【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Most people will tell you that there is no reason to be afraid of the dark; that there is nothing in the dark that wasn’t there in the daylight. Some would even argue that you are safer in the dark because it’s easier to hide. I for one am a firm believer in this logic. Yet there is a reason for every fear mankind seems to share as a whole. A lot of people have the same “irrational” fears. Why does mankind seem to be born with a fear of darkness? Could it be that at some point in man’s history there was something in the dark that wasn’t there in the light? Something to fear?Or is it that our seemingly instinctual fear of the dark is due to the darkness itself. What if at some point in time darkness became self-aware and threatened the life of any living being it came into contact with; each victim’s suffering and death happening in a different way as if Hell had been unleashed. If it happened once it could happen ag...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Across the world 2,000 people die each day from armed violence. Crucial negotiations for an arms trade treaty are taking place at the United Nations throughout July 2012. Oxfam's eBook 'The Final Countdown' explores the devastating impact of the arms trade and explains what the new treaty must contain if it is to be effective. It calls for strong and legally binding wording and explains the importance of clauses on ammunition and parts and components used to make weapons. It makes the case for criteria on socio-economic development, because a poorly regulated arms trade weakens the ability and willingness of governments to sustain progress. The report argues that without all these elements the treaty will fail to deliver.＜/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。

When you're broke and living in the depression, you take chances and take what you can with no one getting hurt. Mame Fernbrower is a good woman, but the depression has her at the final straw. Yes, she can sew and take care of her family's needs, mending shirts, turning cuffs, making clothes last just a little longer. Putting cardboard in shoes to go a little farther, adding water or a turnip to make a stew go a little further. Spices are the key, and she knows it. Her garden is small and puny, but she tends it and takes what she can out of it. Then, it happens, her whole world turns around with just one funeral.

Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged the legitimacy of Spanish rule, criticized colonial injustice and exclusion, and articulated the ideas that would later be embraced in the Great Rebellion in 1781.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Transference of orientalist images and identities to the American landscape and its inhabitants, especially in the Westーin other words, portrayal of the West as the “Orient”ーhas been a common aspect of American cultural history. Place names, such as the Jordan River or Pyramid Lake, offer notable examples, but the imagery and its varied meanings are more widespread and significant. Understanding that range and significance, especially to the western part of the continent, means coming to terms with the complicated, nuanced ideas of the Orient and of the North American continent that European Americans brought to the West. Such complexity is what historical geographer Richard Francaviglia unravels in this book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the publication of Edward Said’s book, ＜em＞Orientalism,＜/em＞ the term has come to signify something one-dimensionally negative.

Wildlife species, ecosystems, and Native cultures suffered, sometimes irreparably. Damage to wildlife and lands drew the attention of environmentalists, including John Muir, who applied their influence to enact wildlife protection laws and set aside lands for conservation. Alaska served as a testing ground for emergent national resource policy in the United States, as environmental values of species and ecosystem sustainability replaced the unrestrained exploitation of Alaska's early frontier ...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞＜em＞Ancient Maya Commerce＜/em＞ presents nearly two decades of multidisciplinary research at Chunchucmil, Yucatan, Mexicoーa thriving Classic period Maya center organized around commercial exchange rather than agriculture. An urban center without a king and unable to sustain agrarian independence, Chunchucmil is a rare example of a Maya city in which economics, not political rituals, served as the engine of growth. Trade was the raison d’?tre of the city itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using a variety of evidenceーarchaeological, botanical, geomorphological, and soil-basedーcontributors show how the city was a major center for both short- and long-distance trade, integrating the Guatemalan highlands, the Gulf of Mexico, and the interior of the northern Maya lowlands. By placing Chunchucmil into the broader context of emerging research at other Maya cities, the book reorients the understanding of ancient Maya economies. The book is acc...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞The Great Plains has been central to academic and popular visions of Native American warfare, largely because the region’s well-documented violence was so central to the expansion of Euroamerican settlement. However, social violence has deep roots on the Plains beyond this post-Contact perception, and these roots have not been systematically examined through archaeology before. War was part, and perhaps an important part, of the process of ethnogenesis that helped to define tribal societies in the region, and it affected many other aspects of human lives there. In ＜em＞Archaeological Perspectives on Warfare on the Great Plains＜/em＞, anthropologists who study sites across the Plains critically examine regional themes of warfare from pre-Contact and post-Contact periods and assess how war shaped human societies of the region.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors to this volume offera bird’s-eye view of warfare on the Great Plains, c...
