 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 |

The Apple Macintosh personal computer makes its debut. Michael Jackson's ＜em＞Thriller＜/em＞ album dominates the pop charts. And Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics capture the NBA championship over Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

 Crafting Country Aboriginal Archaeology in the Eastern Chichester Ranges, Northwest Australia【電子書籍】[ Caroline Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Based on ten years of surveys and excavations in Nyiyaparli country in the eastern Chichester Ranges, north-west Australia, Crafting Country provides a unique synthesis of Holocene archaeology in the Pilbara region. The analysis of about 1000 sites, including surface artefact scatters and 19 excavated rock shelters, as well as thousands of isolated artefacts, takes a broad view of the landscape, examining the distribution of archaeological remains in time and space. Heritage compliance archaeology commonly focuses on individual sites, but this study reconsiders the evidence at different scales ー at the level of artefact, site, locality, and region to show how Aboriginal people interacted with the land and made their mark on it.Crafting Country shows that the Nyiyaparli ‘crafted’ their country, building structures and supplying key sites with grindstones, raw material and flaked stone cores. In so doing, they created a taskscape of interwoven activities linked by paths of movement.＜/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。 | 2,266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 |

 The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise【電子書籍】[ R. D. Laing ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ‘The Politics of Experience’ and the visionary ‘Bird of Paradise’, R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential.

 The Golden Chersonese and The Way Thither【電子書籍】[ Isabella Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Golden Chersonese is a travel book written by Isabella Bird, the greatest travel writer of the 19th century, and maybe of all time. It recounts her travels in 1883 through southern China and into the interior of the Malay Peninsula- which in the age of Ancient Greece and Rome was known as the Golden Chersonese. It was ground-breaking reportage at the time because many of the places she visited were totally cut off from the outside world. Her descriptions of all aspects of life in old Malaya have a huge value because she saw it herself before it changed, and her writing style is forever entertaining.＜/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。 | 986円 |
 Go, Go, Go, Said the Bird Human kind’s unbearable realities ? and what might be gained by accepting them【電子書籍】[ Richard Oerton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Taking its title from lines in T.S. Eliot’s ＜em＞Four Quartets ? “Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind cannot bear very much reality”＜/em＞ ? this book sets out to expose some of the realities which, at this stage of our evolution, human beings cannot bear to accept. Successive chapters examine rationality, conscience, religion, perception, sexuality, free will, moral responsibility and crime, pointing out the incomprehension which mars our approach to each topic. One of the book’s themes is that we are still, below the surface, a savage species, clinging to our misconceptions because they liberate and justify our cruelty to one another.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite its deadly serious and controversial approach, the book is enlivened by humour, personal stories, quotes from others and bits of poetry. It is not academic but readily accessible to the general reader. In the last chapter, the author sums up by saying that, although the human species now is what it is, some of us can imagine a better one: “＜em＞A species that isn’t irrational, ignorant, credulous, uncomprehending, self-defeating, ill at ease with its sexuality, mired in contradictory beliefs, impelled by a savagery let loose by misperception and misunderstanding＜/em＞”, and asks: “＜em＞Could this imaginary species ever become a real one?”.＜/em＞＜/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。 | 1,060円 |

Small fanfare and panoply for the far-famed and feared Red Baron; a hunter even during his childhood, he took to the skies above France and Flanders in 1915 following service as a cavalry officer. In the air he hunted his prey, almost exclusively British pilots, and by the time of his death in 1918 was credited with some 80 air combat victories. He was only 25 at the time of his death.＜br /＞ American author Floyd Gibbon's biography seeks to give a fuller and more realistic portrait of Manfred von Richthofen than is widely known; to his German countryman he seemed to be a superhuman hero of the skies; to the Allies who opposed him, he seemed a ruthless bogeyman. The truth is far more complex than this as the author explains in great detail, using von Richthofen's own autobiography and other contemporary sources in order to produce a portrait of the greatest World War One Ace.＜/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。 | 150円 |

 The Wizard, the Egg and Fitcher’s Bird Returning Spiritual Life to Nature in the Individuation of Women【電子書籍】[ Laurel Howe ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The animus remains a baffling, misunderstood force in women’s psychology, but the fairytale “Fitcher’s Bird” brings his ambivalent, wizardly power and his psychic aims as the spirit of individuation into view, reaching into rich alchemical symbolism to do so. The tale and its alchemical background are illuminated with dreams and psychic images from several women’s lives, whose stories help us understand the profound personal and archetypal value of engaging creatively with the animus.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Like the alchemical nature God, Mercurius, the animus is a life force, an archetype with two sides. His negative side is symbolized in “Fitcher’s Bird” by a wizard’s longtime ability to abduct maidens from their parental homes with barely a touch by dressing as a beggar and appealing to their charity. He displays a perverse dominance over the feminine that has built up in our traditional attitudes over the millennia and takes hold of women through their own participation in those attitudes. Taking them to his great house in the forest, the wizard promises young women riches for their obedience. But the maidens, like the wives of Bluebeard, predictably enter the one forbidden room and end up slaughteredーin “Fitcher’s Bird” they are hewn limb from limb.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Only one maiden is clever enough to pay attention to the gift the wizard’s positive side offersーa simple egg, symbolizing the process of individuation when an ego nurtures a relationship with the unconscious. Switching her focus to the egg, the heroine redeems her sisters and at the end of the tale makes an appearance as the wondrous Fitcher’s birdーan image for the archetypal feminine redeemed from dismemberment and disappearance.＜/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。 | 1,657円 |
 Jesus and the Mysterious Gospel of the Kingdom Can You See the Bird’S Nest in My Mustard Tree?【電子書籍】[ Roger H. Grummer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Christians are always encouraged to share the good news of Gods kingdom and spread Christs gospel message. And today, the gospel message tells us the good news of a promised Messiah who has comea personal savior who has already saved us from the eternal consequences of sin. Yet when Jesus himself shared this gospel message, he had not yet suffered and died on a cross, nor had he risen from the dead.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jesus and the Mysterious Gospel of the Kingdom offers a contextual approach to understanding what Jesus meant by the gospel of the kingdom and how it will help believers discover fresh insights into what Jesus actually proclaimed during his time on the earth. With a knowledgeable, pastoral presentation, author and pastor Dr. Roger H. Grummer explains how it is not always easy for us to grasp what Jesus meant when he spoke about the gospel of his kingdomin fact, Jesus himself had to explain it to his own disciples. Since we live in a different time and culture than the people of Jesuss day, modern-day Christians can benefit from some clarification about the fuller meaning of his stories and teachings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Knowing how your own understanding of the gospel of the kingdom compares to Jesuss proclamations will help you to more easily see how the savior wants you to enhance your faith. And with this enhanced understanding and faith, all Christians can enjoy stronger and more intimate relationships with Christ.＜/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 |
 Lost Teens Lost Faith A Guide to Engaging the Souls of the Next Generation【電子書籍】[ Derek Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜＞Commonly, previous generations of Christian culture emphasize issues that were pertinent to them, and they teach key doctrinal concepts while neglecting that which is essential to the healthy development of a Christian teen. In his book, Bird encourages a balanced approach while exploring faith issues most relevant to teens as they approach the years when theyre forced to grapple with enormous decisions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞More specifically, he uncovers an innovative way to think about Gods purpose for an individuals life (which has the potential to not only affect the way teens approach life, but may also challenge parents and leaders to re-prioritize their own schedules), and then goes on to uncover a biblically based model for understanding Gods will, which happens to be conveniently situated at the center of his purpose for humanity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At a time when its more common for a teen to walk away from the faith than it is for them to remain engaged, Lost Teens, Lost Faith provides relevant dialogue generated out of Birds experience and his deep desire to see the reversal of this tragic trend. What he uncovers and passes along provides parents with the necessary foundation to lead their children through some of lifes greatest challenges. Birds scripturally inspired ideas give parents and teens a framework to begin a conversation of eternal importance.＜/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。 | 660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 |
