 Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World Theory and Practice【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Throughout the early modern period, scientific debate and governmental action became increasingly preoccupied with the environment, generating discussion across Europe and the wider world as to how to improve land and climate for human benefit. This discourse eventually promoted the reconsideration of long-held beliefs about the role of climate in upholding the social order, driving economies and affecting public health.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Governing the Environment in the Early Modern World＜/em＞ explores the relationship between cultural perceptions of the environment and practical attempts at environmental regulation and change between 1500 and 1800. Taking a cultural and intellectual approach to early modern environmental governance, this edited collection combines an interpretative perspective with new insights into a period largely unfamiliar to environmental historians. Using a rich and multifaceted narrative, this book offers an understanding as to how efforts to enhance productive aspects of the environment were both led by and contributed to new conceptualisations of the role of ‘nature’ in human society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book offers a cultural and intellectual approach to early modern environmental history and will be of special interest to environmental, cultural and intellectual historians, as well as anyone with an interest in the culture and politics of environmental governance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 7,877円 |
 The Imperial Script of Catherine the Great Governing with the Literary Pen【電子書籍】[ Vera Proskurina ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Empress Catherine II produced a body of written material so vast and diverse that it seems impossible to provide a general characterization of the works contained in the authoritative twelve-volume collection assembled by A. N. Pypin from handwritten source material. This book does not attempt an all-embracing review of Catherine’s entire literary output, which consists of works in multiple genres and languages. The Russian empress’s writings have been the repeated subject of serious analysis for nineteenth- and twentieth-century researchers; all of these in one way or another demonstrate that across a variety of genres and formats, with a greater or lesser degree of independence and originality, the literary works of Catherine II always express her politics and ideology. These texts were carefully prepared, their publications and stage productions executed magnificently. As a rule, the most significant works were translated into French, German, and, in some cases, English. European readers, as well as the Russian public, were expected to be attentive witnesses to, and happy consumers of, the monarch’s compositions. Amongst rulers, the literary productivity of the Russian empress has no analogue in history. This volume is the first study in English of the vast literary output of Catherine the Great.＜/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。 | 13,507円 |
 The Governing Class【電子書籍】[ Eric Jon Kiser ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the 21st century, Americans get all the democracy money can buy - but the elite can afford more than their fair share.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bill Sanders, Executive Director of GreenPlanet International, described as 'A New Breed of Environmentalist' by Time Magazine, discovers the government is using corrupt computer models to calculate human impact and climate change. Sanders reaches out to an old acquaintance turned eco-terrorist, known only as 'War-Pig', to help figure out why. Incredibly, they piece together evidence of a global conspiracy of unimaginable proportions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Sanders is found brutally murdered, War-Pig goes after the secret cabal of uber-elite who have spent the better part of the last three generations developing a plan to unleash a virus and reduce the global population by roughly six billion people and enslave the rest. War-Pig infiltrates the cabal, drawing purpose and strength from the least likely of sources, including a Korean war Medal of Honor recipient and the tragically flawed President of the United States, to stop the 1% from deconstructing society and appointing themselves as the 'governing' 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。 | 215円 |

 The Boxing World Finally Unified and Made Much Better How All Boxing in the World Came Under One Brilliant Governing New Body【電子書籍】[ Joseph Oakwood ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞To say there’s a huge mess of randomly piled up world rankings and world title belts would be a great understatement. Not only are there tons and tons of randomly opposing but strangely similar sanctioning bodies, none of which ever agree on anything, and all pretend to have never heard of each other, except when they hop onto a big fight to make it also sanctioned by them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Just take a look at their world rankings right now and compare them ? see? So totally different!! None of them have the same people in their top five, and they don’t even have the top three from the other promotion anywhere in their top ten. Crazy!＜/p＞ ＜p＞There are also way more weight classes in mainstream use right now than most people realise: No less than 17 of them, each with an undisputed world champion (or two), ranging from 105 lbs strawweight and the 108 lbs junior flyweight (pretty much the same thing? Yeah, exactly!) to cruiserweight and heavyweight, either side of 200 lbs. In addition, there are also a dozen different event types, at which an aspiring boxer may currently try to fight his way up the rankings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In addition to all that, there are also millions of weird and baffling mixtures of how high up the rungs of the rankings ladder the two fighters are. It sometimes seems like the matchmaker’s job is to ensure that none of the fights are ever well-matched, evenly matched or sensibly paired up, as the undefeated fighters on a hot streak never go up against each other until it is title match time, and the champions often find ways of avoiding having to fight the true number one contender, you know, the ultra-hot prospect on a hot and dazzling winning streak, or the and instead they’ll defend the title instead against the only fighter who has actually lost to three of the top ten already in recent years.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What gives? Do they take us for fools? Who could possibly be behind such a tragically badly organised set-up?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Well, you can look up who the managers and chairmen of the WBA, the WBC, the IBF, the WBO and the IBO are. They are a bunch of reasonably all-right guys if you meet them individually or in groups, but you will never get the big issues of the world sport solved by any of them alone. Each one of them is always trying to make money off all the big names and the hot venues, rather than to impartially offer a fair opportunity to each aspiring boxer and a fair recognition of every aspiring boxer’s achievement. They’re insider clubs, subject to lobbying and to being seduced by the big names on the big pay per views, even if other boxers would have earned that place on that pay-per-view with way more impressive achievements under their belt to earn that big spotlight place. It’s a mean world, and certainly not a fair world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What if all of these problems were to be solved, all at the same time? What if we were about to enter a world where everything has changed, for the better? Well, believe it or not, it has, just a few years ahead of the day when you are reading this. This is how we got there. And this is how things are now arranged:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now let’s take that big daring leap through the vortex. Let’s land in a world where the countries of the world have decreed a forced merger between all the boxing organisations into one big fair new and improved impartial and money-generous governing body with one world title and one world rankings, with a whole bunch of clever new features that make it all work so much better. This is the world you are about to enter.＜/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。 | 824円 |
 Justin Trudeau on the Ropes Governing in Troubled Times【電子書籍】[ Paul Wells ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The worst decade in the history of the Liberal Party of Canada came to an end on October 19, 2015.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Justin Trudeau swept to power, ending the ten-year rule of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. Trudeau’s vision was relentlessly optimistic: the word "positive" was heard eight times in his victory speech, along with references to "sunny ways" and "hope and hard work." But the fates decreed that he would govern in darker times. His rookie government, itself mainly staffed by rookies in federal politics, had to learn on the job in an age of polarization, misinformation, and pandemic, while dealing with the rise of Trump and Brexit, a newly belligerent China, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The moment needed more than a young PM's abundant charm. And almost from the outset, Trudeau struggled to rise to the occasion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A decade after he published The Longer I’m Prime Minister, the definitive portrait of Stephen Harper in power, Paul Wells, one of Canada’s all-time great political writers, turns his attention to Justin Trudeau, a man of talent, ambition, and trust issues in a time of mistrust.＜/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。 | 1,384円 |
 Millard Fillmore Caldwell Governing on the Wrong Side of History【電子書籍】[ Gary R. Mormino ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞When actions of the past clash with the values of today＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Millard Fillmore Caldwell (1897?1984) was once considered one of the greatest Floridians of his generation. Yet today he is known for his inability to adjust to the racial progress of the modern world. In this biography, leading Florida historian Gary Mormino tackles the difficult question of how to remember yesterday’s heroes who are now known to have had serious flaws.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The last Florida governor born in the nineteenth century and the first to govern in the atomic age, Caldwell was beloved in his time for leading the state through the hard years of World War II. He was wildly successful in a political career that may never be matched, serving as governor, congressman, state legislator, and chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court. He passed important educational reform legislation. But his attitudes toward race and citizenship strike Americans today as embarrassing and shocking. He refused to address black leaders by their titles. He argued for segregated bomb shelters. And he accepted lynching as part of the southern way of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mormino measures the contributions of Caldwell alongside his glaring faults, discussing his complicated role in shaping modern Florida. In the current debates surrounding public memorials and historical memory in the United States, ＜em＞Millard Fillmore Caldwell＜/em＞ is a timely example of one man’s contested legacy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A volume in the series Florida in Focus, edited by Andrew K.

 Life Among the Cannibals A Political Career, a Tea Party Uprising, and the End of Governing As We Know It【電子書籍】[ Sen. Arlen Specter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞A revealing memoir of how Washington is changing---and not for the better＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞During a storied thirty-year career in the U.S. Senate, Arlen Specter rose to Judiciary Committee chairman, saved and defeated Supreme Court nominees, championed NIH funding, wrote watershed crime laws, always staying defiantly independent, "The Contrarian," as ＜em＞Time＜/em＞ magazine billed him in a package of the nation's ten-best Senators. It all ended with one vote, for President Obama's stimulus, when Specter broke with Republicans to provide the margin of victory to prevent another Depression.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shunned by the GOP faithful, Specter changed parties, giving Democrats a sixty-vote supermajority and throwing Washington into a tailspin. He kept charging, taking the first bursts of Tea Party fire at public meetings on Obama's health care--reform plan. Undaunted, Specter cast the key vote for the health plan.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Life Among the Cannibals＜/em＞, Specter candidly describes the battles that led to his party switch, his tough transition, the unexpected struggles and duplicity that he faced, and his tumultuous campaign and eventual defeat in the 2010 Pennsylvania Democratic primary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taking us behind the scenes in the Capitol, the White House, and on the campaign trail, he shows how the rise of extremists---in both parties---has displaced tolerance with purity tests, purging centrists, and precluding moderate, bipartisan consensus.＜/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。 | 1,089円 |
 The Political Transformation of David Tod Governing Ohio during the Height of the Civil War【電子書籍】[ Joseph Lambert Jr ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A governor embraces patriotism over partisanship in a crucial Union state＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Before his election to the state’s executive office in 1861, David Tod was widely regarded as Ohio’s most popular Democrat. Tod rose to prominence in the old Western Reserve, rejecting the political influence of his well-known father, a former associate justice of Ohio’s Supreme Court, a previous member of the Federalist Party, and a new, devoted Whig. As a fierce Democratic Party lion, the younger Tod thrilled followers with his fearless political attacks on Whig adversaries and was considered an unlikely figure in the battle to keep the Union intact.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, the Civil War and the serious consequences of its potential outcome came to outweigh his loyalty to the Democratic Party. Placing the restoration of the Union above all else, Tod eagerly shed his partisan identity to take up the Union cause. As governor, he quickly pledged Ohio’s support to the nation’s leader, President Abraham Lincoln. Tod rallied Ohioans to support the war and equipped scores of physicians and nurses with medical supplies to tend to Ohio’s wounded soldiers. He also had to protect the state’s borders from invasion by developing defenses at home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite his patriotic service, partisan politics and political intrigue denied Tod a second term. ＜em＞The Political Transformation of David Tod＜/em＞ chronicles Tod’s unwavering support for the Union and describes the importance of a politician’s loyalty to country over partisanship.＜/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。 | 3,631円 |
