楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this commentary, Thomas Renz reads Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah as three carefully crafted writings of enduring relevance, each of which makes a vital contribution to the biblical canon. Discussing the historical settings, Renz takes up both long-standing issues, such as the relationship of Zephaniah to Josiah's reforms, and the socioeconomic conditions of the time suggested by recent archaeological research.

The thorough verse-by-verse commentary is followed by stimulating theological reflection, opening up avenues for teaching and preaching from these prophetic writings. No matter their previous familiarity with these and other Minor Prophets, scholars, pastors, and lay readers alike will find needed guidance in working through these difficult but important books of the Bible.</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。 8,100円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 'Roman History, Books I-III,' Livy embarks on a monumental narrative that chronicles the foundational events of Rome, from its mythical origins to its ascent as a burgeoning republic. Written in a rich and eloquent Latin prose, Livy's style combines historical rigor with a poignant, almost poetic sensibility, illustrating not only the facts of Rome's past but also the moral and ethical lessons inherent in them. Set against the backdrop of the late Roman Republic, a period rife with political turmoil, Livy's work serves as both a record and a reflection on the values of Roman society, emphasizing themes of virtue, duty, and the consequences of moral decay. Livy, full name Titus Livius, was born in 59 BCE in Patavium (modern-day Padua) and lived through momentous transitions in Roman history. His historical writing careers spanned the shift from the Republic to the Empire, providing him with a unique vantage point from which to contemplate the Roman character. Livy was influenced by earlier historians and his commitment to preserving the memory of Rome's grandeur allowed him to create a narrative that is as much philosophical as it is historical, seeking to instruct future generations about the nature of power and civic responsibility. Readers of 'Roman History, Books I-III' are invited to delve into an enriched understanding of Rome's early narrative, crafted by a masterful historian whose insights resonate even today. Livy'??s exploration of events like the founding of the city, the struggle for independence, and the moral fabric of its leaders makes this work essential for anyone invested in history, politics, or the very essence of human endeavor.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy (Second Edition Text) (Rediscovered Books) Second Edition Text【電子書籍】[ Joseph A. Schumpeter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy is perhaps the most important and influential book on the subject ever written. This volume is the result of an effort to weld into a readable form the bulk of almost forty years' thought, observation and research on the subject of socialism. The problem of democracy forced its way into the place it now occupies in this volume because it proved impossible to state my views on the relation between the socialist order of society and the democratic method of government without a rather extensive analysis of the latter. Moreover, this material also reflected the analytic efforts of an individual who, while always honestly trying to probe below the surface, never made the problems of socialism the principal subject of his professional research for any length of time and therefore has much more to say on some topics than on others. In order to avoid creating the impression that I aimed at writing a well-balanced treatise I have thought it best to group my material around five central themes. Links and bridges between them have been provided of course and something like systematic unity of presentation has, I hope, been achieved. But in essence they are-though not independent-almost self-contained pieces of analysis.</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。 644円

Books, Bricks and Bytes Libraries in the Twenty-first Century【電子書籍】[ Stephen R. Graubard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Libraries are experiencing a technological revolution that goes well beyond anything that has existed since the invention of printing. Not surprisingly, the digital library, with all that it portends for the future of the book and the periodical, but also with all that it implies for the kinds of information that will be collected and disseminated, will necessarily preoccupy those responsible for libraries in the new century. Everything from copyright, access, and cost to the nature of the reading public itself is now up for re-examination.'Books, Bricks, and Bytes' brings together an extraordinary array of authors at the cutting edge of these concerns, not only within the United States, but experts drawn from Germany, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and India. James H. Billington discusses the Library of Congress in the information age; Ann S. Okerson outlines two models for securing scholarly information; Donald S. Lamm discusses the shaky partnership of publishers and librarians hi this new environment; Klaus-Dieter Lehmann provides a framework for maintaining the intellectual heritage of the past in a digitized future. Each contributor shows hi concrete detail and vivid illustration that the library as a world of holdings is increasingly valued as an incomparable place to access information. In his preface to the book, Stephen Graubard reminds us that whether or not one believes in the reality of the information revolution that is said to be overtaking the world, it is obvious that the libraries being built today do not resemble those marble sanctuaries constructed hi the Victorian age or in the early twentieth entury. This is a work that shows how libraries have been transformed from "refuges" from the external world, to places that reflect the social and intellectual values of specific societies. The idea that the library is a public trust and public resource is at the center of this unusually fine collection at the cutting edge of professional and public life.</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。 9,995円
