Putin Takes Crimea 2014 Grey-zone warfare opens the Russia-Ukraine conflict【電子書籍】[ Mark Galeotti ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An authoritative analysis of how Putin's Russia conquered the Crimea in 2014 using 'grey zone' warfare techniques, blending operations by anonymous special forces with cyber, sabotage, and propaganda.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 was almost bloodless ? fought as much through propaganda, cyberattacks and subversion as by force of arms ? but it is crucial for our understanding of both modern warfare and recent Russian history. Ironically, this slick triumph eventually led to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the largest and costliest conventional war in Europe since 1945.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a fascinating account of the Crimea conquest from a supremely qualified expert on modern Russian forces. Illustrated throughout, it explores how Russia developed its new model of 'hybrid' or 'grey zone' warfare, and planned and deployed it against Crimea, from the choreographed appearance of 'spontaneous' protesters through to the deployment of unbadged Russian elite forces.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book Mark Galeotti explores the lessons that Russia, Ukraine, and the West took from it ? correctly and mistakenly ? and how this apparently textbook operation sowed the seeds that would erupt so catastrophically in 2022.＜/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。	2,547円
Doing Ethnography in the Wake of the Displacement of Transnational Sex Workers in Yokohama Sensuous Remembering【電子書籍】[ Ayaka Yoshimizu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Doing Ethnography in the Wake of the Displacement of Transnational Sex Workers in Yokohama＜/em＞ reflects on the politics, poetics, and ethics of remembering the lives of transnational migrant sex workers in postcolonial Japan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the port city of Yokohama, the book focuses on the “water trade” in the Koganecho neighbourhood where exploitative and stigmatised labour took place, involving sexual services performed by migrant women. In recent years the city has sought to rebrand Koganecho, evicting transnational migrant sex workers who had been integral to postindustrial development and erasing their past presence. The author explores Yokohama’s memoryscapes in the aftermath of displacement through embodied knowledge, engaging her senses and ethics as a colonizer-researcher as she navigates the elusive past through traces that remain in the present. She examines the city’s built environment, official historical narratives, films, and photographic works. With few brothels and workers remaining, Yoshimizu fills the gap with her own interactions, encounters, and imaginings. Yoshimizu also writes through the imagery of water in ways that are informed by the local usage and imaginationsーthe ocean, flowing rivers, swamps, humidity, alcohol, the fluidity of relationships, and transient lives. The water also offers a way to sense the “ghost”, or the displaced lives and the effects of displacement, that, like humid air, stick to those who occupy or inhabit the site of displacement today. This interdisciplinary work makes a valuable contribution to sensory studies, memory studies, migration studies, and Asian studies.＜/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。	8,953円

The Confessions of St. Augustine Autobiography of a Christian Saint and Early Church Father【電子書籍】[ Saint Augustine of Hippo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Confessions is an autobiographical work by Saint Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written in Latin between AD 397 and 400. The work outlines Saint Augustine's sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. The work provides an unbroken record of Saint Augustine's development of thought and is the most complete record of any single person from the 4th and 5th centuries. It is a significant theological work, featuring spiritual meditations and insights. In the work, Augustine writes about how he regrets having led a sinful and immoral life. He discusses his regrets for following the Manichaean religion and believing in astrology. He writes about his friend Nebridius's role in helping to persuade him that astrology was not only incorrect but evil, and Saint Ambrose's role in his conversion to Christianity. The first nine books are autobiographical and the last four are commentary and significantly more philosophical. He shows intense sorrow for his sexual sins and writes on the importance of sexual morality. The books were written as prayers to God, thus the title, based on the Psalms of David. The work is thought to be divisible into books which symbolize various aspects of the Trinity and trinitarian belief. Confessions is generally considered one of Augustine's most important texts. It is widely seen as the first Western Christian autobiography ever written, and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the Middle Ages.＜/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。	300円

The Archaeology of Egyptian Non-Royal Burial Customs in New Kingdom Egypt and Its Empire【電子書籍】[ Wolfram Grajetzki ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This Element provides a new evaluation of burial customs in New Kingdom Egypt, from about 1550 to 1077 BC, with an emphasis on burials of the wider population. It also covers the regions then under Egyptian control: the Southern Levant and the area of Nubia as far as the Fourth Cataract. The inclusion of foreign countries provides insights not only into the interaction between the centre of the empire and its conquered regions, but also concerning what is typically Egyptian and to what extent the conquered regions were culturally influenced. It can be shown that burials in Lower Nubia closely follow those in Egypt. In the southern Levant, by contrast, cemeteries of the period often yield numerous Egyptian objects, but burial customs in general do not follow those in Egypt.＜/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。	2,995円

Both have entered our collective memory as sites of unimaginable heartbreak and mass slaughter perpetrated by lone gunmen. Meanwhile, cities such as Chicago and Washington, D.C., are dealing with the painful, everyday reality of record rates of gun-related deaths. By any account, gun violence in the United States has reached epidemic proportions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A widely respected activist and policy analystーas well as a former gun enthusiast and an ex-member of the National Rifle AssociationーTom Diaz presents a chilling, up-to-date survey of the changed landscape of gun manufacturing and marketing. ＜em＞The Last Gun＜/em＞ explores how the gun industry and the nature of gun violence have changed, including the disturbing rise in military-grade gun models.

The authors behind this significant work remain varied, representing a collective of writers and social observers who often had intimate interactions with the outcasts they depict.
