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 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

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

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
India: What can it teach us? A Course of Lectures Delivered before the University Of Cambridge【電子書籍】[ F. Max M?ller ] 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
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 End of Burnout Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Malesic ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Going beyond the how and why of burnout, a former tenured professor combines academic methods and first-person experience to propose new ways for resisting our cultural obsession with work and transforming our vision of human flourishing.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Burnout＜/em＞ has become our go-to term for talking about the pressure and dissatisfaction we experience at work. But in the absence of understanding what burnout means, the discourse often does little to help workers who suffer from exhaustion and despair. Jonathan Malesic was a burned out worker who escaped by quitting his job as a tenured professor. In ＜em＞The End of Burnout＜/em＞, he dives into the history and psychology of burnout, traces the origin of the high ideals we bring to our jobs, and profiles the individuals and communities who are already resisting our cultural commitment to constant work.＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞The End of Burnout＜/em＞, Malesic traces his own history as someone who burned out of a tenured job to frame this rigorous investigation of how and why so many of us feel worn out, alienated, and useless in our work. Through research on the science, culture, and philosophy of burnout, Malesic explores the gap between our vocation and our jobs, and between the ideals we have for work and the reality of what we have to do. He eschews the usual prevailing wisdom in confronting burnout (“Learn to say no!” “Practice mindfulness!”) to examine how our jobs have been constructed as a symbol of our value and our total identity. Beyond looking at what drives burnoutーunfairness, a lack of autonomy, a breakdown of community, mismatches of valuesーthis book spotlights groups that are addressing these failures of ethics. We can look to communities of monks, employees of a Dallas nonprofit, intense hobbyists, and artists with disabilities to see the possibilities for resisting a “total work” environment and the paths to recognizing the dignity of workers and nonworkers alike. In this critical yet deeply humane book, Malesic offers the vocabulary we need to recognize burnout, overcome burnout culture, and acknowledge the dignity of workers and nonworkers alike.＜/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。	3,453円

Scarabs The History, Manufacture and Symbolism of the Scarab?us in Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, Sardinia, Etruria, etc【電子書籍】[ Isaac Myer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Scarabs," Isaac Myer deftly intertwines myth and reality, exploring the ancient symbolism of the scarab beetle within the context of human existence and identity. The narrative unfolds through a blend of lyrical prose and sharp insights, inviting readers to reflect on the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. Myer employs a minimalist style, echoing the precision and elegance of ancient texts, while also challenging contemporary perspectives on mortality and transformation. This literary tapestry invites not only introspection but also a dialogue on the metaphysical significance of cultural symbols throughout history. Isaac Myer, with a background in archaeology and cultural studies, draws deeply from his extensive travels and academic pursuits in Egyptology. His passion for ancient civilizations and their relevance to modern life shapes the thematic core of "Scarabs," as he seeks to bridge the gap between the past and the present. His scholarly work, coupled with personal exploration, highlights the enduring impact of ancient symbols on contemporary consciousness. I wholeheartedly recommend "Scarabs" to readers who seek a profound, thought-provoking journey through symbolism and the intricacies of human nature. Myer'??s unique perspective and evocative narrative resonate powerfully, ensuring that this book is not only an exploration of antiquity but also a mirror reflecting the complexities of our own lives.＜/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 Point of Us【電子書籍】[ FL Rose ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞We all think we know where we're going. But sometimes, we realise that we don't know who we are.＜/p＞＜p＞Paul is losing his faith, both in God and in his own ability to make a difference to others. Signing up to visit notorious hitman Trevor Eddison in prison, his belief in the fundamental goodness of human nature takes a hit of its own. Meanwhile Paul's wife Terentia, a prize-winning novelist, can't get a publisher for her latest book. Is her creative career over, and who is she, if she's not a writer? Dave is accused of racism towards one of the passengers on his bus. Too stubborn to apologise, it looks like both his job and his relationship might be at risk. And finally, there's Emma, Dave's wife - a woman for whom life - as the saying goes - is a bowl of cherries. Emma couldn't ask for a better husband and more adorable kids, but perhaps Fate is taking a spiteful interest…＜/p＞＜p＞The Point of Us is about how we all deal with those times in life when it seems like there's nothing solid to hold on to - and how we push through. By turns funny, tragic and uplifting, it not only entertains but makes us question the assumptions on which we all base our lives.＜/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
How Fascism Works The Politics of Us and Them【電子書籍】[ Jason Stanley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ BESTSELLER ? “No single book is as relevant to the present moment.”ーClaudia Rankine, author of ＜em＞Citizen＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞“With unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, ＜em＞How Fascism Works＜/em＞ is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism.”ーJelani Cobb, ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞ staff writer＜/p＞＜p＞A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history.＜/p＞＜p＞As a scholar of philosophy and propaganda and the child of refugees of WWII Europe, Jason Stanley has long understood that democratic societies, including the United States, can be vulnerable to fascism. In ＜em＞How Fascism Works＜/em＞, he identifies ten pillars of fascist politicsーan appeal to the mythic past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, favoring “the heartland,” and a dismantling of public goods and unionsーthat amount to an urgent diagnosis of the tactics right-wing politicians use to break down democracies and a critical lens on the current moment.＜/p＞＜p＞Stanley knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations, making clear the immense dangers of language and beliefs that separate people into an “us” and a “them.” By uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politicsーrhetoric and mythーcan become policy and reality all too quickly. Only by recognizing them, he argues, can we begin to resist their most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.＜/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。	912円

Let Us Go On The Secret of Christian Progress in the Epistle to the Hebrews【電子書籍】[ W. H. Griffith Thomas ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book contains the amplification of Lectures and Bible Readings which I have had the privilege of giving, first at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, 1905?10, then at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 1911, and subsequently at other Bible Institutes and at several Bible Conferences in America.＜br /＞ I have no intention or desire to add to the many valuable commentaries available on this Epistle, but I have thought it might be profitable to concentrate on one of the main themes (if not the main theme) of Hebrews, the necessity and conditions of spiritual progress. As I try to show, even though its primary message was to the Christian Jews to whom it was originally addressed, its teaching, exhortations, and warnings are directly applicable to believers today for the purpose of inciting them to possess and enjoy the fullest and highest Christian life.＜br /＞ With the view of obtaining all possible light on the development of this special topic, I have collected and utilized everything I could find on Hebrews, and the Bibliography will show the character and extent of my indebtedness.＜br /＞ A brief outline of the book was given as Bible Readings at the Keswick Convention, 1922, and since then the chapters have appeared, substantially as they are now, in the pages of The Christian, to the Editor of which I am indebted for permission to reproduce them in this form. They are now sent out, revised, with the prayer that both writer and readers may “go on” unto that spiritual ripeness of experience which alone realizes the divine purpose in Christ and fulfils the divine work of grace.＜/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。	426円

Iren?us, Bishop of Lyons and Martyr," James Beaven meticulously explores the life and theological contributions of St. Iren?us, a pivotal figure in early Christianity. This scholarly work blends historical narrative with critical analysis, situating Iren?us within the broader context of the second-century Christian struggle against heresy. Beaven employs an engaging prose style, interspersing detailed examinations of Iren?us's writings'ーmost notably his refutation of Gnostic thought'ーwith insights into the sociopolitical dynamics of early Christendom, offering a comprehensive and nuanced portrayal of this influential bishop's legacy. James Beaven, an esteemed theologian and historian, draws on his extensive expertise in early Christian texts to shed light on Iren?us's significant role in shaping ecclesiastical doctrine. His academic background and profound interest in the intersections of faith and philosophy illuminate the intrinsic motivations behind Iren?us's work, emphasizing both his pastoral concerns and theological innovations, which continue to resonate in contemporary discussions of faith. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in early church history, theology, or the development of Christian doctrine. Beaven's thorough approach not only provides an invaluable resource for scholars but also invites general readers to appreciate the complexities and challenges faced by early Christians, making it a pivotal addition to the literature on church history.

The Age of Diagnosis How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker【電子書籍】[ Suzanne O'Sullivan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞From a neurologist and the award-winning author of ＜em＞The Sleeping Beauties＜/em＞, a meticulous and compassionate exploration of how our culture of medical diagnosis can harm, rather than help, patients.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞We live in an age of diagnosis. Conditions like ADHD and autism are on the rapid rise, while new categories like long Covid are being created. Medical terms are increasingly used to describe ordinary human experiences, and the advance of sophisticated genetic sequencing techniques means that even the healthiest of us may soon be screened for potential abnormalities. More people are labeled "sick" than ever beforeーbut are these diagnoses improving their lives?＜/p＞＜p＞With scientific authority and compassionate storytelling, neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan argues that our obsession with diagnosis is harming more than helping. It is natural when we are suffering to want a clear label, understanding, and, of course, treatment. But our current approach to diagnosis too often pathologizes difference, increases our anxiety, and changes our experience of our bodies for the worse.＜/p＞＜p＞Through the moving stories of real people, O'Sullivan compares the impact of a medical label to the pain of not knowing. She explains the way the boundaries of a diagnosis can blur over time. Most importantly, she calls for us to find new and better vocabularies for suffering and to find ways to support people without medicalizing them.＜/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
The Avoidable War The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China【電子書籍】[ Kevin Rudd ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A war between China and the US would be catastrophic, deadly, and destructive. Unfortunately, it is no longer unthinkable.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞The relationship between the US and China, the world’s two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic faultーof cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer, and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily.＜/p＞＜p＞Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought. ＜em＞The Avoidable War＜/em＞ demystifies the actions of both sides, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls “managed strategic competition.” Should they fail, down that path lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both countries, and the world.＜/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。	2,866円

The Evolution of Beauty How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World - and Us【電子書籍】[ Richard O. Prum ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE＜/p＞＜p＞NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ＜em＞THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW＜/em＞, ＜em＞SMITHSONIAN,＜/em＞ AND ＜em＞WALL STREET JOURNAL＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞A major reimagining of how evolutionary forces work, revealing how mating preferencesーwhat Darwin termed "the taste for the beautiful"ーcreate the extraordinary range of ornament in the animal world.＜/p＞＜p＞In the great halls of science, dogma holds that Darwin's theory of natural selection explains every branch on the tree of life: which species thrive, which wither away to extinction, and what features each evolves. But can adaptation by natural selection really account for everything we see in nature?＜br /＞ Yale University ornithologist Richard Prumーreviving Darwin's own viewsーthinks not. Deep in tropical jungles around the world are birds with a dizzying array of appearances and mating displays: Club-winged Manakins who sing with their wings, Great Argus Pheasants who dazzle prospective mates with a four-foot-wide cone of feathers covered in golden 3D spheres, Red-capped Manakins who moonwalk. In thirty years of fieldwork, Prum has seen numerous display traits that seem disconnected from, if not outright contrary to, selection for individual survival. To explain this, he dusts off Darwin's long-neglected theory of sexual selection in which the act of choosing a mate for purely aesthetic reasonsーfor the mere pleasure of itーis an independent engine of evolutionary change.＜br /＞ Mate choice can drive ornamental traits from the constraints of adaptive evolution, allowing them to grow ever more elaborate. It also sets the stakes for sexual conflict, in which the sexual autonomy of the female evolves in response to male sexual control. Most crucially, this framework provides important insights into the evolution of human sexuality, particularly the ways in which female preferences have changed male bodies, and even maleness itself, through evolutionary time.＜br /＞＜em＞The Evolution of Beauty＜/em＞ presents a unique scientific vision for how nature's splendor contributes to a more complete understanding of evolution and of ourselves.＜/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。	1,370円
