【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！】Through the Brazilian Wilderness The Classic Travelogue【電子書籍】[ Theodore Roosevelt ]

＜p＞"Roosevelt has been able to add one more excellent volume to a list which is already a praiseworthy record." ー The New York Times"An exceedingly fascinating story of adventure. It is the best story ... that the many-sided former president of the United States has produced." ー The Boston TranscriptHere is the tale of the famed conservationist and outdoorsman's last great adventure, recounted in his own words. In a narrative that crackles with energy and enthusiasm, Theodore Roosevelt tells of the challenges and perils he and his companions faced during a 1913?14 expedition to a remote area of the Brazilian Amazon basin. Roosevelt, his son Kermit, and their crew set out to chart the nearly 1,000-mile long "River of Doubt," in addition to collecting thousands of plant and animal specimens.Written with the expertise and zest of a seasoned naturalist, Roosevelt's account combines the thrill of scientific exploration with the suspense of harrowing dangers. Stalked by cannibals and menaced by wild animals, the crew was in constant jeopardy of drowning in the turbulent rapids. Overwhelming heat, food shortages, and a plague of insects hampered their progress, in addition to Roosevelt's affliction with a life-threatening tropical fever. This real-life drama of courage and discovery will captivate historians and Roosevelt fans as well as modern-day explorers and lovers of adventure.＜/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！】British Warship Recognition: The Perkins Identification Albums Volume III: Cruisers 1865-1939, Part 1【電子書籍】[ Richard Perkins ]

＜p＞The Richard Perkins warship identification albums form one of the most detailed studies ever undertaken of the changes to the appearance of Royal Navy ships. However, it is a unique hand-drawn manuscript artifact in the care of the National Maritime Museum, so despite its value it is rarely seen by anyone besides the museum's curators, for whom it is a precious resource, used on an almost daily basis. In collaboration with the Museum, Seaforth is undertaking the first publication of this monumental work in a superbly produced multi-volume edition that captures all the qualities of the original. Every page is reproduced at full size, making the extensive handwritten annotation readable, while the fine-line drawings retain all the colors that Perkins used to denote appearance differences and alterations. Following the Museum's binding arrangement, the third volume of the series is the first half of the coverage of all cruisers from the Amazon class corvettes of 1865 to the Belfast class of 1939; the second half constitutes Volume IV. Highlights of this first part include armored cruisers, the so-called large light cruisers, and the cruisers of the inter-war period. This is a publishing event of the utmost importance for every enthusiast and ship modeler, who for the first time will be able to own a copy of a unique and invaluable reference work.＜/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 Golden Age The Spanish Empire of Charles V【電子書籍】[ Hugh Thomas ]

＜p＞Charles V, Emperor of Europe and the New World, is the central figure in the second volume of Hugh Thomas's great history of the Spanish Empire. It begins with the return of the remnants of Magellan's expedition around the world in 1522 and ends with Charles's death in 1558. In the decades between, the Spaniards conquer Guatemala, Yucatan, Columbia, Venezuela, Peru and Chile, and control the banks of the mighty River Plate; the audacious conquistador Francisco de Orellana journeys down the Amazon, Cabeza de Vaca walks from Florida to Mexico, Juan Vazquez Coronado pioneers into New Mexico and Hernando de Soto vainly pursues worldly riches in Florida, Mississippi and Georgia.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hugh Thomas writes vividly, conveying the conquerors' almost disbelieving sense of what they were achieving. The discovery and subjugation of so many native peoples raised enormous controversy within Spain about how they should be treated, a debate Thomas explores perceptively, with an eye for resonances have lasted centuries. Hugh Thomas brings alive one of the most extraordinary and influential moments in High Renaissance and world history.＜/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！】World Without Mind The Existential Threat of Big Tech【電子書籍】[ Franklin Foer ]

＜p＞**A ＜em＞New York Times Book Review＜/em＞ Notable Book of 2017 *?*One of the best books of the year by ＜em＞The New York Times,＜/em＞ ＜em＞LA Times＜/em＞, and NPR＜/p＞ ＜p＞Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the past few decades there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon; socialize on Facebook; turn to Apple for entertainment; and rely on Google for information. These firms sell their efficiency and purport to make the world a better place, but what they have done instead is to enable an intoxicating level of daily convenience. As these companies have expanded, marketing themselves as champions of individuality and pluralism, their algorithms have pressed us into conformity and laid waste to privacy. They have produced an unstable and narrow culture of misinformation, and put us on a path to a world without private contemplation, autonomous thought, or solitary introspectionーa world without mind. In order to restore our inner lives, we must avoid being coopted by these gigantic companies, and understand the ideas that underpin their success.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elegantly tracing the intellectual history of computer scienceーfrom Descartes and the enlightenment to Alan Turing to Stewart Brand and the hippie origins of today's Silicon ValleyーFoer exposes the dark underpinnings of our most idealistic dreams for technology. The corporate ambitions of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, he argues, are trampling longstanding liberal values, especially intellectual property and privacy. This is a nascent stage in the total automation and homogenization of social, political, and intellectual life. By reclaiming our private authority over how we intellectually engage with the world, we have the power to stem the tide.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At stake is nothing less than who we are, and what we will become. There have been monopolists in the past but today's corporate giants have far more nefarious aims. They’re monopolists who want access to every facet of our identities and influence over every corner of our decision-making. Until now few have grasped the sheer scale of the threat. Foer explains not just the looming existential crisis but the imperative of resistance.＜/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！】Intellectual Property A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ Siva Vaidhyanathan ]

＜p＞We all create intellectual property. We all use intellectual property. Intellectual property is the most pervasive yet least understood way we regulate expression. Despite its importance to so many aspects of the global economy and daily life, intellectual property policy remains a confusing and arcane subject. This engaging book clarifies both the basic terms and the major conflicts surrounding these fascinating areas of law, offering a layman's introduction to copyright, patents, trademarks, and other forms of knowledge falling under the purview of intellectual property rights. Using vivid examples, noted media expert Siva Vaidhyanathan illustrates the powers and limits of intellectual property, distilling with grace and wit the complex tangle of laws, policies, and values governing the dissemination of ideas, expressions, inventions, creativity, and data collection in the modern world. Vaidhyanathan explains that intellectual property exists as it does because powerful interests want it to exist. The strongest economies in the world have a keen interest in embedding rigid methods of control and enforcement over emerging economies to preserve the huge economic interests linked to their copyright industries-film, music, software, and publishing. For this reason, the fight over the global standardization of intellectual property has become one of the most important sites of tension in North-South global relations. Through compelling case studies, including those of Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Sony, Amazon, and Google Books, Vaidhyanathan shows that the modern intellectual property systems reflect three centuries of changes in politics, economics, technologies, and social values.

＜p＞＜strong＞Henry A. Wallace Award, The Agricultural History Society, 2018＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brazil has the second-largest cattle herd in the world and is a major exporter of beef. While ranching in the Amazonーand its destructive environmental consequencesーreceives attention from both the media and scholars, the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul actually host the most cattle. A significant beef producer in Brazil beginning in the late nineteenth century, the region served as a laboratory for raising cattle in the tropics, where temperate zone ranching practices do not work. Mato Grosso ranchers and cowboys transformed ranching’s relationship with the environment, including the introduction of an exotic cattle breedーthe Zebuーthat now dominates Latin American tropical ranching.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Cattle in the Backlands＜/em＞ presents a comprehensive history of ranching in Mato Grosso. Using extensive primary sources, Robert W. Wilcox explores three key aspects: the economic transformation of a remote frontier region through modern technical inputs; the resulting social changes, especially in labor structures and land tenure; and environmental factors, including the long-term impact of ranching on ecosystems, which, he contends, was not as detrimental as might be assumed. Wilcox demonstrates that ranching practices in Mato Grosso set the parameters for tropical beef production in Brazil and throughout Latin America. As the region was incorporated into national and international economic structures, its ranching industry experienced the entry of foreign investment, the introduction of capitalized processing facilities, and nascent discussions of ecological impactsーdevelopments that later affected many sectors of the Brazilian economy.＜/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 Final Mission of Extortion 17 Special Ops, Helicopter Support, SEAL Team Six, and the Deadliest Day of the U.S. War in Afghanistan【電子書籍】[ Ed Darack ]

＜p＞On August 6, 2011, a U.S. Army CH-47D Chinook helicopter approached a landing zone in Afghanistan 40 miles southwest of Kabul. The helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was on a mission to reinforce American and coalition special operations troops. It would never return. Insurgents fired at the Chinook, severed one of its rear rotor blades, and brought it crashing to the ground. All 38 onboard perished instantly in the single greatest moment of sacrifice for Americans in the war in Afghanistan. Those killed were some of the U.S.'s most highly trained and battle-honed commandos, including 15 men from the Gold Squadron of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, known popularly as SEAL Team 6, which had raided a Pakistan compound and killed Osama bin Laden just three months earlier. The downing of Extortion 17 spurred a number of conspiracy theories, such as the idea that the shootdown was revenge for bin Laden's death. In ＜em＞The Final Mission of Extortion 17＜/em＞, Ed Darack debunks this theory and others and uncovers the truth behind this mysterious tragedy. His account of the brave pilots, crew, and passengers of Extortion 17 and the events of that fateful day is interwoven into a rich, complex narrative that also discusses modern joint combat operations, the history of the Afghan war to that date, U.S. helicopter use in Afghanistan, and the new and evolving military technologies and tactics being developed to mitigate such tragedies now and in the future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Amazon Best History Book of the Month - September 2017＜/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！】?mile Durkheims Konzept der sozialen Arbeitsteilung. L?sst sich die ?konomie des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts mit den Begriffen Durkheims erkl?ren?【電子書籍】[ Tim Huyeng ]

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Klassiker und Theorierichtungen, Universit?t Koblenz-Landau (Soziologie und Politikwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Probleme der Wirtschaft sind heute scheinbar un?berwindbar. Die Tageszeitungen berichten vorzugsweise nur noch von Pleiten, Krisen und ungez?gelten Finanzm?rkten. Egal ob Flughafenmitarbeiter, Busfahrer oder Amazon-Angestellte, Streiks sind an der Tagesordnung und die Welt des Arbeiters wird nicht allzu selten von Dumpingl?hnen, erschlagender Eint?nigkeit und dauerhafter Sorge um den Job gepr?gt. 'Burnout' ist die neue Modekrankheit und der einzelne nimmt sich nur noch als kleines R?dchen in einer viel zu gro?en Maschinerie wahr. Firmen werden immer gr??er, aber das Individuum in seiner pers?nlichen Arbeit und 'Strahlkraft' immer kleiner. Eine soziologische Erkl?rung dieser Entwicklung k?nnte aus verschiedenen Perspektiven erfolgen. Doch gerade der Bezug auf einen soziologischen Klassiker scheint hierf?r besonders reizvoll zu sein. ?mile Durkheim (1858-1917) versuchte bereits in seinem Werk von 1893 die Grundlagen der Gesellschaft zu verstehen und ging dabei von der sozialen Arbeitsteilung aus. Seine Arbeitsgrundlage war die Frage: 'Wie geht es zu, dass das Individuum, obgleich es immer autonomer wird, immer mehr von der Gesellschaft abh?ngt?' (Durkheim und Luhmann 2012, S. 82) Das Werk '?ber soziale Arbeitsteilung' bildet die Grundlage f?r Durkheims sp?teres Denken. Auch wenn er sich so gut wie nie wieder explizit auf die Arbeitsteilung bezogen hat, so lassen sich seine Ideen zu dem Wesen des Menschen, der Moral, der Solidarit?t und seiner Religionsauffassung bereits hier erkennen. Ich werde in diesem Aufsatz Durkheims soziale Arbeitsteilung auf die ?konomie des letzten und dieses Jahrhunderts beziehen, um auf der Grundlage eines bedeutenden soziologischen Klassikers eine neue Perspektive auf die Probleme der Wirtschaft zu schaffen. Wie ist also die Wirtschaft des 20. und 21. Jahrhundert mit den Ideen der sozialen Arbeitsteilung nach Emile Durkheim zu verstehen? Leider vers?umte es Durkheim in seinen Werken genauer auf die ?konomischen Aspekte seines Grundgedankens einzugehen. Dies wurde immer wieder kritisiert . Deshalb will ich versuchen eben dies nachzuholen und Durkheims Gedankengang weiter auszuf?hren. Friedmann warnt in diesem Kontext vor 'Verwirrungen'. Diese versuche ich nat?rlich in meinem wissenschaftlichen Bestreben klarzustellen und nicht notd?rftig zu umgehen .＜/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＞No one who reads this book will ever again think of his or her own death in the same way.

He also thinks through some of the more illuminating metaphors: death as the end of the world for me, death as the conclusion of a story, life as ceremony, and life as a tourist visit to earth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author offers no facile consolation, but he identifies the true root of fear of death, and explains how the meaning of death can be reconceived.

Most of these historical events will forever be engrained in the minds of humankind. World War II, the assassination of JFK, the 911 terrorist act, and the resulting War on Terror are just a few of such events many will remember as the ones that changed the course of history. But not all enjoy the notoriety of those mentioned. In this book, there are some important historical events that have been forgotten or remained obscure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Did you know that Genghis Khan had children? Genghis Khan, originally named Temujin, married Borte when he was sixteen though their marriage had been arranged since he was only nine years of age. Temujin and Borte had four children: Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedei, and Tolui. The death of Ogedei Khan greatly affected the course of history. If he lived a little longer, the Mongols could have pushed much further into Europe. Around the time of Ogedei’s demise, Austria was already developing the basic concepts of modern banking and capitalism. If the Mongols invaded Austria, they could have prevented such economic concepts from coming into fruition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Also, have you heard of Percy Lavon Julian? His name is not a popular name among normal folks but those who know what he really means to the field of medicine is surely grateful. Julian is the inventor of steroids.

＜p＞"Everyone who has ever lived continues to exist on the Flipside and if possible, can be asked direct questions." This is the startling premise of "Hacking the Afterlife" which argues it's possible to obtain "new information" from people no longer on the planet. These "afterlife interviews" are conducted via various mediums, with people under deep hypnosis, or with people fully conscious yet able to access and remember details of previous lifetimes. The reports offer practical advice ("afterlife hacks") on how to navigate our lives and improve our planet.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Best selling author of '"Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" (also a film) and "It's a Wonderful Afterlife," (both went to #1 at Amazon kindle) frequent guest on "Coast to Coast," explores the Flipside via mediums and other methods, "interviews" a variety of people who are no longer on the planet. Interviews with someone who claims to be Edgar Cayce "sleeping prophet," three different mediums who claim to be able to speak to Amelia Earhart, "conversations" with Robin Williams, the Artist formerly known as Prince, and a number of people who claim to have known the person known worldwide as the "Alpha and the Omega." The Author explores these accounts with an open mind, and invites the reader to do the same. Quotes for the book from the people who were interviewed:＜/p＞ ＜p＞*"This book will have people questioning their own disbeliefs and belief paradigms. It's a translation of the ethers." Edgar Cayce via medium JenniferShaffer.com＜/p＞ ＜p＞*"Good luck to you for making the unbelievable claim that there even is an afterlife. " Howard Schultz, friend who passed away recently.＜/p＞ ＜p＞*"They should read your book if they want to fly. It makes the reader open up. It's beautiful written music, Rich." The Artist formerly known as Prince Rogers Nelson.＜/p＞ ＜p＞*"Two words; "Love, Love." The key ingredient for happiness is to love the love; love love, and then send it to everything." Robin Williams via Jennifer Shaffer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞* "Lift this book to your soul. And see what your soul has to say. Hearing the words from the book; don't judge it, just listen to your spirit. It will guide you and tell you that the "unthinkable" is real. Laughing is the best medicine. Don't waste time trying to dig up things." Amelia Earhart (who proves in this book that she died in Saipan during the war)＜/p＞ ＜p＞*"More people will be changed by your words than the ones who can't hear what you're saying. It is a challenge frequency that always hurts initally." From the person known as the Alpha and the Omega.＜/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。

You’ll never forget this trip through history, from the store’s pre-Civil War beginnings to its dramatic finale 123 years later, with three devastating floods, an epic fire, and a high-stakes robbery in between. Hundreds of photos, never before gathered in one place, will whisk you back in time to the people and events that made Penn Traffic great...and carry you forward for a special tour of the Penn Traffic building as it stands today, complete with traces and treasures from the store’s glory days.

【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！】Why Beauty Matters. The Transformational Experiences of Art and Music upon the Human Soul【電子書籍】[ Cyrus Manasseh ]

＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Psychology - Media Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University (Art and Design Academy), course: Academic Conference, language: English, abstract: Beauty takes our breath away. We come to rest, are silenced, and in awe. When beauty opens our hearts, our capacity to care for what is just and true enlarges. The triumvirate of western values - truth, beauty, and goodness - has long served as the foundation for positive human development. The experience of beauty takes us deep within ourselves to the most intimate sense of who we are and what we have endured. Beauty is the ultimate attractor and healer. It transcends us by pulling us out of ourselves and generates us to heal, repair, and move forward. Beauty in its many forms has profound neurological and psychological impact upon us. Artistic expression, and flow stimulate the growth of new brain cells in the cerebral cortex. Such experiences raise physiological levels in the immune, the endocrine, and the nervous systems. 'Emotions play out in the theatre of the body. Feelings play out in the theatre of the mind.' As a significant psychologically transcendent experience, this arousal increases well-being, optimism, and resilience. Optimism is directly correlated with improved health. Drama, music, and art have the capacity to build and sustain resilience because creative engagement and participation is directly correlated with an overall positive impact on health, morale, and loneliness. This essays draws on some theoretical perspectives and research as they inform an understanding of the power of beauty and its transformational affect on the human psyche and development.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cyrus Manasseh is a novelist, essayist, philosopher, historian and was a musician before he also took up writing.
