The Age of Fable Unveiling the Ancient World of Mythological Tales and Legendary Creatures【電子書籍】[ Thomas Bulfinch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In *The Age of Fable*, Thomas Bulfinch presents a compelling synthesis of classical mythology and modern thought, elegantly weaving together tales from Greek, Roman, and Norse traditions. Bulfinch's writing style is both accessible and erudite, employing a narrative that transforms complex mythological themes into digestible and engaging stories. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century cultural landscape, where Enlightenment ideals and burgeoning Romanticism clash, this work serves as a bridge connecting ancient wisdom with contemporary philosophical discourse, affirming the timeless relevance of myth in human experience. Thomas Bulfinch, an American author and scholar, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a family of intellectuals and his education at Harvard. His passion for classical literature and history, coupled with a desire to make these stories accessible to a wider audience, propelled him to compile and adapt these myths into a cohesive volume. Through his meticulous research and keen insight, Bulfinch illuminated the connection between ancient myths and living culture, enriching the literary canon. *The Age of Fable* is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the intersection of mythology and literature, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of human storytelling. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply a lover of literature, Bulfinch'??s masterful retelling of these age-old tales offers a profound understanding of their enduring legacy.</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。

The Animal Estate The English and Other Creatures in Victorian England【電子書籍】[ Harriet Ritvo ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When we think about the Victorian age, we usually envision people together with animals: the Queen and her pugs, the sportsman with horses and hounds, the big game hunter with his wild kill, the gentleman farmer with a prize bull. Harriet Ritvo here gives us a vivid picture of how animals figured in English thinking during the nineteenth century and, by extension, how they served as metaphors for human psychological needs and sociopolitical aspirations.</p> <p>Victorian England was a period of burgeoning scientific cattle breeding and newly fashionable dog shows; an age of Empire and big game hunting; an era of reform and reformers that saw the birth of the Royal SPCA. Ritvo examines Victorian thinking about animals in the context of other lines of thought: evolution, class structure, popular science and natural history, imperial domination. The papers and publications of people and organizations concerned with agricultural breeding, veterinary medicine, the world of pets, vivisection and other humane causes, zoos, hunting at home and abroad, all reveal underlying assumptions and deeply held convictionsーfor example, about Britain’s imperial enterprise, social discipline, and the hierarchy of orders, in nature and in human society.</p> <p>Thus this book contributes a new new topic of inquiry to Victorian studies; its combination of rhetorical analysis with more conventional methods of historical research offers a novel perspective on Victorian culture. And because nineteenth-century attitudes and practices were often the ancestors of contemporary ones, this perspective can also inform modern debates about human?animal interactions.</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。

Dreaming in Turtle A Journey Through the Passion, Profit, and Peril of Our Most Coveted Prehistoric Creatures【電子書籍】[ Peter Laufer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A fascinating exploration into the world of turtles across the globe; Laufer charts the lore, love, and peril to a beloved species.</strong></p> <p><em>Dreaming in Turtle</em> is a compelling story of a stalwart animal prized from prehistory through to todayーan animal threatened by human greed, pragmatism, and rationalization. It stars turtles and shady and heroic human characters both, in settings ranging from luxury redoubts to degraded habitats, during a time when the confluence of easy global trade, limited supply, and inexhaustible demand has accelerated the stress on species. The growth of the middle class in high-population regions like China, where the turtle is particularly valued, feeds this perfect storm into which the turtle finds itself lashed. This is a tale not just of endangered turtles but also one of overall human failings, frailties, and vulnerabilitiesーall punctuated by optimistic hope for change fueled by dedicated turtle champions.</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。

The Book of Yokai Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore【電子書籍】[ Michael Dylan Foster ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A lively excursion into Japanese folklore and its ever-expanding influence on global popular culture through the concept of <em>yokai</em>.</strong></p> <p>Monsters, ghosts, fantastic beings, and supernatural phenomena of all sorts haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled <em>yokai,</em> these creatures come in infinite shapes and sizes, from <em>tengu</em> mountain goblins and <em>kappa</em> water spirits to shape-shifting foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Currently popular in anime, manga, film, and computer games, many yokai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories.</p> <p>Drawing on years of research in Japan, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the history and cultural context of yokai, tracing their roots, interpreting their meanings, and introducing people who have hunted them through the ages. In this delightful and accessible narrative, readers will explore the roles played by these mysterious beings within Japanese culture and will also learn of their abundance and variety through detailed entries, some with original illustrations, on more than fifty individual creatures. <em>The Book of Yokai</em> invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them. By exploring yokai as a concept, we can better understand broader processes of tradition, innovation, storytelling, and individual and communal creativity.</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。

<p>Angels and Beasts looks into the interplay between the angelic figures in the vision of the seven seals. John creates a relationship between the four living creatures and the four riders in Revelation 6:1-8 that must not be overlooked. This connection works between the two groups as a whole and at the one-to-one level. The blending of symbols and the communication between these symbolic figures reveal exegetical, theological, and spiritual lessons. Both the scenario and the script of John's vision talk about terms and ties in the realm of angelic beings. For John these relations in the world above are a code to unlock relations in the world below.</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。

Comments on Mariusz Tabaczek’s Essay (2019) "What do God and Creatures Really Do in an Evolutionary Change?"【電子書籍】[ Razie Mah ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Mariusz Tabaczek, OP, publishes an essay in 2019 in the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly. The full title is “What Do God and Creatures Really Do in an Evolutionary Change? Divine Concurrence and Transformation from the Thomistic Perspective”. He wonders whether it is right to ascribe all causation in evolution to creatures, acting through secondary and instrumental causes. His answer builds a complementarity (or concurrence) between primary and secondary causation.<br /> He chides evolutionary theists for not specifying the exact nature of the secondary and instrumental causes at work in evolution. Yet, from a category-based perspective, his essay confounds three complementary explanatory manifolds. One manifold goes with primary and secondary causation. Another works with the four causes. The third revolves around the contiguity between being (ens) and form.<br /> Indeed, the category-based nested form translates Tabaczek’s argument into a postmodern framework, while at the same time, engaging mystery, mediation and the dyadic nature of actuality. There is more to theistic evolution than meets the eye.</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。

Treated Like Animals Improving the Lives of the Creatures We Own, Eat and Use【電子書籍】[ Alick Simmons ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>You don’t have to be an animal rights activist to take an interest in how we treat other creatures. All of us, with few exceptions, use animals in some way: for food, research, recreation and companionship. In Britain we eat around a billion chickens every year, while 60% of all mammals on Earth, by biomass, are now livestock. In 2020, approximately 2.88 million scientific procedures involving living animals were carried out in Great Britain.</p> <p>Because all this happens in our name, as consumers and citizens we have a duty to understand, to care and to exert some influence over how animals are used. But because such use is ingrained in our daily lives and largely happens behind closed doors, we are barely aware of it. The animals deserve better. Understanding the inconsistencies in our attitudes, in the law and in what is deemed acceptable practice is an important first step.</p> <p>This timely and incisive book makes compelling reading for anyone who has an interest in animals, whether wild or domestic, free-living or captive, people intrigued about how their food is produced, and those keen to make informed and intelligent decisions.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animalsーand our vital relationships with them</strong></p> <p><em>How to Care about Animals</em> is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snailsーand that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, with the original texts on facing pages, these pieces are filled with surprisesーanticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals.</p> <p>Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe’s pigs from the <em>Odyssey</em> make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we read timeless Aesopian fables, including “The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg” and “The Fox and the Grapes”; and there is much, much more.</p> <p>A Noah’s Ark of a book, <em>How to Care about Animals</em> is guaranteed to charm and inspire anyone who loves animals.</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。

MONSTER DIARY On the Road in Search of Strange and Sinister Creatures【電子書籍】[ Nick Redfern ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>MONSTER DIARY is the latest saga in Nick Redfern’s ongoing series of worldwide road-trips in search of strange creatures and terrifying beasts.</p> <p>In this transatlantic trek, Redfern is hot on the trail of...a Mothman-like creature in Wisconsin; giant eels that lurk in the canals of Birmingham, England; a spectral mammoth and a ghostly big-cat in American woods; Bigfoot in New Mexico; a Chupacabras in the wilds of Oklahoma; vampire-like beasts roaming the valleys of Wales; and California’s very own shape-shifting Skinwalkers.</p> <p>MONSTER DIARY reveals that many of the unknown animals of our planet are not all they seem to be. They may appear to be flesh-and-blood creatures, but is that what they really are?</p> <p>Redfern sets out to prove that the true nature of the fearsome creatures that dwell in dark and shadowy woods, atop imposing mountainous peaks, and within the depths of murky lakes and rivers can only be understood with a knowledge of ancient rituals designed to conjure up foul life forms from some terrible realm, ominous sacrificial ceremonies undertaken in the dead of night, and disturbing occult rites.<br /> Monsters do exist. Monsters are among us. But they are not what you probably think there are.</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。
