The Querist Enriched edition. Containing Several Queries Proposed to the Consideration of the Public【電子書籍】[ George Berkeley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Querist," philosopher George Berkeley embarks on a profound exploration of the nature of human knowledge and the foundations of belief. Written in a series of provocative questions, the text is a blend of philosophical inquiry and practical concern, reflecting Berkeley's commitment to empiricism and his critique of abstract reasoning. Rich in rhetorical flair, the work stands as a precursor to the later developments of subjective idealism, where Berkeley's distinctive voice challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between perception and reality, emphasizing the importance of community and social utility in understanding the world around us. George Berkeley (1685-1753), an influential Irish philosopher and bishop, is renowned for his innovative ideas that advanced the conversation on idealism and empiricism. His experiences in the intellectual environments of Dublin and later in the Anglican church illuminated his views on perception and existence. "The Querist" arose during a time of political and social unrest in Ireland, reflecting Berkeley's deep concern for the welfare of his countrymen and his desire to infuse philosophical discourse with practical relevance, which encapsulates his role as both a thinker and a public figure. This book is highly recommended for those interested in the history of philosophy, especially in discussions around empirical thought and idealism. Berkeley's engaging approach not only challenges preconceived notions of reality but also invites readers to examine their own beliefs critically. "The Querist" serves as a vital text for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of modern thought and the indispensable connection between philosophy and everyday life.

Contraceptive Risk The FDA, Depo-Provera, and the Politics of Experimental Medicine【電子書籍】[ William Green ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The story of Depo-Provera joins the national struggle over the drug's FDA approval to the state legal issues raised by its contraceptive and criminal justice uses.</strong></p> <p>Depo-Provera is known as an injectable hormonal birth control method, but few are familiar with its dark and complicated history. Depo-Provera was tested on women since the mid-1960s without their informed consent until it was FDA-approved in 1992, but never FDA-approved as chemical castration for male sex offenders.</p> <p>Contraceptive Risk is William Green's landmark study of Depo-Provera. Based on a fascinating combination of archival materials and interviews, the book is framed as three interconnected stories told by Judith Weisz, who chaired the FDA's Public Board of Inquiry on Depo-Provera, a scientific court; by Anne MacMurdo who brought a products liability suit against Upjohn, the drug's manufacturer, for the deleterious side effects she suffered from the drug's use; and by Roger Gauntlett, an Upjohn heir who, when he was convicted of sexual assault, refused to take a dose of his family's own medicine as a probation condition. Together these three stories of Depo-Provera's convoluted fifty year odyssey call for a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical drug development.<br /> Contraceptive Risk is a thoroughly researched and engrossing approach to the scientific, political and institutional forces involved in health law and policy, as well as the multifaceted politics of measuring risk.</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。 3,665円

Personnel Turnover and the Legitimacy of the EU【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the effects of personnel turnover in European Union institutions. Individuals enter and exit EU institutions with remarkable frequency, and questions involving institutional personnel lie at the heart of populist and feminist critiques of the EU. Are these critiques accurate? How do personnel dynamics affect the EU’s legitimacy? Will changing patterns of turnover help to redeem the EU? <em>Personnel Turnover</em> addresses these issues by considering turnover’s effects on three aspects of legitimacy (input, throughput, and output). Authors use a common framework to explore various questions: Does turnover affect the ways that EU citizens see the EU or the likelihood that citizens will participate in EU elections? Does turnover affect the efficiency of the EU decision-making or the EU’s ability to promote its interests abroad? In tackling these contemporary subjects, the authors throw light on a classical questionーwhat difference does it make when political leaders are replaced?</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。 17,016円

The Political Ethics of Public Service【電子書籍】[ Vera Vogelsang-Coombs ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book provides a defense of democratic politics in American public service and offers the political ethics of public service as a realistic and optimistic alternative to the cynical American view toward politics and public service. The author’s alternative helps career public servants regain public trust by exercising constitutionally centered moral and political leadership that balances the regime values of liberty and equality in governing American society while contributing to the ethical progress of the nation. She identifies three distinct leadership styles of political ethics, enabling career public servants to reconcile their personal loyalties, morality, and consciences with the public and private morality of American society and their constitutional obligations to secure the democratic freedoms of Americans. Recognizing career public servants’ moral and institutional struggles, the book proposes a rigorous leadership development program to acclimate individuals to workplace psychological, moral, and political challenges. The view offered here is that career public servants must be a part of, rather than isolated from, American politics to be effective on the job.</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。 14,585円

Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S. Dunham【電子書籍】[ Terry L Thompson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Academic analysis has not always kept pace with the dramatic changes that have occurred in the USSR since Stalin’s time, for objective study has often been overshadowedーespecially in the 1980sーby publicity concerning the negative aspects of the “Evil Empire.” Recently, however, because of reforms initiated by Gorbachev, the dynamics of the Soviet system have come into sharper focus. This book provides a wide-ranging, detailed view of economic, social, ideological, and literary aspects of the Soviet system leading up to the Gorbachev era. The essays include both historical and contemporary perspectives on the sources of stability (and stagnation) in the post-Stalin years. Examining the intricate fabric of Soviet society, the contributors provide insights into the social and cultural motivations for Gorbachev’s “restructuring” policies. Their themes echo the work of Vera S. Dunham, who for more than four decades has focused on diverse aspects of Soviet society and culture, particularly on the noncoercive means of social control that have often been overlooked but that are a vital component of the Soviet system.</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。 9,948円

The Interlopers Early Stuart Projects and the Undisciplining of Knowledge【電子書籍】[ Vera Keller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A reframing of how scientific knowledge was produced in the early modern world.</strong></p> <p>Winner of the Phyllis Goodhart Gordan Book Prize by the Renaissance Society of America, and the Leo Gershoy Prize by the American Historical Association, Shortlisted for the Jon Ben Snow Prize by the North American Conference of British Studies</p> <p>Many accounts of the scientific revolution portray it as a time when scientists disciplined knowledge by first disciplining their own behavior. According to these views, scientists such as Francis Bacon produced certain knowledge by pacifying their emotions and concentrating on method. In <em>The Interlopers,</em> Vera Keller rejects this emphasis on discipline and instead argues that what distinguished early modernity was a navigation away from restraint and toward the violent blending of knowledge from across society and around the globe.</p> <p>Keller follows early seventeenth-century English "projectors" as they traversed the world, pursuing outrageous entrepreneurial schemes along the way. These interlopers were developing a different culture of knowledge, one that aimed to take advantage of the disorder created by the rise of science and technological advances. They sought to deploy the first submarine in the Indian Ocean, raise silkworms in Virginia, and establish the English slave trade. These projectors developed a culture of extreme risk-taking, uniting global capitalism with martial values of violent conquest. They saw the world as a riskscape of empty spaces, disposable people, and unlimited resources.</p> <p>By analyzing the disastersーas well as a few successesーof the interlopers she studies, Keller offers a new interpretation of the nature of early modern knowledge itself. While many influential accounts of the period characterize European modernity as a disciplining or civilizing process, <em>The Interlopers</em> argues that early modernity instead entailed a great undisciplining that entangled capitalism, colonialism, and science.</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。 8,085円

Women at War Subhas Chandra Bose and the Rani of Jhansi Regiment【電子書籍】[ Vera Hildebrand ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Among the more improbable events of the Asia-Pacific Theater in World War II was the creation in Singapore of a corps of female Indian combat soldiers, the Rani of Jhansi Regiment (RJR). They served under Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose in the Indian National Army. Because the creation of an Indian all-female regiment of combat soldiers was a radical military innovation in 1943, and because the role of women in today’s broader context of Indian culture has become a prevalent and pressing issue, the extensive testimony of the surviving veterans of this unit is timely and urgent. The history of these brave women soldiers is little known, their extraordinary service and the role played by Bose remains largely unexplored. In the years since the RJR surrender in 1945, the story of Subhas Chandra Bose and the Rani Regiment of female combatants as signature symbols of both the national fight for independence and of Indian women’s struggle for gender equality has taken on aspects of myth. Lengthy interviews with the veteran Ranis together with archival research comprise the evidence that separates the myth of the Bengali hero and his jungle warrior maidens from historical fact, and this resulting book presents an accurate narrative of the Ranis. The facts are nearly as impressive as the legend.</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。 4,576円

A magician full of powers travels through different epochs in time, arriving at a not-too-distant future with news that will affect the planet Earth as a whole. Then, the characters become aware of the impending reality.</p> <p>"For many days the temperature had become less and less pleasant. It was heavy, dense and saturated with a caustic aroma that made breathing difficult. Through the gray sky the sunlight no longer penetrated and something ominous hovered in that pale gloom What, then, was everyone's horror when in the morning the dawn did not come; as the clocks struck noon, but the darkness not only had not dissipated but became more pronounced? A black dome seemed to have descended on the Earth...</p> <p>Soon after, something even more unusual and terrible began. Gliding with incredible speed, it began to pass, as in a live movie, the entire history of the world, from the present day to the most distant and remote times.</p> <p>At that moment, a broad ray of light shone from space, spreading out, seeming to open the firmament, and in that resplendent background, surrounded by legions of clear spirits, appeared the figure of Christ in all his divine magnificence and eternal sacred glory...</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。 1,972円

From Freedom Fighters to Jihadists Human Resources of Non-State Armed Groups【電子書籍】[ Vera Mironova ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>At the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011, thousands of pro-democracy rebel groups spontaneously formed to fight the Assad regime. Years later, the revolution was unrecognizable as rebel opposition forces had merged into three major groups: Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al Sham, and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Why did these three groups rapidly increase in size and military strength while others simply disappeared? What is it about their organizational structure and their Islamist ideology that helped group manage their fighters so successfully? With these questions at the forefront, this book examines the internal organization of armed groups and, in particular, their human resources. Analyzing the growth of these groups through the prism of a labor market theory, this book shows that extreme Islamist groups were able to attract fighters away from more moderate groups because they had better internal organization, took better care of fighters both physically and monetarily, experienced less internal corruption, and effectively used their Islamist ideology to control recruits. With unparalleled access and extensive ethnographic research drawn from her interviews and her year embedded with Iraqi Special Operation forces, Mironova delves deep into the ideological and practical nexus of some of the most radical groups in the Middle East. This book brings together more than 600 survey-interviews with local civilians and fighters on the frontline in Syria and a dataset of human resource policies from 40 armed groups; it is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants insight into the on the ground functioning of rebel organizations.</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。 5,638円

THE FINDING OF THE THIRD EYE【電子書籍】[ Vera Stanley Alder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>THE FINDING OF THE THIRD EYE<br /> By Vera Stanley Alder</p> <p>Synopsis<br /> A discussion of the secrets of breathing, color, sound, diet, and exercise, and how these can be used to develop the third eye. Includes recommendations for the final steps to mastery of the self and the dangers on the path to wisdom.</p> <p>An excerpt from the introduction<br /> Are human beings potential gods, as they have been told, or are they merely the least of worms?</p> <p>The world today is a seething mass of contradictions. Life does not become simpler with each new achievement, and the average man, kept busy with the urgent process of existing, has little time for thought.</p> <p>Yet there are moments when, looking out upon a world which appears drab, cruel, confused, and very ugly in many ways, man wonders…….</p> <p>If there are great heights for him to attain why does he seem to know so little about them? What has man been doing all these centuries? Why do disease, difficulties and dangers appear to have increased the more civilization ‘progresses’?</p> <p>There comes a time in the lives of many people when they earnestly desire to find an answer to these questions. They would know why they are here, what it is all about, and if they can learn to master circumstances instead of continually being a prey to them. They begin to make an individual effort to find out for themselves if there is really any rhyme or reason, any justice in life, anything to hope for or to work for.</p> <p>When a man arrives at this stage in his life it marks a very important crisis in his development. It is the moment at which he changes from a puppet into an individual and joins the honoured company of the seekers.</p> <p>To his surprise he finds that the number of these seekers is increasing rapidly, and that, in fact, they are beginning to make their impact felt upon social consciousness.</p> <p>He soon sees the significance of this. True socialism becomes possible when people recognize themselves as individual units of power, capability and thought; then there will inevitably follow a correspondingly important and congenial position in life for each one of them. There is an unfailing demand for either the competent worker or for those able to wield constructive influence, and all can fill one of these needs. There is no other way to individual happiness.</p> <p>The general apathy and ignorance which has existed for so long has reduced living conditions to a chaos in which there has been undernourishment in the midst of plenty, barbaric wars and cruelties taking place under the wing of so-called religion, and a system of education which results neither in mental power, physical fitness, good looks nor happiness.</p> <p>Now, however, humanity is waking up in a wonderful manner to a recognition of its own failures. Everywhere there is widespread effort and intensive seeking going on in manifold directions. This effort is to be found not only among the leaders and teachers of the people but among the people themselves. The public interest in health, diet, physical culture, spiritualism and hundreds of other cults and movements shows the beginning of a powerful wave of progress which may sweep humanity upwards to the peak of a new Renaissance of a kind the world has never known before.</p> <p>File information:<br /> File size (Digital) (208KB)<br /> Books (1)<br /> Biography (Yes)<br /> Working table of contents (Yes)<br /> Page count (8.5 x 11) (186)<br /> Word count(57,986)<br /> Font size (12pt)<br /> Originally published (1973)<br /> Republished(2019)</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。 827円
