＜p＞I fell in love once.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We had known each other since we were in diapers. He was the well-heeled prep school darling, and I was the scholarship kid. He was the athlete, focused on sports and not much else, while I was the studious nerd, focused on getting grades good enough to secure a scholarship to a university.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While my foster mom cleaned his family's home, Jamison Parsons and I spent hours after school with our heads together at their dining room table while I tutored him.

【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！】Real Forgiveness【電子書籍】[ Luke Russell ]

＜p＞Victims of wrongdoing are often advised not to harbour resentment or seek revenge. Instead, they are encouraged to forgive and move on. Forgiveness is described as a generous gift that heals the rifts created by wrongdoing. It is the path to happiness, the way to escape bitter cycles of revenge and retribution. Yet in some situations it seems that it would be unwise, even dangerous, to forgive. We might worry that victims who forgive unrepentant perpetrators are letting them off the hook and facilitating further wrongdoing. These moral disputes about when we ought to forgive are complicated by the fact that it is unclear exactly what we are talking about when we use the word 'forgiveness'. The supposed experts make wildly divergent claims about what forgiveness is supposed to be. Some say that forgiveness is purely an emotional change in which the victim's anger and resentment are replaced with goodwill. Others say that forgiveness is primarily a behavioural change in which the victim withholds any further blame and punishment. Still others think that forgiving is actually a mental commitment, or even that it is a performative speech act similar to making a promise or cancelling a debt. In Real Forgiveness, Luke Russell identifies the underlying tensions in our thinking about forgiveness, and shows how these tensions have led to mass confusion. Many of us assume that forgiveness is permissible whenever it is possible, and that forgiveness is available to every victim, and that forgiveness results in peace. But forgiveness cannot be all of these things simultaneously, so we must decide which one of these assumptions we will reject. Russell argues that real forgiveness is powerful and appealing precisely because it removes conflict between victims and wrongdoers. Yet sometimes victims ought to remain in conflict with wrongdoers in order to protect themselves and other vulnerable members of the community, so sometimes is it morally wrong to forgive.＜/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！】Rethinking Criminal Justice Punishment, Abolition and Moral Psychology【電子書籍】[ Alan Norrie ]

＜p＞For 200 years, the penal equation 'crime plus blame equals punishment' has meant prison crises, a permanent crime problem, violent and damaged lives. The retributive theory of punishment supports this; fully developed, it could transform it. A moral psychology of violation distinguishes primitive and mature retributivism, explaining punishment's necessary failure and guilt, forgiveness and reconciliation's power. 'Atonement' means both punitive 'payback' and being 'at one' again with self and others. Reconciliation for offender, victim and society leads to punishment's deep, tendential abolition. Intellectually innovative and bold, Alan Norrie's mature retributivism is rooted in human ontology, in the metaphysical animal that thinks and loves. Speaking to law, philosophy, criminology and criminal justice, his moral psychology considers victims who victimise, grief at violation, denial and mourning and the loving prison. Exploring ethics, psychoanalysis, social theory, testimony and film, his psychologically developed moral philosophy challenges basic assumptions about punishment and the penal equation.＜/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。

＜p＞What happens when the one soul that feels most destined to be in your life suddenly vanishesーphysically, emotionally, or energetically? ＜em＞The Divine Distance＜/em＞ explores the painful paradox of twin flame separation: a deep spiritual bond that awakens your soul while simultaneously breaking your heart.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book offers a grounded yet soulful exploration of why your twin flame may withdraw, and why that absence triggers such profound confusion, grief, and longing. With a gentle and reflective tone, it walks you through the abandonment wound often activated in these intense connections, bringing clarity to emotions that may feel chaotic and overwhelming.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Structured around key themes of inner child healing, karmic patterns, spiritual detachment, and emotional alchemy, the book helps readers understand that the pain of separation is not punishmentーit's initiation. You'll uncover how your twin flame mirrors your most buried wounds, especially the ones you've carried since childhood or inherited through ancestral and past-life ties. Through this mirror, the connection becomes not just about love, but transformation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This volume addresses the illusion of spiritual entitlementーthe belief that being "meant to be" guarantees physical union. It unpacks how attachment and expectations can distort the purity of soul connections, and how to shift from needing someone to complete you, to reconnecting with the divine essence within.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You'll explore the role of the "runner," not from blame or victimhood, but through psychological and spiritual insight. Why do they leave? What are they truly afraid of? And most importantlyーhow can you stop making their actions a reflection of your worth?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each chapter provides tools for deep inner workーmeditations, journaling prompts, rituals, and reflectionsーto help you stay in the connection without suffering. Rather than offering false hope for reunion, this book encourages a sacred return to self, revealing that the soul never truly separatesーonly the ego feels distance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Divine Distance＜/em＞ is for those navigating the sacred ache of spiritual separation. It's a guide for turning heartbreak into healing, obsession into presence, and longing into self-love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Topics Covered Include:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Emotional withdrawal in twin flame dynamics＜/li＞ ＜li＞The abandonment wound and inner child trauma＜/li＞ ＜li＞Soul contracts and karmic lessons＜/li＞ ＜li＞Energetic detachment and spiritual boundaries＜/li＞ ＜li＞The psychology of twin flame "runners"＜/li＞ ＜li＞Transforming pain into power through spiritual alchemy＜/li＞ ＜li＞Reclaiming your mission beyond union＜/li＞ ＜li＞Letting go without closing your heart＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞This book does not promise reunion.

＜p＞＜strong＞Trial by Trust＜/strong＞ is a raw and unapologetic memoir that tears open the stitched-up silence around coercive control, cultural oppression, and the twisted expectations placed on women in tightly wound religious communities. From a childhood marked by violence and guilt-tripping disguised as tradition, I was groomed to serve others before ever understanding myself. I was told what to wear, who to love, how to actーand most dangerously, who I was allowed to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But I broke away.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This story traces my journey through stolen girlhood, forbidden love, family betrayals, religious condemnation, and domestic violence that threatened to erase me. At fifteen, I ran away with a man almost twenty years olderーmy sister’s husbandーchasing a love that felt more real than anything I’d ever known. What followed was years of punishment, judgment, loss, and endurance. The family courts. The community whispers. The cold grip of survival.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And yet, ＜em＞Trial by Trust＜/em＞ isn’t just about breaking down. It’s about the slow, fiery resurrection that comes after. It’s about what happens when a woman has nothing left to lose and decides to rise anyway. I became a mother, fought for my sanity, fought for my children, and started rebuilding my life on my own terms. This isn’t a sob story. It’s a story of reclaiming breath, voice, body, and selfーpiece by aching piece.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every chapter in this memoir burns with the need for changeーfor freedom from systems that blame the victim, that shame female desire, that excuse male violence. I wrote this because I know I’m not alone. I wrote this for the women still in the fire, still silenced, still told to stay small.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Trial by Trust＜/em＞ is my reckoning.

古本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Lost Nation - Jeffrey Lent (Grove Press) 【紙書籍】 9780802139856

タイトル: Lost Nation著者: Jeffrey Lent出版社: Grove Press出版日: 2003年03月10日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Lost Nation delves beneath the bright, promising veneer of early-nineteenth-century New England to unveil a startling parable of individualism and nationhood. The novel opens with a man known as Blood, guiding an oxcart of rum toward the wild country of New Hampshire, an ungoverned territory called the Indian Stream -- a land where the luckless or outlawed have made a fresh start. Blood is a man of contradictions, of learning and wisdom, but also a man with a secret past that has scorched his soul. He sets forth to establish himself as a trader, hauling with him Sally, a sixteen-year-old girl won from the madam of a brothel over a game of cards. Their arrival in the Indian Stream triggers an escalating series of clashes that serves to sever the master/servant bond between them, and offers both a second chance with life. But as the conflicts within the community spill over and attract the attention of outside authorities, Blood becomes a target to those seeking easy blame for their troubles. As plots unravel and violence escalates, two young men of uncertain identity appear, and Blood is forced to confront dreaded apparitions of his past, while Sally is offered a final escape.

【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！】Beta Male Rebellion: Why Men Should Stop Playing a Rigged Game【電子書籍】[ J.D. Locke ]

＜p＞In Beta Male Rebellion, J.D. Locke delivers a provocative yet rigorously researched dissection of why modern relationships increasingly leave average men feeling invisible, disposable, and disillusioned. Drawing from evolutionary psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, this book argues that the traditional male bargainーprovision and protection in exchange for loyaltyーhas been dismantled by feminism, digital culture, and shifting economic realities. What remains is a mating economy where women wield disproportionate power, dating apps commodify human connection, and men are left scrambling for scraps of approval.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Locke reframes male loneliness not as personal failure but as systemic exploitation, tracing the biological instincts that once ensured survival to their modern-day collision with hypergamy, transactional relationships, and the erosion of masculine purpose. Through empirical research and case studies, he reveals how ancestral algorithmsーevolved preferences for dominance, status, and resource acquisitionーstill govern attraction today, even as cultural narratives insist otherwise. The result is a stark mismatch: men trained to give endlessly, women conditioned to take without reciprocating, and a society that labels male self-respect as "toxic."＜/p＞ ＜p＞But Beta Male Rebellion is not a lamentーit is a manifesto. Locke equips readers with actionable strategies to reclaim agency, from weaponizing neuroplasticity to rewire insecurity, to deploying strategic abundance as armor against romantic exploitation. He advocates for a new masculine ethos rooted in dominance, earned security, and brotherhood, urging men to abandon the "nice guy" script and embrace unapologetic self-respect. Whether you're a man who's been ghosted, cheated on, or discardedーor someone seeking to understand the forces shaping modern intimacyーthis book challenges you to stop playing a rigged game and start writing your own rules.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Backed by decades of cross-disciplinary research and written for a generation of men navigating emotional bankruptcy, Beta Male Rebellion is a rallying cry for those ready to transform resentment into resilience, weakness into dominance, and isolation into unshakable purpose. This is not about blameーit's about strategy. The future of masculinity begins here.＜/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！】Feminization and Stigmatization of Infertility in Malawi【電子書籍】[ Julianne Boetumelo Nyasulu ]

＜p＞The World Health Organization defines infertility as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular and unprotected sex (WHO, 1975). Despite research that has shown that 50 per cent of infertility cases can be attributed to the male partner, in many societies the blame is cast on the woman, her voice silenced, and any action taken by the man deemed justifiable. Infertility affects millions of people across Sub-Saharan Africa, and in a socio-cultural context where children are valued as a source of wealth for the family, perceived infertility can result in neglect, abuse, marital instability, banishment, discrimination and social stigma (Barden-O’Fallon, 2005). The topic of infertility is often considered to be a taboo subject, with women being accused of witchcraft, prior abortions or prostitution. Malawi is a small country in Central-East Africa, bordered by Tanzania and Mozambique, with a population of 18 million, 85 percent of which resides in rural areas. Similarly to other countries in the region, fertility is highly desired and valued. Malawi’s total fertility rate (TFR) has declined over the years, but still sits relatively high, at 5.49 children per woman as of 2017 (Index Mundi, 2018). In demographic discourse, this declining fertility rate is often celebrated as a sign of the country moving towards a more industrialized economic system. However, this rhetoric on demographic transition invisibilizes the social and psychological consequences of infertility, experienced in varying contexts. This thesis will examine the social stigmatization and feminization of infertility in Malawi, and specifically how stigma is understood and managed in the context of socio-cultural perceptions of infertility, within the local ecology of Malawi, as well as its effect on lived experiences and gender identities. Data was collected from four participant groups ? infertile women, religious leaders, health workers, and community members through interviews, discussion groups, and informal conversation. The empirical findings demonstrate that infertility does not exist solely as a biological or physiological condition, requiring a biomedical approach, but rather encompasses emotional, social, cultural, religious and economic spheres. As such, the approach to infertility response must also include these spheres, focusing not only on preventive measures but also addressing stigma, patriarchal structures, gender inequality, poverty, and sexual and reproductive health knowledge. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master’s dissertations.＜/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！】Civil Wars A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Monica Duffy Toft ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Civil wars are nasty, brutish, and long. Monica Duffy Toft introduces this complex and timely topic.＜/strong＞ Civil wars are the most common form of large-scale political violence. In the past thirty years, the study of civil wars has been one of the largest growing segments of the international relations field. Their causes are complex, ranging from fights over access to housing, jobs, and arable land or other resources, to political contests over offices, rights, and representation. Because civil wars tend to drag on, motives and relevant actors shift. Groups form, collapse, coalesce, align and realign, and then fight amongst themselves. Governments themselves change through elections, coups, military defeats, or revolutions. Understanding the origins of civil wars and their trajectories therefore demands some appreciation of the economic, political, social, cultural, and geographic order of societies. If there is one factor that best predicts why a civil war erupts, it is a prior civil war. That is why knowledge of a country's history of political violence, and associated narratives about who is to blame and why, are critical to understanding where a civil war might next occur. Do insurgents deserve the title of freedom fighters or are they simply criminals or terrorists? If contested resources can be readily divided, how is it that seemingly rational actors so often treat them as indivisible? What is it about identity, or identities, that seem so irreconcilable that they so often lead to an escalation to violence--including violence against noncombatants--and the collapse of governments? Theories about the causes, the nature, and the termination of civil wars have been adapted from both the international relations and comparative politics disciplines, and there are now many databases, cataloguing hundreds of cases of civil war, that enable sophisticated statistical analysis and formal modeling. As a result, we now have a better understanding of the conditions under which civil wars generally emerge, how the fighting evolves (sometimes involving interventions by external actors), and how civil wars end. However, historical understanding--the human dimensions--remain every bit as critical. This ＜em＞Very Short Introduction＜/em＞ explores current debates on civil wars and how the reasons for fighting (and the nature of belligerents themselves) are changing.＜/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！】Success Requires No Explanation, Failure Permits No Alibis【電子書籍】[ ALEXANDRA ELLA ]

＜p＞We live in a time where comfort is currency. People glorify struggle stories but flinch at responsibility. We are encouraged to "be kind to ourselves," which often becomes code for tolerating mediocrity. But I'm not here to hand you comfort. I'm here to hand you clarity. Because successーreal successーisn't about proving your worth to the world. It's about mastering yourself to such a degree that you no longer need to explain your worth at all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Success is quiet. It walks into a room and needs no introduction. It doesn't wave flags or demand applause. It shows up in your habits, your work, your energy. When you are excellent, the results will speak on your behalf. No press release necessary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But failure? That's where the noise comes in. When things fall apart, we reach for alibis. We point fingers, we blame timing, our upbringing, the system, the people who didn't believe in us. Anything to protect the fragile parts of our ego that can't yet face the truth: we could have done more. We knew better at some point but chose the easier path. And that truth? That uncomfortable, sobering truth is the exact place where transformation begins.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book isn't a soft hug. It's a wake-up call. It's not here to soothe you into stagnation but to call out the version of you that's hiding behind potential and tell it to stand up and act. If you're waiting for someone to come save you, stop. No one's coming. Not because you're unworthy, but because you're already equipped to do it yourself. And you've always been.＜/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。

新しい本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書Sugar Rush: Science, Politics and the Demonisation of Fatness - Karen Throsby (Manchester University Press) 【紙書籍】 9781526151551

タイトル: Sugar Rush: Science, Politics and the Demonisation of Fatness著者: Karen Throsby出版社: Manchester University Press出版日: 2023年06月20日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。In the second decade of the twenty-first century, the crusade against sugar rose to prominence as an urgent societal problem about which something needed to be done. Sugar was transformed into the common enemy in a revived 'war on obesity' levelled at 'unhealthy' foods and the people who enjoy them. Are the evils of sugar based on purely scientific fact, or are other forces at play? Sugar rush explores the social life of sugar in its rise to infamy. The book reveals how competing understandings of the 'problem' of sugar are smoothed over through appeals to science and the demonization of fatness, with politics and popular culture preying on our anxieties about what we eat. Drawing on journalism, government policy, public health campaigns, self-help books, autobiographies and documentaries, the book argues that this rush to blame sugar is a phenomenon of its time, finding fertile ground in the era of austerity and its attendant inequalities. Inviting readers to resist the comforting certainties of the attack on sugar, Sugar rush shows how this actually represents a politics of despair, entrenching rather than disrupting the inequality-riddled status quo.
