【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 Pharmacist’s Home Guide: Natural, Over the Counter, and Safe Use【電子書籍】[ Tesfa Bahta, PharmD ]

＜p＞As a pharmacist, I've spent years standing at the crossroads of relief and risk. Whether prescribed, purchased off the shelf, or labeled "natural," medications carry a quiet duality. They can mend a fever, steady a heartbeat, or soothe chronic pain; even familiar remedies harbor shadows. A child's cough syrup might ease breathing but dull alertness; herbal teas can calm nerves yet clash with blood thinners. These nuances live in every home, tucked into bathroom cabinets and kitchen pantries, waiting to be understood. This guide grew from those everyday realities. It's for parents weighing allergy medications before school mornings, caregivers sorting pillboxes at dawn, and anyone staring at a supplement label wondering if this is truly safe. My aim isn't to preach extremes, modern medicine versus nature, but to help you navigate the middle ground. You'll find research-backed insights on antibiotics alongside evidence-based uses for ginger or chamomile because healing isn't about categories. It's about clarity. Yet knowledge has its limits. Let me pause here: these pages can't replace the pharmacist who knows your medical history or the doctor monitoring your child's growth. A neighbor's miracle supplement could strain your liver; a "harmless" painkiller might bleed into a chronic condition. However, you can bring these ideas up with your healthcare provider and get their opinion. Your safety lies in those conversations. To build this resource, I learned on decades of clinical studies, federal health bulletins, and trusted medical databases, the same sources guiding hospital decisions. But I also listened to exhausted parents in midnight pharmacy lines, retirees wary of mixing pills, and teens learning self-care. Wisdom lives there, too, in the friction between textbooks and lived experience. Think of this book as a flashlight, not a map. It won't dictate choices but illuminate paths and ways to question labels, spot red flags, and balance hope with caution. Healing at home isn't just about what you take; it's about seeing the full story behind each dose. Let's explore this complex field together, one careful, informed step at a time＜/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！】11th Seven Stories 7-STORIES, #11【電子書籍】[ Max Nabati ]

＜p＞"11th Seven Stories" by Max Nabati is a gripping anthology of seven cautionary tales that blend thriller elements with cultural exploration, highlighting the shadowy underbelly of Turkey's enchanting landscapes. Drawing from real-world safety concerns for touristsーsuch as scams, violence, and unforeseen dangersーthe collection serves as a fictional mirror to the complexities of travel in a land of ancient wonders and modern perils. Nabati's tense, atmospheric prose immerses readers in Istanbul's bustling bazaars, Antalya's sun-kissed beaches, and Cappadocia's ethereal valleys, where allure masks risk, urging vigilance amid beauty.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The opening story, "The Colour of Blood," follows British backpacker Elena, drawn to Istanbul's vibrant streets during a solo trip. Enchanted by a charming local guide in the Grand Bazaar, she ignores subtle warnings and joins a late-night tea session that spirals into a violent encounter. As blood stains the cobblestones, Elena uncovers a ring of targeted assaults on foreign women, forcing her to navigate corrupt police and hidden alleys to escape, forever changed by the city's dual face of hospitality and hazard.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In "Bar of Shadows," American couple Mark and Lisa celebrate their anniversary in Bodrum's coastal bars, only to fall victim to a classic scam: friendly locals lure them into a dimly lit venue with free drinks, then demand exorbitant payments under threat. As counterfeit alcohol clouds their judgmentーleading to poisoning and robberyーthe pair must outwit their captors, exposing a network of exploitative establishments preying on intoxicated tourists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Border Echoes" shifts to the tense frontiers near Syria, where adventure-seeking journalist Alex ventures too close to restricted zones in Gaziantep. Amid whispers of terrorism, he's arbitrarily detained at a checkpoint, his camera confiscated. In a stark cell, Alex grapples with fear and cultural misunderstandings, relying on a sympathetic guard to reveal smuggling ties, culminating in a harrowing release that questions the thrill of off-limits exploration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The Fake Claim" explores Antalya's resorts through naive tourist Sophie, who suffers gastric illness after a suspicious meal. Encouraged by hotel staff to file a fraudulent insurance claim for compensation, she unwittingly enters a web of organized scams involving doctors and lawyers. As threats escalate to keep her silent, Sophie allies with a fellow victim to dismantle the scheme, blending sun-soaked idylls with bureaucratic betrayal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In "Pocket of Deceit," set in crowded Istanbul markets, elderly Canadian traveler Harold becomes a mark for pickpocketers and muggers in Sultanahmet. Losing his passport and valuables in a orchestrated distraction, he delves into the underworld of street crime, aided by a street-smart vendor. The pursuit reveals ties to larger syndicates, turning his sightseeing into a pulse-pounding quest for justice amid haggling crowds and historic mosques.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Veiled Assault" addresses sexual violence in conservative areas, following solo female hiker Mia in Cappadocia's fairy chimneys. After a group trek turns isolating, she's assaulted in a remote gorge. Drawing on inner resilience and local women's underground network, Mia confronts her attacker and societal silences, transforming trauma into advocacy while navigating cultural norms and police skepticism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The closing "Poisoned Spirit" depicts a group of friends in Izmir sampling local raki, only to ingest methanol-laced fakes from a shady vendor. As illness strikes amid a festival, survivor Jamal uncovers a counterfeit alcohol ring linked to wildfires' economic desperation. Racing against time for antidotes, the tale weaves cultural festivities with deadly deceit, ending in a sobering reflection on trust in exotic indulgences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nabati's 11th septet masterfully fuses suspense with Turkish folklore and landmarks, reminding readers that paradise can harbor pitfalls.＜/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Coma - Pierre Guyotat (Semiotext(e)) 【紙書籍】 9781584350897

タイトル: Coma著者: Pierre Guyotat出版社: Semiotext(e)出版日: 2010年06月04日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。A poetic exploration of trauma and renewal from the last avant-garde visionary of the twentieth century.Long ago, in childhood, when Summer reverberates and feels and throbs all over, it begins to circumscribe my body along with my self, and my body gives it shape in turn: the "joy" of living, of experiencing, of already foreseeing dismembers it, this entire body explodes, neurons rush toward what attracts them, zones of sensation break off almost in blocks that come to rest at the four corners of the landscape, at the four corners of Creation.--from Coma The novelist and playwright Pierre Guyotat has been called the last great avant-garde visionary of the twentieth century, and the near-cult status of his work--because of its extreme linguistic innovation and its provocative violence--has made him one of the most influential of French writers today. He has been hailed as the true literary heir to Lautréamont and Arthur Rimbaud, and his "inhuman" works have been mentioned in the same breath as those by Georges Bataille and Antonin Artaud.Winner of the 2006 prix Décembre, Coma is the deeply moving, vivid portrayal of the artistic and spiritual crisis that wracked Guyotat in the 1980s when he reached the physical limits of his search for a new language, entered a mental clinic, and fell into a coma brought on by self-imposed starvation. A poetic, cruelly lucid account, Coma links Guyotat's illness and loss of subjectivity to a broader concern for the slow, progressive regeneration of humanity. Written in what the author himself has called a "normalized writing," this book visits a lifetime of moments that have in common the force of amazement, brilliance, and a flash of life. Grounded in experiences from the author's childhood and his family's role in the French Resistance, Coma is a tale of initiation that provides an invaluable key to interpreting Guyotat's work, past and future.

College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life.

After years of struggling in the Chicago theater scene, ambitious actress Kira Rascher finally lands the role of a lifetime. The catch? The mercurial Malcolm Mercer is the director and he's known for pushing his performers past their limits--on stage and off. Kira's convinced she can handle Malcolm, but the theater's cofounder, Joanna Cuyler, is another story. Joanna sees Kira as a threat--to her own thwarted artistic ambitions, her twisted relationship with Malcolm, and the shocking secret she's keeping about the upcoming production. But as opening night draws near, Kira and Joanna both come to the realization that Malcolm's dangerous extremes are nothing compared to what they're capable of themselves. An edgy, addictive, and fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deceit, and power suited for fans of the film Black Swan, Temper "revels in its mind games, delivering twist after twist as it races toward a Shakespearian climax. The final page will leave you gasping" (Amy Gentry, author of Last Woman Standing).

Although the "Golden Bear," as he is known by fans, is widely regarded as the best golfer of all time, with a record number of PGA major championships, his life and values show that true legacy lives on through your children, grandchildren, and others we are blessed to call family and friends.For the first time, the public is given the opportunity to see what made Jack Nicklaus an off-course success, includinghow he and his wife, Barbara, fashioned fifty-plus years of marriage, understanding that they both had to give of themselves "at least 95 percent of the time"the importance of having boundaries and limits that everyone in the family agrees onhow Nicklaus taught his son Jack, who worked as his caddie for several years, to value his competitors and treat them as he would hope to be treatedthe need to be connected to what we'll leave behind: our legaciesOne June day, Jack Nicklaus II had just completed his second round in a Palm Beach County Junior Golf Association tournament and was sitting at the scorer's table, signing his scorecard, when somebody told him his dad was on the telephone. He was a little frustrated because he didn't want to be bothered on such an important day, but his dad wanted to know how he had played, so Jack II spent the next twenty minutes detailing every hole and every shot. Afterward, his father said, "Jackie, would you like to know how your dad did today?" Of course he wanted to know, and he felt a little guilty for not asking. "Well, I just won the US Open." It was Father's Day 1980, and on that day Jack II learned a valuable lesson that he carried with him into adulthood: family is more important than anything in the world.

Named one of the year's best books by the New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Bloomberg, Kansas City Star, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Time Out New York. At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended. Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life. As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment -- to oneself and to others. "First novels this complete and consuming come along very, very seldom." --Jonathan Franzen

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom - Ken Ilgunas (New Harvest) 【紙書籍】 9780544028838

タイトル: Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom著者: Ken Ilgunas出版社: New Harvest出版日: 2013年05月14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。In this frank and witty memoir, Ken Ilgunas lays bare the existential terror of graduating from the University of Buffalo with $32,000 of student debt. Ilgunas set himself an ambitious mission: get out of debt as quickly as possible. Inspired by the frugality and philosophy of Henry David Thoreau, Ilgunas undertook a three-year transcontinental journey, working in Alaska as a tour guide, garbage picker, and night cook to pay off his student loans before hitchhiking home to New York. Debt-free, Ilgunas then enrolled in a master's program at Duke University, determined not to borrow against his future again. He used the last of his savings to buy himself a used Econoline van and outfitted it as his new dorm. The van, stationed in a campus parking lot, would be more than an adventure--it would be his very own "Walden on Wheels." Freezing winters, near-discovery by campus police, and the constant challenge of living in a confined space would test Ilgunas's limits and resolve in the two years that followed. What had begun as a simple mission would become an enlightening and life-changing social experiment. Walden on Wheels offers a spirited and pointed perspective on the dilemma faced by those who seek an education but who also want to, as Thoreau wrote, "live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."

タイトル: America the Beautiful?: One Woman in a Borrowed Prius on the Road Most Traveled著者: Blythe Roberson出版社: Harper Perennial出版日: 2023年04月18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。NATIONAL BESTSELLER Best Book of the Year --NPR, Vulture, Book Riot, B&N"America the Beautiful? is so funny and special and illuminating that it makes even me, a person who cannot tolerate trees or weather, wish I could've tagged along in the back seat." -- Samantha Irby, author of Wow, No Thank You. and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.The author of How to Date Men When You Hate Men examines Americans' obsession with freedom, travel, and the open road in this funny, entertaining travelogue that blends the humorous observations of Bill Bryson with the piercing cultural commentary of Jia Tolentino.For writer and comedian Blythe Roberson, there are only so many Mary Oliver poems you can read about being free, and only so many times you can listen to Joni Mitchell's travel album Hejira, before you too, are itching to take off. Canonical American travel writers have long celebrated the road trip as the epitome of freedom. But why does it seem like all those canonical travel narratives are written by white men who have no problems, who only decide to go the desert to see what having problems feels like?To fill in the literary gaps and quench her own sense of adventure, Roberson quits her day job and sets off on a Great American Road Trip to visit America's national parks.America the Beautiful? is a hilarious trip into the mind of one of the Millennial generation's funniest writers. Borrowing her Midwestern stepfather's Prius, she heads west to the Loop of mega-popular parks, over to the ocean and down the Pacific Coast Highway, and, in a feat of spectacularly bad timing, through the southwestern desert in the middle of July. Along the way she meets new friends on their own personal quests, learns to cope with abstinence while missing the comforts of home, and comes to understand the limits--and possibilities--of going to nature to prove to yourself and your Instagram followers that you are, in fact, free.The result is a laugh-out-loud-while-occasionally-raging-inside travelogue, filled with meditations and many, many jokes on ecotourism, conservation, freedom, traffic, climate change, and the structural and financial inequalities that limit so many Americans' movement. Ultimately, Roberson ponders the question: Is quitting society and going on the road about enlightenment and liberty--or is it just selfish escapism?

Perhaps tomorrow I will wake up not a person at all."

Populated by twins stepping into worlds of absence, bears who lick their cubs into creation, and artificial beings haunted by their less-than-human nature, each page sketches a world where our all-too-real feelings of isolation and ecological dread take on an otherworldly tinge. In Good Night, Sleep Tight, Brian Evenson deftly weaves ethical dilemmas, maternal warmth, and echoes of apocalypse into his most tender, disquieting book yet.

タイトル: Masses on Radar著者: David O'Meara出版社: Coach House Books出版日: 2021年09月21日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARCHIBALD LAMPMAN AWARD 2022 FINALIST FOR THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD 2022Words like radio waves, bouncing off the spectres of mortality, middle age, and the mundane. Arriving at middle age was a decisive experience for David O'Meara, standing equidistant to the past and future with its accompanying doubts and anticipations, inviting re-evaluation of past goals, confronting personal loss, and the death of his father and friends. These are the masses on radar, indistinct but detectable existential presences encroaching, and in the center of the radar is the lyric 'I' sweeping its adjacent experience. Poems like "I Carry a Mouse to the Park Beside the Highway," "I Keep One Eye Open and One Eye Closed," and "I Sleep as the Volcano Ash Falls like Snow," usher the reader through thematic corridors of memory, fracture, and recovery. Embracing uncertainty and incorporating seasonal forecasts, humour, trivia, satire, politics, the environment, loss, and the mundane, these poems are a detection system signaling a paradox of meanings."Masses on Radar exhibits a stunning mastery of poetic craft. O'Meara has the talent and technique to turn almost anything into riveting poetry, but these poems do not coast: they dig deep, bringing to vivid life a remarkable array of subjects, experiences, emotions, and interior worlds. These poems summon quotidian encounters, sometimes conferring them with unexpected beauty, sometimes breathing new and sudden problems into them. O'Meara's sparse language lifts the veil on our human failings, the limits of our vision, and in so doing satisfies." - Archibald Lampman Award Judges

新しい本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書Boys Don't Cry - Chase Joynt (McGill-Queen's University Press) 【紙書籍】 9780228010821

タイトル: Boys Don't Cry著者: Chase Joynt出版社: McGill-Queen's University Press出版日: 2022年06月15日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Hailed as groundbreaking upon its original release, the Oscar-winning film Boys Don't Cry offered the first mainstream access to transmasculine embodiment in North America, one that many simultaneously celebrated and rejected. More than two decades after its original release, the film has become a lightning rod for contemporary debates about the representation of trans lives and deaths on screen. Representational possibilities for trans people have changed dramatically since 1999. Morgan Page and Chase Joynt approach the accumulated tension with a spirit of curiosity about the limits of these historical returns. They argue that new visibilities of transness on screen require us to re-engage earlier portrayals: Boys Don't Cry is central to conversations about casting, violence against gender non-conforming people, and the borders between butch and trans identities. Acknowledging a younger generation of queer and trans people who are straining against the images foisted upon them, including this film's egregious violence, and an older cohort for whom it remains a formative, if complicated, touchstone, Joynt and Page revisit the original contexts of production and distribution to unsettle the overdetermined ways the work has been understood and interpreted. Boys Don't Cry ultimately relocates the film in a way that attends to the story's violence and values, both on and off screen.
