 Reagan, Congress, and Human Rights Contesting Morality in US Foreign Policy【電子書籍】[ Rasmus Sinding S?ndergaard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book traces the role of human rights concerns in US foreign policy during the 1980s, focusing on the struggle among the Reagan administration and members of Congress. It demonstrates how congressional pressure led the administration to reconsider its approach to human rights and craft a conservative human rights policy centered on democracy promotion and anti-communism - a decision which would have profound implications for American attention to human rights. Based on extensive archival research and interviews, Rasmus Sinding S?ndergaard combines a comprehensive overview of human rights in American foreign relations with in-depth case studies of how human rights shaped US foreign policy toward Soviet Jewry, South African apartheid, and Nicaragua. Tracing the motivations behind human rights activism, this book demonstrates how liberals, moderates, and conservatives selectively invoked human rights to further their agendas, ultimately contributing to the establishment of human rights as a core moral language in US foreign policy.＜/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。 | 6,252円 |
 US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy The Evolution of an Incidental Superpower【電子書籍】[ Derek S. Reveron ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Safe from the battlefields of Europe and Asia, the United States led the post?World War II global economic recovery through international assistance and foreign direct investment. With an ardent decolonization agenda and a postwar legitimacy, the United States attempted to construct a world characterized by cooperation. When American optimism clashed with Soviet expansionism, the United States started on a path to global hegemony.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy, the authors analyze the strategic underpinnings of hegemony, assess the national security establishment that sustains dominance, consider the impact on civil-military relations, and explore the intertwining relationships between foreign policy, defense strategy, and commercial activities. Eschewing conventional analyses, the volume not only identifies drivers and continuities in foreign policy, but it also examines how the legacy of the last sixty-five years will influence future national security policy that will be characterized by US leadership in an increasingly competitive world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From civil-military relations to finance, and from competing visions of how America should make war to its philosophy of securing peace through reconstruction and reconciliation, US Foreign Policy and Defense Strategy offers unique insights into the links between military and commercial power as it charts the rise of a historical rarity: the incidental superpower. This accessibly written book is suitable for students and general readers as well as scholars.＜/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。 | 4,560円 |

Max M?ller embarks on a profound exploration of Indian philosophy, culture, and spirituality, arguing for the richness and depth of India's contributions to global thought. The book is characterized by M?ller's elegant prose and scholarly rigor, as he juxtaposes Western paradigms with Eastern wisdom, illustrating how Indian thought can illuminate issues of morality, ethics, and the nature of existence.

 Eagles Overhead The History of US Air Force Forward Air Controllers, from the Meuse-Argonne to Mosul【電子書籍】[ Matt Dietz ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞US Air Force Forward Air Controllers (FACs) bridge the gap between air and land power. They operate in the grey area of the battlefield, serving as an aircrew who flies above the battlefield, spots the enemy, and relays targeting information to control close air support attacks by other faster aircraft. When done well, Air Force FACs are the fulcrum for successful employment of air power in support of ground forces. Unfortunately, FACs in recent times have been shunned by both ground and air forces, their mission complicated by inherent difficulty and danger, as well as by the vicissitudes of defense budgets, technology, leadership, bureaucracy, and doctrine. Eagles Overhead is the first complete historical survey of the US Air Force FAC program from its origins in World War I to the modern battlefield. Matt Dietz examines their role, status, and performance in every US Air Force air campaign from the Marne in 1918, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and finally Mosul in 2017. With the remaking of the post-Vietnam US military, and the impact of those changes on FAC, the Air Force began a steady neglect of the FAC mission from Operation Desert Storm, through the force reductions after the Soviet Union’s collapse, and into the post 9-11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eagles Overhead asks why FACs have not been heavily used on US battlefields since 2001, despite their warfighting importance. Dietz examines the Air Force FAC’s theoretical, doctrinal, institutional, and historical frameworks to assess if the nature of air warfare has changed so significantly that the concept and utility of the FAC has been left behind. From these examinations, Eagles Overhead draws conclusions about the potential future of Air Force FACs.＜/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。 | 4,168円 |
 Trading with the Enemy The Making of US Export Control Policy toward the People's Republic of China【電子書籍】[ Hugo Meijer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, ＜em＞Trading with the Enemy＜/em＞ examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979. ＜em＞Trading with the Enemy＜/em＞ is the first monograph on this dimension of the US-China relationship in the post-Cold War. Based on 199 interviews, declassified documents, and diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks, two major findings emerge from this book. First, the US is no longer able to apply a strategy of military/technology containment of China in the same way it did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This is because of the erosion of its capacity to restrict the transfer of military-related technology to the PRC. Secondly, a growing number of actors in Washington have reassessed the nexus between national security and economic interests at stake in the US-China relationship - by moving beyond the Cold War trade-off between the two - in order to maintain American military preeminence vis-?-vis its strategic rivals. By focusing on how states manage the heterogeneous and potentially competing security and economic interests at stake in a bilateral relationship, this book seeks to shed light on the evolving character of interstate rivalry in a globalized economy, where rivals in the military realm are also economically interdependent.＜/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。 | 6,365円 |
 Diplomacy Meets Migration US Relations with Cuba during the Cold War【電子書籍】[ Hideaki Kami ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Diplomacy Meets Migration examines diplomacy, migration, and the history of US relations with Cuba during the Cold War. Hideaki Kami draws on declassified US and Cuban diplomatic sources, as well as Miami-Cuban lobby records, to challenge traditional interpretations that mainly focus on the two national capitals, Washington and Havana. By incorporating Miami into the story of foreign affairs, Kami assesses the intersection between migration and diplomacy, and considers how migration emerged as a critical issue that shaped the dynamism of US relations with Cuba. Kami demonstrates that the US government reformulated its Cuban policy in response to Fidel Castro's institutionalization of power, while simultaneously trying to build a new relationship with the Miami Cuban community, a new, politically mobilized constituency within US society. He shows how both migration control and migrant politics became important components of US foreign policy, which in turn influenced Cuban policy toward the United States.＜/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。 | 6,513円 |
 The Avoidable War The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China【電子書籍】[ Kevin Rudd ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A war between China and the US would be catastrophic, deadly, and destructive. Unfortunately, it is no longer unthinkable.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The relationship between the US and China, the world’s two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic faultーof cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer, and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought. ＜em＞The Avoidable War＜/em＞ demystifies the actions of both sides, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls “managed strategic competition.” Should they fail, down that path lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both countries, and the 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。 | 2,866円 |
 Scarabs The History, Manufacture and Symbolism of the Scarab?us in Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, Sardinia, Etruria, etc【電子書籍】[ Isaac Myer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Scarabs," Isaac Myer deftly intertwines myth and reality, exploring the ancient symbolism of the scarab beetle within the context of human existence and identity. The narrative unfolds through a blend of lyrical prose and sharp insights, inviting readers to reflect on the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. Myer employs a minimalist style, echoing the precision and elegance of ancient texts, while also challenging contemporary perspectives on mortality and transformation. This literary tapestry invites not only introspection but also a dialogue on the metaphysical significance of cultural symbols throughout history. Isaac Myer, with a background in archaeology and cultural studies, draws deeply from his extensive travels and academic pursuits in Egyptology. His passion for ancient civilizations and their relevance to modern life shapes the thematic core of "Scarabs," as he seeks to bridge the gap between the past and the present. His scholarly work, coupled with personal exploration, highlights the enduring impact of ancient symbols on contemporary consciousness. I wholeheartedly recommend "Scarabs" to readers who seek a profound, thought-provoking journey through symbolism and the intricacies of human nature.

 Hearing Gesture How Our Hands Help Us Think【電子書籍】[ Susan Goldin-Meadow ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Many nonverbal behaviorsーsmiling, blushing, shruggingーreveal our emotions. One nonverbal behavior, gesturing, exposes our thoughts. This book explores how we move our hands when we talk, and what it means when we do so.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Susan Goldin-Meadow begins with an intriguing discovery: when explaining their answer to a task, children sometimes communicate different ideas with their hand gestures than with their spoken words. Moreover, children whose gestures do not match their speech are particularly likely to benefit from instruction in that task. Not only do gestures provide insight into the unspoken thoughts of children (one of Goldin-Meadow’s central claims), but gestures reveal a child’s readiness to learn, and even suggest which teaching strategies might be most beneficial.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In addition, Goldin-Meadow characterizes gesture when it fulfills the entire function of language (as in the case of Sign Languages of the Deaf), when it is reshaped to suit different cultures (American and Chinese), and even when it occurs in children who are blind from birth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Focusing on what we can discover about speakersーadults and children alikeーby watching their hands, this book discloses the active role that gesture plays in conversation and, more fundamentally, in thinking. In general, we are unaware of gesture, which occurs as an undercurrent alongside an acknowledged verbal exchange. In this book, Susan Goldin-Meadow makes clear why we must not ignore the background conversation.＜/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。 | 4,168円 |

 Raising Global Families Parenting, Immigration, and Class in Taiwan and the US【電子書籍】[ Pei-Chia Lan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Public discourse on Asian parenting tends to fixate on ethnic culture as a static value set, disguising the fluidity and diversity of Chinese parenting. Such stereotypes also fail to account for the challenges of raising children in a rapidly modernizing world, full of globalizing values. In ＜em＞Raising Global Families＜/em＞, Pei-Chia Lan examines how ethnic Chinese parents in Taiwan and the United States negotiate cultural differences and class inequality to raise children in the contexts of globalization and immigration. She draws on a uniquely comparative, multisited research model with four groups of parents: middle-class and working-class parents in Taiwan, and middle-class and working-class Chinese immigrants in the Boston area. Despite sharing a similar ethnic cultural background, these parents develop class-specific, context-sensitive strategies for arranging their children's education, care, and discipline, and for coping with uncertainties provoked by their changing surroundings. Lan's cross-Pacific comparison demonstrates that class inequality permeates the fabric of family life, even as it takes shape in different ways across national contexts.＜/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。 | 3,386円 |
 Afghan Air Wars Soviet, US and NATO operations, 1979?2021【電子書籍】[ Michael Napier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Michael Napier details＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞the critical role of air power in the skies over Afghanistan, from the＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞ten-year occupation by the USSR in the 1980s through to the＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞US and NATO campaign from 2001 to 2021.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞US and British forces, strongly supported by air power, invaded Afghanistan in late 2001 in response to the Al Qaida attacks on 9/11. What began as a small-scale operation of 2,500 troops with the limited objective of destroying Al Qaida became ever larger, growing to over 100,000 troops ten years later. This experience matched that of the Soviets after their invasion in late 1979, when they saw a massive increase in resistance by Mujahidin.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Afghan Air Wars＜/em＞ details how Soviet aircraft including the MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-17 and Su-25, as well as Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters supported Soviet offensives in the Panjshir Valley and other regions. Despite these high-octane operations and overwhelming air superiority, Soviet forces eventually withdrew.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some 20 years later, US and NATO air forces were deployed in similar roles. F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, A-10, Mirage, Harrier and Tornado aircraft all saw action in the skies over Afghanistan as did the CH-47 Chinook and AH-64 Apache helicopters. Mike Napier fully details their series of operations in a hostile environment as well as the advent of high-resolution targeting pods and Precision Guided Munitions (PGM) which enabled aircraft to stand off from threat areas and also to deploy their weapons with deadly accuracy. The conflict also saw the groundbreaking introduction of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV) into routine air operations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Afghan Air Wars＜/em＞ is richly illustrated with over 240 images ? both official photos and privately taken, in-theatre images which have not been previously published.

 Eugenics in American Political Life How the Politics of Superiority Still Shape Us Today【電子書籍】[ Shannon Bow O'Brien ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The book explores the development of the American eugenics movement and how it still plays a role in American life. Building on a brief overview of the concept of eugenics, Shannon Bow O’Brien charts the foundations of the ideas, significant influences, and influencers of the movement in the last 19th and early 20th centuries. She discusses how these ideals and social life shaped American culture and encouraged attitudes toward racial and ethnic biases, including immigration policies in that period.＜/p＞ ＜p＞O’Brien examines how the founding of the United States of America was built on unwanted individuals from the United Kingdom; transported felons and indentured servants were many of the original colonists. As the population forged its new nation, many of these individuals were the focus of restrictive immigration policies that sought to amend the identity of the American citizen and sought to define acceptable roles for Black persons within American society. Faithful slave monuments provided physical models to help engrain these roles within American life.

As he explores questions progressive evangelical readers of Scripture commonly face yet fear voicing, Enns reveals that they are the very questions that God wants us to considerーthe essence of our spiritual study.＜/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。 | 1,760円 |

And understanding how regret works can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the “no regrets” philosophy of life.

These deep regrets offer compelling insights into how we live and how we can find a better path forward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As he did in his bestsellers ＜em＞Drive, When,＜/em＞ and ＜em＞A Whole New Mind,＜/em＞ Pink lays out a dynamic new way of thinking about regret and frames his ideas in ways that are clear, accessible, and pragmatic. Packed with true stories of people's regrets as well as practical takeaways for reimagining regret as a positive force, ＜em＞The Power of Regret＜/em＞ shows how we can live richer, more engaged lives.＜/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。 | 2,130円 |
 The Invisible Gorilla And Other Ways Our Intuition Deceives Us【電子書籍】[ Christopher Chabris ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you’d notice it. Wouldn’t you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you’d remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed the gorilla.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As this astonishing and utterly unique book demonstrates, exactly the same kind of mental illusion that causes people to miss the gorilla can also explain why many other things, including why:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞honest eyewitness testimony can convict innocent defendants＜/li＞ ＜li＞expert money managers suddenly lose billions＜/li＞ ＜li＞Homer Simpson has much to teach you about clear thinking＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Insightful, witty, and fascinating, The Invisible Gorilla closely examines the false impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize their negative impact.＜/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。 | 1,252円 |
 Let Us Go On The Secret of Christian Progress in the Epistle to the Hebrews【電子書籍】[ W. H. Griffith Thomas ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book contains the amplification of Lectures and Bible Readings which I have had the privilege of giving, first at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, 1905?10, then at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 1911, and subsequently at other Bible Institutes and at several Bible Conferences in America.＜br /＞ I have no intention or desire to add to the many valuable commentaries available on this Epistle, but I have thought it might be profitable to concentrate on one of the main themes (if not the main theme) of Hebrews, the necessity and conditions of spiritual progress. As I try to show, even though its primary message was to the Christian Jews to whom it was originally addressed, its teaching, exhortations, and warnings are directly applicable to believers today for the purpose of inciting them to possess and enjoy the fullest and highest Christian life.＜br /＞ With the view of obtaining all possible light on the development of this special topic, I have collected and utilized everything I could find on Hebrews, and the Bibliography will show the character and extent of my indebtedness.＜br /＞ A brief outline of the book was given as Bible Readings at the Keswick Convention, 1922, and since then the chapters have appeared, substantially as they are now, in the pages of The Christian, to the Editor of which I am indebted for permission to reproduce them in this form. They are now sent out, revised, with the prayer that both writer and readers may “go on” unto that spiritual ripeness of experience which alone realizes the divine purpose in Christ and fulfils the divine work of grace.＜/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。 | 426円 |
 The New Cold War How the Contest Between the US and China Will Shape Our Century【電子書籍】[ Robin Niblett ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞'An illuminating book for the interested citizen as well as for those making policy' HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞'An important, crystal-clear account of contemporary global geopolitics... Essential reading' PETER FRANKOPAN＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞'An excellent short guide: concise, informed, and full of insight' SIR LAWRENCE FREEDMAN＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We have entered a new Cold War. The contest between America and China is global and unbridgeable, and it encompasses all major instruments of statecraft - economic, political and military. It has its tinder box: Taiwan. And both protagonists are working hard to draw allies to their side from across the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We stand at its beginning. But this Cold War is nothing like the conflict between the Soviet Union and the West which defined the second half of the twentieth century. We need new ideas to navigate its risks and avoid a globally devastating hot war. In this urgent and necessary book, Robin Niblett argues that only by looking back can we learn the lessons to guide us through this new reality: he goes through the ten ways in which the New Cold War is different and offers five rules for navigating its onset.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How we manage this contest will determine not only whether there is still space for international cooperation to deal with our many global challenges, from the climate emergency to the technological revolution, but also who will lead the twenty-first century and, quite simply, the course of all our futures.＜/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。 | 1,120円 |
 US Navy Gun Destroyers 1945?88 Fletcher class to Forrest Sherman class【電子書籍】[ Mark Stille ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An illustrated history of the long Cold War careers of the US Navy's last gun destroyers, from the modernized World War II-era Fletcher-class to the Forrest Sherman-class.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The finest American destroyers of World War II had surprisingly long careers into the Cold War and the missile age. The 175-strong Fletcher-class was the largest class of US Navy destroyers ever built, and most received some modernization after World War II. A handful were converted into ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) escorts and one was even converted into the US Navy's first guided missile destroyer. Many Sumner-class destroyers were also kept in service, with the last decommissioned in 1973.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Gearing class was the classic US Navy wartime destroyer to have a second Cold War career, some being modified into picket ships and others into ASW escorts. Ninety-five were extensively modernized under the Fleet Modernization and Rehabilitation (FRAM) program which allowed them to serve until 1980. The majority of these ships then saw service with foreign navies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However the story of Cold War gun destroyers is not just one of World War II relics. Commissioned in the 1950s, the 18 ships of the Forrest Sherman class were the US Navy's last all-gun destroyers, and were considered to be the pinnacle of US Navy gun-destroyer design. Later in their careers, most were modernized for ASW and antiair warfare. The virtually unknown Norfolk class was originally built as a destroyer leader and maximized for ASW but only two were modernized and the other three retired early. Many of these ships, such as USS ＜em＞Edson＜/em＞, ＜em＞Cassin Young＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Turner Joy,＜/em＞ still survive as museum ships today*.*＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using battlescene artwork, detailed illustrations and photos, this book explores the careers, modernizations, and roles of all these unsung Cold War stalwarts, the last gun destroyers of the US Navy.＜/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。 | 2,214円 |
