Freakonomics A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything【電子書籍】[ Steven D. Levitt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The legendary bestseller that encouraged millions of readers to look at the hidden side of everything</p> <p>Which is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common?</p> <p>These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who uses data analysis to study the riddles of everyday lifeーfrom cheating and crime to sports and child-rearingーand whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. <em>Freakonomics Rev Ed</em> is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.</p> <p>Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that pop economics is, at root, the study of incentivesーhow people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In <em>Freakonomics Rev Ed</em>, they explore the hidden side of everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. What unites all these stories is a belief in counterintuitive thinking: that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, andーif the right questions are askedーis even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. <em>Freakonomics Rev Ed</em> establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then behavioral economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.</p> <p>This revised and expanded edition of the book contains a smattering of bonus material, including selected <em>Freakonomics</em> columns from <em>The New York Times Magazine</em>; a Q&A with Steven Levitt, Stephen Dubner, and Angela Duckworth; and the <em>New York Times Magazine</em> profile Dubner wrote about Levitt that started it all.</p> <p>This exploration of the hidden side of everything reveals:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Incentives Are Everywhere:</strong> Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? It all comes down to understanding how peopleーfrom criminals to teachersーrespond to economic, social, and moral incentives.</li> <li><strong>Challenging Conventional Wisdom:</strong> Discover what schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common, why real estate agents might not have your best interest at heart, and how common knowledge is often completely wrong.</li> <li><strong>Case Studies in Economics:</strong> See how sifting through data reveals surprising truths about crime rates, parenting strategies, and more, showing that the modern world is more intriguing than we think.</li> <li><strong>Real-World Economics:</strong> Learn which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool, and other riddles of everyday life that demonstrate how economics represents the way the world actually works.</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,693円

Grey and White Hulls An International Analysis of the Navy-Coastguard Nexus【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book undertakes an in-depth examination of the diversity in international approaches to the navy-coastguard nexus. It considers the evolving global maritime security landscape and the emergence and proliferation of maritime law enforcement agenciesーcollectively referred to here as “coastguards”ーperforming peacetime constabulary duties alongside navies. Through a cross-regional study of various countries worldwide, including those in Asia and Europe, this book reveals that there is no one optimal, “one size fits all” organizational structure. Instead, there is a wide array of drivers that influence a nation-state’s maritime security architecture and its organizational approach to managing security at sea, or broadly speaking, securing its national maritime interests.</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。 20,662円

The Organized Mind Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload【電子書籍】[ Daniel J. Levitin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>New York Times</em> bestselling author and neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin shifts his keen insights from your brain on music to your brain in a sea of details.</strong></p> <p>The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data. At the same time, we’re expected to make moreーand fasterーdecisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up.</p> <p>But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. In <em>The Organized Mind</em>, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excelーand how readers can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time.</p> <p>With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of our daily lives. <em>This Is Your Brain on Music</em> showed how to better play and appreciate music through an understanding of how the brain works. <em>The Organized Mind</em> shows how to navigate the churning flood of information in the twenty-first century with the same neuroscientific perspective.</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。 2,177円

Portfolios of the Poor How the World's Poor Live on $2 a Day【電子書籍】[ Daryl Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Nearly forty percent of humanity lives on an average of two dollars a day or less. If you've never had to survive on an income so small, it is hard to imagine. How would you put food on the table, afford a home, and educate your children? How would you handle emergencies and old age? Every day, more than a billion people around the world must answer these questions. <em>Portfolios of the Poor</em> is the first book to systematically explain how the poor find solutions to their everyday financial problems.</p> <p>The authors conducted year-long interviews with impoverished villagers and slum dwellers in Bangladesh, India, and South Africa--records that track penny by penny how specific households manage their money. The stories of these families are often surprising and inspiring. Most poor households do not live hand to mouth, spending what they earn in a desperate bid to keep afloat. Instead, they employ financial tools, many linked to informal networks and family ties. They push money into savings for reserves, squeeze money out of creditors whenever possible, run sophisticated savings clubs, and use microfinancing wherever available. Their experiences reveal new methods to fight poverty and ways to envision the next generation of banks for the "bottom billion."</p> <p>Indispensable for those in development studies, economics, and microfinance, <em>Portfolios of the Poor</em> will appeal to anyone interested in knowing more about poverty and what can be done about it.</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。 4,511円

An Inquiry Into the Nature and Progress of Rent Enriched edition. Exploring the Economics of Land Rent and Agricultural Industry【電子書籍】[ Thomas Robert Malthus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Thomas Robert Malthus' "An Inquiry Into the Nature and Progress of Rent" presents a profound investigation into the complexities of land rent and its implications for economic theory and social structures. Written in Malthus' characteristic analytical style, the work synthesizes previous economic thought with his own observations, emphasizing the interface between agricultural productivity and socioeconomic disparity. In the context of early 19th-century England, this treatise articulates the intricate nature of rent as a driving force in the dynamics of wealth distribution, advancing discussions that would later influence classical economists. Malthus, best known for his theories on population dynamics, emerged during a period marked by the agricultural revolution and rising industrialization, factors that undoubtedly informed his understanding of economic relationships. His experiences as a clergyman and social commentator shaped his views on population and resources, allowing him to critique prevailing economic systems and advocate for policies that could mitigate social inequities. The examination of rent serves not only as an economic analysis but as a broader commentary on human welfare and justice. For readers interested in the foundations of economic thought and the ongoing relevance of rent in capitalism, Malthus' work is indispensable. It offers critical insights into the structures of power that govern land usage and wealth accumulation today, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationships between economics, society, and policy.

Essentials of Management for Healthcare Professionals【電子書籍】[ Hari Singh ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Medical care is an industry and private providers and hospitals are the major service providers. They operate on business principles. Hospitals are getting highly specialized and complex. The diagnostics and therapeutics are technology intensive. Private establishments have to compete with one another to remain in business. They strive to induct the best talent and latest technical know-how, resulting in ever-increasing costs to patients. Patients, who pay high charges, demand quality as a matter of right. To meet the challenge, hospitals are constrained to bring in professionalism in their systems and services. They appoint qualified professional managers to manage their clinics and hospitals with a view to sparing health professionals to focus on clinical care. Whether right or wrong, ‘management’ is often associated with authority and power. As a result, the medical professionals are reduced to secondary level in some organizations. To retain commanding positions in medical organizations, it has become necessary for the healthcare professionals to learn ‘management’, at least its basics.</p> <p>On the other hand, non-medical managers while managing healthcare services do not get the required cooperation from the medical professionals, as the latter are often secretive and not willing to share medical knowledge. If medical knowledge is demystified, non-medical managers can perform many functions in healthcare organizations proficiently. Both medical and non-medical managers can complement each other in providing quality healthcare services.</p> <p>The book aims to orient clinicians (including physicians and nurses) and other healthcare professionals on the essentials of business management and to familiarize them with management terms and jargon. They can learn to be effective managers besides being health professionals. Similarly, non- medical managers can get familiarized to nuances of clinical care and special managerial requirements of healthcare facilities. They all will be able to relate processes in healthcare settings with the concepts of business management. They can develop expertise on patient relationship management</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。 7,959円

The Wisdom of Finance How the Humanities Can Illuminate and Improve Finance【電子書籍】[ Mihir Desai ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Longlisted for the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2017</strong></p> <p>Finance is shrouded in mystery for outsiders, while many insiders are uneasy with the disrepute of their profession. How can finance become more accessible and also recover its nobility?</p> <p>Harvard Business School professor Mihir Desai takes up the cause of restoring humanity to finance. With deft wit, he draws upon a rich knowledge of literature, film, history, and philosophy to explain finance's inner workings. Through this creative approach, he shows that outsiders can easily access the underlying ideas and insiders can reacquaint themselves with the core values of their profession.</p> <p>This combination of finance and the humanities creates unusual and illuminating pairings: Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope are guides to risk management; Jeff Koons becomes an advocate of leverage; and Mel Brooks' The Producers teaches us about fiduciary responsibility. In Desai's vision, the principles of finance also provide answers to critical questions in our lives: bankruptcy teaches us how to react to failure, the lessons of mergers apply to marriages, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model demonstrates the true value of relationships.</p> <p><em>The Wisdom of Finance</em> is a wholly unique book, offering an enlivening new perspective on one of the world's most complex and misunderstood professions.</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。 1,511円

Buddhism and Quantum Theory Impermanence, the nature of reality, consciousness and observation, interconnectedness. All the surprising similarities.【電子書籍】[ Bruno Del Medico ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the landscape of human knowledge, the boundaries between science and philosophy are proving increasingly permeable, giving rise to unexpected dialogues between seemingly distant worlds. In this book, we aim to explore the fascinating intersection between Eastern philosophies, with a particular focus on Buddhism, and modern discoveries in quantum physics. The goal is clear: to outline how the millennia-old insights of traditions such as Buddhism can offer new light on quantum theories, raising profound questions about the nature of reality, perception, and existence itself.</p> <p>This book is the first in a trilogy focusing on Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. The topics covered highlight similarities between these systems of thought and the fundamental principles of quantum physics. The similarities are striking.</p> <p>In Buddhism, the concept of impermanence is central. Everything that exists is constantly changing; nothing is static. Similarly, quantum physics teaches us that at the subatomic level, particles do not exist in definite states, but rather in probabilistic states. For example, the famous wave-particle duality suggests that particles can also behave as waves, challenging our traditional understanding of physical matter.</p> <p>The principle of interdependence emphasizes how each phenomenon is connected to all others. In quantum physics, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement illustrates such a network of relationships between particles. When two particles are entangled, the change in the state of one instantaneously affects the other, even at vast distances, proposing a link that transcends space-time barriers.</p> <p>An important part is devoted to the ego illusion (Anatta): Buddhism teaches that the sense of a separate self is an illusion. In quantum physics, our perception of reality is similarly illusory. Many scientific discoveries reveal that our observation alters the observed reality. The famous double-slit experience, for example, shows how simply observing quantum particles alters their behavior.</p> <p>Regarding meditation and mindfulness, Buddhist meditative practices are known to promote a contemplative view of reality, allowing practitioners to follow paths that go beyond the appearance of things. Contemporary scientists, such as physicist David Bohm, have suggested that what we see as 'reality' may be only a surface image of a deeper order, analogous to the states of consciousness achieved through meditation.</p> <p>To illustrate these similarities, it is useful to cite the dialogue between physicist Niels Bohr and Buddhist philosopher Daisetsu Teitar? Suzuki. Bohr, considered one of the fathers of quantum physics, found in Eastern concepts a surprising resonance. In one of his famous quotes, he said:</p> <p>"Physics is not a description of reality, but a construction of our thinking."</p> <p>This is reminiscent of the Buddhist view of perception as a reflection of our mind.</p> <p>Another significant testimony comes from physicist Fritjof Capra, whose book "The Tao of Physics" explores the similarities between modern physics and Eastern philosophies, including Buddhism and Taoism. Capra suggests that quantum reality invokes an interpretation of matter not as a collection of solid objects but as a field of energies, in perfect harmony with Buddhist thought on impermanence.</p> <p>In this first volume, we have drawn the contours of a profound and transformative connection between Buddhism and quantum physics. Exploring these relationships not only enriches our understanding of science, but also invites deeper reflection on how we perceive reality. In an increasingly complex world, Buddhist principles offer a vital cue for a new vision of our place in the universe: a space of interconnectedness, impermanence and awareness.</p> <p>In future volumes we will continue along this path, diving further into the darkness and light of other Eastern philosophical traditions, discovering new dimensions in this fascinating dialogue between ancient wisdoms and modern discoveries.</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。 1,037円

The Power of Fun How to Feel Alive Again【電子書籍】[ Catherine Price ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>If you’re not having fun, you’re not fully living. The bestselling author of <em>The Amazing Generation</em> and <em>How to Break Up with Your Phone</em> makes the case that, far from being frivolous, fun is actually critical to our well-beingーand shows us how to have more of it.</strong></p> <p><strong>“This delightful book might just be what we need to start flourishing.”ー#1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Adam Grant</strong></p> <p>Journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls Fake Funーbingeing on television, doomscrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside.</p> <p>In this follow-up to her hit book, <em>How to Break Up with Your Phone</em>, Price makes the case that True Funーwhich she defines as the magical confluence of playfulness, connection, and flowーwill give us the fulfillment we so desperately seek. If you use True Fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will stop languishing and start flourishing. And best of all? You’ll enjoy the process.</p> <p>Weaving together scientific research with personal experience, Price reveals the surprising mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun, and offers a practical, personalized plan for how we can achieve better screen/life balance and attract more True Fun into our daily livesーwithout feeling overwhelmed.</p> <p>Groundbreaking, eye-opening, and packed with useful advice, <em>The Power of Fun</em> won’t just change the way you think about fun. It will bring you back to life.</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。 1,243円

The Origins of Globalization World Trade in the Making of the Global Economy, 1500?1800【電子書籍】[ Pim de Zwart ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For better or for worse, in recent times the rapid growth of international economic exchange has changed our lives. But when did this process of globalization begin, and what effects did it have on economies and societies? Pim de Zwart and Jan Luiten van Zanden argue that the networks of trade established after the voyages of Columbus and Da Gama of the late fifteenth century had transformative effects inaugurating the first era of globalization. The global flows of ships, people, money and commodities between 1500 and 1800 were substantial, and the re-alignment of production and distribution resulting from these connections had important consequences for demography, well-being, state formation and the long-term economic growth prospects of the societies involved in the newly created global economy. Whether early globalization had benign or malignant effects differed by region, but the world economy as we now know it originated in these changes in the early modern period.</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。 5,173円
