 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 |

 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 |

 The Storytelling Animal How Stories Make Us Human【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Gottschall ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞"Insightful...draws from disparate corners of history and science to celebrate our compulsion to storify everything around us."ー ＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It's easy to say that humans are "wired" for story, but ＜em＞why＜/em＞?＜br /＞ In this delightful, original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life's complex social problemsーjust as flight simulators prepare pilots for difficult situations. Storytelling has evolved, like other behaviors, to ensure our survival. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Gottschall tells us what it means to be a storytelling animal. Did you know that the more absorbed you are in a story, the more it changes your behavior? That all children act out the same kinds of stories, whether they grow up in a slum or a suburb? That people who read more fiction are more empathetic?＜br /＞ Of course, our story instinct has a darker side. It makes us vulnerable to conspiracy theories, advertisements, and narratives about ourselves that are more "truthy" than true. National myths can also be terribly dangerous: Hitler's ambitions were partly fueled by a story. But as Gottschall shows, stories can also powerfully change the world for the better. We know we are master shapers of story. ＜em＞The Storytelling Animal＜/em＞ finally reveals how stories shape ＜em＞us＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Lively."ー ＜em＞San Francisco Chronicle＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Absorbing."ー ＜em＞Minneapolis Star Tribune＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"One of my favorite evolutionary psych writersーalways insightful and witty."ーSteven Pinker＜/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 |
 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 |

All that mystery, all that poetry, all those complex behaviors surrounding human bonding leading to the most life-changing decisions we’ll ever make, are unconsciously driven by a few molecules in our brains.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞How does love begin? How can two strangers come to the conclusion that it would not only be pleasant to share their lives, but that they ＜em＞must＜/em＞ share them?

 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 |
 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 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.

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 |

But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to “protect” the Bible, Enns was conflicted. ＜em＞Is this what God really requires?

 Poisoning the Pacific The US Military's Secret Dumping of Plutonium, Chemical Weapons, and Agent Orange【電子書籍】[ Jon Mitchell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In this devastating expos?, investigative journalist Jon Mitchell reveals the shocking toxic contamination of the Pacific Ocean and millions of victims by the US military.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For decades, US military operations have been contaminating the Pacific region with toxic substances, including plutonium, dioxin, and VX nerve agent. Hundreds of thousands of service members, their families, and residents have been exposedーbut the United States has hidden the damage and refused to help victims.＜br /＞ After World War II, the United States granted immunity to Japanese military scientists in exchange for their data on biological weapons tests conducted in China; in the following years, nuclear detonations in the Pacific obliterated entire islands and exposed Americans, Marshallese, Chamorros, and Japanese fishing crews to radioactive fallout. At the same time, the United States experimented with biological weapons on Okinawa and stockpiled the island with nuclear and chemical munitions, causing numerous accidents. Meanwhile, the CIA orchestrated a campaign to introduce nuclear power to Japanーthe folly of which became horrifyingly clear in the 2011 meltdowns in Fukushima Prefecture.＜br /＞ Caught in a geopolitical grey zone, US territories have been among the worst affected by military contamination, including Guam, Saipan, and Johnston Island, the final disposal site of apocalyptic volumes of chemical weapons and Agent Orange.＜br /＞ Accompanying this damage, US authorities have waged a campaign of cover-ups, lies, and attacks on the media, which the author has experienced firsthand in the form of military surveillance and attempts by the State Department to impede his work. Now, for the first time, this explosive book reveals the horrific extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the Pentagon will go to conceal it.＜/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。 | 2,135円 |

But in this volume, archaeologist Penny Spikins argues that compassion lies at the heart of what makes us human.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She takes us on a journey from the earliest Stone Age societies two million years ago to the lives of Neanderthals in Ice Age Europe, using archaeological evidence to illustrate the central role that emotional connections had in human evolution. Simple acts of kindness left to us from millions of years ago provide evidence for how social emotions and morality evolved, and how our capacity to reach out beyond ourselves into the lives of others allowed us to work together for a common goodーand form the basis for human success.＜/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。 | 1,440円 |

 Would You Kill the Fat Man? The Trolley Problem and What Your Answer Tells Us about Right and Wrong【電子書籍】[ David Edmonds ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞From the bestselling coauthor of ＜em＞Wittgenstein's Poker＜/em＞, a fascinating tour through the history of moral philosophy＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A runaway train is racing toward five men who are tied to the track. Unless the train is stopped, it will inevitably kill all five men. You are standing on a footbridge looking down on the unfolding disaster. However, a fat man, a stranger, is standing next to you: if you push him off the bridge, he will topple onto the line and, although he will die, his chunky body will stop the train, saving five lives. Would you kill the fat man?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The question may seem bizarre. But it's one variation of a puzzle that has baffled moral philosophers for almost half a century and that more recently has come to preoccupy neuroscientists, psychologists, and other thinkers as well. In this book, David Edmonds, coauthor of the bestselling ＜em＞Wittgenstein's Poker＜/em＞, tells the riveting story of why and how philosophers have struggled with this ethical dilemma, sometimes called the trolley problem. In the process, he provides an entertaining and informative tour through the history of moral philosophy. Most people feel it's wrong to kill the fat man. But why?

 How Fascism Works The Politics of Us and Them【電子書籍】[ Jason Stanley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ BESTSELLER ? “No single book is as relevant to the present moment.”ーClaudia Rankine, author of ＜em＞Citizen＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“With unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, ＜em＞How Fascism Works＜/em＞ is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism.”ーJelani Cobb, ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞ staff writer＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a scholar of philosophy and propaganda and the child of refugees of WWII Europe, Jason Stanley has long understood that democratic societies, including the United States, can be vulnerable to fascism. In ＜em＞How Fascism Works＜/em＞, he identifies ten pillars of fascist politicsーan appeal to the mythic past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, favoring “the heartland,” and a dismantling of public goods and unionsーthat amount to an urgent diagnosis of the tactics right-wing politicians use to break down democracies and a critical lens on the current moment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stanley knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations, making clear the immense dangers of language and beliefs that separate people into an “us” and a “them.” By uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politicsーrhetoric and mythーcan become policy and reality all too quickly. Only by recognizing them, he argues, can we begin to resist their most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.＜/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。 | 912円 |

 Discipleship that Fits The Five Kinds of Relationships God Uses to Help Us Grow【電子書籍】[ Bobby Harrington ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1 discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while still others training through mission trips or service projects. Yet others focus all their efforts on attracting people to a large group gathering to hear biblical teaching and preaching. But does one size really fit everyone?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on careful biblical study and years of experience making disciples in the local church, Bobby Harrington and Alex Absalom have identified five key relationships where discipleship happens in our lives. In each relational context we need to understand ＜em＞how＜/em＞ discipleship occurs and we need to set appropriate expectations for each context.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Discipleship That Fits shows you the five key ways discipleship occurs. It looks at how Jesus made disciples and how disciples were formed in the early church. Each of the contexts is necessary at different times and in different ways as a person grows toward maturity in Christ:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞＜em＞＜strong＞Public Relationships＜/strong＞＜/em＞: The church gathering corporately for worship＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜em＞＜strong＞Social Relationships＜/strong＞＜/em＞: Networks of smaller relationships where we engage in mission and live out our faith in community＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜em＞＜strong＞Personal Relationships＜/strong＞＜/em＞: Small groups of six to sixteen people where we challenge and encourage one another on a regular basis＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜em＞＜strong＞Transparent Relationships＜/strong＞＜/em＞: Close relationships of three to four where we share intimate details of our lives for accountability＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Divine Relationship＜/strong＞＜/em＞: Our relationship with Jesus Christ where we grow through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Filled with examples and stories, Alex and Bobby show you how to develop discipleship practices in each relational context by sharing how Jesus did it, how the early church practiced it, and how churches are discipling people today.＜/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。 | 2,444円 |

 Without Conscience The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us【電子書籍】[ Robert D. Hare, PhD ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Most people are both repelled and intrigued by the images of cold-blooded, conscienceless murderers that increasingly populate our movies, television programs, and newspaper headlines.＜/strong＞ With their flagrant criminal violation of society's rules, serial killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy are among the most dramatic examples of the psychopath. Individuals with this personality disorder are fully aware of the consequences of their actions and know the difference between right and wrong, yet they are terrifyingly self-centered, remorseless, and unable to care about the feelings of others. Perhaps most frightening, they often seem completely normal to unsuspecting targets--and they do not always ply their trade by killing. Presenting a compelling portrait of these dangerous men and women based on 25 years of distinguished scientific research, Dr. Robert D. Hare vividly describes a world of con artists, hustlers, rapists, and other predators who charm, lie, and manipulate their way through life. Are psychopaths mad, or simply bad? How can they be recognized? And how can we protect ourselves? This book provides solid information and surprising insights for anyone seeking to understand this devastating condition.＜/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。 | 2,334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 |

 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 |
