 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。 | 2,594円 |
 The Extractive Zone Social Ecologies and Decolonial Perspectives【電子書籍】[ Macarena G?mez-Barris ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Extractive Zone＜/em＞ Macarena G?mez-Barris traces the political, aesthetic, and performative practices that emerge in opposition to the ruinous effects of extractive capital. The work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in spaces G?mez-Barris labels extractive zonesーmajority indigenous regions in South America noted for their biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural resource extractionーresist and refuse the terms of racial capital and the continued legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial theory with race, sexuality, and critical Indigenous studies, G?mez-Barris develops new vocabularies for alternative forms of social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visual artist Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from oil drilling. In so doing, G?mez-Barris reveals the continued presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living beyond the boundaries of destructive extractive capital.＜/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。 | 3,443円 |
 Danger Zone The Coming Conflict with China【電子書籍】[ Michael Beckley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A provocative and urgent analysis of the U.S.?China rivalry.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It has become conventional wisdom that America and China are running a “superpower marathon” that may last a century. Yet Hal Brands and Michael Beckley pose a counterintuitive question: What if the sharpest phase of that competition is more like a decade-long sprint?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the 21st century. But both history and China’s current trajectory suggest that this rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s.＜/p＞ ＜p＞China is at a perilous moment: strong enough to violently challenge the existing order, yet losing confidence that time is on its side. Numerous examples from antiquity to the present show that rising powers become most aggressive when their fortunes fade, their difficulties multiply, and they realize they must achieve their ambitions now or miss the chance to do so forever. China has already started down this path. Witness its aggression toward Taiwan, its record-breaking military buildup, and its efforts to dominate the critical technologies that will shape the world’s future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the long run, the Chinese challenge will most likely prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believeーbut during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real. America, Brands and Beckley argue, will still need a sustainable approach to winning a protracted global competition. But first, it needs a near-term strategy for navigating the danger zone ahead.＜/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。 | 2,515円 |
 Into the Grey Zone A Neuroscientist Explores the Border Between Life and Death【電子書籍】[ Adrian Owen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 2006 Dr Adrian Owen and his team made medical history. They discovered a new realm of consciousness, a twilight zone somewhere between life and death. They called this the Grey Zone.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The people who inhabit the Grey Zone are frequently labelled as being irretrievably lost, with no awareness and no sense of self. The shocking truth is that they are often still there, an intact mind trapped deep inside a broken body and brain, hearing everything around them, experiencing emotions, thoughts, pleasure and pain, just like the rest of us. Not quite living, and not quite gone, they have existed silently in these shadowlands. But now, through Dr Owen's pioneering techniques, we can talk to them - and they can talk back.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These shifting boundaries of consciousness have shaken the architecture of our sense of self. We have known for a long time that a body does not define a person - but what if a brain does not define a mind? What does it mean if a mind can exist unharmed within a deeply damaged brain?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through cutting edge research and case studies that are poignant, tragic and uplifting, Dr Owen maps this inner universe of the self, showing us what it means to be alive and human.＜/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 |
 Plantation Life Corporate Occupation in Indonesia's Oil Palm Zone【電子書籍】[ Tania Murray Li ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞Plantation Life＜/em＞ Tania Murray Li and Pujo Semedi examine the structure and governance of Indonesia's contemporary oil palm plantations in Indonesia, which supply 50 percent of the world's palm oil. They attend to the exploitative nature of plantation life, wherein villagers' well-being is sacrificed in the name of economic development. While plantations are often plagued by ruined ecologies, injury among workers, and a devastating loss of livelihoods for former landholders, small-scale independent farmers produce palm oil more efficiently and with far less damage to life and land. Li and Semedi theorize “corporate occupation” to underscore how massive forms of capitalist production and control over the palm oil industry replicate colonial-style relations that undermine citizenship. In so doing, they question the assumption that corporations are necessary for rural development, contending that the dominance of plantations stems from a political system that privileges corporations.＜/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。 | 3,575円 |
 Emergency Sex (And Other Desperate Measures) True Stories from a War Zone【電子書籍】[ Andrew Thomson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞W****hat it’s really like on the frontline of humanitarian aid＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's the early 1990s and three young people are looking to change their lives, and perhaps also the world. Attracted to the ambitious global peacekeeping work of the UN, Andrew, Ken and Heidi's paths cross in Cambodia, from where their fates are to become inextricably bound. Over the coming years, their stories interweave through countries such as Rwanda, Bosnia, Somalia and Haiti - war-torn, lawless places where the intervention of the UN is needed like nowhere else. Driven by idealism, the three struggle to do the best they can, caught up in an increasingly tangled web of bureaucracy and ineffectual leadership. As disillusionment sets in, they attempt to keep hold of their humanity through black humour, revelry and 'emergency sex'.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brutal and moving in equal measure, ＜em＞Emergency Sex (And Other Desperate Measures)＜/em＞ explores pressing global issues while never losing a sense of the personal. Deeply critical of the West's indifference to developing countries and the UN's repeated failure to intervene decisively, the book provoked massive controversy on its initial publication. Kofi Annan called for the book to be banned, and debate was sparked about the future direction of the UN. Brilliantly written and mordantly funny, it is a book that continues to make waves.＜/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。 | 2,427円 |
 Atlas of Muscle Innervation Zones Understanding Surface Electromyography and Its Applications【電子書籍】[ Marco Barbero ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Invasive electromyography is a well-established diagnostic tool that has been used for decades by neurologists. Recently, new and alternative devices have increasingly become available that permit diagnosis without the use of needles. This developing area of science and the new tools have not, however, been sufficiently investigated in academic training. Consequently a gap exists between what science is making possible and the competence acquired during graduate studies. This handy volume has the aim of filling this gap by providing the information required by medical practitioners in rehabilitation, sports, and occupational health as well as by rehabilitation therapists, ergonomists, and sport coaches. The techniques that are presented and explained will help in monitoring and recording changes, evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and training, evaluating work stations, and preventing and documenting the evolution of occupational disorders of the neuromuscular 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。 | 13,369円 |
 Nuclear Weapons Free Zones A Comparative Perspective【電子書籍】[ Exequiel Lacovsky ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book explores the conditions under which Nuclear Weapons Free Zones (NWFZs) can be established.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It analyzes four hypotheses that explain the factors contributing to the formation of NWFZs, building upon realist, constructivist and liberal theories from international relations. Through structured focused comparison, the book presents and compares the emergence of NWFZs in Latin America, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, which is a prospect for a NWFZ. The book argues that NWFZ projects depend on the following conditions: the security interest of regional states in avoiding nuclear threats, preexisting regional institutions and regional economic cooperation, leadership by a core of regional powers and shared interest in spreading non-proliferation norms. Democracy is not a necessary condition, but democratization can help overcome barriers presented by hesitant or opposed regional governments. As too many of the mentioned necessary conditions are lacking in the Middle East, a NWFZ project, thus, will be possible only after major political changes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of much interest to students of nuclear proliferation, arms control, security studies and International Relations.＜/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 |

 Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone【電子書籍】[ Camille Goodman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal States have sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve, and manage the living resources of the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ). However, 40 years after the adoption of the Convention, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about the nature and extent of these sovereign rights. ＜em＞Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone＜/em＞ examines the ways in which coastal States can exercise authority on the basis of their sovereign rights over living resources in the EEZ. Dr Camille Goodman explores the key concepts of 'fishing' and 'fishing related activities' to establish what vessels and which activities can be regulated by coastal States, canvasses the criteria and conditions that coastal States can apply as part of regulating foreign access to their resources, and considers the regulation of unlicensed foreign fishing vessels in transit through the EEZ. Goodman also examines how such regulations can be enforced within the EEZ and the circumstances under which enforcement can take place beyond the EEZ following hot pursuit. A review and analysis of the practice of 145 States identifies the contemporary extent of coastal State jurisdiction over living resources in the EEZ and offers a unique, fresh perspective on the underlying and enduring nature of that jurisdiction. Underpinned by a rigorous examination of the Convention, jurisprudence, and literature, as well as being supported by carefully documented State practice, ＜em＞Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone＜/em＞ proposes a more predictable framework within which to resolve jurisdictional challenges in the EEZ.＜/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。 | 10,852円 |

 The Corsair In The War Zone【電子書籍】[ Ralph Delahaye Paine ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Excerpt: "The task of the American Navy in the great conflict was performed exceedingly well, but so very quietly that even now the merits of the achievement are realized only by those who knew how near the German submarine campaign came to winning the war. There was no blacker period than the spring of 1917 when the losses of Allied merchant shipping were mounting toward a million tons a month, and the Admiralty was well aware that England stood face to face with starvation and defeat unless this piracy could soon be checked. It was when Admiral Sims cabled to his own Government, from London, "Briefly stated, I consider that at the present moment we are losing the war"; when Admiral Jellicoe privately admitted, "It is impossible for us to go on if losses like this continue"; and when Lord Balfour could see no escape from the same tragic conclusion."＜/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。 | 357円 |

He joined the faculty of Oak Hill in 1998 and completed a PhD in the field of trinitarian theology. He wrote few books: it was said that his students were his writing. This volume collects articles and lectures that demonstrate the depth and breadth of his intellect and originality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For Mike Ovey, in the same way that the earth is a 'Goldilocks planet', with conditions 'just right' to sustain life, so for theology we need a 'Goldilocks zone' which is 'just right', encompassing both 'local' and 'global' theologies. This is unpacked in the first item of this collection, which consists of fifteen 'Off the Record' articles for the online journal Themelios, seven Cambridge Papers, two essays on the gospel and the atonement, and three lectures given at the Global Anglican Futures Conference (GAFCON). There are introductory pieces by Mark Thompson and Chris Green and an afterword by Dan Strange. Peter Jensen's sermon at the thanksgiving service for Mike's life and ministry is also included.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This collection shows why Mike Ovey's contribution to evangelical Christianity was so widely appreciated in the UK and around 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。 | 2,254円 |

 God Zone Singularity【電子書籍】[ Ninos Elia ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞God Zone Singularity (GZS)＜/strong＞ is a metaphysical framework, poetic inquiry, and philosophical architecture of existence. It invites readers into a multidimensional lens where paradox is not a flaw in logic, but a feature of cosmic design. Through a fusion of structured thought, poetic resonance, and metaphysical precision, GZS constructs a visionary model of realityーone that transcends conventional boundaries between science, spirituality, and philosophical inquiry.＜br /＞ At the heart of GZS lies a triadic structure: the Unstructured Zone, the Elastic Shell, and the Structured Zone. These are not merely symbolic metaphors, but ontological statesーeach representing a distinct relationship between chaos, coherence, and consciousness. The Unstructured Zone is the realm of pure potential, undefined and infinite. The Elastic Shell acts as a metaphysical membrane, stretching between paradox and order, absorbing tension and transmitting coherence. The Structured Zone is the crystallized domain of form, logic, and manifest reality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞GZS is not a passive readーit is an active engagement with perception itself. It challenges the reader to stretch, bend, and reassemble their understanding around new patterns of coherence. Through chapters like The Theory of Not Nothing, The Elastic Shell, and The Coherence Engine, the book offers a philosophical toolkit for navigating the tension between what is and what could be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from disciplines as diverse as quantum theory, computer science, theology, and poetic abstraction, GZS weaves a tapestry of ideas that are both intellectually rigorous and spiritually evocative. It speaks to the seeker, the thinker, the designer of thoughtーanyone who senses that reality is more than what meets the eye, and that truth may lie in the structure behind the structure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The writing style balances analytical clarity with lyrical depth. Diagrams and conceptual riffs punctuate the narrative, offering visual anchors for abstract ideas. Each section builds recursively, forming a spiral of insight that mirrors the very structure of the cosmos it seeks to describe.＜br /＞ GZS is not a doctrineーit is a lens. It does not claim to answer every metaphysical question, but it offers a coherent framework through which such questions may be meaningfully asked. It is a book for those who are not satisfied with binary thinking, who crave a synthesis of logic and mystery, and who believe that the universe is not random, but exquisitely designed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you are a philosopher, a scientist, a spiritual explorer, or a curious mind standing at the edge of known thought, God Zone Singularity offers a mapーnot to certainty, but to coherence. It is a singularity not of collapse, but of convergence. A place where paradox becomes structure, and structure becomes song.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a book for those who feel the pulse of something deeper beneath the surface of thoughtーfor those who sense that existence itself is a kind of code, a kind of music, a kind of architecture waiting to be read. GZS is that reading. It is a metaphysical instrument tuned to the frequency of coherence, designed to resonate with minds that seek structure without rigidity, mystery without confusion, and clarity without compromise.＜/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。 | 1,350円 |
 Green Zone Imperial Life in the Emerald City【電子書籍】[ Rajiv Chandrasekaran ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From inside a surreal bubble of pure Americana known as the Green Zone, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority attempted to rule Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Drawing on interviews and internal documents, Rajiv Chandrasekaran tells the memorable story of this ill-prepared attempt to build American democracy in a war-torn Middle Eastern country, detailing not only the risky disbanding of the Iraqi army and the ludicrous attempt to train the new police force, but absurdities such as the aide who based Baghdad's new traffic laws on those of the state of Maryland, downloaded from the net, and the twenty-four-year-old who had never worked in finance put in charge of revitalising Baghdad's stock exchange. ＜em＞Imperial Life in the Emerald City＜/em＞ is American reportage at its best.＜/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 |
