival research and interviews, Rasmus Sinding S?ndergaard combines a comprehensive overview of human rights in American foreign relations with in-depth case studies of how human rights shaped US foreign policy toward Soviet Jewry, South African apartheid, and Nicaragua. Tracing the motivations behind human rights activism, this book demonstrates how liberals, moderates, and conservatives selectively invoked human rights to further their agendas, ultimately contributing to the establishment of human rights as a core moral language in US foreign policy.</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。 6,252円

US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy The Evolution of an Incidental Superpower【電子書籍】[ Derek S. Reveron ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Safe from the battlefields of Europe and Asia, the United States led the post?World War II global economic recovery through international assistance and foreign direct investment. With an ardent decolonization agenda and a postwar legitimacy, the United States attempted to construct a world characterized by cooperation. When American optimism clashed with Soviet expansionism, the United States started on a path to global hegemony.</p> <p>In US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy, the authors analyze the strategic underpinnings of hegemony, assess the national security establishment that sustains dominance, consider the impact on civil-military relations, and explore the intertwining relationships between foreign policy, defense strategy, and commercial activities. Eschewing conventional analyses, the volume not only identifies drivers and continuities in foreign policy, but it also examines how the legacy of the last sixty-five years will influence future national security policy that will be characterized by US leadership in an increasingly competitive world.</p> <p>From civil-military relations to finance, and from competing visions of how America should make war to its philosophy of securing peace through reconstruction and reconciliation, US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy offers unique insights into the links between military and commercial power as it charts the rise of a historical rarity: the incidental superpower. This accessibly written book is suitable for students and general readers as well as scholars.</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。 4,560円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "India: What Can It Teach Us?", F. Max M?ller embarks on a profound exploration of Indian philosophy, culture, and spirituality, arguing for the richness and depth of India's contributions to global thought. The book is characterized by M?ller's elegant prose and scholarly rigor, as he juxtaposes Western paradigms with Eastern wisdom, illustrating how Indian thought can illuminate issues of morality, ethics, and the nature of existence. Throughout the text, M?ller employs a comparative literary style that entertains while educating, inviting readers to reconsider the philosophical foundations of their own beliefs in the context of Indian traditions like Vedanta and Buddhism. Friedrich Max M?ller was a pioneering philologist and indologist, renowned for his work in translating and interpreting ancient Indian texts. His deep engagement with Sanskrit literature and his formative experiences in both Germany and India shaped his understanding of the intricate relationship between language, culture, and spirituality. M?ller's passion for fostering cross-cultural dialogue and his belief in the transformative power of Indian wisdom led him to compile this work, aiming to bridge the East and West intellectually and ethically. This book is a must-read for scholars of comparative religion, philosophy, and anyone interested in the intersection of Eastern and Western thought. M?ller's insightful observations provide not only an understanding of India's spiritual depth but also a call for introspection and integration of these lessons into contemporary life. Readers will find themselves challenged and enriched by the ideas presented, making it a vital addition to any library.</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。 300円

18th Edition US Army Operational Law Handbook【電子書籍】[ United States Government US Army ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This publication, the 18th Edition US Army Operational Law Handbook, is a “how to” guide for Judge Advocates practicing operational law. It provides references and describes tactics and techniques for the practice of operational law. The Operational Law Handbook is not a substitute for official references. Like operational law itself, the Handbook is a focused collection of diverse legal and practical information. The handbook is not intended to provide “the school solution” to a particular problem, but to help Judge Advocates recognize, analyze, and resolve problems they will encounter in the operational context.</p> <p>The Handbook was designed and written for junior and mid-level Judge Advocates practicing operational law. The size and contents of the Handbook are controlled by this focus. Frequently, the authors were forced to strike a balance between the temptation to include more information and the need to retain the Handbook in its current size and configuration. Simply put, the Handbook is made for the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen of the military Judge Advocate Generals’ Corps, who serve alongside their clients in the operational context. Accordingly, the Operational Law Handbook is compatible with current joint and combined doctrine. Unless otherwise stated, masculine pronouns apply to both men and women.</p> <p>The proponent for this publication is the International and Operational Law Department, The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS).</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。 1,627円

Eagles Overhead The History of US Air Force Forward Air Controllers, from the Meuse-Argonne to Mosul【電子書籍】[ Matt Dietz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>US Air Force Forward Air Controllers (FACs) bridge the gap between air and land power. They operate in the grey area of the battlefield, serving as an aircrew who flies above the battlefield, spots the enemy, and relays targeting information to control close air support attacks by other faster aircraft. When done well, Air Force FACs are the fulcrum for successful employment of air power in support of ground forces. Unfortunately, FACs in recent times have been shunned by both ground and air forces, their mission complicated by inherent difficulty and danger, as well as by the vicissitudes of defense budgets, technology, leadership, bureaucracy, and doctrine. Eagles Overhead is the first complete historical survey of the US Air Force FAC program from its origins in World War I to the modern battlefield. Matt Dietz examines their role, status, and performance in every US Air Force air campaign from the Marne in 1918, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and finally Mosul in 2017. With the remaking of the post-Vietnam US military, and the impact of those changes on FAC, the Air Force began a steady neglect of the FAC mission from Operation Desert Storm, through the force reductions after the Soviet Union’s collapse, and into the post 9-11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eagles Overhead asks why FACs have not been heavily used on US battlefields since 2001, despite their warfighting importance. Dietz examines the Air Force FAC’s theoretical, doctrinal, institutional, and historical frameworks to assess if the nature of air warfare has changed so significantly that the concept and utility of the FAC has been left behind. From these examinations, Eagles Overhead draws conclusions about the potential future of Air Force FACs.</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

The Chemistry Between Us Love, Sex, and the Science of Attraction【電子書籍】[ Brian Alexander ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How much control do we have over love? Much less than we like to think. All that mystery, all that poetry, all those complex behaviors surrounding human bonding leading to the most life-changing decisions we’ll ever make, are unconsciously driven by a few molecules in our brains.</strong></p> <p>How does love begin? How can two strangers come to the conclusion that it would not only be pleasant to share their lives, but that they <em>must</em> share them? How can a man say he loves his wife, yet still cheat on her? Why do others stay in relationships even after the romance fades? How is it possible to fall in love with the “wrong” person? How do people come to have a “type”?</p> <p>Physical attraction, jealousy, infidelity, mother-infant bondingーall the behaviors that so often leave us befuddledーare now being teased out of the fog of mystery thanks to today’s social neuroscience. Larry Young, one of the world’s leading experts in the field, and journalist Brian Alexander explain how those findings apply to you.</p> <p>Drawing on real human stories and research from labs around the world, <em>The Chemistry Between Us</em> is a bold attempt to create a “grand unified theory” of love. Some of the mind-blowing insights include:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Love can get such a grip on us because it is, literally, an addiction.</p> </li> <li> <p>To a woman falling in love, a man is like her baby.</p> </li> <li> <p>Why it’s false to say society makes gender, and how it’s possible to have the body of one gender and the brain of another.</p> </li> <li> <p>Why some people are more likely to cheat than others.</p> </li> <li> <p>Why we sometimes truly can’t resist temptation.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Young and Alexander place their revelations into historical, political, and social contexts. In the process, they touch on everything from gay marriage to why single-mother households might not be good for society. <em>The Chemistry Between Us</em> offers powerful insights into love, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and family life that will prove to be enlightening, controversial, and thought provoking.</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。 2,281円

Surviving Modern Yoga Cult Dynamics, Charismatic Leaders, and What Survivors Can Teach Us【電子書籍】[ Matthew Remski ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**Grounded in investigative research and real survivor stories, <em>Surviving Modern Yoga</em> uncovers the physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by Ashtanga yoga leader Pattabhi Joisーand reckons with the culture, structures, and mythos that enabled it.</p> <p>The revised edition of <em>Practice and All is Coming</em> from Conspirituality co-host Matthew Remski**</p> <p>Yoga culture sells well-meaning westerners the full package: physical health, good vibes, and spiritual growth. Here, investigative journalist Matthew Remski explores how cultic dynamics, institutional self-interest, and spiritualized indifference collude to obscure the truth: Harm happens in plain sight.</p> <p>Through in-depth interviews, insider analysis, and Remski’s own history with high-demand groups, <em><strong>Surviving Modern Yoga</strong></em> brings to light how we’re each susceptible to cult abuse and exploitation. He shows how, with the right kind of situational vulnerability and the wrong kind of guru, the ideas we hold close about ourselvesーlike <em>It wouldn’t happen to me</em> or <em>I’d speak up for victims</em>ーfail to protect us.</p> <p>Remski reckons with his own complicity in spiritual power dynamics, and shares how a process of disillusionment allowed him to recognize harm. He does the same for readers, peeling back the veneer of yoga marketing to reveal the abuse, assault, and silencing perpetrated against seekers who trusted Jois as a mentor, their <em>guruji</em>ーeven a father figure. Each survivor speaks in their own words, on their own terms, reclaiming agency against an insular, in-group culture that enabled a charismatic leader’s devastating harmーand positioned him as its only remedy.</p> <p><em><strong>Surviving Modern Yoga</strong></em> also includes practical tools to help readers:</p> <ul> <li>Understand how high-demand groups trap would-be targets</li> <li>Evaluate their own situational vulnerabilities</li> <li>Learn to listen for loaded, red-flag language</li> <li>Cultivate their literacy of cult tactics</li> </ul>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。 3,120円

Engineering Management for the Rest of Us【電子書籍】[ Sarah Drasner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A lot of Engineering Managers and leaders studied for years and years to become the best Engineer they possibly could be... and then they were promoted.</p> <p>It can be very tough for those of us who didn't go into Engineering with the distinct concept that we would become managers, but still want to do our best to support our teams.</p> <p>I wrote this book because there's so much no one told me about management that I wished I would have known. There's a lot to be purposeful about that many of us learn on the job, and worse: learn on people. This book provides some organization for collaborating with networks of people, working together towards a common purpose.</p> <p>There seem to be millions of articles and "how to"s on programming and only a handful of resources on Engineering Management- why? It's very tough to talk about something that involves people processes. People are non-deterministic. Working relationships are nuanced, communication is linked with individual values, motivations, power dynamics, and skills. People also have a range of experiences and emotions that are not consistent day-to-day.</p> <p>Hopefully, in the happiest, most productive sense.</p> <p>It's imperative that we as managers learn as much as we can and work on ourselves, so that our teams may enjoy a healthy working life and strong relationships. It's not just important, it's crucial that we iterate on our own skills as managers so that we can properly support everyone around us: individuals, peers, leadership, and the business.</p> <p>I'm sharing what I've learned- not so that you follow my concepts exactly, but rather so that you can be thoughtful about your own leadership and needs. The book goes from the macro to the micro- with topics ranging everywhere from "feedback" to "scoping down PRs".</p> <p>Though the book is meant to address people in management, individual contributors are welcome to read the book as well- perhaps you need to manage up and need some tools to help guide the conversation, perhaps you just want a peek at other concerns within the business- everyone is invited to the conversation.</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。 1,383円

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All【電子書籍】[ Eliezer Yudkowsky ]

Since then, the AI race has only intensified. Companies and countries are rushing to build machines that will be smarter than any person. And the world is devastatingly unprepared for what would come next.</p> <p>For decades, two signatories of that letterーEliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soaresーhave studied how smarter-than-human intelligences will think, behave, and pursue their objectives. Their research says that sufficiently smart AIs will develop goals of their own that put them in conflict with usーand that if it comes to conflict, an artificial superintelligence would crush us. The contest wouldn’t even be close.</p> <p>How could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Why would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.</p> <p>The world is racing to build something truly new under the sun. And if anyone builds it, everyone dies.</p> <p><strong>“The best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I've ever read.”ーYishan Wong, Former CEO of Reddit</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。 1,954円

Things That Keep Us Busy The Elements of Interaction【電子書籍】[ Lars-Erik Janlert ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An investigation of interactivity, interfaces and their design, and the webs of complex interactions that result.</strong></p> <p>We are surrounded by interactive devices, artifacts, and systems. The general assumption is that interactivity is goodーthat it is a positive feature associated with being modern, efficient, fast, flexible, and in control. Yet there is no very precise idea of what interaction is and what interactivity means. In this book, Lars-Erik Janlert and Erik Stolterman investigate the elements of interaction and how they can be defined and measured. They focus on interaction with digital artifacts and systems but draw inspiration from the broader, everyday sense of the word.</p> <p>Viewing the topic from a design perspective, Janlert and Stolterman take as their starting point the interface, which is designed to implement the interaction. They explore how the interface has changed over time, from a surface with knobs and dials to clickable symbols to gestures to the absence of anything visible. Janlert and Stolterman examine properties and qualities of designed artifacts and systems, primarily those that are open for manipulation by designers, considering such topics as complexity, clutter, control, and the emergence of an expressive-impressive style of interaction. They argue that only when we understand the basic concepts and terms of interactivity and interaction will we be able to discuss seriously its possible futures.</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

Adaptable How Your Unique Body Really Works and Why Our Biology Unites Us【電子書籍】[ Herman Pontzer PhD ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A new understanding of how our bodies work, how to keep them healthy, and how our biological diversity unites us rather than divides us</strong></p> <p>How does the body workーand why does it seem to work so differently for each of us? Why do we grow tall or short, obese or slim? Why do some of us stay healthy despite our bad habits while others who do all the right things fall ill? When we look around the planet, why do people vary in skin color, facial features, stature, body proportions, and disease risk?<br /> The answer is both simple and powerful: We’re different because we’re adaptable. Over the past 100,000 years, as humans expanded into every biome on the planet, our bodies were fine-tuned to our local environments. Adaptability is at the heart of being human and the engine of our diversity ? our species’ original superpower. As an evolutionary anthropologist working with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has conducted research that embraces our incredible diversity, documenting the connections among lifestyle, landscape, local adaptations, and health.<br /> <em>Adaptable</em> takes us on a tour of the human body. In each chapter, we learn how our bodies navigate an uncertain world: how we grow and mature; how our brains develop and learn; how our hearts, lungs, and digestive systems deliver oxygen and nutrients; how we manage toxins, temperature, and water balance; how we move and reproduce; how our immune system keeps invaders at bay; and how we age and decline. Along the way, we learn how to take care of our remarkable bodies, and that the universe of healthy lifestyles is vast (we don’t need the latest fad diet or cleanse!). Crucially, we come to see how understanding our bodies helps us make sense of the big issues we face today, from vaccines to heart disease, IQ to athletic excellence, diets and obesity to sex and gender, and what we can do to live longer and healthier.</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。 2,587円
