Ring of Power Symbols and Themes Love Vs. Power in Wagner's Ring Circle and in Us : A Jungian-Feminist Perspective【電子書籍】[ Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A vivid grasp of the story and the characters in "The Ring of Niebelung" brings Richard Wagner's mythic four-opera cycle to life. <em>The Ring Cycle</em> has a hold on our imagination like no other operatic work because it is archetypal and has the power of myth as well as music to reverberate in the psyche. Bolen shows how myth illuminates psychology, and more - <em>Ring of Power</em> goes beyond the psychology of the individual, revealing dysfunctional families and patriarchal institutions.</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。

The Whole Armor of God How Christ's Victory Strengthens Us for Spiritual Warfare【電子書籍】[ Iain M. Duguid ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"A battle manual for every Christian." ーSinclair B. Ferguson</strong></p> <p>The Christian life is a battle. We are in a daily struggle against the world, sin, and Satan.</p> <p>But God didn't leave us to fend for ourselves. He gave us his own armorーarmor that Jesus has already worn on our behalf all the way to the cross. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is now at work inside of us. This book unpacks each of the pieces of spiritual armor Paul describes in Ephesians 6, inviting us to take up the armor each day, all while resting in the finished victory of Christ and the assurance that our strength for the battle comes from him.</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。

Gender Outlaw On Men, Women and the Rest of Us【電子書籍】[ Kate Bornstein ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**“I know I’m not a man ... and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m probably not a woman, either.... The trouble is, we’re living in a world that insists we be one or the other.” With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers readers on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity.</p> <p>With a new introduction by the author**</p> <p>On one level, <em>Gender Outlaw</em> details Bornstein’s transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.</p> <p><em>Gender Outlaw</em> was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. Now, some twenty-odd years later, this book stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary workーone that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders of the gender frontier.</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。

<p>**"Vaclav Smil is my favorite author… <em>Numbers Don't Lie</em> takes everything that makes his writing great and boils it down into an easy-to-read format. I unabashedly recommend this book to anyone who loves learning."ーBill Gates, <em>GatesNotes</em></p> <p>From the author of <em>How the World Really Works</em>, an essential guide to understanding how numbers reveal the true state of our worldーexploring a wide range of topics including energy, the environment, technology, transportation, and food production.**</p> <p>Vaclav Smil's mission is to make facts matter. An environmental scientist, policy analyst, and a hugely prolific author, he is Bill Gates' go-to guy for making sense of our world. In <em>Numbers Don't Lie</em>, Smil answers questions such as: What's worse for the environmentーyour car or your phone? How much do the world's cows weigh (and what does it matter)? And what makes people happy?</p> <p>From data about our societies and populations, through measures of the fuels and foods that energize them, to the impact of transportation and inventions of our modern worldーand how all of this affects the planet itselfーin <em>Numbers Don't Lie</em>, Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge conventional thinking. Packed with fascinating information and memorable examples, <em>Numbers Don't Lie</em> reveals how the US is leading a rising worldwide trend in chicken consumption, that vaccination yields the best return on investment, and why electric cars aren't as great as we think (yet). Urgent and essential, with a mix of science, history, and witーall in bite-sized chapters on a broad range of topicsー<em>Numbers Don't Lie</em> inspires readers to interrogate what they take to be true.</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。

Stopping the Next Pandemic How Covid-19 Can Help Us Save Humanity【電子書籍】[ Debora MacKenzie ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"MacKenzie's fascinating book gives us the scope and scale to be able to put this pandemic in perspective and, it begs the question, will we learn from this in time to prevent to next one?" ーMolly Caldwell Crosby, Bestselling author of <em>The American Plague</em></strong></p> <p><strong>In a gripping, accessible narrative, a veteran science journalist lays out the shocking story of how the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic happened and how to make sure this never happens again</strong></p> <p>Over the last 30 years of epidemics and pandemics, we learned nearly every lesson needed to stop this coronavirus outbreak in its tracks. We heeded almost none of them. The result is a pandemic on a scale never before seen in our lifetimes. In this captivating, authoritative, and eye-opening book, science journalist Debora MacKenzie lays out the full story of how and why it happened: the previous viruses that should have prepared us, the shocking public health failures that paved the way, the failure to contain the outbreak, and most importantly, what we must do to prevent future pandemics.</p> <p>Debora MacKenzie has been reporting on emerging diseases for more than three decades, and she draws on that experience to explain how COVID-19 went from a potentially manageable outbreak to a global pandemic. Offering a compelling history of the most significant recent outbreaks, including SARS, MERS, H1N1, Zika, and Ebola, she gives a crash course in Epidemiology 101--how viruses spread and how pandemics endーand outlines the lessons we failed to learn from each past crisis. In vivid detail, she takes us through the arrival and spread of COVID-19, making clear the steps that governments knew they could have taken to prevent or at least prepare for this. Looking forward, MacKenzie makes a bold, optimistic argument: this pandemic might finally galvanize the world to take viruses seriously. Fighting this pandemic and preventing the next one will take political action of all kinds, globally, from governments, the scientific community, and individualsーbut it is possible.</p> <p>No one has yet brought together our knowledge of COVID-19 in a comprehensive, informative, and accessible way. But that story can already be told, and Debora MacKenzie's urgent telling is required reading for these times and beyond. It is too early to say where the COVID-19 pandemic will go, but it is past time to talk about what went wrong and how we can do better.</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。

Arguing for a Better World How Philosophy Can Help Us Fight for Social Justice【電子書籍】[ Arianne Shahvisi ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Is it sexist to say that “men are trash”? Can white people be victims of racism? Do we bear any individual responsibility for climate change?</strong></p> <p>We’ve all wrestled with questions like these, whether we’re shouting at a relative across the dinner table, quarreling with old classmates on social media, or chatting late into the night with friends. Many people give kneejerk answers that roughly align with their broader belief system, but flounder when asked for their reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemateーespecially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide.</p> <p>The truth is that our answers to these questions almost always rely on unexamined assumptions. In <em>Arguing for a Better World</em>, philosopher Arianne Shahvisi shows us how to work through thorny moral questions by examining their parts in broad daylight, equipping us to not only identify our own positions but to defend them as well. This book demonstrates the relevance of philosophy to our everyday lives, and offers some clear-eyed tools to those who want to learn how to better fight for justice and liberation for all.</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。

The World Without Us【電子書籍】[ Alan Weisman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>A penetrating, page-turning tour of a post-human Earth</em></p> <p>In <em>The World Without Us,</em> Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanity's impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us.In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and finally vanish without human presence; which everyday items may become immortalized as fossils; how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, radio waves, and some man-made molecules may be our most lasting gifts to the universe.<br /> <em>The World Without Us</em> reveals how, just days after humans disappear, floods in New York's subways would start eroding the city's foundations, and how, as the world's cities crumble, asphalt jungles would give way to real ones. It describes the distinct ways that organic and chemically treated farms would revert to wild, how billions more birds would flourish, and how cockroaches in unheated cities would perish without us. Drawing on the expertise of engineers, atmospheric scientists, art conservators, zoologists, oil refiners, marine biologists, astrophysicists, religious leaders from rabbis to the Dali Lama, and paleontologists---who describe a prehuman world inhabited by megafauna like giant sloths that stood taller than mammoths---Weisman illustrates what the planet might be like today, if not for us.<br /> From places already devoid of humans (a last fragment of primeval European forest; the Korean DMZ; Chernobyl), Weisman reveals Earth's tremendous capacity for self-healing. As he shows which human devastations are indelible, and which examples of our highest art and culture would endure longest, Weisman's narrative ultimately drives toward a radical but persuasive solution that needn't depend on our demise. It is narrative nonfiction at its finest, and in posing an irresistible concept with both gravity and a highly readable touch, it looks deeply at our effects on the planet in a way that no other book has.</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。

Without Conscience The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us【電子書籍】[ Robert D. Hare, PhD ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Most people are both repelled and intrigued by the images of cold-blooded, conscienceless murderers that increasingly populate our movies, television programs, and newspaper headlines.</strong> With their flagrant criminal violation of society's rules, serial killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy are among the most dramatic examples of the psychopath. Individuals with this personality disorder are fully aware of the consequences of their actions and know the difference between right and wrong, yet they are terrifyingly self-centered, remorseless, and unable to care about the feelings of others. Perhaps most frightening, they often seem completely normal to unsuspecting targets--and they do not always ply their trade by killing. Presenting a compelling portrait of these dangerous men and women based on 25 years of distinguished scientific research, Dr. Robert D. Hare vividly describes a world of con artists, hustlers, rapists, and other predators who charm, lie, and manipulate their way through life. Are psychopaths mad, or simply bad? How can they be recognized? And how can we protect ourselves? This book provides solid information and surprising insights for anyone seeking to understand this devastating condition.</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。

Free Agents How Evolution Gave Us Free Will【電子書籍】[ Kevin Mitchell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>An evolutionary case for the existence of free will</strong></p> <p>Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agencyーor free willーis an illusion. In <em>Free Agents</em>, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence to the contrary, arguing that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces but agents acting with purpose.</p> <p>Traversing billions of years of evolution, Mitchell tells the remarkable story of how living beings capable of choice arose from lifeless matter. He explains how the emergence of nervous systems provided a means to learn about the world, granting sentient animals the capacity to model, predict, and simulate. Mitchell reveals how these faculties reached their peak in humans with our abilities to imagine and to be introspective, to reason in the moment, and to shape our possible futures through the exercise of our individual agency. Mitchell’s argument has important implicationsーfor how we understand decision making, for how our individual agency can be enhanced or infringed, for how we think about collective agency in the face of global crises, and for how we consider the limitations and future of artificial intelligence.</p> <p>An astonishing journey of discovery, <em>Free Agents</em> offers a new framework for understanding how, across a billion years of Earth history, life evolved the power to choose, and why it matters.</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。

Financial Stability and Prudential Regulation A Comparative Approach to the UK, US, Canada, Australia and Germany【電子書籍】[ Alison Lui ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Financial stability is one of the key tenets of a central bank’s functions. Since the financial crisis of 2007-2009, an area of hot debate is the extent to which the central bank should be involved with prudential regulation.</p> <p>This book examines the macro and micro-prudential regulatory frameworks and systems of the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Canada and Germany. Drawing on the regulator frameworks of these regions, this book examines the central banks’ roles of crisis management, resolution and prudential regulation. Alison Lui compares the institutional structure of the new ‘twin-peaks’ model in the UK to the Australian model, and the multi-regulatory US model and the single regulatory Canadian model.</p> <p>The book also discusses the extent the central bank in these countries, as well as the ECB, are involved with financial stability, and argues that the institutional architecture and geographical closeness of the Bank of England and Financial Policy Committee give rise to the fear that the UK central bank may become another single super-regulator, which may provide the Bank of England with too much power. As a multi-regional, comparative study on the importance and effectiveness of prudential regulation, this book will be of great use and interest to students and researchers in finance and bank law, economics and banking.</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。

US Navy Atlanta-class Light Cruisers 1940?49【電子書籍】[ Mark Lardas ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A comprehensively illustrated account of the Atlanta-class cruisers, warships that found a surprising key role in the Pacific War as the US Navy's superb antiaircraft warships.</strong></p> <p>In the late 1930s, the US Navy created a class of small, light cruisers intended as a versatile destroyer leader. The Atlantas could provide antiaircraft support, lead and launch torpedo attacks, serve as antisubmarine vessels, and outgun other light warships in a surface engagement. The wartime reality was different. In every surface action they fought, they found themselves pitted against bigger cruisers (or even battleships) instead of the destroyers they were designed to defeat.</p> <p>In this book, naval historian Mark Lardas explains that despite their flaws, they proved one of the most useful warships in the US Navy: with a main battery of sixteen 5in guns, they proved to be superb antiaircraft cruisers. From the battle of Midway onwards, they protected the Navy's most valuable ships ? its aircraft carriers ? so effectively that later Atlantas were built to a modified design as specialist antiaircraft ships. The Navy even ordered a follow-on class postwar and considered building a “super-Atlanta,” armed only with heavy antiaircraft guns.</p> <p>Packed with illustrations, this book examines the history, development, and modifications of these unusual warships, and their impact on the Pacific War.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>During our chaotic times, discover five forgotten values that can spark internal growth and</strong> <strong>help us reconcile our Christian faith with the complexities of race, sexuality, and social justice.</strong></p> <p><strong>WINNER OF THE <em>CHRISTIANITY TODAY</em> BOOK AWARD</strong></p> <p>Most believers live in the state of “being a Christian” without ever being deeply formed by Christ. Our pace is too frenetic to be in union with God, and we don’t know how to quiet our hearts and minds to be present. Our emotions are unhealthy and compartmentalized. We feel unable to love well or live differently from the rest of the worldーto live as people of the good news.</p> <p>New York pastor Rich Villodas says we must restore balance, focus, and meaning for our souls. <em>The Deeply Formed Life</em> lays out a fresh vision for spiritual breakthrough following five key values:</p> <p><strong>? Contemplative Rhythms Value:</strong> slowing down our lives to be with God.<br /> <strong>? Racial Justice Value:</strong> examining a multi-layered approach to pursuing racial justice and reconciliation.<br /> <strong>? Interior Examination Value:</strong> looking beneath the surface of our lives to live free and love well.<br /> <strong>? Sexual Wholeness Value:</strong> exploring how our sexuality connects with our spirituality.<br /> <strong>? Missional Presence Value:</strong> living as the presence of Christ in a broken world.</p> <p><em>The Deeply Formed Life</em> is a roadmap to live in the richly rooted place we all yearn for: a place of communion with God, a place where we find our purpose.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>The Deeply Formed Life</em></strong></p> <p>“<em>The Deeply Formed Life</em> is a book for our time. Honest, wise, insightful, funny, andーabove allーdeep. The way Rich and New Life Fellowship hold emotional health and racial justice together is beyond inspiring. This is spiritual formation for the future of the church.”<strong>ーJohn Mark Comer, pastor of teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church and author of <em>The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry</em></strong></p> <p>“I’ve studied the Bible under Pastor Rich’s leadership for close to a decade. The core values he shares in this book serve as guidance, not only for how we should live as Christians in an ever-changing world but also for how we can live a life of purposeーthat consistently and enthusiastically points to Jesus.”<strong>ーSusan Kelechi Watson, actress from the awardwinning television series <em>This Is Us</em></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。

Am Vorabend von St. Bartholom?us: Historischer Roman【電子書籍】[ G. A. Henty ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Im Jahr 1567 gab es nur wenige St?dte in den s?dlichen Grafschaften Englands, in denen sich nicht eine mehr oder weniger gro?e Kolonie franz?sischer Protestanten befand. Drei?ig Jahre lang waren die Hugenotten st?ndigen und grausamen Verfolgungen ausgesetzt gewesen; viele Tausende waren von den Soldaten massakriert, auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt oder mit schrecklichen Folterungen zu Tode gebracht worden. F?nfzigtausend, so wurde errechnet, hatten trotz der strengsten Pr?ventionsma?nahmen ihre Heimat verlassen und waren ?ber die Grenzen gefl?chtet. Sie hatten sich gr??tenteils in den protestantischen Kantonen der Schweiz, in Holland oder England niedergelassen. Da viele derjenigen, die unsere K?sten erreichten, nur ?ber wenig Geld verf?gten, lie?en sie sich nat?rlich in den Landungsh?fen oder in deren N?he nieder. Canterbury war ein Ort, an dem viele der ungl?cklichen Auswanderer eine Heimat fanden. Hier hatten sich Gaspard Vaillant, seine Frau und ihre Schwester, die im Jahr 1547 an Land gegangen waren, niedergelassen. Sie geh?rten zu den ersten Ank?mmlingen, aber die franz?sische Kolonie wuchs allm?hlich, bis sie mehrere Hundert Menschen umfasste. Die Hugenotten waren in der Stadt sehr beliebt, sie wurden wegen ihres Ungl?cks bemitleidet und f?r den Mut bewundert, mit dem sie ihre Verluste ertrugen; sie machten sich an die Arbeit, jeder in seinem Beruf, wenn er einen hatte, oder wenn nicht, nahmen sie die erste Arbeit an, die sich ihnen bot. Sie waren ruhige und gottesf?rchtige Leute; sehr gut zueinander und zu ihren armen Landsleuten auf dem Weg von der K?ste nach London, indem sie sie nach Kr?ften unterhielten und sie mit Briefen an das Hugenottenkomitee in London weiterschickten, und mit gen?gend Geld in der Tasche, um ihre Reisekosten zu bezahlen und sie eine Weile zu versorgen, bis eine Arbeit f?r sie gefunden werden konnte. Gaspard Vaillant war ein Landbesitzer in der N?he von Civray im Poitou gewesen. Er war blutsverwandt mit mehreren adligen Familien in dieser Gegend und geh?rte zu den ersten, die die reformierte Religion angenommen hatten. Einige Jahre lang hatte man sich nicht um ihn gek?mmert, da sich die erste Wut der Verfolger auf die ?rmeren und wehrloseren Schichten richtete; doch als die Versuche von Franziskus, die neue Sekte auszurotten, scheiterten und sein Zorn gegen sie immer st?rker wurde, gerieten Personen aller St?nde unter den Bann. Die Gef?ngnisse f?llten sich mit Protestanten, die sich weigerten, ihre Irrt?mer zu bekennen; Soldaten wurden in den St?dten und D?rfern einquartiert, wo sie furchtbare Gr?ueltaten an den Protestanten ver?bten; und Gaspard, der keine Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten oder auf die Erlaubnis hatte, in Ruhe und Frieden seine Religion auszu?ben, sammelte, was er konnte, und machte sich mit seiner Frau und ihrer Schwester auf den Weg nach La Rochelle, von wo aus er ein Schiff nach London nahm. Da er den Trubel einer gro?en Stadt nicht mochte, wurde ihm von einigen seiner Landsleute empfohlen, nach Canterbury zu gehen, wo sich drei oder vier Fl?chtlinge aus seinem Landesteil niedergelassen hatten. Einer von ihnen war von Beruf Weber, hatte aber kein Geld, um Webst?hle herzustellen oder sich in seinem Beruf niederzulassen. Gaspard schloss sich ihm als Teilhaber an, indem er das wenige Kapital, das er gespart hatte, einsetzte; und da er ein kluger, klar denkender Mann war, ?bernahm er den gesch?ftlichen Teil des Unternehmens, w?hrend sein Partner Lequoc in der Manufaktur arbeitete.</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。

US Army 15-6 Report of Abuse of Prisoners in Iraq【電子書籍】[ Antonio M. Taguba ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the US Army 15-6 Report of Abuse of Prisoners in Iraq, Antonio M. Taguba presents a harrowing and detailed investigation into the allegations of prisoner abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison. Written in a formal but poignant style, the report is marked by clear, incisive prose that truthfully delineates the grim realities of conflict and the ethical boundaries transgressed by military personnel. Set against the backdrop of the Iraq War, this document is not merely a report; it serves as a vital historical narrative that echoes the larger themes of accountability and human rights within military operations, deeply entwined in contemporary discourses on U.S. foreign policy and civil liberties. General Antonio M. Taguba, a distinguished military officer of Filipino descent, played an instrumental role in uncovering the truth behind the abuses. His dedication to service and a strong sense of ethics compelled him to address the discrepancies and infractions committed under his command. Taguba's background in the military, combined with his unflinching commitment to justice, positions him as a pivotal figure in this dark chapter of history, providing a personal lens through which to view the broader implications of his findings. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in military ethics, human rights, and the intricate realities of war. Taguba's meticulous documentation not only sheds light on the events that transpired but also invites readers to reflect on the moral responsibilities of individuals in positions of power. Ideal for scholars, students, and general readers alike, it is a profound exploration of the consequences of inaction and the necessity for accountability.</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。

Despite our best intentions, there are common and avoidable mistakes that arise from folk wisdom, faulty assumptions about the world, and our own human biases. Cybersecurity implementations, investigations, and research all suffer as a result. Many of the bad practices sound logical, especially to people new to the field of cybersecurity, and that means they get adopted and repeated despite not being correct. For instance, why isn't the user the weakest link?</p> <p>In <em><strong>Cybersecurity Myths and Misconceptions: Avoiding the Hazards and Pitfalls that Derail Us</strong></em>, three cybersecurity pioneers don't just deliver the first comprehensive collection of falsehoods that derail security from the frontlines to the boardroom; they offer expert practical advice for avoiding or overcoming each myth.</p> <p>Whatever your cybersecurity role or experience, Eugene H. Spafford, Leigh Metcalf, and Josiah Dykstra will help you surface hidden dangers, prevent avoidable errors, eliminate faulty assumptions, and resist deeply human cognitive biases that compromise prevention, investigation, and research. Throughout the book, you'll find examples drawn from actual cybersecurity events, detailed techniques for recognizing and overcoming security fallacies, and recommended mitigations for building more secure products and businesses.</p> <ul> <li>Read over 175 common misconceptions held by users, leaders, and cybersecurity professionals, along with tips for how to avoid them.</li> <li>Learn the pros and cons of analogies, misconceptions about security tools, and pitfalls of faulty assumptions. What really is the weakest link? When aren't "best practices" best?</li> <li>Discover how others understand cybersecurity and improve the effectiveness of cybersecurity decisions as a user, a developer, a researcher, or a leader.</li> <li>Get a high-level exposure to why statistics and figures may mislead as well as enlighten.</li> <li>Develop skills to identify new myths as they emerge, strategies to avoid future pitfalls, and techniques to help mitigate them.</li> </ul> <p><em>"You are made to feel as if you would never fall for this and somehow this makes each case all the more memorable. . . . Read the book, laugh at the right places, and put your learning to work. You won't regret it."</em><br /> --From the Foreword by <strong>Vint Cerf</strong>, Internet Hall of Fame Pioneer</p> <p><em>Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Deglobalization China-US Rivalry in the Innovation Economy【電子書籍】[ Jon-Arild Johannessen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The emerging conflict between the US and China has an inherent tendency towards a development of deglobalization. It is the historical prerequisites for this deglobalization that are examined in this book. These assumptions are largely based on what is termed the second wave of globalization, based on increasing technological competition between the US and China, as well as China's expansion along the New Silk Road.</p> <p>In this book, the author makes a distinction between the Old Globalization and the New Globalization. The Old Globalization was characterized by competition over costs in general and wage costs in particular, while the New Globalization is categorized by new competencies and skills, especially technological capabilities and technological innovations. The second wave, which is driven by technological innovations, lays the foundation for a counter-strategy on the part of the US to stem the Chinese technological expansion. It is this new strategy that confines the second wave of globalization from China and lays the foundation for deglobalization.</p> <p>The book analyses US-China relations from a fresh perspective, namely a systemic thinking approach. The focus is the emerging innovation economy, which leads to tension and deglobalization. The book is grounded in evolutionary economics and uses conceptual generalization in its descriptions, analysis, theoretical reflections, and real-world cases.</p> <p>The key message is that the economy of the future will be characterized by coordinated wave movements: economic growth mainly controlled by private capital alternating with economic downturns that necessitate collective solutions and government interventions.The book offers policy suggestions, which include promoting effective macroeconomic policies, and extending microeconomic cooperation schemes, related to the innovation economy.</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。

US Agricultural and Food Policies Economic Choices and Consequences【電子書籍】[ Gerald D. Toland, Jr. ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Policy analysis is a dynamic process of discovery rather than a passive exercise of memorizing facts and conclusions. This text provides opportunities to "practice the craft" of policy analysis by engaging the reader in realistic case studies and problem-solving scenarios that require the selection and use of applicable investigative techniques.</p> <p>US Agricultural and Food Policies will assist undergraduate students to learn how policy choices impact the overall performance of agricultural and food markets. It encourages students to systematically investigate scenarios with appropriate positive and normative tools. The book emphasizes the importance of employing critical thinking skills to address the complexities associated with the design and implementation of twenty-first-century agricultural and food policies. Students are asked to suspend their personal opinions and emotions, and instead apply research methods that require the careful consideration of both facts and values. The opportunities to build these investigative skills are abundant when we consider the diversity of modern agricultural and food policy concerns.</p> <p>Featuring case studies and critical thinking exercises throughout and supported by a Companion Website with slides, a test bank, glossary, and web/video links, this is the ideal textbook for any agricultural policy class.</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。

Gasping for Air How Breathing Is Killing Us and What We Can Do about It【電子書籍】[ Kevin Glynn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Breathing is a continuous battle between our need for oxygen and forces in nature that attack our lungs. Three hundred thousand Americans will die of respiratory diseases this year. Gasping for Air is the dramatic story of how infections, toxins, carcinogens, and air pollution strike against one of our basic body functions. The book also describes how we come into the struggle with diseases like asthma, cystic fibrosis, and sleep apnea, which make us vulnerable to assaults on breathing from without and within.</p> <p>We have powerful weapons to defend breathing. Medical science, public health, engineering, and business, all play important roles in the effort to support breathing. Yet, Gasping for Air also reminds readers how breathing support has been at the eye of the storm in many ethical dilemmas of modern healthcare. Here, Kevin Glynn, an experienced pulmonologist and lifelong asthma sufferer tells stories about the third most common cause of premature deaths in the developed world, describes lethal forces in Nature (infections, genetic predispositions) and from human activities (dusty occupations, tobacco smoking, chemical toxins, drug overdoses) that threaten to suffocate us, and offers sage advice for how to prevent and address those threats and the damage they cause.</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。

Eat Like The Animals What Nature Teaches Us About the Science of Healthy Eating【電子書籍】[ David Raubenheimer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A <em>New Scientist</em> Best Book of 2020</strong><br /> Our evolutionary ancestors once possessed the ability to intuit what food their bodies needed, in what proportions, and ate the right things in the proper amountsーperfect nutritional harmony. From wild baboons to gooey slime molds, most every living organism instinctually knows how to balance their diets, except modern-day humans. When and why did we lose this ability, and how can we get it back?</p> <p>David Raubenheimer and Stephen Simpson reveal the answers to these questions in a gripping tale of evolutionary biology and nutritional science, based upon years of groundbreaking research. Their colorful scientific journey takes readers across the globe, from the foothills of Cape Town, to the deserts of Arizona, to a state-of-the-art research center in Sydney. Readers will encounter locusts, mice and even gorillas along the way as the scientists test their hypotheses on various members of the animal kingdom.</p> <p>This epic scientific adventure culminates in a unifying theory of nutrition that has profound implications for our current epidemic of metabolic diseases and obesity. Raubenheimer and Simpson ultimately offer useful advice to understand the unwanted side effects of fad diets, gain control over one's food environment, and see that delicious and healthy are integral parts of proper eating.</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。
