 The Visual Language of Comics Introduction to the Structure and Cognition of Sequential Images.【電子書籍】[ Dr Neil Cohn ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Drawings and sequential images are an integral part of human expression dating back at least as far as cave paintings, and in contemporary society appear most prominently in comics. Despite this fundamental part of human identity, little work has explored the comprehension and cognitive underpinnings of visual narratives-until now.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This work presents a provocative theory: that drawings and sequential images are structured the same as language. Building on contemporary theories from linguistics and cognitive psychology, it argues that comics are written in a ＜em＞visual language＜/em＞ of sequential images that combines with text. Like spoken and signed languages, visual narratives use a lexicon of systematic patterns stored in memory, strategies for combining these patterns into meaningful units, and a hierarchic grammar governing the combination of sequential images into coherent expressions. Filled with examples and illustrations, this book details each of these levels of structure, explains how cross-cultural differences arise in diverse visual languages of the world, and describes what the newest neuroscience research reveals about the brain's comprehension of visual narratives. From this emerges the foundation for a new line of research within the linguistic and cognitive sciences, raising intriguing questions about the connections between language and the diversity of humans' expressive behaviours in the mind and brain.＜/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。 | 5,914円 |

 Spreading Wings A Sequential Novel. the Evolution of Crooked Wings.【電子書籍】[ Nada Clyne ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In Lourdes, on the holy feast day of Assumption, the body of a dead child lies in a pool of blood in front of the statue of the Virgin. Around her stand those who have come to love her, not just as a child, but as a gifted soul, trapped in a disabled body. Their grief at her loss merges with the love that she has awoken in them. Though she is gone, the love that they feel in her presence, grows stronger. Her body returns to the convent of the nuns who came to regard her as their own saint, but at the moment when they are ready to bury her, she lets them know that she is very much still with them. What follows is the evolution of a relationship that began when seekers from different paths converged on a chteau in Entre Deux Mers, South Western France, and discovered this child held the key to their destiny. What began in "Crooked Wings" now takes flight and like birds losing their fledgling plumage, they learn to spread their wings.＜/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。 | 468円 |
 George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’ A Sequential and Contextual Reading【電子書籍】[ Franco Marucci ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The negative historical judgment given to George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’ amounts nowadays to a gross critical blunder, and in the last three decades the story has been firmly reinstated in Eliot’s major canon. The premise of the present book is that George Eliot’s oeuvre is a compact macrotext where themes, motifs, patterns and cultural and personal archetypes recur with variations, and that ‘The Lifted Veil’ functions as the linchpin of this oeuvre. A sequential approach to the story is authorized by the use of a mimetic enunciation that simulates a gradual ‘definition’ of events, places, and characters as they have appeared to the narrating ‘I’ in the course of time until the moment of the enunciation. Contextualizing ‘The Lifted Veil’ means placing it within Eliot’s oeuvre and against the background of Victorian mid-century fiction; in a further meaning, seeing it as intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres, such as that of the European and American ‘literature of the veil’, that of the archetypal icon of the femme fatale, that of Wilkie Collins’s ‘dead secret’ novels. The most significant facet that critical literature on ‘The Lifted Veil’ has tended to overlook is however the encrypting of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of the search for a spiritual and racial identity of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot’s final novel.＜/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。 | 9,995円 |

 Alexander Archipelago A Dozen Alexander Rain Forest Stories in Twelve Non-sequential Acts【電子書籍】[ Gustav Tjgaard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This eclectic series of twelve stories based on some of the life experiences of Gustav Tjgaard runs the gamut.The nonfiction narrative presents dramatizations set in the lush ambiance and grandeur of earth’s largest temperate rain forest. The book is a picture album of life in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest.These adventures and perilous undertakings occur in a forest of big trees, big birds, big fish, and big bears, where immense peaks are wrapped in great glaciers that break off into bays and fjords where big whales spout. The peaks are capped by perennial snows that form the highest coastal mountain range in the world, rising abruptly from salty coves to blue ice and black crags. Surely this is landscape to swell the soul and humble the ego.From Chapter 4: This was a phenomenon experienced in the dead of winter while at the author’s dacha on Baranof Island. The weather outside was malevolent with a wind factor that brought the temperature down to well below zero. Comforted by the warmth of the stove and a glass of Tennessee whiskey, while listening to Schumann’s “Waldszenen,” the author dozed off. It was in this state of mind that he recognized their midnight visitor was Percy, a former fianc? of his wife, Sophie. It wasn’t until the following spring that they learned Percy died two weeks before his visit.＜/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。 | 1,610円 |

Though much that happened was a lifetime ago and in a different world, Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, now the Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven, holds the heavy vellum envelop for a moment in her hands. Within is the end of a long journey seeking vindication for a husband who gave his life to the service of the Royal Navy and received, in return, ingratitude.

 Consequentialism Strategic Ethics in Warfare【電子書籍】[ Fouad Sabry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞What is Consequentialism＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In moral philosophy, consequentialism is a class of normative, teleological ethical theories that holds that the consequences of one's conduct are the ultimate basis for judgement about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct. Thus, from a consequentialist standpoint, a morally right act is one that will produce a good outcome. Consequentialism, along with eudaimonism, falls under the broader category of teleological ethics, a group of views which claim that the moral value of any act consists in its tendency to produce things of intrinsic value. Consequentialists hold in general that an act is right if and only if the act will produce, will probably produce, or is intended to produce, a greater balance of good over evil than any available alternative. Different consequentialist theories differ in how they define moral goods, with chief candidates including pleasure, the absence of pain, the satisfaction of one's preferences, and broader notions of the "general good".＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞How you will benefit＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞(I) Insights, and validations about the following topics:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 1: Consequentialism＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 2: Applied ethics＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 3: Ethics＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 4: Normative ethics＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 5: Utilitarianism＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 6: Virtue ethics＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 7: Deontology＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 8: Welfarism＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 9: Preference utilitarianism＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 10: Bernard Gert＜/p＞ ＜p＞(II) Answering the public top questions about consequentialism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Who this book is for＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of Consequentialism.＜/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。 | 750円 |

Aus konsequentialistischer Sicht ist eine moralisch richtige Handlung also eine, die ein gutes Ergebnis hervorbringt. Konsequentialismus f?llt zusammen mit Eudaimonismus in die breitere Kategorie der teleologischen Ethik, einer Gruppe von Ansichten, die behaupten, dass der moralische Wert einer Handlung in ihrer Tendenz besteht, Dinge von intrinsischem Wert hervorzubringen.

All of these stories are deeply relatable and hyper-realistic ? you either know these characters or perhaps you have found yourself in these very same situations. Each of them leaves the reader with much more than what is on the surface ? ala Ernest Hemingway and/or Raymond Carver ? and will have you thinking about them long after you finish reading them. - ＜strong＞Julian Gallo, author of Breathe＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Garry Crystal's title for his collection of short stories and one scene plays aptly summarizes a dominant theme at the same time that it seems to dismiss the content as near meaningless. Most of these narratives depict the all too common scene for thirty-something people in the big city; struggles at recovery from ruined relationships, lapses into sloth, alcohol, drugs, casual, sometimes barely civil, sexual encounters and, of course, depression that blankets these scenes of urban discontent like a grey, palpable fog. For all this, I could not dismiss as dreary cliche' this highly entertaining and thought provoking collection. It was fun to read and at some points, downright intriguing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dark humor and a conversational first person narrator style preserve the several stories of an alienated young urban male from triteness. Situations that, if our jaded narrator did not so masterfully depict them, might be all too familiar for interest. In "The Conversationalists", for example, he endures a mercifully short relationship with the beautiful, but totally self-absorbed Serena. It's the artful recreation of a scene that this reader and, I'm sure, many others have encountered in real life. The difference being that most of us do not in our suffering of a "me personality" interlocutor turn the encounter into a lively and entertaining short story.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This collection has much to offer to readers from a broad band of tastes who enjoy good story telling. For readers prone to induced anxiety and depressed moods these stories could pose a hazard. Those who enjoy nuanced meaning and dark ambiguities delivered by way of succinct narration and lively dialogue, these stories are the right stuff. - ＜strong＞Online Book Club Organization＜/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。 | 1,350円 |

 A Consequential President The Legacy of Barack Obama【電子書籍】[ Michael D'Antonio ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞In response to criticism and disappointment from the Left, ＜em＞A Consequential President＜/em＞ offers a bold assessment of the lasting successes and major achievements of President Obama.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Had he only saved the U.S. economy with his economic recovery act and his program to restore the auto industry, President Obama would have been considered a successful president. He achieved so much more, however, that he can be counted as one of our most consequential presidents.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With The Affordable Care Act, he ended the long-running crisis of escalating costs and inadequate access of treatment that had long-threatened the well-being of 50 million Americans. His energy policies drove down the cost of power generated by the sun, the wind, and even fossil fuels. His efforts on climate change produced the Paris Agreement, the first treaty to address global warming in a meaningful way, and his diplomacy produced a dramatic reduction in the nuclear threat posed by Iran. Add the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, the normalization of relations with Cuba, and his “pivot” toward Asia, and President Obama's triumphs abroad match those at home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most importantly, as the first African-American president, he navigated race relations and a rising tide of bigotry, including some who challenged his citizenship, while also fighting a Republican Party determined to make him one-term president. As a result, Obama's greatest achievement was restoring dignity and ethics to the office of the president, proof that he delivered his campaign promise of hope and change.＜/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。 | 1,643円 |

 The Consequential Heart【電子書籍】[ Paula Freda ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A Novella (Clean Romance, Murder Mystery, Suspense)＜br /＞ There was a time JoAnn felt Jim was attracted to her, before he met Lexie, but Lexie broke his heart and married someone else. Was there the least bit of chance, JoAnn pondered wistfully, that she might replace his lost love and capture and mend his broken heart? The way to his heart was clear. But he would first have to open its door and let her in.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Excerpt:＜br /＞ ...Jim and Harold's law firm often represented the embezzled corporation in legal suits. JoAnn and both lawyers and their secretaries were called to the precinct to represent the firm after E.J. Stanton, the company's president, discovered and reported to the authorities a $100,000 dollar unexplained deficit, and accused Alliston, the bookkeeper, of embezzlement, but Jim felt Stanton's evidence against Alliston was dubious and decided to represent the accused Treasurer. No such money was found deposited into any account relating to Alliston's personal finances. The man swore he was innocent. But he was the most likely suspect since he handled all the company's finances. Jim hired a P.I. to investigate. Although the P.I. found no authentic proof that would stand up in court, he did lead Jim to form certain conclusions about who might have been the actual embezzler.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"And you remember who I mentioned in my notes," Jim whispered.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Yes, I do." JoAnn answered. "But those suspicions were never made public."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Nevertheless, my office was broken into and files searched. Nothing was discovered missing except the file I carried with me in my briefcase."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Alliston's," JoAnn said, shakily."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jim nodded.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"We are all in danger, aren't we?" JoAnn said.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Yes we are," Jim said. "There's already been one murder committed relative to this case."....＜/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。 | 425円 |
 Ovoid, Illinois Fictionalized Accounts of Inconsequential People【電子書籍】[ DC Rapier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞'Ovoid, Illinois' is set in a microscopically small town in the American Midwest of the late 1960’s. The tale tells of the final high school year of Cheryl-Jean Billingham, cheerleader, aspiring journalist and daughter of the ambitious ex-mayor and Duncan Reynard, singer, musician and eldest son of the town barber. Although of different social circles and circumstances, the two are brought together in a bitter-sweet romance by controversy resulting from faculty in-fighting regarding the high school musical. Cheryl-Jean takes it upon herself to fight on behalf of Duncan, who she feels has been slighted. She quickly finds herself embroiled in faculty politics, small town political wrangling and the larger societal picture of the tumultuous 1960’s. She is faced with the dilemma of creating a rift between herself and her loving yet patronizing father, undermining her own social status and taking a principled stand in defending both Duncan and the high school’s music director, Gordon Lehmann. Mr Lehmann, a closeted homosexual, is the target of a witch-hunt lead by the self-righteous and self-promoting, drama teacher, Mrs. Thalia Beaudelaire, who hopes to gain social prominence by threatening to ‘out’ him. Ovoid, Illinois is further populated by quirky, small-town eccentrics, religious fanatics, religious iconoclasts, fractious immigrants, drunks, war heroes, war protestors, cheerleaders, football jocks, nascent hippies, novice fascists, a teen megalomaniac, an over-weight and over-bearing sheriff, a sexually over-active vice-principal and a hard rock band which makes music so loud and so bizarre that it drives domestic animals to a primal frenzy. Ovoid, Illinois; a place of quiet, pastoral tradition. Ovoid, Illinois; a real nice place to raise your kids. Ovoid, Illinois; a place and a state of mind that most of the kids are frantic to escape from.＜/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。 | 1,610円 |
