【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！】Autonomy, Care and Family Law【電子書籍】[ Anna Heenan ]

＜p＞＜strong＞There is a tension at the heart of family law and policy between the increasing influence of individual autonomy and the demands of caring for children.＜/strong＞ Individual autonomy envisages decisions made in one's own best interests, whereas decisions around care are often made for the good of the family, and may conflict with the caregiver's individual interests. Whereas individual autonomy valorises economic self-sufficiency, caregiving responsibilities constrain choice and conflict with paid work. This book explores this tension to consider how, given changing social trends, family law and policy should take account of caregiving responsibilities on parental separation. Crucially, it suggests that we need to rethink family law by placing care at its centre.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book draws on original empirical data to explore the experiences of parents in England and Wales, where the division of paid work and care is considered a choice, and Sweden, where parents are encouraged to work full-time, supported by wellfunded state childcare. This comparative perspective sheds light on whether the clash between the ideas of autonomy and care could be reconciled in a more gender equal society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book argues that caregiving is hidden from, and undervalued by, law and policy in both jurisdictions, underscoring the need for the proposed new approach. The law needs to think more deeply about what it means to care, and how the care provided by parents differs. Anna Heenan outlines how family law might look different if the proposed framework, based on placing care at the heart of family law, is adopted.＜/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。

【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！】The Western Illusion of Human Nature With Reflections on the Long History of Hierarchy, Equality and the Sublimation of Anarchy in the West, and Comparative Notes on Other Conceptions of the Human Condition【電子書籍】[ Marshall Sahlins ]

＜p＞Reflecting the decline in college courses on Western Civilization, Marshall Sahlins aims to accelerate the trend by reducing "Western Civ" to about two hours. He cites Nietzsche to the effect that deep issues are like cold baths; one should get into and out of them as quickly as possible. The deep issue here is the ancient Western specter of a presocial and antisocial human nature: a supposedly innate self-interest that is represented in our native folklore as the basis or nemesis of cultural order. Yet these Western notions of nature and culture ignore the one truly universal character of human sociality: namely, symbolically constructed kinship relations. Kinsmen are members of one another: they live each other's lives and die each other's deaths. But where the existence of the other is thus incorporated in the being of the self, neither interest, nor agency or even experience is an individual fact, let alone an egoistic disposition. "Sorry, beg your pardon," Sahlins concludes, Western society has been built on a perverse and mistaken idea of human nature.＜/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。

【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！】Interface: Mechanism of Spirit in Osteopathy【電子書籍】[ R. Paul Lee, DO ]

＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞Interface: Mechanisms of Spirit in Osteopathy＜/em＞ begins with an exploration of the philosophy of Osteopathy and proceeds to synthesize current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit. With this knowledge, one can find a model of wellness and a means of guiding a return of structure and function towards health.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Osteopathy derives from a philosophy that was born in the mind of A T Still in 1874 which has shown itself to have the power and potency to penetrate and spur therapeutic thought in perpetuity. Still's Osteopathy begins with the premise that body, mind, and spirit are inseparable and, when in order, summon self-healing--the pivotal point for Osteopathic treatment that Still championed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book illuminates the sources of Still's principles and practice: industrial breakthroughs, popular philosophy, spiritual traditions, as well as personal insight, perception and extensive anatomic investigation. It then synthesizes current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit ? a model of wellness and a means of guiding a return of structure and function towards health. This model emanates from the ideas of William Sutherland, an important student of Still who contributed the Cranial Concept, an unveiling of palpable evidence for self-healing. ＜strong＞Those with a penchant for perceiving and practicing both celestial and terrestrial principles of healing will enjoy and benefit from this book.＜/strong＞＜/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。

【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！】Broken Money Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better【電子書籍】[ Lyn Alden ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of Money＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the reader a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book also takes a distinctively ＜em＞human＜/em＞ look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the modern era, energy abundance and technological enhancements have broadly improved human well-being, but the global monetary system has been slow to keep up. There are over 160 active currencies in the world, each with a local monopoly over its own country, and with little or no acceptance elsewhere. Many of them are rapidly diluted, which continually devalues the savings and the wages of the billions of people who live and work within those jurisdictions. Being born in the "wrong" country makes saving money far harder than it needs to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people and has averaged 13% annualized inflation over the past decade. Egypt cut its currency in half relative to the dollar twice over the past decade, which instantly devalued the savings and wages of its 100 million citizens. Dozens of countries have experienced at least triple-digit year-over-year inflation within the past four decades, including Brazil that outright hyperinflated in the 1990s while it was the fifth most populous country in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Europe and Japan had $18 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds in 2019, right before a wave of inflation wiped their purchasing power away. In 2021, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve dismissed the idea that the sharp rise in the money supply from the pandemic stimulus would lead to price inflation. By 2022, as major inflation emerged, the chairman rapidly changed his outlook and tightened monetary policy so quickly that it led to the failure of some of the largest banks in the country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How did we get to this point? Why isn't our money ＜em＞better＜/em＞ than this in the 21st century? ＜em＞Broken Money＜/em＞ answers these questions by examining the current mix of technology that has led to these limitations, and then explores emerging technologies that may be able to provide us with a monetary system that is fit for the modern era.＜/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。

She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for yearsーshe hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's planーwhich makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s ＜em＞The Wedding People＜/em＞ is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imaginedーand the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.＜/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。

【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！】Aircraft Carrier Victorious Detailed in the Original Builders' Plans【電子書籍】[ David Hobbs ]

＜p＞The technical details of British warships were recorded in a set of plans produced by the builders on completion of every ship. Known as the as fitted general arrangements, these drawings represented the exact appearance and fitting of the ship as it entered service. Intended to provide a permanent reference for the Admiralty and the dockyards, these highly detailed plans were drawn with exquisite skill in multi-coloured inks and washes that represent the acme of the draughtsmans art.Today they form part of the incomparable collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, which is using the latest scanning technology to make digital copies of the highest quality. This book is one of a series based entirely on these draughts which depict famous warships in an unprecedented degree of detail complete sets in full colour, with many close-ups and enlargements that make every aspect clear and comprehensible. Extensive captions point the reader to important features to be found in the plans, and an introduction covers the background to the design.HMS Victorious was a ship with two almost separate incarnations as built in 1941 she was one of a new type of armoured carrier which saw strenuous wartime service; post-war the ship underwent a massive reconstruction lasting nearly eight years that saw her recommission in1958 as one of the best equipped carriers in the world, ready for another decade of duty. Both these phases of the ships life are fully documented, which allows this novel form of anatomy to cover two generations of carrier design.＜/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。
