The Stories of the North Complete Collection【電子書籍】[ Jack London ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Stories of the North," Jack London invites readers into the harsh and compelling wilderness of the Yukon Territory, weaving together a tapestry of adventure, survival, and the elemental struggle against nature. The collection showcases London's vivid prose, characterized by his mastery of naturalism and a deep understanding of the human condition when faced with insurmountable odds. Each tale, steeped in the realities of the Gold Rush era, offers a raw portrayal of both the opportunism and desperation that defined that period, reflecting not only the physical challenges of the environment but also the psychological battles of individuals molded by their experiences. Jack London, an influential American writer known for his rugged narratives and socialist themes, drew from his own experiences in the Klondike Gold Rush to inform these stories. His early life, characterized by poverty and a relentless quest for adventure, instilled in him a profound appreciation for the interplay between humanity and nature, which is exquisitely articulated in this collection. It is through his unique lens as a participant and observer that London was able to infuse his narratives with authenticity and philosophical depth. For readers fascinated by the intersection of man and nature, "The Stories of the North" is an essential exploration that transcends its time. London's ability to evoke the ferocity of the elements and the tenacity of the human spirit makes this collection not only a gripping read but also a poignant reflection on resilience. It is a must-read for those who seek to understand the depths of human ambition and the relentless forces of the natural 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。 310円

Open Heart A Cardiac Surgeon's Stories of Life and Death on the Operating Table【電子書籍】[ Stephen Westaby ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In gripping prose, one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons lays bare both the wonder and the horror of a life spent a heartbeat away from death</strong></p> <p>When Stephen Westaby witnessed a patient die on the table during open-heart surgery for the first time, he was struck by the quiet, determined way the surgeons walked away. As he soon understood, this detachment is a crucial survival strategy in a profession where death is only a heartbeat away. In <em>Open Heart</em>, Westaby reflects on over 11,000 surgeries, showing us why the procedures have never become routine and will never be. With astonishing compassion, he recounts harrowing and sometimes hopeful stories from his operating room: we meet a pulseless man who lives with an electric heart pump, an expecting mother who refuses surgery unless the doctors let her pregnancy reach full term, and a baby who gets a heart transplant-only to die once it's in place.</p> <p>For readers of Atul Gawande's <em>Being Mortal</em> and of Henry Marsh's <em>Do No Harm</em>, <em>Open Heart</em> offers a soul-baring account of a life spent in constant confrontation with death.</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。 2,321円

The Deadly Dinner Party: and Other Medical Detective Stories【電子書籍】[ Jonathan A. Edlow ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<P>Picking up where Berton Rouech?’s <I>The Medical Detectives</I> left off, <I>The Deadly Dinner Party</I> presents fifteen edge-of-your-seat, real-life?medical detective stories written by a practicing physician. Award-winning author Jonathan Edlow, M.D., shows the doctor as detective and the epidemiologist as elite sleuth in stories that are as gripping as the best thrillers.<p>In these stories a notorious stomach bug turns a suburban dinner party into a disaster that almost claims its host; a diminutive woman routinely eats more than her football-playing boyfriend but continually loses weight; a young executive is diagnosed with lung cancer, yet the tumors seem to wax and wane inexplicably. Written for the lay person who wishes to better grasp how doctors decipher the myriad clues and puzzling symptoms they often encounter, each story presents a very different case where doctors must work to find the accurate diagnosis before it is too late. Edlow uses his unique ability to relate complex medical concepts in a writing style that is clear, engaging and easily understandable. The resulting stories both entertain us and teach us much about medicine, its history and the subtle interactions among pathogens, humans, and the environment.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。 3,548円

Working with Critical Realism Stories of Methodological Encounters【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This international and interdisciplinary collection gathers stories from researchers and research students about their methodological encounters with critical realism. Whether the contributors are experienced or novice researchers, they are predominantly new to critical realism. For various reasons, as the contributors’ detail, they have all been drawn to critical realism.</p> <p>It is well known that critical realism can be bewildering and even overwhelming to newcomers, especially to those unfamiliar with language of, and without a grounding in, philosophy. While there are now numerous and important introductory and applied critical realist texts that make critical realism more accessible to a broader audience, stories from newcomers have been absent ? especially as part of a single collection.</p> <p>The significance and uniqueness of this collection lies in its documentation of first-hand reflective insights on the practical use and implementation of critical realism. The contributors feature critical realist inspired research journeys in Australia, England, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden, and Spain.</p> <p>The hope of this book is that the stories and accounts presented in it will inspire ? or at least sufficiently arouse ? the curiosity of others to explore critical realist possibilities, which we believe offer enormous value to serious researchers across and within all disciplines and subjects who are interested in rigorous intellectual work with a socially progressive purpose.</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。 8,759円

The Spirit of the Organs Twelve stories for practitioners and patients【電子書籍】[ John Hamwee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the Chinese medicine tradition, understanding and resonating with the spirit of the organs leads to better diagnosis and more effective, powerful treatment.

Written to give Chinese medicine practitioners new ways to reflect on each organ in the most complete way, this book is also a lighthearted yet profound introduction to the heart of the Chinese medical tradition.</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。 2,743円

These five approaches are: photojournalism, interactive photojournalism, stylized aware posing, stylized unaware posing, and story development.</p> </li> <li></li> </ul> <p><strong>Expert Components.</strong></p> <ul> <li></li> <li>The final section builds and expands on everything covered in the previous components, as Roberto addresses such topics as Emotionally Valuable People (EVP), lens choices, helper light, posing patterns (and when to break them), capturing “peak action,” achieving a unique perspective, and creating multi-layered stories within a single photograph.</li> </ul> <p>At a wedding, each photograph has the opportunity to convey a special moment and contribute to the rich, visual story of your clients’ most important day. As the photographer, you are both the director and the documentarian of that story.</p> <p><strong>With <em>Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1,</em> by your side, you finally have a book that teaches you the skills you need to learn in order to create amazing images and craft masterful stories filled with beauty, emotion, and meaning.</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。 5,803円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Shell-Shock and Other Neuropsychiatric Problems," Elmer Ernest Southard presents a pioneering exploration of the psychological consequences of warfare, emphasizing the emerging understanding of shell shock, now recognized as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Through a meticulous examination of neuropsychiatric conditions prevalent during World War I, Southard employs a clinical yet empathetic literary style, weaving case studies and empirical research with nuanced analysis. His work sits at the intersection of psychology and military history, reflecting the early 20th-century shift toward recognizing mental health as a critical component of soldier welfare amid the horrors of modern combat. Elmer Ernest Southard, a prominent neurologist and psychiatrist of his time, was deeply influenced by the societal upheavals and medical advancements following the Great War. His experiences in treating soldiers suffering from psychological trauma shaped his commitment to understanding the complexities of the human mind under duress. Southard'??s profound insights into neuropsychiatry were fueled by both his academic background and firsthand observations, positioning him as a forerunner in advocating for a compassionate approach to mental health. This book is a vital contribution to both psychological literature and historical scholarship, highly recommended for mental health professionals, historians, and readers interested in the psychological implications of warfare. Southard's illuminating perspectives encourage a deeper appreciation for the psychological scars borne by soldiers, urging contemporary readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of war-related trauma.</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。 310円

<p>Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?</p> <p>No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancerーeither as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.</p> <p>Hearing their moving stories, which were influenced by many different forms of past and present trauma, transformed my cycling odyssey into a journey of emotional self-discovery as I relived the chaos and emotional upheaval of cancer through them: from the man who found true love after losing his soulmate to cancer, to the elite athlete who had to reckon with his all-star body finally letting him down, to the medical oncologist who cares as much <em>about</em> her patients as she cares <em>for</em> them.</p> <p>Whether you or someone you care about is going through cancer or some other major trauma, I hope this thought-provoking collection of astonishing stories can help you, too.</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。 1,288円

Psychoanalysis, Neuroscience and the Stories of Our Lives The Relational Roots of Mental Health【電子書籍】[ Sarah Sutton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Psychoanalysis, Neuroscience and the Stories of Our Lives: The Relational Roots of Mental Health</em> offers a new understanding of identity and mental health, shining the light of twenty-first century neurobiology on the core tenets of psychoanalysis. Accessibly written, it outlines the great leaps forward in neuroscience over the past three decades, and the consequent implications for understanding mental health symptoms today.</p> <p>Central to the book is the idea that the seeds of mental illness are discovered not in the individual’s own fallibilities, but in the complex relationships we experience from our very first moments. Integrating the latest neuroscientific research, it depicts the individual as inherently interdependent with their environment, their neurobiological and emotional foundations framed by the context in which they are raised. Integrating traditional psychoanalytic ideas with findings from neurobiology and neuroscience, it reframes the oedipal set up, examines clinical depression as the presence of absence, and revisits resistance and the neurobiology of denial. Weaving narratives drawn from clinical practice, and highlighting implications for contemporary lives, the book is a tour de force, smashing the myth that our minds develop separately from the world around us.</p> <p>This clear, lucid book, providing a timely overview of emotional and neurobiological development, will appeal to both psychologists and psychoanalysts. It will be also be a key reference work for mental health professionals, particularly those working in early years services.</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。 6,447円

On Neurogenic Communication Disorders: Original Short Stories and Case Studies Second Edition【電子書籍】[ Dennis C. Tanner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>On Neurogenic Communication Disorders: Original Short Stories and Case Studies is a unique book. It is a collection of short stories and case studies about persons with neurogenic communication disorders. The short stories are based on people I have known as friends, acquaintances, or patients. The characters in the short stories are based on one person or a composite of several individuals. I have placed these characters in interesting fictional situations which provide a vehicle for showing their mettle in dealing with their communication disorders and life challenges. The case studies are based on actual clinical cases and situations, but literary license has been taken to make them reader-friendly and interesting. This book of short stories and case studies is not a scholarly clinical treatise on neurogenic communication disorders, nor does it aspire to be one. While I believe it provides accurate information about neurogenic communication disorders, it is a work of fiction and simply a different vehicle for understanding these complex and often devastating medical conditions.</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

The Sun's Heartbeat And Other Stories from the Life of the Star That Powers Our Planet【電子書籍】[ Bob Berman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The beating heart of the sun is the very pulse of life on earth. And from the ancients who plotted its path at Stonehenge to the modern scientists who unraveled the nuclear fusion reaction that turns mass into energy, humankind has sought to solve its mysteries. In this lively biography of the sun, Bob Berman ranges from its stellar birth to its spectacular future death with a focus on the wondrous and enthralling, and on the heartbreaking sacrifice, laughable errors, egotistical battles, and brilliant inspirations of the people who have tried to understand its power.</p> <p>What, exactly, are the ghostly streaks of light astronauts see-but can't photograph-when they're in space? And why is it impossible for two people to see the exact same rainbow? Why are scientists beginning to think that the sun is safer than sunscreen? And how does the fluctuation of sunspots-and its heartbeat-affect everything from satellite communications to wheat production across the globe?</p> <p>Peppered with mind-blowing facts and memorable anecdotes about spectral curiosities-the recently-discovered "second sun" that lurks beneath the solar surface, the eerie majesty of a total solar eclipse-<em>The Sun's Heartbeat</em> offers a robust and entertaining narrative of how the Sun has shaped humanity and our understanding of the universe around us.</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。 1,936円
