 Learn Better Mastering the Skills for Success in Life, Business, and School, or How to Become an Expert in Just About Anything【電子書籍】[ Ulrich Boser ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For centuries, experts have argued that learning was about memorizing information: You're supposed to study facts, dates, and details; burn them into your memory; and then apply that knowledge at opportune times. But this approach to learning isn’t nearly enough for the world that we live in today, and in ＜em＞Learn Better＜/em＞ journalist and education researcher Ulrich Boser demonstrates that ＜em＞how＜/em＞ we learn can matter just as much as what we learn.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this brilliantly researched book, Boser maps out the new science of learning, showing how simple techniques like comprehension check-ins and making material personally relatable can help people gain expertise in dramatically better ways. He covers six key steps to help you “learn how to learn,” all illuminated with fascinating stories like how Jackson Pollock developed his unique painting style and why an ancient Japanese counting device allows kids to do math at superhuman speeds. Boser’s witty, engaging writing makes this book feel like a guilty pleasure, not homework.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Learn Better＜/em＞ will revolutionize the way students and society alike approach learning and makes the case that being smart is not an innate abilityーlearning is a skill everyone can master. With Boser as your guide, you will be able to fully capitalize on your brain’s remarkable ability to gain new skills and open up a whole new world of possibilities.＜/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。 | 777円 |

 The Korean Welfare State Social Investment in an Aging Society【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The birth and remarkable expansion of Korean social welfare policy over the last several decades has taken place amidst the socio-economic burdens of a rapidly aging society. This book surveys these developments through the analytic lens of the Social Investment State, under which contemporary policies have altered the essential character of the 20th century welfare states, which had provided a counterforce to capitalism. In contrast, the Social Investment State is seen as backing policies designed to advance capitalism by promoting labor force participation, the growth of human capital, individual responsibility and economic development. In examining the modern context and development of the Korean welfare state, this book is divided into three sections that focus on the socio-political evolution, the core policies of the Korean welfare state, and the contemporary policy challenges of Korea's aging society. The first section traces the socio-political evolution of the Korean welfare state over the last three decades. The second section surveys the core policies of the Korean welfare state. The third section explores several key policy challenges encountered by the Korean approach to social investment as it seeks to address the demands of social protection in a rapidly aging society. The volume concludes with a postscript that reviews the contemporary Korean discourse, which goes beyond the social investment state to the political interests in a universal basic income policy.＜/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。 | 11,979円 |
 Kings in All but Name The Lost History of Ouchi Rule in Japan, 1350-1569【電子書籍】[ Thomas D. Conlan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the sixteenth century, members of the Ouchi family were kings in all but name in much of Japan. Immensely wealthy, they controlled sea lanes stretching to Korea and China, as well as the Japanese city of Yamaguchi, which functioned as an important regional port with a growing population and a host of temples and shrines. The family was unique in claiming ethnic descent from Korean kings, and-remarkably for this time-such claims were recognized in both Korea and Japan. Their position, coupled with dominance over strategic ports and mines, allowed them to facilitate trade throughout East and Southeast Asia. They also played a key cultural role in disseminating Confucian texts, Buddhist sutras, ink paintings, and pottery, and in creating a distinctive, hybrid culture that fused Japanese, Korean, and Chinese beliefs, objects, and customs. ＜em＞Kings in All but Name＜/em＞ illustrates how Japan was an ethnically diverse state from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries, closely bound by trading ties to Korea and China. It reveals new archaeological and textual evidence proving that East Asia had integrated trading networks long before the arrival of European explorers and includes an analysis of ores and slag that shows how mining techniques improved and propelled East Asian trade. The story of the Ouchi rulers argues for the existence of a segmented polity, with one center located in Kyoto, and the other in the Ouchi city of Yamaguchi. It also contradicts the belief that Japan collapsed into centuries of turmoil and rather proves that Japan was a stable and prosperous trading state where rituals, policies, politics, and economics were interwoven and diverse.＜/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。 | 16,067円 |
 Geographical Data Science and Spatial Data Analysis An Introduction in R【電子書籍】[ Lex Comber ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞We are in an age of big data where all of our everyday interactions and transactions generate data. Much of this data is spatial ? it is collected some-＜em＞where＜/em＞ ? and identifying analytical insight from trends and patterns in these increasing rich digital footprints presents a number of challenges.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whilst other books describe different flavours of Data Analytics in R and other programming languages, there are none that consider ＜em＞Spatial Data＜/em＞ (i.e. the location attached to data), or that consider issues of inference, linking Big Data, Geography, GIS, Mapping and Spatial Analytics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a ‘learning by doing’ textbook, building on the previous book by the same authors, ＜em＞An Introduction to R for Spatial Analysis and Mapping＜/em＞. It details the theoretical issues in analyses of Big Spatial Data and developing practical skills in the reader for addressing these with confidence.＜/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。 | 7,726円 |
 Doing Ethnography in the Wake of the Displacement of Transnational Sex Workers in Yokohama Sensuous Remembering【電子書籍】[ Ayaka Yoshimizu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Doing Ethnography in the Wake of the Displacement of Transnational Sex Workers in Yokohama＜/em＞ reflects on the politics, poetics, and ethics of remembering the lives of transnational migrant sex workers in postcolonial Japan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the port city of Yokohama, the book focuses on the “water trade” in the Koganecho neighbourhood where exploitative and stigmatised labour took place, involving sexual services performed by migrant women. In recent years the city has sought to rebrand Koganecho, evicting transnational migrant sex workers who had been integral to postindustrial development and erasing their past presence. The author explores Yokohama’s memoryscapes in the aftermath of displacement through embodied knowledge, engaging her senses and ethics as a colonizer-researcher as she navigates the elusive past through traces that remain in the present. She examines the city’s built environment, official historical narratives, films, and photographic works. With few brothels and workers remaining, Yoshimizu fills the gap with her own interactions, encounters, and imaginings. Yoshimizu also writes through the imagery of water in ways that are informed by the local usage and imaginationsーthe ocean, flowing rivers, swamps, humidity, alcohol, the fluidity of relationships, and transient lives. The water also offers a way to sense the “ghost”, or the displaced lives and the effects of displacement, that, like humid air, stick to those who occupy or inhabit the site of displacement today. This interdisciplinary work makes a valuable contribution to sensory studies, memory studies, migration studies, and Asian studies.＜/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。 | 9,616円 |
 Millennia of Language Change Sociolinguistic Studies in Deep Historical Linguistics【電子書籍】[ Peter Trudgill ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Were Stone-Age languages really more complex than their modern counterparts? Was Basque actually once spoken over all of Western Europe? Were Welsh-speaking slaves truly responsible for the loss of English morphology? This latest collection of Peter Trudgill's most seminal articles explores these questions and more. Focused around the theme of sociolinguistics and language change across deep historical millennia (the Palaeolithic era to the Early Middle Ages), the essays explore topics in historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, language change, linguistic typology, geolinguistics, and language contact phenomena. Each paper is fully updated for this volume, and includes linking commentaries and summaries, for easy cross-reference. This collection will be indispensable to academic specialists and graduate students with an interest in the sociolinguistic aspects of historical linguistics.＜/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。 | 5,970円 |
 Syntactic Change in Late Modern English Studies on Colloquialization and Densification【電子書籍】[ Erik Smitterberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Syntactic Change in Late Modern English presents a stability paradox to linguists; despite the many social changes that took place between 1700 and 1900, the language appeared to be structurally stable during this period. This book resolves this paradox by presenting a new, idiolect-centred perspective on language change, and shows how this framework is applicable to change in any language. It then demonstrates how an idiolect-centred framework can be reconciled with corpus-linguistic methodology through four original case studies. These concern colloquialization (the process by which oral features spread to writing) and densification (the process by which meaning is condensed into shorter linguistic units), two types of change that characterize Modern English. The case studies also shed light on the role of genre and gender in language change and contribute to the discussion of how to operationalize frequency in corpus linguistics. This study will be essential reading for researchers in historical linguistics, corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics.＜/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。 | 4,244円 |

 Tumultuous Decade Empire, Society, and Diplomacy in 1930s Japan【電子書籍】[ Tosh Minohara ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The 1930s was a dark period in international affairs. The Great Depression affected the economic and social circumstances of the world’s major powers, contributing to armed conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. This volume focuses exclusively on Japan, which witnessed a flurry of progressive activities in this period, activities which served both domestic and international society during the “tumultuous decade.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Featuring an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars, ＜em＞Tumultuous Decade＜/em＞ examines Japanese domestic and foreign affairs between 1931 and 1941. It looks at Japan in the context of changing approaches to global governance, the rise of the League of Nations, and attempts to understand the Japanese worldview as it stood in the 1930s, a crucial period for Japan and the wider world. The editors argue that, like many other emerging powers at the time, Japan experienced a national identity crisis during this period and that this crisis is what ultimately precipitated Japan’s role in the Second World War as well as the global order that took shape in its aftermath.＜/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。 | 4,410円 |
 Books, Bricks and Bytes Libraries in the Twenty-first Century【電子書籍】[ Stephen R. Graubard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Libraries are experiencing a technological revolution that goes well beyond anything that has existed since the invention of printing. Not surprisingly, the digital library, with all that it portends for the future of the book and the periodical, but also with all that it implies for the kinds of information that will be collected and disseminated, will necessarily preoccupy those responsible for libraries in the new century. Everything from copyright, access, and cost to the nature of the reading public itself is now up for re-examination.'Books, Bricks, and Bytes' brings together an extraordinary array of authors at the cutting edge of these concerns, not only within the United States, but experts drawn from Germany, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and India. James H. Billington discusses the Library of Congress in the information age; Ann S. Okerson outlines two models for securing scholarly information; Donald S. Lamm discusses the shaky partnership of publishers and librarians hi this new environment; Klaus-Dieter Lehmann provides a framework for maintaining the intellectual heritage of the past in a digitized future. Each contributor shows hi concrete detail and vivid illustration that the library as a world of holdings is increasingly valued as an incomparable place to access information. In his preface to the book, Stephen Graubard reminds us that whether or not one believes in the reality of the information revolution that is said to be overtaking the world, it is obvious that the libraries being built today do not resemble those marble sanctuaries constructed hi the Victorian age or in the early twentieth entury. This is a work that shows how libraries have been transformed from "refuges" from the external world, to places that reflect the social and intellectual values of specific societies. The idea that the library is a public trust and public resource is at the center of this unusually fine collection at the cutting edge of professional and public life.＜/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。 | 10,943円 |
 Constitutional Politics and the Judiciary Decision-making in Central and Eastern Europe【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities, for example in Poland and Hungary, have attracted international interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature in Central and Eastern European countries. Several political actors have argued that courts have assumed too much power after the democratic transformation process in 1989/1990. These claims are explicitly or implicitly connected to the charge that courts have constrained the room for manoeuvre of the legislatures too heavily and that they have entered the field of politics. Nevertheless, the question to what extent has this aggregation of power constrained the dominant political actors has never been examined accurately and systematically in the literature. The present volume fills this gap by applying an innovative research methodology to quantify the impact and effect of court’s decisions on legislation and legislators, and measure the strength of judicial decisions in six CEE countries.＜/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 |
 Flourishing Why We Need Religion in a Globalized World【電子書籍】[ Miroslav Volf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜div＞More than almost anything else, globalization and the great world religions are shaping our lives, affecting everything from the public policies of political leaders and the economic decisions of industry bosses and employees, to university curricula, all the way to the inner longings of our hearts. Integral to both globalization and religions are compelling, overlapping, and sometimes competing visions of what it means to live well.＜BR＞ ?＜BR＞ In this perceptive, deeply personal, and beautifully written book, a leading theologian sheds light on how religions and globalization have historically interacted and argues for what their relationship ought to be. Recounting how these twinned forces have intersected in his own life, he shows how world religions, despite their malfunctions, remain one of our most potent sources of moral motivation and contain within them profoundly evocative accounts of human flourishing. Globalization should be judged by how well it serves us for living out our authentic humanity as envisioned within these traditions. Through renewal and reform, religions might, in turn, shape globalization so that can be about more than bread alone.＜/div＞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。 | 3,715円 |
 The Mediterranean Diaspora in Late Antiquity What Christianity Cost the Jews【電子書籍】[ Ross Shepard Kraemer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞The Mediterranean Diaspora in Late Antiquity＜/em＞ examines the fate of Jews living in the Mediterranean Jewish diaspora after the Roman emperor Constantine threw his patronage to the emerging orthodox (Nicene) Christian churches. By the fifth century, much of the rich material evidence for Greek and Latin-speaking Jews in the diaspora diminishes sharply. Ross Shepard Kraemer argues that this increasing absence of evidence is evidence of increasing absence of Jews themselves. Literary sources, late antique Roman laws, and archaeological remains illuminate how Christian bishops and emperors used a variety of tactics to coerce Jews into conversion: violence, threats of violence, deprivation of various legal rights, exclusion from imperial employment, and others. Unlike other non-orthodox Christians, Jews who resisted conversion were reluctantly tolerated, perhaps because of beliefs that Christ's return required their conversion. In response to these pressures, Jews leveraged political and social networks for legal protection, retaliated with their own acts of violence, and sometimes became Christians. Some may have emigrated to regions where imperial laws were more laxly enforced, or which were under control of non-orthodox (Arian) Christians. Increasingly, they embraced forms of Jewish practice that constructed tighter social boundaries around them. ＜em＞The Mediterranean Diaspora in Late Antiquity＜/em＞ concludes that by the beginning of the seventh century, the orthodox Christianization of the Roman Empire had cost diaspora Jews--and all non-orthodox persons, including Christians--dearly.＜/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。 | 19,169円 |

 A History of Domestic Manners and Sentiments in England During the Middle Ages Enriched edition.【電子書籍】[ Thomas Wright ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "A History of Domestic Manners and Sentiments in England During the Middle Ages," Thomas Wright meticulously examines the everyday lives and social norms that characterized medieval England.

It was a crucial transportation hub and communications center, with railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines. Linz was also the town Hitler claimed as home and had long intended to remake as the cultural capital of Europe, filling its planned ＜em＞Fuehrermuseum＜/em＞ with world-famous art stolen from his conquered territories.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inevitably, Linz was also one of the most heavily defended targets remaining in Europe. The airmen of the Fifteenth Air Force were a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. As their mission was unveiled in the predawn hours of April 25th, audible groans and muffled expletives passed many lips. The reality of that mission would prove more brutal than any imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the unheated, unpressurized B?24 Liberator and B?17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, young men battled elements as dangerous as anything the Germans could throw at them.

It is also a timeless tale of courage and terror, loss and redemption, humanity and savagery.＜/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。 | 2,731円 |
 Freedom of the Press Act Exploring Press Freedom in Sweden: A Legal and Historical Analysis【電子書籍】[ Swedish Government ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The "Freedom of the Press Act" is a pioneering legislative document that enshrines the principles of transparency and accountability in governance. Crafted in a concise yet impactful legal style, the Act represents a groundbreaking moment in Sweden's democratic evolution. Introduced in 1766, it established the right to free expression and granted citizens the authority to access information held by the government, positioning Sweden as a global leader in press freedom during a time when such ideals were scarce. The Act's historical context is critical, emerging from Enlightenment ideals that championed reason, individual rights, and the free exchange of ideas, aiming to limit censorship and empower the populace against tyranny. The Swedish government'??s commitment to civil liberties and the press is exemplified through this revolutionary legislation, which reflects the broader societal transformations of the 18th century. The intellectual climate of the period, influenced by figures such as Voltaire and Rousseau, provided the impetus for Sweden's early adoption of such laws, marking a significant departure from autocratic practices prevalent in Europe at the time. This bold move laid essential groundwork for modern democratic principles and human rights in governance. The "Freedom of the Press Act" is highly recommended for scholars, journalists, and political enthusiasts alike. This foundational text not only elucidates the historical trajectory of press freedom but also serves as a vital reference for understanding contemporary democratic practices and the ongoing struggles for free expression worldwide.

 The Stick of Joseph in the Hand of Ephraim【電子書籍】[ Restoration Scriptures Foundation ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The ancient House of Israel consisted of 12 families, or tribes, named for the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel). Ten of those tribes were conquered, driven from their homelands, and scattered throughout the world. Although their bloodlines continue, they have lost their identity with the House of Israel. The remaining two tribes have retained their identity, and are now known as the Jewish people, named for the tribe of Judah.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over 2500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel foretold a day when the spirit of YHWH would stir the scattered remnants of Israel and restore them to life (Ezekiel 37:11-14). He also prophesied of a ＜strong＞second scriptural record＜/strong＞ to come forth from the tribe of Joseph to Judah, in the hand of Joseph's son, Ephraim.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞This is that prophesied record.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Stick of Joseph in the Hand of Ephraim＜/em＞is a sacred, first-temple-period, Israelite text, written by a prophetic family from the tribe of Joseph, who fled Jerusalem in 601 BCE. YHWH led them for years in the wilderness and finally brought them "over the wall" to ancient America, in fulfillment of Jacob's final blessing to Joseph. (Genesis 49:22)＜/p＞ ＜p＞For 1,000 years, these ancient Israelites kept sacred records. When their civilization ended in destruction (420 CE), their final prophet, M'roni, hid this record in the ground, to come forth in the future for the prophesied restoration of scattered Israel to its former glory. This record is all of the following unique and extraordinary things:＜/p＞ ＜p＞? The shofar sounding to scattered Israel as YHWH's final attempt to gather His people;＜br /＞ ? A dire warning to the USA and a cry of repentance to the state of Israel. Any nation that does not honor the God of Israel will not survive;＜br /＞ ? An independent witness of the prophets, Mashiach, and the covenants given by YHWH to Israel;＜br /＞ ? A record of the means whereby all mankind can, as Moses, ascend to stand in the presence of YHWH;＜br /＞ ? An invitation to believe and receive the promises YHWH extends to those who will be His people.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the only Hebrew Messianic/ascension document in existence that has not been influenced by entanglements with Babylon, Greece, or Rome, because those who kept the record left Jerusalem and the Eastern Hemisphere prior to the Babylonian captivity. It is the most sublime and direct Jewish ascension text available.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This annotated Hebrew-roots English edition restores the ancient Hebraic nature of the record, to provide a clear understanding of Israel's God, His work now underway, and the coming age of Mashiach.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you study religion in the Torah, Tanakh, Talmud, NIV Bible, Zohar, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Catholic writings, LDS scriptures, biblical commentary, or other holy books, this volume will inspire you to greater prophetic literacy, gifts in spirituality, understanding of history and theology, and most importantly, immerse your soul in a conversation and relationship with that God who loves, forgives, guides, and reconnects honest searchers with the tree of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Stick of Joseph is a greater discovery than the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Nag Hammadi library, though it has received far less attention. ＜strong＞It is the preeminent Messianic document in the world＜/strong＞, untwisting the false Greek caricature known as Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It restores the basics of the complete ancient Israelite faith and culture largely absent from modern, rabbinic Judaism. The ten commandments, temples, altars, Passover, the law of Moses, patterns, evidence, and much lost understanding all come together in this invaluable journal-record of wandering Israeli Hebrews who founded a great civilization.＜/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 |
