 Imperial Life in the Emerald City Inside Baghdad's Green Zone【電子書籍】[ Rajiv Chandrasekaran ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From a walled-off enclave of towering plants, smart villas and sparkling swimming pools - a surreal bubble of pure Americana known as the Green Zone - the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority, under imperial viceroy L. Paul Bremer III, attempted to rule Iraq in the first twelve months after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on hundreds of 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 also bringing to light a host of lesser-known yet typical travesties, among them:＜/p＞ ＜p＞* the aide who based Baghdad's new traffic laws on those of the state of Maryland, downloaded＜/p＞ ＜p＞* the contractor with no previous experience paid millions to guard a closed airport＜/p＞ ＜p＞* the people with prior experience in the Middle East who were excluded in favour of lesser-qualified Republican Party loyalists＜/p＞ ＜p＞* the case of the 24-year-old who had never worked in finance put in charge of revitalising Baghdad's stock exchange＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written with wit and urgency by a sharp-eyed observer, ＜em＞Imperial Life in the Emerald City＜/em＞ provides a hair-raising portrait of the gap between the Oz-like Green Zone and the brutal reality of post-war Iraq. It 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。 | 2,004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。 | 240円 |
 PTSD and Folk Therapy Everyday Practices of American Masculinity in the Combat Zone【電子書籍】[ John Paul Wallis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Using war memoirs, war journalism, and the personal experiences of John Paul Wallis as a Marine with two tours of duty in Iraq, Wallis and Mechling analyze the folklore shared by male warriors in the combat zone to understand how the traditional everyday practices of these men in groups serve as a form of psychological first aid for relieving the symptoms associated with the stress of living, working, and fighting in the combat zone. The authors study how boys and men are socialized in American culture, the context for their examining the folk traditions, including pet-keeping, rough-and-tumble play fighting, video game play, masturbation, dark play, and deep play.＜/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。 | 15,382円 |

 Green Zone Diary A Diplomat’s War Story【電子書籍】[ Amy Madsen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Green Zone Diary: A Diplomat's War Story is a vivid insider's account by a State Department Foreign Service Officer posted in the Middle East during the early 2000s. Centered on Baghdad's Green Zone, Madsen takes us behind the scenes of a war effort with heartwarming and heartbreaking honesty. Different from the military accounts of war, it chronicles the perspective of one civilian, very junior, State Department official whose mundane bureaucratic duties in Iraq all too often alternated with tragedy. The reader is offered a glimpse of war-time diplomatic tasks we rarely stop to think about: signing death certificates of people you admire or coordinating a return of a minor who inexplicably found himself in Iraq. With the background noise of guns, Madsen reveals the contrasts of surviving the close quarters living and the amenities (or lack thereof) provided in the Green Zone and the hardships of being a woman predominantly among men. Separated from the chaos of the war only by her office walls, Madsen struggles to find her place and safety among the soldiers and private contractors she swore to serve alongside.＜/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。 | 1,518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. Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone 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, Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone 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。 | 12,628円 |

 Danger Zone Falling from Within【電子書籍】[ Casey Johnson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Christians often focus on the attacks that are being waged from outside their churches, while things that happen within the body of Christ that can damage our churches are forgotten. You have heard the expression, The best way to destroy a country is from within. This same principle also applies to the church.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Danger Zone: Falling from Within, author and evangelist Casey Johnson discusses the subtle but dangerous trends that harm the church. He issues a wakeup call for Christians to open their eyes and notice the subtle dangers within the Church. Johnson considers five areas of danger: changing the character of God, reducing the depth of preaching, minimizing the Gospel, choosing the wrong church leaders, and stealing the Great Commission.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If there ever was a time for the church to rise up, it is now. Christians cannot become so self-centered that they try to make every part of church about themselves. If the local church continues to practice many of these dangers, it can slowly become a place where we worship ourselves instead of God.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You can only lead in the direction you are going.＜br /＞ -Hunter Johnson＜/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。 | 468円 |

 Extraterrestri "le zone calde in Italia"【電子書籍】[ Lucio Tarzariol ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In questo libro conosceremo le "zone pi? calde", le zone in cui convergono la maggior parte degli avvistamenti UFO e incontri ravvicinati del terzo e quarto tipo, vedremo le presunte Basi aliene e le mappe delle zone pi? interessate ad avvenimenti di interazione aliena nel mondo ma soprattutto qui in Italia. Infatti il Centro Ufologico Nazionale e altri centri ufologici italiani da oltre mezzo secolo di attivit? hanno raccolto, anche assieme all'Aeronautica militare e alle forze dell'ordine, centinaia di casi inspiegabili. Anche se lo scetticismo dilaga ancora e anche la Cia ha rivelato che gli Ufo anni '50 erano solo voli segreti di U2; molte autorit? e personaggi di rilievo si sono fatti avanti e li ritroviamo tra coloro che ritengono che ci? non basti a spiegare il fenomeno, anzi alcuni confermano tenacemente l'esistenza di esseri alieni provenienti da mondi lontani: altri pianeti, altre galassie e, addirittura, da altre dimensioni e le testimonianze raccolte in questo libro lo confermano.＜br /＞ Per cui anche l'ipotesi di Jacques Vall?e che ci parla della "Dimensione di Magonia", un mondo parallelo al nostro che ogni tanto si fa vivo nella nostra realt? sembra trovare molteplici conferme, anche fotografiche. Infatti, secondo l’ufologo franco-americano esisterebbe un universo parallelo al nostro, per l'appunto, la cosiddetta "Dimensione di Magonia" in grado di interferire con noi. Gli Ufo non sarebbero, quindi, solo manifestazioni aliene ma solamente entit? parafisiche provenienti da un universo parallelo. Un'ipotesi, questa, che spiegherebbe non solo gli avvistamenti degli Ufo, ma anche quelli di fate, gnomi, elfi, folletti e altre creature soprannaturali di vario tipo. Del resto anche la Cia ha confermato l'esistenza di esseri alieni provenienti da altre dimensioni, da un altro continuum spazio-temporale, vedremo in questo testo alcuni approfondimenti su tale dichiarazione. Per cui tutto ? possibile!＜br /＞ Di fatto sappiamo che a partire dagli anni quaranta sono iniziati ad aumentare i casi di avvistamenti tanto che negli anni ottanta, il Centro Italiano di Studi Ufologici ha diramato una serie di cataloghi di segnalazioni e avvistamenti UFO dai quali deriva che le regioni italiane con un maggior numero di avvistamenti sono il Lazio, la Campania, la Lombardia, la Liguria e le Marche. Inoltre vi sono altre zone ancora pi? calde di cui non si accenna per niente, quali la Valmalenco, Valtellina, Aviano e Pordenone in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Treviso, il Montello e altre zone del Veneto, ecc., che chiss? perch?? Non hanno l'attenzione che meriterebbero.＜br /＞ Esistono poi, come vedremo, molteplici tipologie di incontri ravvicinati con gli UFO, i pi? interessanti risultano essere quelli dal contenuto di stranezza pi? elevati. Si va dagli avvistamenti in cui la distanza tra il testimone e il fenomeno ? inferiore a 150 metri, ai casi con tracce che spesso includono tracce sul suolo o sulla vegetazione che solitamente si trovano dopo un avvistamento. I casi fotografici sono quelli in cui, oltre la testimonianza narratoria, vengono fornite foto o video. In molti di questi casi si viene a conoscenza di fenomeni comparsi nelle foto o nei video ma non visibili a occhio nudo. Vi sono inoltre le ancora pi? interessanti testimonianze di incontri ravvicinati di terzo e quarto tipo che assieme a quelle effettuate da piloti militari o civili durante i voli ci rivelano sconcertanti verit?; e non dimentichiamo il fenomeno delle abduction le cui casistiche ormai hanno rivelato occulte e nascoste manifestazioni. Tutto da leggere e comprendere attraverso il discernimento del proprio Io pi? profondo.＜/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。 | 1,687円 |
 Interpreting in the Zone How the Conscious and Unconscious Function in Interpretation【電子書籍】[ Jack Hoza ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Successful interpretation can feel seamless, an intuitive and efficient translation of meaning from one signed or spoken language to another. Yet the process of interpretation is actually quite complex and relies upon myriad components ranging from preparation to experience to honed judgment. Interpreting in the zone, instinctively and confidently, is an energizing, encompassing experience that results in great satisfaction and top performanceーbut what does it take to get there?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jack Hoza’s newest research examines the components that enable interpreters to perform successfully, looking at literature in interpretation, cognitive science, education, psychology, and neuroscience, as well as reviewing the results of two qualitative studies he conducted. He seeks to uncover what it means to interpret in the zone by understanding exactly how the brain works in interpretation scenarios. He explores a range of dichotomies that influence interpretation outcomes, such as:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Intuition vs. rational thought＜/li＞ ＜li＞Left brain vs. right brain＜/li＞ ＜li＞Explicit vs. implicit learning＜/li＞ ＜li＞Novice vs. master＜/li＞ ＜li＞Spoken vs. signed languages＜/li＞ ＜li＞Emotion vs. reasoning＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Cognitive processes such as perception, short-term memory, and reflexivity are strong factors in driving successful interpretation and are explored along with habits, behaviors, and learned strategies that can help or hinder interpretation skills. Hoza also considers the importance of professional development and collaboration with other practitioners in order to continually hone expertise.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Interpreting in the Zone＜/em＞ shows that cognitive research can help us better understand the intricacies of the interpreting process and has implications for how to approach the interpreting task. This resource will be of value to both the interpreter-in-training as well as the seasoned practitioner.＜/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。 | 6,079円 |
 Women in the War Zone Hospital Service in the First World War【電子書籍】[ Anne Powell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞In our collective memory, the First World War is dominated by men.＜/strong＞ The sailors, soldiers, airmen and politicians about whom histories are written were male, and the first half of the twentieth century was still a time when a woman's place was thought to be in the home. It was not until the Second World War that women would start to play a major role both in the armed forces and in the factories and the fields. Yet there were some women who were able to contribute to the war effort between 1914 and 1918, mostly as doctors and nurses. ＜em＞In Women in the War Zone＜/em＞, Anne Powell has selected extracts from first-hand accounts of the experiences of those female medical personnel who served abroad during the First World War. Covering both the Western and the Eastern Fronts, from Petrograd to Basra and from Antwerp to the Dardanelles, they include nursing casualties from the Battle of Ypres, a young doctor put in charge of a remote hospital in Serbia and a nurse who survived a torpedo attack, albeit with serious injuries. Filled with stories of bravery and kindliness, it is a book that honours the often unsung contribution made by the female doctors and nurses who helped to alleviate some of the suffering of the First World War.＜/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 |
 Safe Zone A Response to Large-Scale Refugee Outflows and Human Suffering【電子書籍】[ Lokman B. ?etinkaya ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Using legal arguments consistent with international law, this book explores whether and under which circumstances a State (or States) may establish and militarily enforce safe zones in countries that produce large-scale refugee outflows so as to protect its (or their) own interests by averting said outflows, as well as to alleviate human suffering in today’s world of civil and internal warfare.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Though large-scale refugee outflows have become an increasingly frequent problem in inter-state relations, international law offers no clear remedy. Accordingly, interpretation and adaptation of the existing rules and principles of international law, in addition to State practice and the jurisprudence of international courts, are required in order to find appropriate and lawful responses to such situations. The book examines countermeasures, necessity and humanitarian intervention as possible legal grounds to justify the establishment of safe zones.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the proposal of a safe zone for Syria remains on the international community’s agenda, the specific conditions of this case are particularly addressed in order to assess the suitability and legality of a possible safe zone in Syria.＜/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。 | 6,685円 |
 Inside the Danger Zone【電子書籍】[ Harold Lee Wise ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From the Iraqi attack on the USS Stark to Iranian mine fields to Revolutionary Guard gunboats, the 1987-88 Persian Gulf was a place of shadowy danger for U.S. Navy ships assigned to protect oil tankers during the Iran-Iraq War. A low-profile escort mission quickly became an international test of wills between the United States and Iran. The conflict escalated to involve secret missions and special operations until finally the United States and Iran engaged in open combat, most notably during Operation Praying Mantis in April 1988, the world's largest sea-air battle since World War II. It was the largest deployment of American forces between the Vietnam War and Desert Storm and one with dramatic implications for subsequent events. Yet, the story remained mostly untold and misunderstood for almost two decades. Inside the Danger Zone is the first book ever published to focus on this period, a fourteen-month span that saw an unprecedented series of American military action in this volatile region. Based on declassified documents and extensive interviews with veterans and government officials, many of which spoke out for the first time, Inside the Danger Zone is a fast moving narrative history that tells the story of this quasi-war with Iran from the White House to the front lines.＜/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。 | 5,261円 |

It also explores the territorial politics that have defined baseball's development as a form of transnational popular culture, from the impact of Dominican baseball academies to the organized campaign against stadium development by members of Seattle's Asian American community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on a rich body of research along with new readings of popular journalism, fiction, and film, ＜em＞Expanding the Strike Zone＜/em＞ highlights the ways in which baseball's players, owners, writers, and fans have shaped and reshaped the sport as a central element of popular culture from the postwar boom to the Great Recession.＜/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。 | 2,430円 |
 No go zone. Quello che non vi dicono sull'immigrazione di massa【電子書籍】[ Edoardo Gagliardi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞L'immigrazione di massa ? uno dei fenomeni pi? complessi e meno compresi del nostro e del precedente secolo, spesso utilizzata da politici, istituzioni e ideologie come strumento per incrementare il consenso o per manipolare l'opinione pubblica. La narrativa ufficiale spiega che le guerre, i conflitti, le crisi economiche e sociali, o addirittura i cambiamenti climatici sono tra le principali cause dell'immigrazione, legale e illegale. Ma ? davvero solo questo? O forse dietro l'immigrazione di massa si nascondono interessi ideologici, economici e agende politiche che sfuggono all'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica? Dalle No go zone in Svezia al turismo delle nascite negli Stati Uniti; dagli sbarchi in Italia fino al grande tab? dei rimpatri, passando per i grandi mutamenti etnici e demografici che stanno sconvolgendo l'Europa. Questo libro ? un'indagine a tutto campo di un fenomeno su cui spesso volutamente e colpevolmente si tace e sui cui la gran parte dei mezzi di informazione preferiscono sorvolare. Quello che il Potere vuole che i cittadini non sappiano, questo libro ve lo racconta senza peli sulla lingua e oltre il politicamente corretto.＜/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。 | 766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。 | 1,275円 |
 Drug War Zone Frontline Dispatches from the Streets of El Paso and Ju?rez【電子書籍】[ Howard Campbell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A ground-level chronicle of the violent drug war in＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞Ciudad Ju?rez, Mexico＜/strong＞**ーwith accounts from both traffickers and law enforcement, and “astute analysis” (＜em＞The Americas＜/em＞).**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thousands die in drug-related violence every year in Mexico. Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua, adjacent to El Paso, Texas, has become the most violent city in the drug war. Much of the cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine consumed in the United States is imported across the Mexican border, making El Paso/Ju?rez one of the major drug-trafficking venues in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this anthropological study of drug trafficking and anti-drug law enforcement efforts on the US?Mexico border, Howard Campbell uses an ethnographic perspective to chronicle the recent Mexican drug war, focusing especially on people and events in the El Paso/Ju?rez area. It is the first social science study of the violent drug war that is tearing Mexico apart.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on deep access to the drug-smuggling world, this study presents the drug war through the words of direct participants. Half of the book consists of oral histories from drug traffickers, and the other half from law enforcement officials. There is much journalistic coverage of the drug war, but very seldom are the lived experiences of traffickers and “narcs” presented in such vivid detail. In addition to providing an up-close, personal view of this world, Campbell explains and analyzes the functioning of cartels, the corruption that facilitates trafficking, the strategies of smugglers and anti-narcotics officials, and the perilous culture of drug trafficking that Campbell refers to as the “Drug War Zone.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞“This collection of oral histories of drug traffickers and counter-drug officials examines the border narco-world through the eyes of first-hand participants . . . An invaluable resource for anyone seeking a greater sociological understanding.” ー＜em＞Journal of Latin American Studies＜/em＞＜/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。 | 3,256円 |
