 Korea & Her Neighbours【電子書籍】[ Isabella Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞Korea and Her Neighbours＜/em＞, written in two volumes between 1894 and 1897, Isabella Bird documents one of the most critical and interesting periods of Korean history.

In the midst of political turmoil and international intrigue, the author offers an extraordinarily accurate description of almost every facet of the country covering such topics as the climate, geography, the living conditions of the people, the structure of government, indigenous religions, customs, and foreign trade treaties. Included is a chilling description of the assassination of Korea's queen, and an account of Isabella Bird's undaunted travels in Manchuria, China, and Russia, where she reported on the military tension at the Korean borders.＜/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。 | 1,326円 |

 The Language of Power in the Simile “Like a Caged Bird” A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Assyrian Royal Lion Hunt and Sennacherib’s Military Campaign Against Hezekiah of Judah【電子書籍】[ Woo Min Lee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book presents a sociolinguistic study of the Assyrian royal lion hunt and military inscriptions and reliefs, focusing on Sennacherib's campaign against Hezekiah of Jerusalem in 701 BCE. Through a comparative analysis of the lion hunt imagery and Assyrian military tactics, it examines the goals, outcomes, and conflicting ideologies surrounding the campaign as depicted in both Assyrian sources and biblical texts. While much scholarly attention has centered on the biblical narrative, relatively little has been said about the role of Assyrian lion hunt motifs and their relationship to military rhetoric--particularly in the use of the simile "shut up/enclosed like a caged bird" (k?ma i??ur quppi esirsu). This academic imbalance has led to a limited, and potentially biased, understanding of the campaign. By drawing on a broader spectrum of Assyrian cultural expressions--including royal hunting practices and military records--this book opens the door to a more comprehensive and nuanced discussion of Sennacherib's campaign against Judah.＜/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。 | 4,378円 |
 Puerto Rico and Ukraine from a Bird Two Wings- Self Political Determination Missing【電子書籍】[ Guillermo Gonz?lez Rom?n M.D. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book is written from my perspective as a psychiatrist in relation to my experiences of being an American born in Puerto Rico. This may sound cognitively dissonant but is not. There are fundamental differences between being an American and an American born in PR. The intentions for this book are to denounce the hoax of the century in USA- that the Puerto Ricans govern Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has no sovereignty of its own. Since 1898, PR has been governed by the US Congress and the President of the USA. With the Foraker Act of 1900, we were ordered to organize ourselves in a limited version of a republican type of government, with only one chamber and a governor appointed by the President of the USA. This civil government would replace the military government present since the invasion of our lands. With the Jones- Shafroth Act of 1917 we became American citizens, and the new government was going to have two chambers - Senate, and House of Representatives. The Act made it clear that the US has full control in matters of the economy, immigration, defense, and the type of government for us in PR. Government organization was designed by the USA and not by us. Even our famous Commonwealth Constitution was ordered from the US Congress and was modified at their will without consent of the Puerto Ricans. Until 1952, PR was on the list of colonies of the United Nations Decolonization Committee. The people of PR were allowed to elect a governor in 1948 for the first time since total control of the US. We were ordered to write a constitution subordinated to the US Constitution, as approved by Congress, and this act was presented to the United Nation as a proof of self government. It proved unnecessary supervision by the UN- they considered it a domestic manner and not an international matter; it seems that they forgot the Treaty of Paris. The US ambassador asked for PR to be stricken from the list of colonies and for the requirements to present reports for the decolonization and self government development. We have never had full self government and much less self determined government. This hoax has led many to believe that PR is a Latin American nation. We are a non incorporated territory that belongs to but is not part of the federation of states government. As a territory that belongs to the USA, they discriminated regarding which rights of their constitution extends to us. For the past five years, a board of seven members designated by the President and the House and the Senate of the USA has superseded our elected officials. And they have the discretion and the power to change whatever they feel necessary, including the constitution, so we can pay the debt with Wall Street. Seven Americans, not Puerto Ricans, have the full control of our monies. Where is the self government? Maybe it never existed and was just the hoax of the century for the US government.＜/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。 | 562円 |
 Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird The Art of Eastern Storytelling【電子書籍】[ Henry Lien ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens readers’ minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it canーand shouldーencompass diverse structures, themes, and values.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using examples ranging from ＜em＞Parasite＜/em＞ to ＜em＞The Thousand and One Nights＜/em＞ to the ＜em＞Mario＜/em＞ video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (＜em＞kishotenketsu＜/em＞), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. ＜em＞Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird＜/em＞ is essential reading for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.＜/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。 | 2,519円 |
 Gentlemen, We Will Stand and Fight【電子書籍】[ Antony Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞At Le Cateau on 26 August 1914, the commanders of the Second Corps of the British Expeditionary Force elected to fight the German First Army and, although outnumbered three to one, delivered such a smashing blow to the German invaders that the whole of the BEF was able to continue the Retreat to Compiegne without being seriously threatened. Although the British suffered 1,200 of their men and officers killed, and were forced to leave their dead and many of their wounded on the battlefield, as well as thirty-six of their field guns, they inflicted losses on von Kluck's army of nearly 9,000. Yet the architect of this feat of arms, Second Corps commander Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien, was sacked soon afterward, while First Corps commander Sir Douglas Haig, who had performed far less impressively, took command of the whole BEF. Antony Bird describes the battle, its aftermath and he examines the men, the weapons and the tactics that made this feat of arms possible.＜/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。 | 2,080円 |

Drawing on her long-term research with a community of South Asian foragers, Nurit Bird-David provides a scale-sensitive ethnography of these people as she encountered them in the late 1970s and reflects on the intellectual journey that led her to new understandings of their lifeways and horizons. She elaborates on indigenous modes of “being many” that have been eclipsed by scale-blind anthropology, which generally uses its large-scale conceptual language of persons, relations, and ethnic groups for even tiny communities. Through the idea of ＜em＞pluripresence＜/em＞, Bird-David reveals a mode of plural life that encompasses a diversity of humans and nonhumans through notions of kinship and shared life. She argues that this mode of belonging subverts the modern ontological touchstone of “imagined communities,” rooted not in sameness among dispersed strangers but in intimacy among relatives of infinite diversity.＜/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。 | 4,927円 |
 God's Gilley Loo Bird【電子書籍】[ Ray P. ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞After a series of shockingly narrow escapes from certain injury or death through more than a decade of chronic alcohol abuse, law student Ray P. found himself once again in a jail cell, hungover and unable to remember how he got there the night before. "You can never do this again," said a voice, clearly. It was God, and Ray listened. Slowly, but surely, Ray gave his life completely over to the Lord and, in doing so defeated the curse of alcoholism and drug addiction. In the lucid, engaging style of a seasoned jury trial attorney, Ray now shares his life story with you. Laced with realism and humor, Ray's tales will take you through Friday Night Lights and dance halls to a Tijuana boudoir, the fishing waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Texas hill country and multiple Texas courtrooms. They effectively demonstrate how Christ chose Ray, a self-described "complete derelict dumpster fire of a human being," to reveal God's glory through His transformation of him into a valued mentor to other alcoholics and addicts in Alcoholics Anonymous, a successful attorney, and a beloved brother in Christ to many. How can the Lord transform your life and help you overcome your addictions? Ray's hope and prayer is that in reading his story, you might find some of the answers you seek.＜/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。 | 993円 |

 The Reflective Years of Benjamin Bird Memoir of a Closeted Bisexual Male【電子書籍】[ M. D. Gage ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This story about the life of a closeted bisexual male is dedicated as an expression for tolerance to the untold number of closeted homosexuals and bisexuals like Benjamin Bird (and the author himself, M. D. Gage) who remain in the closet throughout their entire lives because when they need to come out and be fulfilled and true to themselves, they feel threatened and unsupported and lack the courage and bravado to confront the anticipated dreadful damaging prejudices alone.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This story also is meant to provide insight to closeted individuals (and to those who care for them) on how difficult it is to sustain a life of deception and survive its emptiness without resorting to even more unnatural behavior, such as turning to drugs and alcohol or settling into a dulling depression, risky promiscuity, or, like Benjamin Bird, feverishly overachieving in their careers and endeavors, trying to replace the loneliness with busyness to ignore the guilt of being deceptive, hypocritical, and self-condemnatory.＜/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。 | 1,408円 |
 Jesus among the gods Early Christology in the Greco-Roman World【電子書籍】[ Michael F. Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞After several centuries of controversy, the early church came to an uneasy consensus that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. In his divinity, orthodox Christianity claimed, he shared fully in the nature of the uncreated creator God. But was this doctrinal position crafted from whole cloth in the era of the great ecumenical councils? How did earlier Christ-followers understand Jesus in light of their convictions about the one supreme deity and in the context of a cultural milieu saturated with gods?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Jesus among the gods＜/em＞, Michael Bird gives renewed attention to divine ontology--what a god is--in relation to literary representations of Jesus. Most studies of the origins of early Christology focus on christological titles, various functions, divine identity, and types of worship. The application of ontological categories to Jesus is normally considered something that only began to happen in the second and third centuries as the early church engaged in platonizing interpretations of Jesus. Bird argues, to the contrary, that ontological language and categories were used to describe Jesus as an eternal, true, and unbegotten deity from the earliest decades of the nascent church.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through comparison with representative authors such as Philo and Plutarch, and a comprehensive analysis of Jesus and various intermediary figures from Greco-Roman religion and ancient Judaism, Bird demonstrates how early accounts of Jesus both overlapped with and diverged from existing forms of religious expression. However Jesus resembled the various divine agents of Greco-Roman religion and Second Temple Judaism, the chorus of early Christian witnesses held Jesus to be simultaneously an agent of and an analogue with the God of Israel. Among the gods, Jesus stood in clear relief, a conviction that may have been refined over time but that belongs to the emerging heart of Christian confession.＜/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。 | 8,456円 |
