 Racism in the Neoliberal Era A Meta History of Elite White Power【電子書籍】[ Randolph Hohle ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Racism in the Neoliberal Era＜/em＞ explains how simple racial binaries like black/white are no longer sufficient to explain the persistence of racism, capitalism, and elite white power. The neoliberal era features the largest black middle class in US history and extreme racial marginalization. Hohle focuses on how the origins and expansion of neoliberalism depended on language or semiotic assemblage of white-private and black public. The language of neoliberalism explains how the white racial frame operates like a web of racial meanings that connect social groups with economic policy, geography, and police brutality. When America was racially segregated, elites consented to political pressure to develop and fund white-public institutions. The black civil rights movement eliminated legal barriers that prevented racial integration. In response to black civic inclusion, elite whites used a language of white-private/black-public to deregulate the Voting Rights Act and banking. They privatized neighborhoods, schools, and social welfare, creating markets around poverty. They oversaw the mass incarceration and systemic police brutality against people of color. Citizenship was recast as a privilege instead of a right. Neoliberalism is the result of the latest elite white strategy to maintain political and economic power.＜/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。 | 9,602円 |
 Elite Capture How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else)【電子書籍】[ Ol?f??mi O. T??w? ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞“Identity politics” is everywhere, polarizing discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media, both online and off. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective. While the Collective articulated a political viewpoint grounded in their own position as Black lesbians with the explicit aim of building solidarity across lines of difference, identity politics is now frequently weaponized as a means of closing ranks around ever-narrower conceptions of group interests.＜br /＞ But the trouble, Ol?f??mi O. T??w? deftly argues, is not with identity politics itself. Through a substantive engagement with the global Black radical tradition and a critical understanding of racial capitalism, T??w? identifies the process by which a radical concept can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential by becoming the victim of elite captureーdeployed by political, social, and economic elites in the service of their own interests.＜br /＞ T??w?’s crucial intervention both elucidates this complex process and helps us move beyond a binary of “class” vs. “race.” By rejecting elitist identity politics in favor of a constructive politics of radical solidarity, he advances the possibility of organizing across our differences in the urgent struggle for a better 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。 | 2,155円 |
 Africa’s Elite Football Structure, Politics, and Everyday Challenges【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book explores various aspects of intranational elite football in Africa, drawing on the expertise of notable scholars from across the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Africa’s Elite Football focuses on an area largely ignored by current scholarship on African football, where interest has focused on international migration. In exploring the intranational, the book is written in two parts. The first is a general focus on the continent, and the second is an examination of country cases. The general focus of the book is on the nature of elite tier leagues, the relationship between politics and football, the media, youth academies, intranational migration and fans. Notably, chapters on topics such as intranational migration present groundbreaking scholarship in this area. Currently, football discourses on migration focus on international migration of footballers, yet the majority of migration in African football is intranational. Thus, by addressing the intranational, this book brings attention to an area that is underrepresented in the current academic discourse. The second part of the book, which focuses on country cases, covers Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The topics explored in those cases include religiosity, health, women’s football, media and management. The coverage of health-related issues is particularly important given that several books on African football rarely broach such a topic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With its unique approach to African football, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of sports history, African studies, politics in sports and African sports.＜/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。 | 9,265円 |
 Winners Take All The Elite Charade of Changing the World【電子書籍】[ Anand Giridharadas ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? The groundbreaking investigation of how the global elite's efforts to "change the world" preserve the status quo and obscure their role in causing the problems they later seek to solve. An essential read for understanding some of the egregious abuses of power that dominate today’s news.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Impassioned.... Entertaining reading.” ー＜em＞The Washington Post＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, where the rich and powerful fight for equality and justice any way they canーexcept ways that threaten the social order and their position atop it. They rebrand themselves as saviors of the poor; they lavishly reward “thought leaders” who redefine “change” in ways that preserve the status quo; and they constantly seek to do more good, but never less harm.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Giridharadas asks hard questions: Why, for example, should our gravest problems be solved by the unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions it erodes by lobbying and dodging taxes? His groundbreaking investigation has already forced a great, sorely needed reckoning among the world’s wealthiest and those they hover above, and it points toward an answer: Rather than rely on scraps from the winners, we must take on the grueling democratic work of building more robust, egalitarian institutions and truly changing the worldーa call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike.＜/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。 | 2,427円 |

 Routledge Handbook of Mental Health in Elite Sport【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Mental health is a rapidly increasing topic in the field of sport psychology. As the relevance of athletes’ mental health has come to prominence through emerging research, there is a high demand for evidence-based practice in order to promote athletes' mental health and prevent mental disorders as well as maladaptive syndromes.

 Italian Navy & Air Force Elite Units & Special Forces 1940?45【電子書籍】[ Piero Crociani ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞This volume assesses the formidable Special Forces fielded by Italy's navy and air force in World War II.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Italian Navy Special Forces were particularly active and respected in the Mediterranean, where 10th Motor-Torpedo Boat Flotilla used frogmen, 'two-man torpedoes' and explosive ram-boats.

In both cases, the pro-Allied Italian forces also formed 'mirror' units to fight alongside US and British forces, including the Recce Squadron 'F'.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Featuring rare photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this book tells the story of the little-known elite forces fielded by Italy's navy and air force in World War II, some of whose successors remain in service with today's Italian armed forces.＜/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。 | 2,264円 |
 Our Occulted History Do the Global Elite Conceal Ancient Aliens?【電子書籍】[ Jim Marrs ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The author of ＜em＞Alien Agenda＜/em＞ illustrates how human civilization may have originated with non-humans who visited earth eons ago . . . and may still be here.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For years we’ve been taught that human progress has been a long, slow climb from the primordial ooze to hunter-gatherers to empires. But what if that’s only part of the story?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bestselling author and legendary conspiracy researcher Jim Marrs, who has investigated the recent financial crisis, the JFK assassination, and the national socialist takeover of America, now takes on his biggest subject: the history of mankind. Our Occulted History overturns conventional knowledge and beliefs, presenting compelling evidence that the earth once hosted prehistoric civilizations using technologies that very well may have surpassed our own. Sound unbelievable? Just a few hundred years ago, so was the concept that the earth revolved around the sun.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marrs sifts through the historical, scientific, and cultural record, showing how numerous ancient texts and tablets tell of visitors from the stars colonizing the earth. From the flying vimanas of the Hindu Vedic literature and the flying shields reported by the Romans to the mysterious airships of the 1800s and the UFOs of today, he argues that someone other than us is still present on this planet. But are these visitors simply observersーor do they play a much more active and controlling role? Jim Marrs raises this shocking question and more in the provocative and persuasive Our Occulted History.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The truth is out there . . . and in here.＜/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。 | 2,112円 |
 Democratic Transition and Consolidation in Romania Civic engagement and elite behavior after 1989【電子書籍】[ Drago? Dragoman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Democratic transition is a very complex phenomenon. It relies on the outcome of the political competition between key actors during its initial stages, as well as on economic, social, and structural constraints inherited from the previous authoritarian regime. The book compares both series of factors by focusing on citizens’ democratic engagement and on political elites’ behavior. Despite a strong path-dependency to the previous authoritarian structures and low levels of initial democratic resources, citizens made proof of remarkable willingness to support democracy. By street protests, they even pressured political populist elites in power to abandon radical undemocratic regime changes. Romania managed therefore to maintain its European course and to avoid serious democratic backsliding.＜/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。 | 6,552円 |

They elevated Bomber Command - initially the only part of the Allied war effort capable of attacking the heart of Nazi Germany - from an impotent force on the cusp of disintegration in 1942 to one capable of razing whole German cities to the ground in a single night, striking with devastating accuracy, inspiring fear and loathing in Hitler's senior command.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With exclusive interviews with remaining survivors, personal diaries, previously classified records and never-before seen photographs, ＜em＞The Pathfinders＜/em＞ brings to life the characters of the airmen and women - many barely out of their teens - who took to the skies in legendary British aircraft such as the Lancaster and the Mosquito, facing almost unimaginable levels of violence from enemy fighter planes to strike at the heart of the Nazi war machine.＜/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。 | 2,301円 |
 Independent Diplomat Despatches from an Unaccountable Elite【電子書籍】[ Carne Ross ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Independent Diplomat is a compelling insider's account of the foreign policy world. Carne Ross was a diplomat on the front line of today's most pressing issues, from Israel/Palestine to Afghanistan and Iraq, over which he resigned from the British Foreign Office. He was trained to see the world through a prism of states and interests, but the reality of his negotiations revealed very different - more complex, and more human - forces at play. Independent Diplomat exposes this fundamental weakness of institutional diplomacy: exclusion of those most affected by its outcomes, whether at the UN, the EU or within national foreign ministries. Illustrated with vivid episodes from his career - from New York to Kabul - Ross offers a refreshing critique of contemporary diplomacy and of how to put it right.＜/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。 | 1,287円 |

Author Deanna Spingola discusses how the diaspora-distributed international bankers living and prospering in Britain, France, and America influenced greedy, compromised, and complicit politicians in those nations. The Ruling Elite explains that through deceptive propaganda, those politicians persuaded nave citizens to wage war against Germany, a peace-loving nation whose leaders were uncooperative with the bankers, which led to World War I. Following that war, German officials rejected the bankers and their money-lending scheme to save their nation and its citizens from the burden of debt. The aftermath of World War IIa deadly war that killed millions and imposed communism in numerous countriesimpacted every banker-occupied country in various ways: culturally, morally, politically, and economically. Researched through historical documents and scholarly works, The Ruling Elite describes how warmongers regularly project their criminal activities onto others, frequently blaming the victim, whether an individual or a nation. Spingola offers an unbiased look at World War II beginning with Hitler and the rebirth of Germany through the aftermath of the war.＜/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。 | 1,481円 |

 U.S. Special Warfare The Elite Combat Skills Of America's Modern Armed Forces【電子書籍】[ Samuel A. Southworth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For many centuries, the job of everyday soldiers, the "grunts," was the same-"see the hill, take the hill." But the combat role of today's U.S. soldier has undergone a radical change. The recent revolution in the art of soldiering in America emphasizes a smaller, but more highly specialized and technologically equipped, armed force. Now, even everyday soldiers in America's armed forces specialize in elite combat skills that use the very latest high-tech equipment.After basic training, many of today's recruits continue advanced training in one of the new emerging combat specialties, such as urban, mountain and arctic warfare; amphibious, underwater and small boat operations; modern cavalry combat; sniping; military intelligence and psychological warfare; search and rescue procedures, and combat engineering.In lively and entertaining prose, military historian Sam Southworth describes these emerging combat specialties-as well as the training and equipment for each-that characterize America's fighting force today.＜/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。 | 1,483円 |
 Postdemokratische Symptome der politischen Elite in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland【電子書籍】[ Andreas Wei? ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,3, Universit?t Augsburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Demokratie und ihre Verfahren kommen immer wieder in die Kritik. Sei es die einseitige Wirkung von massenmedialer Vermittlung politischen Geschehens, sei es der unterschiedlich hoch bewertete Einfluss von Wirtschaft auf Entscheidungstr?ger oder der irrationale W?hler selbst - Vereinzelt treten diese und andere Kritikpunkte immer wieder in die Diskussion um Demokratie und deren Funktionalit?t sowie Effizienz. Colin Crouch diagnostizierte mit seinem Werk 'Postdemokratie' verschiedenartige M?ngel der Demokratie. Die Bandbreite der Verfehlungen westlicher Systeme wurde dabei nahezu ersch?pfend ?ber das gesamte Arbeitsfeld der politischen Institutionen ausgeweitet und somit auch die politischen Parteien nicht verschont. Letzteren wirft Crouch im Rahmen des von ihm beschriebenen Prozesses Entwicklungen vor, die nicht im Interesse der Gesellschaft sein k?nnen. Es sind eben diese Entwicklungen, die ich in der folgenden Arbeit rekonstruieren m?chte und schlie?lich mit der Zusammensetzung politischer F?hrungskr?fte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als Kontrastfolie auf ihre Plausibilit?t hin pr?fen m?chte. Im Zentrum dieser Er?rterung steht wesentlich die Frage ob die Diagnosen von Colin Crouch auf die Bundesrepublik anwendbar sind. Im Rahmen dieser Ausarbeitung kann freilich keine umfangreiche Forschung betrieben werden. Dennoch m?chte ich Argumente liefern die eine Beurteilung der Lage meinerseits erm?glichen. Zun?chst m?chte ich die zentralen Thesen aus Crouchs Werk wiedergeben, um daraufhin speziell die auf die Lage der Parteien im Rahmen von 'Postdemokratie' einzugehen.＜/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。 | 1,085円 |

 Karriere, Elite, Exzellenzinitiative - Die studentische Elite im internationalen Vergleich Die studentische Elite im internationalen Vergleich【電子書籍】[ Dominique Bl?mke ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Beruf, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 2,3, Martin-Luther-Universit?t Halle-Wittenberg, Veranstaltung: Individualit?t und Karriere (Seminar), 14 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt einen Ausblick auf die Entwicklung der Elitenbildung an Deutschlands Hochschulen dar und ?berpr?ft den Zusammenhang zwischen Elite und Karriere. Hierzu wird die Gruppe der studentischen Elite und ihre unterschiedlichen Auspr?gungen in Frankreich, den USA und Deutschland untersucht. Im Fokus der Arbeit zum einen die genaue Betrachtung des Elitebegriffes selbst und es wird gezeigt, dass dieser auf unterschiedlichste Art und Weise interpretiert werden kann. Des Weiteren werden die unterschiedlichen Zugangsvoraussetzungen f?r Elitehochschulen in den drei genannten L?ndern sowie die Repr?sentation der Absolventen in elit?ren Positionen genauer betrachtet. Aus diesen Betrachtungen wird ein Ausblick auf die m?gliche Entwicklung und eine aktuelle Bewertung der deutschen Exzellenzinitiative gegeben. Entgegen der weitl?ufigen Meinung eine Ausbildung an einer Elitehochschule sei nur den Besten vorbehalten, stellt sich heraus, dass habituelle Pr?ferenzen ebenso f?r die Aufnahme an eine Elitehochschule von Bedeutung sind wie der Faktor Geld. Weiter wird gezeigt, dass der Elitebegriff eine hohe Komplexit?t aufweist, die leicht zu Fehlinterpretationen f?hren kann. Abschlie?end wird der Elitebegriff auf seinen Zusammenhang zum Begriff der Karriere hin untersucht und es wird festgestellt, dass die Begriffe weder aufeinander aufbauen noch strikt miteinander in Verbindung stehen.

 S.B.S. - The Special Boat Squadron A History Of Britains Elite Forces【電子書籍】[ Phillip Warner ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | The Special Boat Squadron, or SBS, is one of the most admired, respected and feared Special Forces units in the world. The date of the formation of the SBS is a matter of some debate. Officially it is the 14th April 1942, but long before that date SBS forces had been harassing the enemy in an unofficial existence; soon it was to be put on a more formal footing. Today, decades after the final curtain has dropped on World War II, it is a mystery to many people, particularly those in the regular forces, how the war managed to foster so many small, unorthodox formations like the SBS. In this book Philip Warner reveals much of the workings and history of this tight knit group that with so little did so much to impact upon World War II and subsequent campaigns. Their exploits, heroism and efforts are a continuing and extraordinary tribute to those that fell and those who continue to serve.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。 | 1,481円 |
 Administered Politics Elite Political Culture in Sweden【電子書籍】[ T.J. Anton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Several years ago, freshly returned from a year in Stockholm but deeply en meshed in the American Malaise of the late 1960's, I sketched out an image of Swedish policy-making that defined a generalized policy-making role and sought to relate that role to both citizen attitudes and the elite political culture 1 in Sweden. Although that sketch seems to have been taken seriously by other foreigners, I think it is fair to say that the principal reaction of my Swedish friends and colleagues was amusement. When I later (1970-71) returned for another year in Stockholm, I found myself being introduced at parties as the man who had written ''that marvelously out-of-date sketch of how Swedish politics used to work-hah, hah. " Or, I would be referred to as the American who, like Marquis Childs some years earlier, "believed our propaganda. " By 1970-71, of course, the Swedish political environment had become more boisterous than it had been in 1967-68. Indeed, during the course of that year my amused colleagues found themselves enmeshed in a strike action against the government that was part of an emotional series of such actions that some observers thought would bring most public services to a halt. If my earlier portrait had been influenced (too much, they thought) by the American Malaise in which I was implicated, so must their later reaction to my portrait have been influenced (too much, I thought) by the Swedish Turmoil of 1970 and 1971.＜/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。 | 18,231円 |
 The Knowledge Elite and the Failure of Prophecy【電子書籍】[ Eva Etzioni-Halevy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞First published in 1985, ＜em＞The Knowledge Elite and the Failure of Prophecy＜/em＞ presents a demystification of the role of the Knowledge Elite, or the role many intellectuals have purported to play in modern, Western, society. The author debunks their role as self-proclaimed prophets in charge of foretelling (or ‘forecasting’ as it is more fashionably called) things to come and in charge of guiding society towards a better future ? devised by themselves. Scholars who have converged on the idea of the ‘post-industrial’ society have argued that the theoretical knowledge provided by what they call the Knowledge Class has been more useful than ever in guiding society towards greater rationality, affluence, equity, and liberty. In contrast, this book presents the argument that it is precisely in these years that the benefits of the knowledge provided by intellectuals have petered out, that its dubious and even harmful effects have become more prominent, and that the knowledge provided by intellectuals has been instrumental in helping to bring about a more confused society ? a society increasingly incapable of coping with its mounting problems.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a book on intellectuals, for intellectuals, by an intellectual. It is a book of social commentary, critique, and polemic. It is designed not to please, but to challenge intellectuals and to provoke counter-critique and controversy.＜/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。 | 11,792円 |
 Elite Authenticity Remaking Distinction in Food Discourse【電子書籍】[ Gwynne Mapes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Food plays a central role in the production of culture and is likewise a powerful resource for the representation and organization of social order. Status is asserted or contested through both the materiality of food (its substance, its raw economics, and its manufacture or preparation) and through its discursivity (its marketing, staging, and the way it is depicted and discussed). This intersection of materiality and discursivity makes food an ideal site for examining the place of language in contemporary class formations, and for engaging cutting-edge debates in sociolinguistics on language materiality. In ＜em＞Elite Authenticity＜/em＞, Gwynne Mapes integrates theories of mediatization, materiality, and authenticity in order to explore the discursive production of elite status and class inequality in food discourse. Relying on a range of methodological approaches, Mapes examines restaurant reviews and articles published in the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ food section; a collection of Instagram posts from @nytfood; ethnographically-informed fieldwork in four renowned Brooklyn, NY, restaurants; and a recorded dinner conversation with six food-enthusiasts. Across these varied genres of data, she demonstrates how a discourse of "elite authenticity" represents a particular surfacing of rhetorical maneuvers in which distinction is orchestrated, avowed/disavowed, and circulated. ＜em＞Elite Authenticity＜/em＞ takes a multimodal critical discourse analysis approach, drawing on theories from linguistics, food and cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy. Its presentation and analysis of aural, visual, spatial, material, and embodied discourse will be of interest to scholars and students of communication studies, critical discourse studies, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and cultural geography.＜/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。 | 5,584円 |
 Education, Conservatism, and the Rise of a Pedagogical Elite in Colombian Panama 1878-1903【電子書籍】[ Rolando de la Guardia Wald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book historically reconstructs the conservative and moderate liberals’ views on governance, morality, and education within the context of ＜em＞La Regeneraci?n＜/em＞ (1878-1903) in Colombian Panama. de la Guardia Wald explores the way political theories and ideologies, especially conservatism and positivism, shaped late nineteenth-century Panamanian pedagogues’ conceptualizations of proper education for the sake of social regeneration. By demonstrating that Isthmian political and pedagogical debates went beyond the preoccupation for the realisation of classic liberalism and exploitation of Panama’s geographical views, this book challenges the perspective that Panamanian identity was a fabrication of the United States. Instead, this study reveals that the combination of positivist and conservative understandings of morality, reason, and good science defined governmental policies intended to recuperate and enhance civic values and nationalism, leading the way to progress and modernity.＜/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。 | 7,292円 |
 The Grand Scam How Barry Tannenbaum Conned South Africa’s Business Elite【電子書籍】[ Rob Rose ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From 2005 to 2009, the heir to one of South Africa’s blue-blood families, Barry Tannenbaum, methodically constructed the largest-ever con in South African history. The Grand Scam exposes details about the brazen greed of the scammers, a bank that facilitated the shady dealings rather than alerting the authorities, and the naivety of business people who should have known better. It goes far beyond the original news stories, containing original research and material that, for the first time, answers the central question of why. Barry Tannenbaum, the grandson of the founder of one of the country’s biggest pharmaceutical firms, Adcock Ingram, offered investors stratospheric returns of more than 200 per cent a year by investing in the components used to make AIDS drugs. It was nothing more than a lie, which suckered the country’s business elite, including the former CEO of Pick n Pay, the one-time head of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and the ex-boss of OK Bazaars.＜br /＞ After the bubble popped in June 2009, finance minister Pravin Gordhan announced that hundreds of investors in South Africa, Australia and Europe had ploughed more than R12.5 billion into Tannenbaum’s scheme, based on the empty promise of immense riches. Dwarfing the Brett Kebble rip-off, Fidentia and the Krion pyramid scheme, it proved to be the most embarrassing financial disaster in the country’s history, and it exposed holes in a banking and financial system billed as one of the safest in the world.＜br /＞ For Tannenbaum’s victims, the nightmare continued after the scheme collapsed, as liquidators, tax officials and criminal investigators demanded their pound of flesh. But Tannenbaum, now at large on Australia’s Gold Coast, continues to live as if nothing happened, working for an Australian insurance company.＜br /＞ The question that hasn’t been answered until now is, how did Tannenbaum swindle so many people with such ease? And, more crucially, why did he do it? Through extensive interviews with his family, friends and numerous ‘investors’, this book provides the startling answers to those questions. For the first time, the real motivation that fuelled South Africa’s Bernie Madoff is laid bare.＜/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。 | 1,483円 |
 The RAF Pathfinders Bomber Command’s Elite Squadron【電子書籍】[ Martyn Chorlton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The formation of the Pathfinder Force in August 1942 produced a steady but certain change in the fortunes of Bomber Command. During the early years of the war, aerial photographs showed that less than one third of the aircraft were successfully placing their bombs with accuracy. There was a basic lack of navigational skills, as well as what came to be known in the RAF as the will to 'Press On'. These shortcomings were addressed, and the special force of elite aircrew, the Pathfinder squadrons, whose purpose was to locate targets and mark them, proved indispensible to the success of the RAF’s overall bombing campaign. Led by the inspirational and imaginative Don Bennett, Pathfinders were equipped with the best available aircraft, which included the famous Lancaster bomber and later, increasingly, the Mosquito. To join a Pathfinder squadron (all crewmen were volunteers) was a rare privilege but with it went a huge leap in the likelihood of being shot down. Pathfinder aircraft led the way for their following bomber force in hazardous raid after raid. They were highly vulnerable to the wall of flak thrown up by German city defenders, as well as to attacks by night-fighters; and it took a full 25 minutes to run the gauntlet of the Berlin defences from end to end at full stretch. By the end of the war, some 56,000 crewmen of Bomber Command had lost their lives. Martyn Chorlton has written a gripping account of the RAF’s Pathfinder squadrons, recalling the often reckless heroism of the young aircrew and the challenges they faced in the smoke-filled skies over occupied Europe. His book also contains a moving foreword by Michael Wadsworth, chaplain to the Pathfinders Association.＜/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。 | 1,346円 |
 Transforming the Elite Black Students and the Desegregation of Private Schools【電子書籍】[ Michelle A. Purdy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞When traditionally white public schools in the South became sites of massive resistance in the wake of the Supreme Court's ＜em＞Brown v. Board of Education＜/em＞ decision, numerous white students exited the public system altogether, with parents choosing homeschooling or private segregationist academies. But some historically white elite private schools opted to desegregate. The black students that attended these schools courageously navigated institutional and interpersonal racism but ultimately emerged as upwardly mobile leaders. ＜em＞Transforming the Elite＜/em＞ tells this story. Focusing on the experiences of the first black students to desegregate Atlanta's well-known The Westminster Schools and national efforts to diversify private schools, Michelle A. Purdy combines social history with policy analysis in a dynamic narrative that expertly re-creates this overlooked history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through gripping oral histories and rich archival research, this book showcases educational changes for black southerners during the civil rights movement including the political tensions confronted, struggles faced, and school cultures transformed during private school desegregation. This history foreshadows contemporary complexities at the heart of the black community's mixed feelings about charter schools, school choice, and education reform.＜/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。 | 3,292円 |
