 Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions Enriched edition. Unveiling the Truth Behind Medical Delusions and Pseudoscience【電子書籍】[ Sr. Oliver Wendell Holmes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions," Sr. Oliver Wendell Holmes rigorously critiques the pseudoscientific claims surrounding homeopathy, skillfully weaving a tapestry of medical history, philosophy, and an examination of human credulity. Holmes employs a satirical yet scholarly literary style, marked by incisive wit and keen observation, encouraging readers to question not just homeopathy but the broader context of medical practice in the 19th century, where science and superstition often intersected. The book stands as an important sociocultural document, part of the burgeoning discourse on empirical medicine and rational thought that characterized the period. Holmes, a prominent physician, poet, and essayist, was deeply influenced by the prevailing medical theories of his day, grappling with notions of evidence-based practice while witnessing the widespread acceptance of alternative remedies. His background in law, literature, and medicine endowed him with a unique perspective, which he deftly utilized to challenge the medical fads and delusions that, in his view, undermined genuine progress in healthcare. This book serves as both a critical analysis and a passionate polemic against the unsubstantiated beliefs surrounding alternative medicines. I highly recommend "Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions" to anyone interested in the interplay between medicine and belief, as it provides a profoundly insightful exploration of the dangers of credulity and the necessity of critical thinking in health practices.

 Imagination in Place【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**“Berry's latest collection of essays is the reminiscence of a literary life. It is a book that acknowledges a lifetime of intellectual influences, and in doing so, positions Berry more squarely as a cornerstone of American literature . . . A necessary book. Here, Berry's place as the 'grandfather of slow food' or the 'prophet of rural living' is not questioned. This book ensures we understand the depth and breadth of Berry's art.” ー＜em＞San Francisco Chronicle＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“[A] stellar collection . . . Foodies, architects, transportation engineers, and other writers are adopting and adapting [Berry’s] concepts, perhaps leading to what he envisions will one day be 'an authentic settlement of our country.'“ ー＜em＞The Oregonian＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞A writer who can imagine the “community belonging to its place” is one who has applied his knowledge and citizenship to achieve the goal to which Wendell Berry has always aspiredーto be a native to his own local culture. And for Berry, what is “local, fully imagined, becomes universal,” and the “local” is to know one's place and allow the imagination to inspire and instill “a practical respect for what is there besides ourselves."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Imagination in Place＜/em＞, we travel to the local cultures of several writers important to Berry's life and work, from Wallace Stegner's great West and Ernest Gaines' Louisiana plantation life to Donald Hall's New England, and on to the Western frontier as seen through the Far East lens of Gary Snyder. Berry laments today's dispossessed and displaced, those writers and people with no home and no citizenship, but he argues that there is hope for the establishment of new local cultures in both the practical and literary sense.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rich with Berry's personal experience of life as a Kentucky agrarian, the collection includes portraits of a few of America's most imaginative writers, including James Still, Hayden Carruth, Jane Kenyon, John Haines, and several others.＜/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。 | 1,823円 |

 The World-Ending Fire The Essential Wendell Berry【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**'He is unlike anybody else writing today ... After Donald Trump's election, we urgently need to rediscover the best of radical America. An essential part of that story is Wendell Berry. Few of us can live, or even aspire to, his kind of life. But nobody can risk ignoring him' Andrew Marr＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Wendell Berry is the most important writer and thinker that you have (probably) never heard of. He is an American sage' -James Rebanks, author of ＜em＞The Shepherd's Life＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wendell Berry is 'something of an anachronism'. He began his life as the old times and the last of the old-time people were dying out, and continues to this day in the old ways: a team of work horses and a pencil are his preferred working tools. The writings gathered in ＜em＞The World-Ending Fire＜/em＞ are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of the false call to progress, and in defence of the local landscapes that provide our cultural heritage, our history, our home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out to defend the land we live on. With grace and conviction, he shows that we simply cannot afford to succumb to the mass-produced madness that drives our global economy. The natural world will not withstand it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yet he also shares with us a vision of consolation and of hope. We may be locked in an uneven struggle, but we can and must begin to treat our land, our neighbours, and ourselves with respect and care. We must, as Berry urges, abandon arrogance and stand in awe.＜/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。 | 1,586円 |
 Scaleless Dieting The Essential Survival Kit for the Overweight, Obese and Diabetics【電子書籍】[ Professor Wendell C. Sleet BSME ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Now is the time for Scaleless Dieting. The current market of diet programs, including those with "best-seller" status, demonstrate a 95% failure rate for long-term weight loss for the overweight and obese. Scaleless Dieting claims of 100% safe, sustainable weight loss and general health improvement is unmatched. Scaleless Dieting was designed from decades of research and "common sense" ideas by the author who was in similar physical and mental conditions as many others trying to lose weight and be healthier. Scaleless Dieting is relatively simple, with four basic steps, compared to a majority of the many other diet programs. This makes initiating the program and maintaining it for life extremely easy. Even if the dieter does not follow the steps to Scaleless Dieting explicitly, they can still experience significant health benefits. The diet industry is cruelly dominated by failed and ineffective programs, hypes and misrepresentations. To have a diet system, like Scaleless Dieting, that actually benefits the overweight and obese customers, is crucial for the diet industry and those in need. Now is the time for Scaleless Dieting.＜/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。 | 1,144円 |
 Moral Machines Teaching Robots Right from Wrong【電子書籍】[ Wendell Wallach ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Computers are already approving financial transactions, controlling electrical supplies, and driving trains. Soon, service robots will be taking care of the elderly in their homes, and military robots will have their own targeting and firing protocols. Colin Allen and Wendell Wallach argue that as robots take on more and more responsibility, they must be programmed with moral decision-making abilities, for our own safety. Taking a fast paced tour through the latest thinking about philosophical ethics and artificial intelligence, the authors argue that even if full moral agency for machines is a long way off, it is already necessary to start building a kind of functional morality, in which artificial moral agents have some basic ethical sensitivity. But the standard ethical theories don't seem adequate, and more socially engaged and engaging robots will be needed. As the authors show, the quest to build machines that are capable of telling right from wrong has begun. ＜em＞Moral Machines＜/em＞ is the first book to examine the challenge of building artificial moral agents, probing deeply into the nature of human decision making and ethics.＜/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。 | 4,150円 |

 The City and the Farm Crisis【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.?＜/p＞ ＜p＞All of us togetherーcity people and country peopleーhave to eat. The most significant aspect of the agricultural crisis, Wendell Berry argues, is that we rely on others, namely large-scale farmers, to produce food and carry out land stewardship on our behalf. He believes that it’s dangerous to depend upon the industries that are involved between the grower and the eater of food, such as the transport and chemical industries. If we have to use the land, he says, we have to use it well; we have to use it lovingly. More small-scale farmers are needed who will stay in one place and learn to care for the land and respect its limits, then pass along that knowledge to the next generation. By joining together as producers and consumers, we can support local farmers and protect them from being washed away by bankruptcy. Berry praises the Schumacherian ideal of local independence built on local resources. He believes that nothing could be more hopeful than the idea of a healthy local food 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。 | 162円 |

 Medical Essays【電子書籍】[ Oliver Wendell Holmes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was born on August 29th 1809. Among his many talents were those of physician, poet, professor, lecturer, and author. Here we concentrate on his writing. He was regarded by many of his peers ? including such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and James Russell Lowell ? as one of the finest writers of their times. A great compliment indeed. As a poet he is considered to be one of the Fireside Poets and indeed his poems are works of real talent and quality. As a writer he is perhaps best known for his 'Breakfast Table' series. In this collection we publish his medical essays and show just why he was seen as an important reformer in that field. Holmes retired from Harvard in 1882 but continued to write poetry, novels and essays until his death on October 7th 1894.＜/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。 | 295円 |

 Homeopathy and its Kindred Delusions【電子書籍】[ Oliver Wendell Holmes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞When a physician attempts toconvince a person, who has fallen into the Homoeopathic delusion, of the emptiness of its pretensions, he is often answered by a statement of cases in which its practitioners are thought to have effected wonderful cures. The main object of the first of these Lectures is to show, by abundant facts, that such statements, made by persons unacquainted with the fluctuations of disease and the fallacies of observation, are to be considered in general as of little or no value in establishing the truth of a medicaldoctrine or the utility of a method of practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Those kind friends who suggest to a person suffering from a tedious complaint, that he "Had better try Homoeopathy," are apt to enforce their suggestion by adding, that "at any rate it can do no harm." Thismay or may not be true as regards the individual. But it always does very great harm to the community to encourage ignorance, error, or deception in a profession which deals with the life and health of our fellow-creatures. Whether or not those who countenance Homoeopathy are guilty of this injustice towards others, the second of these Lectures may afford them some means of determining.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To deny that good effects may happen from the observance of diet and regimen when prescribed by Homoeopathists as well asby others, would be very unfair to them. But to suppose that men with minds so constituted as to accept such statements and embrace such doctrines as make up the so-called science of Homoeopathy are more competent than others to regulate the circumstanceswhich influence the human body in health and disease, would be judging very harshly the average capacity of ordinary practitioners.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To deny that some patients may have been actually benefited through the influence exerted upon their imaginations, would beto refuse to Homoeopathy what all are willing to concede to every one of those numerous modes of practice known to all intelligent persons by an opprobrious title.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So long as the body is affected through the mind, no audacious device, even of the most manifestly dishonest character, can fail of producing occasional good to those who yield it an implicit or even a partial faith. The argument founded on this occasional good would be as applicable in justifying the counterfeiter and giving circulation to hisbase coin, on the ground that a spurious dollar had often relieved a poor man's necessities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Homoeopathy has come before our public at a period when the growing spirit of eclecticism has prepared many ingenious and honest minds to listen to all new doctrines with a candor liable to degenerate into weakness. It is not impossible that the pretended evolution of great and mysterious virtues from infinitely attenuated atoms may have enticed a few over-refining philosophers, who have slid into a vague belief that matter subdivided grows less material, and approaches nearer to a spiritual nature as it requires a more powerful microscope for its detection.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However this may be, some persons seem disposed to take the ground of Menzel that the Laity must pass formal judgment between the Physician and the Homoeopathist, as it once did between Luther and the Romanists. The practitioner and the scholar must not, therefore, smile at the amount of time and labor expended in these Lectures upon this shadowy system; which, inthe calm and serious judgment of many of the wisest members of the medical profession, is not entitled by anything it has ever said or done to the notoriety of a public rebuke, still less to the honors of critical martyrdom.＜/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。 | 295円 |

With meticulous attention to detail, Williston employs a blend of descriptive narrative and scientific rigor, inviting readers into a comprehensive examination of morphology, habitat, and the evolutionary lineage of these fascinating creatures. The text is steeped in the Victorian scientific tradition, characterized by thorough field observations, analytical drawings, and an empirical approach that underscores the depth of paleontological study during his era, positioning this work within a broader discourse on natural history. Williston, a prominent American paleontologist and professor, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning field of vertebrate paleontology in the late 19th century. His extensive fieldwork, particularly in the American West, and collaborations with leading scientists provided him with a wealth of firsthand knowledge, which he skillfully translates into this text. His passion for understanding life's diversity is evident, stemming from a commitment to education and scientific inquiry, which shaped his scholarly perspective on reptilian evolution. This book is a vital resource for anyone interested in paleontology, herpetology, or the history of life on Earth.

 【古本】 Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture (Revised) - Wendell Berry (Counterpoint) 【紙書籍】 9780871568779 Roundabout Books | タイトル: Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture (Revised)著者: Wendell Berry出版社: Counterpoint出版日: 2004年11月01日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Since its publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline. Today's agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land--from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it. Sadly, his arguments and observations are more relevant than ever. Although "this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong," Berry writes, there are people working "to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth." Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction. | 18,092円 |
 Mangiare ? un atto agricolo【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Viviamo nell’attesa che la nostra giornata di lavoro finisca, nell’attesa delle vacanze e della pensione. Non lavoriamo perch? amiamo il nostro lavoro, perch? ci ? necessario esistenzialmente, oltre che economicamente, ma per poterlo finalmente lasciare. Questo pensiero, ormai largamente diffuso in tutte le classi sociali, ? frutto dell’economia industriale, che ci ha fatto smarrire il valore umano di ci? che facciamo e ci ha reso estraneo ci? che produciamo. La meccanizzazione del lavoro ci ha poi portato a pensare alla terra come a una macchina, e non come a una creatura vivente, la cui salute dipende dal buon funzionamento di tutti i suoi organi. L’effetto sull’agricoltura di questo approccio, indifferente ai principi fondamentali della vita, ? stato ed ? devastante, anche perch? essa abbraccia tutto ci? che riguarda la sopravvivenza e il benessere dell’uomo: il suolo, l’aria, l’acqua, le piante, gli animali, la produzione di cibo, quindi di energia. In questa raccolta di saggi, da uomo e da contadino, Wendell Berry riflette sui problemi dell’agricoltura contemporanea e ci indica un cammino non solo auspicabile ma gi? perseguito da molti, in cui ritorna centrale la gestione responsabile e amorevole della terra e delle creature che su di essa vivono, in cui il coltivare si fonda su principi sostenibili, ecologici e biologici, piuttosto che su principi meccanicisti orientati a ottenere proventi tanto rapidi quanto dannosi. Un cammino in cui nessuno pu? pi? permettersi di ignorare i processi di produzione che portano sulle nostre tavole ci? di cui ci nutriamo. Se torneremo a essere consapevoli che ≪mangiare ? un atto agricolo≫? inevitabilmente lo saremo anche di tutto quanto vi ? connesso e ci preoccuperemo del benessere delle generazioni presenti e future e dunque della natura, di quel luogo che ci ospita e in cui cresce ci? che ci permette di esistere.＜/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。 | 2,000円 |
 A Dangerous Master How to Keep Technology from Slipping Beyond Our Control【電子書籍】[ Wendell Wallach ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞We live in an age of awesome technological potential. From nanotechnology to synthetic organisms, new technologies stand to revolutionize whole domains of human experience. But with awesome potential comes awesome risk: drones can deliver a bomb as readily as they can a new smartphone; makers and hackers can 3D-print guns as well as tools; and supercomputers can short-circuit Wall Street just as easily as they can manage your portfolio.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One thing these technologies can't do is answer the profound moral issues they raise. Who should be held accountable when they go wrong? What responsibility do we, as creators and users, have for the technologies we build? In ＜em＞A Dangerous Master＜/em＞, ethicist Wendell Wallach tackles such difficult questions with hard-earned authority, imploring both producers and consumers to face the moral ambiguities arising from our rapid technological growth. There is no doubt that scientific research and innovation are a source of promise and productivity, but, as Wallach, argues, technological development is at risk of becoming a juggernaut beyond human control. Examining the players, institutions, and values lobbying against meaningful regulation of everything from autonomous robots to designer drugs, ＜em＞A Dangerous Master＜/em＞ proposes solutions for regaining control of our technological destiny.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wallach's nuanced study offers both stark warnings and hope, navigating both the fears and hype surrounding technological innovations. An engaging, masterful analysis of the elements we must manage in our quest to survive as a species, ＜em＞A Dangerous Master＜/em＞ forces us to confront the practical -- and moral -- purposes of our creations.＜/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。 | 2,475円 |
 Deadly Spin An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans【電子書籍】[ Wendell Potter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A behind the scenes look at how a huge portion of our absurd healthcare spending actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A former senior VP of CIGNA, Wendell Potter made national headlines with his scorching testimony before the Senate panel on health care reform. He explained how health insurers make promises they have no intention of keeping, how they flout regulations designed to protect consumers, and how they skew political debate with multibillion-dollar PR campaigns designed to spread disinformation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Potter had walked away from a six-figure salary and two decades as an insurance executive because he could no longer abide the routine practices of an industry where the needs of sick and suffering Americans take a backseat to the bottom line. The last straw: when he visited a rural health clinic and saw hundreds of people standing in line in the rain to receive treatment in stalls built for livestock.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Potter shows how relentless PR assaults play an insidious role in our political process anywhere that corporate profits are at stake-from climate change to defense policy. ＜em＞Deadly Spin＜/em＞ tells us why-and how-we must fight back.＜/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。 | 1,876円 |
 Moral Machines Teaching Robots Right from Wrong【電子書籍】[ Wendell Wallach ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Computers are already approving financial transactions, controlling electrical supplies, and driving trains. Soon, service robots will be taking care of the elderly in their homes, and military robots will have their own targeting and firing protocols. Colin Allen and Wendell Wallach argue that as robots take on more and more responsibility, they must be programmed with moral decision-making abilities, for our own safety. Taking a fast paced tour through the latest thinking about philosophical ethics and artificial intelligence, the authors argue that even if full moral agency for machines is a long way off, it is already necessary to start building a kind of functional morality, in which artificial moral agents have some basic ethical sensitivity. But the standard ethical theories don't seem adequate, and more socially engaged and engaging robots will be needed. As the authors show, the quest to build machines that are capable of telling right from wrong has begun. ＜em＞Moral Machines＜/em＞ is the first book to examine the challenge of building artificial moral agents, probing deeply into the nature of human decision making and ethics.＜/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。 | 4,150円 |
 Cell Signaling, 2nd edition Principles and Mechanisms【電子書籍】[ Wendell A. Lim ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Cell Signaling＜/em＞ provides undergraduate and graduate students with the conceptual tools needed to make sense of the dizzying array of pathways that cells use to detect, process, and respond to signals from the environment. By emphasizing the common design principles and molecular processes that underlie all signaling mechanisms, the book develops a broad conceptual framework through which students can understand diverse signaling pathways and networks. The book first examines the common currencies of cellular information processing and the core components of the signaling machinery. It then shows how these individual components link together into networks and pathways to perform more sophisticated tasks. Many specific examples are provided throughout to illustrate common principles, and to provide a comprehensive overview of major signaling pathways.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thoroughly revised, this second edition includes two new chapters and substantial updates to the text and figures throughout the book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Key features:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞The book provides a conceptual framework through which all signaling pathways can be understood without memorization of details＜/li＞ ＜li＞It is extensively illustrated, including high-quality diagrams and schematics to elucidate important concepts and processes＜/li＞ ＜li＞Each chapter concludes with a useful summary section that brings together the key concepts＜/li＞ ＜li＞End-of-chapter review questions test the reader’s understanding of the material covered＜/li＞ ＜li＞Two new chapters have been written especially for this edition: "Signaling and Disease" and "Diversity in Signaling across Phylogeny"＜/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。 | 18,724円 |
 Life's End Technocratic Dying in an Age of Spiritual Yearning【電子書籍】[ David Wendell Moller ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The explicit purpose of this book is to analyze dying and death in the cosmopolitan, modern setting. There is, however, an additional theme that is implicit in the analysis and observations. The portrait of dying, which is provided in the pages of the book, also tells us a great deal about life. It demonstrates that the foundation for the medicalization of death that piercingly shapes the life experience of dying persons and loved ones is a product of the ways of life in the broader culture.＜/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。 | 4,720円 |
