＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞Mary Mapes's Truth＜/em＞ (previously published as ＜em＞Truth & Duty＜/em＞) was made into the 2015 film Truth, starring Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Topher Grace and Elizabeth Moss.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A riveting play-by-play of a reporter getting and defending a story that recalls ＜em＞All the＜/em＞ ＜em＞President's Men＜/em＞, ＜em＞Truth＜/em＞ puts readers in the center of the "60 Minutes II" story on George W. Bush's shirking of his National Guard duty. The firestorm that followed that broadcast--a conflagration that was carefully sparked by the right and fanned by bloggers--trashed Mapes' well-respected twenty-five year producing career, caused newsman Dan Rather to resign from his anchor chair early and led to an unprecedented "internal inquiry" into the story...chaired by former Reagan attorney general Richard Thornburgh.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Truth＜/em＞ examines Bush's political roots as governor of Texas, delves into what is known about his National Guard duty-or lack of service-and sheds light on the solidity of the documents that backed up the National Guard story, even including images of the actual documents in an appendix to the book. It is peopled with a colorful cast of characters-from Karl Rove to Sumner Redstone-and moves from small-town Texas to Black Rock-CBS corporate headquarters-in New York City.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Truth＜/em＞ connects the dots between a corporation under fire from the federal government and the decision about what kinds of stories a news network may cover. It draws a line from reporting in the trenches to the gutting of the great American tradition of a independent media and asks whether it's possible to break important stories on a powerful sitting president.＜/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＞＜strong＞The rollicking true story of a 1930s version of Bernie Madoffーand the building and loan crash he helped precipitateーin a wonderful work of narrative nonfiction by the Gustavus Myers book award winner＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Shortfall＜/em＞ opens with a surprise discovery in an atticーboxes filled with letters and documents hidden for more than seventy yearsーand launches into a fast-paced story that uncovers the dark secrets in Echols's familyーan upside-down version of the building and loan story at the center of Frank Capra's 1946 movie, ＜em＞It's a Wonderful Life＜/em＞. In a narrative filled with colorful characters and profound insights into the American past, ＜em＞Shortfall＜/em＞ is also the essential backstory to more recent financial crises, from the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s and 1990s to the subprime collapse of 2008.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Shortfall＜/em＞ chronicles the collapse of the building and loan industry during the Great Depressionーa story told in microcosm through the firestorm that erupted in one hard-hit American city during the early 1930s. Over a six-month period in 1932, all four of the building and loan associations in Colorado Springs, Colorado, crashed in an awful domino-like fashion, leaving some of the town's citizens destitute. The largest of these associations was owned by author Alice Echols's grandfather, Walter Davis, who absconded with millions of dollars in a case that riveted the national media. This book tells the dramatic story of his rise and shocking fall.＜/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, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書Intemperance - Sonora Jha (HarperVia) 【紙書籍】 9780063440845

タイトル: Intemperance著者: Sonora Jha出版社: HarperVia出版日: 2025年10月14日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。In this follow-up to the critically-acclaimed The Laughter--winner of the Washington State Book Award--a middle-aged woman starts a firestorm when she holds a contest, based on an ancient Indian ritual, in which men must compete to win her affections.A woman who has left two husbands announces she will celebrate her 55th birthday by holding a swayamvar. Drawn from an ancient custom in her Indian culture, this is an event in which suitors line up to compete in a feat of wills and strength to win a beautiful princess's hand in marriage. The woman, a renowned and respected intellectual in an American town who had once declared she was "past such petty matters as love," knows she is now setting herself up for widespread societal ridicule, but her self-esteem and sexual libido are off the charts even as her body withers from disability, fading beauty, and her appetite for cake. To her surprise, a cast of characters shows up to support her call--a wedding planner looking for the next enchanting thing, a disability rights activist making a documentary film, and even, begrudgingly, her own young adult son. The Men's Rights Movement protests her project, angry at her objectification of men. She is waylaid by visitations from goddesses and princesses past, who either try to slap sense into her or cheer her on. She must also reckon with a brutal love story in her ancestry that was endangered by the caste system--a story that placed a generational curse on those in the family who show an intemperance of spirit. As her whole plan spirals into a spectacle, the woman embarks on a journey to decide what feat her suitor must perform to be worthy of her wrinkling hand. What feat will define a newer, better masculinity? What feat will it take for her to trust in the tenderness of love? Intemperance is at once a satirical feminist folktale and a meditation on how we might reach past all sense and still find love.

＜p＞＜strong＞The world doesn't need bullies or bystanders. It needs bridges.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We are living in a cultural firestorm. Truth is under attack, lies are celebrated, and believers are pressured to either cave in silence or explode in rage. On one side is the ditch of reckless boldness-people who thunder with truth but have no love. On the other side is the ditch of passive brokenness-those who weep over sin but never stand against it. Both leave the world more divided than before.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But there is a better way. ＜strong＞Boldness anchored in brokenness.＜/strong＞ Courage wrapped in compassion.

Originally released in 2019, this updated edition revisits that urgent message in light of recent events-including the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk-that have shaken our nation and revealed the cost of standing for truth. Through powerful stories, biblical insight, and their own battle scars from cultural clashes, the Benhams show how you can:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Resist destructive ideas without becoming destructive yourself＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Stand firm in truth while reaching out in love＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Turn conviction into courage and compassion into connection＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Live as a bridge in a culture desperate for hope＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞This is not a time to retreat.

タイトル: To Destroy a City: Strategic Bombing and Its Human Consequences in World War 2著者: Herman Knell出版社: Grand Central Publishing出版日: 2003年03月20日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。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。Herman Knell was nineteen and living in Würtzburg in March of 1945 when hundreds of Allied planes arrived overhead, unleashing a torrent of bombs on the city. Würtzburg's tightly packed medieval housing exploded in a firestorm, killing six thousand people in one night and destroying 92 percent of the city's structures. Despite the fact that Würtzburg had no strategic value, the city emerged from World War II second only to Dresden in material destruction inflicted from the air. The experience led Knell to years of research on the history, development, and effects of the strategy of area bombing.To Destroy a City is the result of the author's long and unrelenting investigation. His analysis of this form of warfare, which reached its zenith during World War II, covers the history and the development of wide-area bombing since 1914, examines its wartime effectiveness and the consequences. But the extra dimension that Knell's book offers is his firsthand experience of the tension, fear, tentative defiance, and, finally, utter catastrophe of being on the receiving end of overwhelming air power. For Americans, who fortunately did not experience bombing during the war, this is essential reading.

＜p＞What if the one who loved you most only wanted your life?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Deadly Affection: Catfishing, Crime, and Betrayal is a bone-chilling anthology where horror, crime, and psychological suspense collide in intimate, unsettling ways. These aren’t love stories, they’re trapdoors. Each tale peels back the glossy veneer of online intimacy to expose how a soft voice and a pretty picture can turn a lonely heart into a disposable mule, how trust becomes contraband, and how “forever” can be the last word you ever read.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every character in these pages makes the same fatal mistake: they believe in someone who never existed. And for that error, they pay in blood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Within these twisted, atmospheric stories, you’ll encounter:＜/p＞ ＜p＞A gardener who tucks “I love you” notes beside concealed parcels, then feels the soil close over his face as the roses drink.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A devout student who slides packages into hymnals, only to learn the service is for him, and the wine isn’t meant for mercy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An apprentice sealed in a furnace room for asking the wrong question, his loyalty reduced to ash before dawn.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A lantern festival that transforms into a firestorm, where a boy’s last wish burns as bright and brief as paper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A lonely driver guided by tender texts down a black road to a waiting swamp, his screen still glowing beneath the water.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Across docks and deserts, empty apartments and abandoned chapels, these stories chart the same ruthless geometry: a message, a meeting, a disappearance. The bait is affection. The hook is need. The line is pulled tight by strangers who never use their real names.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Told in a cinematic, nerve-tightening style, Deadly Affection explores the predators who no longer lurk in alleys they curate profiles. It examines the soft mechanics of manipulation: drip-fed compliments, choreographed coincidences, and promises designed to make you carry the one thing you should never touch. It asks why desperation can look so much like devotion, and why the people we want most are often the ones we should fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you crave psychological horror with a noir heartbeat stories steeped in dread, betrayal, and the slow suffocation of hope this collection will haunt you long after the final page. Fans of modern gothic tension and crime-soaked cautionary tales will find an anthology as addictive as it is devastating.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Read at night if you dare but keep your notifications off. Because in Deadly Affection, every “goodnight,” every filtered smile, every promise of a future is just another lure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Do you trust the one who texts you goodnight?＜/p＞ ＜p＞After this book, you never will again.＜/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Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War - Jeff Sharlet (W. W. Norton & Company) 【紙書籍】 9781324074519

タイトル: Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War著者: Jeff Sharlet出版社: W. W. Norton & Company出版日: 2024年03月05日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。An unmatched guide to the religious dimensions of American politics, Jeff Sharlet journeys into corners of our national psyche where others fear to tread. The Undertow is both inquiry and meditation, an attempt to understand how, over the last decade, reaction has morphed into delusion, social division into distrust, distrust into paranoia, and hatred into fantasies--sometimes realities--of violence.Across the country, men "of God" glorify materialism, a gluttony of the soul, while citing Scripture and preparing for civil war--a firestorm they long for as an absolution and exaltation. Lies, greed, and glorification of war boom through microphones at hipster megachurches that once upon a time might have preached peace and understanding. Political rallies are as aflame with need and giddy expectation as religious revivals. At a conference for incels, lonely single men come together to rage against women. On the Far Right, everything is heightened--love into adulation, fear into vengeance, anger into white-hot rage. Here, in the undertow, our forty-fifth president, a vessel of conspiratorial fears and fantasies, continues to rise to sainthood, and the insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, killed on January 6 at the Capitol, is beatified as a martyr of white womanhood.Framing this dangerous vision, Sharlet remembers and celebrates the courage of those who sing a different song of community, and of an America long dreamt of and yet to be fully born, dedicated to justice and freedom for all.Exploring a geography of grief and uncertainty in the midst of plague and rising fascism, The Undertow is a necessary reckoning with our precarious present that brings to light a decade of American failures as well as a vision for American possibility.

Those who loved Balson's other books like Once We Were Brothers and Karolina's Twins will love this latest entry." --The Huffington PostThe Trust, from Ronald H. Balson, the international bestselling author of Once We Were Brothers, finds private investigator Liam Taggart returning to his childhood home for an uncle's funeral, only to discover his death might not have been natural.When his uncle dies, Liam Taggart reluctantly returns to his childhood home in Northern Ireland for the funeral--a home he left years ago after a bitter confrontation with his family, never to look back. But when he arrives, Liam learns that not only was his uncle shot to death, but that he'd anticipated his own murder: In an astonishing last will and testament, Uncle Fergus has left his entire estate to a secret trust, directing that no distributions be made to any person until the killer is found. Did Fergus know, but refuse to name, his killer? Was this a crime of revenge, a vendetta leftover from Northern Ireland's bloody sectarian war? After all, the Taggarts were deeply involved in the IRA. Or is it possible that the killer is a family member seeking Fergus's estate? Otherwise, why postpone distributions to the heirs? Most menacingly, does the killer now have his sights on other family members? As his investigation draws Liam farther and farther into the past he has abandoned, he realizes he is forced to reopen doors long ago shut and locked. Now, accepting the appointment as sole trustee of the Fergus Taggart Trust, Liam realizes he has stepped into the center of a firestorm.

古本, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 All Shook Up: How Rock 'n' Roll Changed America - Glenn C Altschuler (Oxford University Press) 【紙書籍】 0195139437

タイトル: All Shook Up: How Rock 'n' Roll Changed America著者: Glenn C Altschuler出版社: Oxford University Press出版日: 2003年08月07日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。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。The birth of rock 'n roll ignited a firestorm of controversy--one critic called it "musical riots put to a switchblade beat"--but if it generated much sound and fury, what, if anything, did it signify? As Glenn Altschuler reveals in All Shook Up, the rise of rock 'n roll--and the outraged reception to it--in fact can tell us a lot about the values of the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines of family, sexuality, and race. For instance, the birth of rock coincided with the Civil Rights movement and brought "race music" into many white homes for the first time. Elvis freely credited blacks with originating the music he sang and some of the great early rockers were African American, most notably, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. In addition, rock celebrated romance and sex, rattled the reticent by pushing sexuality into the public arena, and mocked deferred gratification and the obsession with work of men in gray flannel suits. And it delighted in the separate world of the teenager and deepened the divide between the generations, helping teenagers differentiate themselves from others. Altschuler includes vivid biographical sketches of the great rock 'n rollers, including Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly--plus their white-bread doppelgangers such as Pat Boone. Rock 'n roll seemed to be everywhere during the decade, exhilarating, influential, and an outrage to those Americans intent on wishing away all forms of dissent and conflict. As vibrant as the music itself, All Shook Up reveals how rock 'n roll challenged and changed American culture and laid the foundation for the social upheaval of the sixties.
