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。 3,641円

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。 2,640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。 2,695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.<br /> 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.<br /> 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?<br /> 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

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

Zones of the Spirit: A Book of Thoughts Exploring the Depths of the Human Soul: A Philosophical Reflection【電子書籍】[ August Strindberg ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Zones of the Spirit: A Book of Thoughts," August Strindberg presents an introspective exploration of the human condition, where psychological reflections intertwine with existential musings. This work, characterized by Strindberg's distinctive prose style'??marked by a lyrical yet fragmented narrative'??delves into the realms of spirituality, identity, and the complexities of human emotions. Written during a period of great personal turmoil for the author, the book meshes his aesthetic ideals with philosophical inquiry, creating a mosaic of thoughts that reflect both the chaos of his inner life and the broader currents of 19th-century thought, particularly the influences of Romanticism and early modern existentialism. August Strindberg (1849-1912), a prominent Swedish playwright and novelist, often grappled with themes of isolation and the meaning of existence throughout his career. His personal experiences, including struggles with mental health, tumultuous relationships, and a passionate engagement with religious and philosophical questions, significantly informed his writings. "Zones of the Spirit" emerged from his deeper explorations into the human psyche and the spiritual dilemmas confronting humanity, revealing the layers of his intellectual and emotional landscape. This book is a profound companion for readers interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and psychology. Strindberg's candid reflections provide valuable insights into the human experience, inviting readers to ponder their own 'zones of the spirit.' This work will undoubtedly resonate with those who appreciate deep, contemplative literature that challenges conventional perceptions of self and existence.</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。 310円

Plan Colombia: A Case for Political Warfare to Defeat Transnational Criminal Organizations in the Gray Zone - The Empty Space Between Peace and War, Avoiding Overtly Militarized Strategy【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. Transnational criminal organizations pose a threat to U.S. national security as well as the security of the global commons. Their activities lead to the corruption of government actors, erosion of human security, and the disruption of globalization. Transnational criminal organizations are able to operate with impunity because their actions reside in what is deemed the gray zone; the empty space between peace and war. Unfortunately, state institutions have historically attempted to combat transnational criminal organizations with an overtly militarized strategy which has typically exacerbated the situation, thereby allowing these organizations to prosper. Plan Colombia, and its subsequent initiatives, demonstrates that a measured military response guided by the tenets of Political Warfare can defeat transnational criminal organizations in the gray zone. U.S. support to Plan Colombia, and its subsequent initiatives, highlights that a coherent Political Warfare strategy allows all the instruments of national power to compete with, and eventually defeat, transnational criminal organizations in the continuum of conflict, resident within the gray zone.</p> <p>Through a web of organizations, TCOs circumvent law enforcement agencies while participating in an array of illegal activities focused on securing substantial profits. Leveraging coercion and corruption practices, TCOs have flourished in environments prone to human security issues. For decades, the United States Government's (USG) primary concern regarding TCOs has focused on narco-trafficking in the hopes that targeting the traffickers and producers would, in turn, curb drug use in the U.S. Recently, however, the USG has observed that TCOs not only operate in the illegal drug trade but have also diversified their activities to maximize profits while capitalizing on their ability to create instability in regions where they operate with impunity. There exists a nexus among illicit trafficking, corruption, and organized crime which feeds on the proliferation of fragile states, insurgency, and terrorism. The nexus creates an environment ripe for increasingly disenfranchised populations to subvert governments and delegitimize vulnerable states.</p> <ol> <li>Introduction 2. Literature Review 3.

Fifty Feet Above the Wall: Drug Cartel Drones in the U.S. - Mexico Border Zone Airspace, and What to Do About Them - Border Security Countering Hostile and Narco-Drones with Anti-Drone Doctrine【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This excellent 2018 report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.</p> <p>Over the last decade, the U.S. military and homeland security research groups have contemplated the issue of how to counter unmanned drones. Recently, border security agencies responsible for securing the U.S.-Mexico border are having to contend with the emerging threat of Mexico's drug cartel narcotics-smuggling drones, also known as narco-drones. Narco-drones are an example of cartel innovation for smuggling, among other deviant purposes, that U.S. border security will need a strategy to counter. This study aimed to build on the conceptual framework related to hostile drones in the airspace and specifically to find a strategy that the Department of Homeland Security could pursue to manage the narco-drone problem in the border-zone airspace.</p> <p>The author argues that the Mexican drug cartels adopt innovative drone tactics in response to border security measures or lack thereof, as well as through organizational learning. This study concludes that leveraging U.S. military experience, anti-drone doctrine, and detection assets developed for countering terrorist drones in the war zones of Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan is an effective strategy for countering narco-drones at the U.S.-Mexico border.</p> <p>I.

Besatzungsm?chte und Lizenzierungspolitik Grundlagen f?r die Wiederbegr?ndung der Parteien in der Franz?sischen Zone【電子書籍】[ Stefanie Leisentritt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - Nachkriegszeit, Kalter Krieg, Note: 1,7, Eberhard-Karls-Universit?t T?bingen (Institut f?r Zeitgeschichte), Veranstaltung: Wiederbegr?ndung und Neuanfang: Parteien und Wahlen in S?dwestdeutschland nach 1945, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Nachkriegsjahre stellten f?r die deutsche Bev?lkerung eine Zeit voller Ungewissheit, Entbehrungen und dem t?glichen Kampf ums ?berleben dar. Trotz der allgegenw?rtigen Probleme bestand in der ?ffentlichkeit direkt nach Kriegsende bereits Interesse an politischer Bet?tigung. Vor allem diejenigen Gruppen, die w?hrend der vergangenen 12 Jahre Hitler-Diktatur ihrer politischen Gesinnung nur im Verborgenen nachgehen konnten, ergriffen ihre Chance, an der Gestaltung eines neuen Deutschland mitzuwirken. Doch nicht allein der Wille der Bev?lkerung war entscheidend f?r die Wieder- und Neubegr?ndung von Parteien nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, auch die Ziele und Vorgaben der Besatzungsmacht spielten eine gro?e Rolle. Besonders die franz?sische Besatzungsmacht wurde in dieser Hinsicht lange Zeit sehr negativ dargestellt, da ihre Politik von vielen Vorgaben gepr?gt war. In dieser Arbeit soll nun untersucht werden, unter welchen Voraussetzungen sich deutsche Parteien nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg neu- und wiedergr?nden konnten, unter besonderer Ber?cksichtigung der franz?sischen Besatzungsmacht. Hierzu soll zun?chst die Struktur der Besatzungszonen in S?dwestdeutschland gekl?rt und anschlie?end ein grober ?berblick ?ber die Vorgaben der Potsdamer Konferenz hinsichtlich der Parteigr?ndung gegeben werden. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit widmet sich der Parteiwiederbegr?ndung in der franz?sischen Zone, beginnend zun?chst mit der Sonderrolle der Antifaschistischen Aussch?sse. Anschlie?end wird ein chronologischer ?berblick ?ber die Zeit bis zur Zulassung erster politischer Parteien gegeben. Der letzte Teil stellt die Ursachen des gesonderten franz?sischen Wegs hinsichtlich der Parteienzulassung dar, und untersucht hierf?r, woraus die vorrangigen Ziele der franz?sischen Besatzer bestanden und welche Auswirkungen diese Ziele hatten.</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。 703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

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

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

Chernobyl Roulette: War in the Nuclear Disaster Zone【電子書籍】[ Serhii Plokhy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A harrowing account of Russia’s occupation of the Chernobyl and Zaporizhia nuclear power plants, and the dangers of nuclear power colliding with warfare.</strong></p> <p>On February 24, 2022, the first day of Russia’s all-out attack on Ukraine, armored vehicles approached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine. Russian occupation of the plant, which would last thirty-five days, had begun.</p> <p>Only the dedication and resolve of Ukrainian personnel, who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days, spared the world a new Chernobyl accident. They had to make life-or-death decisions on cooperation or resistance, balancing loyalty to their families, their homeland, and innocent civilians in Ukraine and beyond who would suffer the consequences of a nuclear accident should it occur. The choices they made helped to save the world from another Chernobyl disaster.</p> <p>Meanwhile, a much more dangerous situation developed at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, the largest such facility in Europe. Following an attack there in March 2022, the Russian military remains in control, and Ukrainian intelligence warns of the potential for nuclear terrorism. We must face up to a new reality: there has already been warfare at two nuclear sites, and others are vulnerable.</p> <p>In a book that reads like a thriller, Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of the Cold War and Ukrainian history, joins the stories of the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to sound the alarm about the dangers of nuclear sites in a time of heightened conflict. There are 440 such sites around the globe today, and Russia’s aggression against Ukraine will not be the last war in human history. The story of the men and women of Chornobyl is more than recent history: it is also a glimpse into the not-so-distant future.</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。 3,729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

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

Britain and the German Churches, 1945-1950 The Role of the Religious Affairs Branch in the British Zone【電子書籍】[ Peter Howson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It is well known that at the key allied conferences during the latter part of World War II the future victorious allies were already progressing their post-war planning. Duly, an Allied Control Commission, with the task of providing administrative functions and eventually handing them over to an elected government, was formed in post-war Germany. In the Western zones, the cornerstone of coordinated administration was a policy of denazification, demilitarisation and democratization. Almost all sectors of German life would thereafter to be administered by the Allies.</p> <p>German Churches and religious affairs had, however, been promised to the defeated Germany. Of course, Nazism hadn't spared the Christian churches, and so questions of denazification and the future relationship between church and state in Germany remained significant. This book examines the British approach towards post-war German religious and ecclesiastical life by highlighting the role of the British Element of the Control Commission, more specifically the Religious Affairs Branch that was separated from the Education Branch at the end of 1945. Considering British attitudes to Catholics and Protestants, as well as the remaining Jewish and Muslim communities in Germany, this book uncovers allied differences with regards to organising future religious life in Germany.</p> <p>PETER HOWSON is the author of <em>Padre, Prisoner and Pen-Pusher. The World War One Experiences of the Reverend Benjamin O'Rorke</em> and <em>Muddling Through. The Organisation of British Army Chaplaincy in World War One</em>. For Boydell's Church of England Record Society Series, he edited <em>The First World War Diaries of the Rt. Rev. Llewellyn Gwynne</em> (2019). As a member of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department Howson served in Germany during the period 1977to 1997.</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。 3,376円
