Lost and found : recovering regional identity in imperial Japan
\"Offers a new understanding of modern Japanese regionalism by revealing the volatile historical relationship between region and nation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Aizu becomes a case study for how one locale was estranged from nationhood for its treasonous blunder in the Meiji Restoration, yet eventually found a useful place within the imperial landscape\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Tragic Vision of Politics
Is it possible to preserve national security through ethical policies? Richard Ned Lebow seeks to show that ethics are actually essential to the national interest. Recapturing the wisdom of classical realism through a close reading of the texts of Thucydides, Clausewitz and Hans Morgenthau, Lebow argues that, unlike many modern realists, classic realists saw close links between domestic and international politics, and between interests and ethics. Lebow uses this analysis to offer a powerful critique of post-Cold War American foreign policy. He also develops an ontological foundation for ethics and makes the case for an alternate ontology for social science based on Greek tragedy's understanding of life and politics. This is a topical and accessible book, written by a leading scholar in the field.

Savage Exchange
Savage Exchange explores the politics of representation during the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) at a pivotal moment when China was asserting imperialist power on the Eurasian continent and expanding its local and long-distance (\"Silk Road\") markets. Tamara T. Chin explains why rival political groups introduced new literary forms with which to represent these expanded markets. To promote a radically quantitative approach to the market, some thinkers developed innovative forms of fiction and genre. In opposition, traditionalists reasserted the authority of classical texts and advocated a return to the historical, ethics-centered, marriage-based, agricultural economy that these texts described. The discussion of frontiers and markets thus became part of a larger debate over the relationship between the world and the written word. These Han debates helped to shape the ways in which we now define and appreciate early Chinese literature and produced the foundational texts of Chinese economic thought. Each chapter in the book examines a key genre or symbolic practice (philosophy, fu-rhapsody, historiography, money, kinship) through which different groups sought to reshape the political economy. By juxtaposing well-known texts with recently excavated literary and visual materials, Chin elaborates a new literary and cultural approach to Chinese economic thought.

الفيلسوف هان فيزي
هذا الكتاب من \"سلسلة الحكماء يتكلمون\" يتحدث عن الفيلسوف \"هان فيزي\" : كان هان فيزي فيلسوفا صينيا عظيما أسس السلطة التشريعية في نهاية حقبة الولايات المتحاربة (221-475 قبل الميلاد) وحتى حقبة ما قبل الكين. هو سليل عائلة أرستقراطية ملكية في الولاية، وقد كان مهتما على الدوام بدراسة تقنيات التشريع والقانون، وقد استوعب أيضا أفكارا من المدرسة الكونفوشوسية، والطاوية، والموزية، والتشريعية لتأسيس إيديولوجيته الكاملة عن التشريع. وبالرغم من أن هان فيزي كان يعاني بعض المشاكل في النطق والتأتأة، إلا أنه كان لماحا وذا بصيرة في كتاباته. لقد رأى هان فيزي انحدار ولاية هان، وحاول في مناسبات عدة أن يكتب إلى الملك لطرح سياسات مختلفة، ولكن الملك لم يأخذ بنصيحته. لقد رأى هان هذا الانحدار في ذلك المجتمع الفوضوي، فقد تحدى الفلاسفة القوانين عبر أعمالهم كما وعارضها الفرسان وتحدوها، أما هان المستاء فقد دفن نفسه في كتابة كتب مثل السخط الانفرادي (غو فين)، والطفيليات الخمس (وو دو)، واحتياطات داخل القصر (ني واي تشو) ومصاعب الإقناع (تشاي نان) وغيرها. لقد ألف في مسيرة حياته العديد من الكتب التي تم جمعها في كتاب واحد بعنوان هان فيزي.

Embodied COsub.2 Reduction Effects of Free-Form Concrete Panel Production Using Rod-Type Molds with 3D Plastering Technique
When using concrete to produce exterior finishing panels of free-form building structures, different panel shapes make it difficult to reuse the forms. This results in increased formwork cost as well as a significant amount of embodied CO[sub.2] (ECO[sub.2]) generation. Through years of research, we have developed a free-form panel (FCP) production technique engaging the 3D plastering technique (3DPT) without using conventional plywood forms. When 3DPT becomes available for free-form building projects, a great deal of ECO[sub.2] reduction effects is expected in addition to reduced time and cost in FCP production. The purpose of this study is to prove this by analyzing ECO[sub.2] reduction effects achieved through sustainable FCP production using 3DPT. The study involved project case selection, calculation of resources consumed for conventional plywood forms, and analysis of the reduction effects. As a result, it was demonstrated from the case project that 1196 tons of CO[sub.2] were reduced using 3DPT, accounting for approximately 99% of the amount produced from conventional plywood forms (CPF). The study findings will be used as a basic reference for sustainable production of FCPs ensuring speed and precision in production as well as innovative ECO[sub.2] reduction effects.

God Interrupted
Could the best thing about religion be the heresies it spawns? Leading intellectuals in interwar Europe thought so. They believed that they lived in a world made derelict by God's absence and the interruption of his call. In response, they helped resurrect gnosticism and pantheism, the two most potent challenges to the monotheistic tradition. InGod Interrupted, Benjamin Lazier tracks the ensuing debates about the divine across confessions and disciplines. He also traces the surprising afterlives of these debates in postwar arguments about the environment, neoconservative politics, and heretical forms of Jewish identity. In lively, elegant prose, the book reorients the intellectual history of the era.
God Interruptedalso provides novel accounts of three German-Jewish thinkers whose ideas, seminal to fields typically regarded as wildly unrelated, had common origins in debates about heresy between the wars. Hans Jonas developed a philosophy of biology that inspired European Greens and bioethicists the world over. Leo Strauss became one of the most important and controversial political theorists of the twentieth century. Gershom Scholem, the eminent scholar of religion, radically recast what it means to be a Jew. Together they help us see how talk about God was adapted for talk about nature, politics, technology, and art. They alert us to the abiding salience of the divine to Europeans between the wars and beyond--even among those for whom God was long missing or dead.
