 Desert Storm 1991 The most shattering air campaign in history【電子書籍】[ Dr Richard P. Hallion ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An expertly written, illustrated new analysis of the ＜em＞Desert Storm＜/em＞ air campaign fought against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, which shattered the world's fourth-largest army and sixth-largest air force in just 39 days, and revolutionized the world's ideas about modern air power.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Operation ＜em＞Desert Storm＜/em＞ took just over six weeks to destroy Saddam Hussein's war machine: a 39-day air campaign followed by a four-day ground assault. It shattered what had been the world's fourth-largest army and sixth-largest air force, and overturned conventional military assumptions about the effectiveness and value of air power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book, Richard P. Hallion, one of the world's foremost experts on air warfare, explains why ＜em＞Desert＜/em＞ ＜em＞Storm＜/em＞ was a revolutionary victory, a war won with no single climatic battle. Instead, victory came thanks largely to a rigorously planned air campaign. It began with an opening night that smashed Iraq's advanced air defense system, and allowed systematic follow-on strikes to savage its military infrastructure and field capabilities. When the Coalition tanks finally rolled into Iraq, it was less an assault than an occupation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The rapid victory in ＜em＞Desert Storm＜/em＞, which surprised many observers, led to widespread military reform as the world saw the new capabilities of precision air power, and it ushered in today's era of high-tech air warfare.＜/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。 | 2,819円 |

The volume will be of interest to archaeologists, especially zooarchaeologists, and classical scholars of pre-modern civilizations and societies.＜/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円 |
 Swift Boats at War in Vietnam【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞In this oral history, Vietnam veterans recount their stories of patrol and combat on the coast and in the Mekong Delta.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Developed specifically for the Vietnam War, Swift Boats were versatile craft "big enough to outrun anything they couldn't outfight" but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This added challenges to an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats' early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam's coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats' mission shifted to the Mekong Delta's labyrinth of three-thousand miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam.＜/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。 | 1,599円 |
 Law and Authority in British Legal History, 1200?1900【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞By presenting original research into British legal history, this volume emphasises the historical shaping of the law by ideas of authority. The essays offer perspectives upon the way that ideas of authority underpinned the conceptualisation and interpretation of legal sources over time and became embedded in legal institutions. The contributors explore the basis of the authority of particular sources of law, such as legislation or court judgments, and highlight how this was affected by shifting ideas relating to concepts of sovereignty, religion, political legitimacy, the nature of law, equity and judicial interpretation. The analysis also encompasses ideas of authority which influenced the development of courts, remedies and jurisdictions, international aspects of legal authority when questions of foreign law or jurisdiction arose in British courts, the wider authority of systems of legal ideas such as natural law, the authority of legal treatises, and the relationship between history, law and legal thought.＜/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。 | 19,634円 |
 Public City/Public Sex Homosexuality, Prostitution, and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris【電子書籍】[ Andrew Israel Ross ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the 1800s, urban development efforts modernized Paris and encouraged the creation of brothels, boulevards, caf?s, dancehalls, and even public urinals. However, complaints also arose regarding an apparent increase in public sexual activity, and the appearance of “individuals of both sexes with depraved morals” in these spaces. Andrew Israel Ross’s illuminating study, ＜em＞Public City/Public Sex,＜/em＞ chronicles the tension between the embourgeoisement and democratization of urban culture in nineteenth-century Paris and the commercialization and commodification of a public sexual culture, the emergence of new sex districts, as well as the development of gay and lesbian subcultures.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Public City/Public Sex＜/em＞ examines how the notion that male sexual desire required suitable outlets shaped urban policing and development. Ross traces the struggle to control sex in public and argues that it was the very effort to police the city that created new opportunities for women who sold sex and men who sought sex with other men. Placing public sex at the center of urban history, Ross shows how those who used public spaces played a central role in defining the way the city was understood.＜/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。 | 4,637円 |

From the Semi-Saxon Period of A.D. 1250 to 1300【電子書籍】[ Herbert Coleridge ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "A Dictionary of the First or Oldest Words in the English Language," Herbert Coleridge embarks on an ambitious exploration of the origins and evolution of the English lexicon. This work meticulously compiles and categorizes archaic terms, presenting deep scholarly insights into their etymology, usage, and contextual significance across time.

This dictionary is an indispensable resource for linguists, literary scholars, and anyone with a passion for etymology. Coleridge's thorough research offers readers a profound understanding of how language evolves, allowing them to appreciate the depth and richness of English words.

 Education in Manliness The Legacy of Thring’s Uppingham【電子書籍】[ Malcolm Tozer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Education in Manliness＜/em＞ explores the central educational ideal of the Victorian and Edwardian public school. The book traces the formulation of what Edward Thring, the most celebrated headmaster of the era, termed ‘true manliness’, noting the debt to the Platonic concept of the whole man and to Christian example, before examining the ideal’s best holistic practice at Uppingham and other mid-Victorian schools.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The central chapters follow the tilting of manliness to the physical by the muscular Christians in the 1860s, its distortion to Spartanism by the games masters and sporting dons from the 1870s, and its hijacking by the advocates of ＜em＞esprit de corps＜/em＞ during the remainder of the century. The book lays bare the total perversion of the ideal by the military imperialists in the years up to the Great War, and traces the lifeline of holistic education through the progressive school movement from the 1880s to the 1970s. It then brings this up to date by comparing true manliness with the ‘wholeness’ ideal of schools of the new millennium.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in the fields of history of education and the theory and practice of teaching, as well as school and university teachers, teacher trainers and trainee teachers.＜/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 Shame Machine Who Profits in the New Age of Humiliation【電子書籍】[ Cathy O'Neil ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ EDITORS’ CHOICE ? A clear-eyed warning about the increasingly destructive influence of America’s “shame industrial complex” in the age of social media and hyperpartisan politicsーfrom the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author of ＜em＞Weapons of Math Destruction＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“O’Neil reminds us that we must resist the urge to judge, belittle, and oversimplify, and instead allow always for complexity and lead always with empathy.”ーDave Eggers, author of ＜em＞The Every＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: ＜em＞The Times＜/em＞ (UK)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool: When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as Cathy O’Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponizedーused as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets us off the hook as a society. After all, why pay higher taxes to fund programs for people who are fundamentally unworthy?＜/p＞ ＜p＞O’Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations, and the healthcare system capitalize on it. There are damning stories of rehab clinics, reentry programs, drug and diet companies, and social media platformsーall of which profit from “punching down” on the vulnerable. Woven throughout ＜em＞The Shame Machine＜/em＞ is the story of O’Neil’s own struggle with body image and her recent weight-loss surgery, which awakened her to the systematic shaming of fat people seeking medical care.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With clarity and nuance, O’Neil dissects the relationship between shame and power. Whom does the system serve? Is it counter-productive to call out racists, misogynists, and vaccine skeptics? If so, when ＜em＞should＜/em＞ someone be “canceled”? How do current incentive structures perpetuate the shaming cycle? And, most important, how can we all fight back?＜/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。 | 1,088円 |

 Die gro?e Erfindung Eine Geschichte der Welt in neun geheimnisvollen Schriften【電子書籍】[ Silvia Ferrara ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Wenigstens viermal in der Weltgeschichte wurde die Schrift neu erfunden: in ?gypten, Mesopotamien, China und Mexiko (die Maya-Schrift). Silvia Ferrara verbindet Arch?ologie, Anthropologie und Neurowissenschaft, um die fr?hesten Phasen der Entstehung von Schriftkulturen zu vergegenw?rtigen. Und sie schl?pft in die Rolle einer wissenschaftlichen Detektivin, um ihre gro?e Passion mit uns zu teilen: die bis heute noch nicht entzifferten Schriften wie der Diskos von Phaistos (Kreta) oder die Rongorongo-Schrift von der Osterinsel. Dieses Buch erz?hlt von der vielleicht gr??ten Erfindung der Welt. Ohne sie w?ren wir nur Stimme, schwebten wir in st?ndiger Gegenwart. Silvia Ferrara verbindet Arch?ologie, Anthropologie und Neurowissenschaft, um die fr?hesten Phasen der Entstehung von Schriftkulturen zu vergegenw?rtigen. Und sie schl?pft in die Rolle einer wissenschaftlichen Detektivin, um ihre gro?e Passion mit uns zu teilen: die bis heute noch nicht entzifferten Schriften wie die kretische Hieroglyphe, die Linearschrift A, der Diskos von Phaistos (Kreta) oder die Rongorongo-Schrift von der Osterinsel. ≪Die gro?e Erfindung≫ ist ein popul?rwissenschaftlicher Pageturner, geschrieben im Stil einer m?ndlichen Erz?hlung; die Darstellung wirkt wie ein mitrei?ender Gedankenstrom. Der gew?hlten Form entspricht aber auch Ferraras These, trotz ihrer Bedeutung stelle die Schrift keine biologische oder historische Notwendigkeit dar. Viele komplexe Gesellschaften besa?en keine Schrift, trotzdem wuchsen und bl?hten sie. Neue Technologien k?nnten in Zukunft sogar zum Verschwinden der Schrift f?hren. Schon jetzt findet die Kommunikation andere Wege, etwa die Emojis.

He shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Everett describes how he began to realise that his discoveries about the Pirah? language opened up a new way of understanding how language works in our minds and in our lives, and that this way was utterly at odds with Noam Chomsky's universally accepted linguistic theories. The perils of passionate academic opposition were then swiftly conjoined to those of the Amazon in a debate whose outcome has yet to be won. Everett's views are most recently discussed in Tom Wolfe's bestselling ＜em＞The Kingdom of Speech＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Adventure, personal enlightenment and the makings of a scientific revolution proceed together in this vivid, funny and moving book.＜/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。 | 1,779円 |
 The Mandate of Heaven Marx and Mao in Modern China【電子書籍】[ Nigel Harris ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For radicals in Europe and North America, the anti-imperialist-and Chinese-revolutions continued the great task of 1789, 1848, and 1870, the bourgeois revolution” in Marx’s terms, and the creation of nations that would release the energies and unity of purpose to create new worlds of prosperity and freedom. The nationalist focus led to an emphasis on autarkic development-the nation, it was said, already possessed within its own boundaries all the requirements and resources to match the accomplishments of global civilization.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The overthrow of empire in the 1950s and 1960s-of which the coming to power of the Chinese Communist party in 1949 was a important part-seemed to augur a new era in world history, one in which the majority of the world’s population secured liberation. There was perhaps a sense in which this was true, but the reality for the majority was far removed from this giddy hope. And in the case of the ordinary Chinese, the newly liberated” regime proved far more brutal and exacting than those that it had replaced (which also attained high standards of brutality and injustice). In China the great famine of 1958 62 was only the most spectacularly cruel and gratuitous product of that new order.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For the former inhabitants of the old empires, national liberation turned out to be not liberation of all, but the creation of a new national ruling class, as often as not exploiting its position at home to make fortunes then smuggled abroad.＜/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 |
 Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egypt【電子書籍】[ G. Maspero ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egypt," G. Maspero offers a comprehensive examination of Egypt's rich archaeological heritage, combining meticulous research with an accessible narrative style. Maspero delves into the intricacies of Egyptian civilization, exploring the chronological development of its monuments, artifacts, and burial practices while providing critical insights into the broader cultural context. This text serves as both an essential reference for scholars and an engaging introduction for novices, all while reflecting the prevailing academic trends of the late 19th century that sought to systematically document and interpret the ancient world. Gaston Maspero, a pioneering Egyptologist, dedicated his career to uncovering the mysteries of ancient Egypt and was instrumental in the establishment of archaeology as a scientific discipline. His extensive travels and excavations, coupled with his deep knowledge of history and languages, informed his passion for the subject. Maspero's work also coincided with the public's increasing fascination with Egyptology during his time, inspired by the wave of discoveries that were captivating both academics and the populace. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the profound complexities of Egyptian history and archaeology. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a curious enthusiast, Maspero's engaging prose and thorough analysis will deepen your understanding of one of humanity's most revered ancient civilizations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |
 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History Enriched edition. Growth, Turmoil, and Doctrinal Debates in the Evolution of the Christian Church【電子書籍】[ B. H. Roberts ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞B. H. Roberts' "Outlines of Ecclesiastical History" is a meticulous examination of the evolution of the Christian Church, exploring its growth, turmoil, and theological debates from its inception through significant historical milestones. Roberts employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, combining narrative clarity with analytical depth, making this work a vital resource for understanding the intricacies of ecclesiastical developments. The book is situated within a broader discourse on religious history and is particularly notable for how it addresses the intersection of faith and institutional authority, a theme deeply rooted in the challenges faced by early Christians and their various sects. B. H. Roberts, a prominent figure in early 20th-century Mormon thought, was actively engaged in both theological discourse and historical investigation. His background in religious studies and his roles within the Latter-day Saint movement undoubtedly informed his perspective on ecclesiastical history. Roberts' dual identity as a historian and theologian allows him to draw upon both scriptural sources and historical documentation, providing a comprehensive overview that is both reverent and critical of its subjects.

 In Indian Tents【電子書籍】[ Abby Langdon Alger ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In Indian Tents is a work written by Abby Langdon Alger, an American author, ethnologist and translator: "In the summer of 1882 and 1883, I was associated with Charles G. Leland in the collection of the material for his book "The Algonquin Legends of New England". I found the work so delightful, that I have gone on with it since, whenever I found myself in the neighborhood of Indians. The supply of legends and tales seems to be endless, one supplementing and completing another, so that there may be a dozen versions of one tale, each containing something new. I have tried, in this little book, in every case, to bring these various versions into a single whole; though I scarcely hope to give my readers the pleasure which I found in hearing them from the Indian story-tellers."
