【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！】Were They on a Break or Not? Did Ross cheat on Rachel?【電子書籍】[ Lerma ]

＜p＞How many times have you heard around the watercooler people say that Ross did not cheat on Rachel because they were on a break? Not only did you disagree, but you felt like screaming because you couldn’t believe people actually have the nerve to defend Ross’s actions, and to make things worse, put the blame on Rachel.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This has been a very popular debate since that episode aired, and until this day, author Pilar Lerma still wonders why that’s even a question. Well, you’ll be glad to know that you’re not the only Team Rachel. There’s actually an explanation that will finally answer that question.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lerma explains the theory behind why people feel they need to defend Ross and most definitely explains why his relationship with Rachel was so complicated by digging deep into his narcissism and how his flaws are exhausting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Will their love story have a happy ending?＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜br /＞ Pilar Lerma is a TV enthusiast who decided one day to put all those hours to use and start writing about the TV characters who had the most profound impact on her. This phenomenon is also known as parasocial attachment. Some people create these attachments from books, movies, or even video games.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lerma has always dreamt of becoming a movie critic, especially when she disagreed with the point of view of others, but that was not in the books for her. No pun intended.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She dedicates this book to her two daughters, Vanessa and Nicole, and granddaughter Izzy who are avid readers, and that’s an understatement. Between the three of them, they read over two hundred books a year, and one day, she thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if one of those books they read was written by Pilar Lerma, their mother and grandmother.” All she ever wanted was to find a way to be part of that elite literature group of the beloved three.＜/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！】Renegade【電子書籍】[ C.K. Blackmon ]

＜p＞Approved to be erected in front of town hall in months, the late James "Wolf Lying Down" Locklear's statue ignites a series of vengeful homicides the community believes to be by an obsessed oversized madman and his animal that not even bloodhounds can locate. During the Kiowa Sundance Celebration, they discover just how large, otherworldly, or prehistoric the animal is.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Nothing that big can move that fast," Keith Young breathes as he measures with his quivering hand above his chest of the "wolf thing," still quaking long after the animal's retreat. "I could've touched it when it shot past me. It glanced at me, scared me to death, but it just passed."＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the homicide spree, it does the same to two others, meaning to investigators that it has its targets. Becoming aware of the large animal solves only one home invasion and could possibly be the reason for the second of double coronaries of a couple under the control of a handler. Still, law enforcement is perplexed at what meticulous structure-crushing machine is precise enough to crush through the glass and frame of a window directly on the heads of two people simultaneously without leaving any clues or trace evidence. The sculptor believes himself to blame and later learns that Wolf's sister might be the only one to stop it, if she could only believe.＜/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 Life and Legacy of Leonardo Da Vinci【電子書籍】

＜p＞“Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.” ? Leonardo＜/p＞ ＜p＞A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? When historians are asked to pick a point in history when Western civilization was transformed and guided down the path to modernity, most of them point to the Renaissance. Indeed, the Renaissance revolutionized art, philosophy, religion, sciences and math, with individuals like Galileo, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dante, and Petrarch bridging the past and modern society. In Charles River Editors’ Legends of the Renaissance, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of the most important men and women of the Renaissance in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Renaissance also spawned the use of the label “Renaissance Man” to describe a person who is extremely talented in multiple fields, and no discussion of the Renaissance is complete without the original “Renaissance Man”, Leonardo da Vinci. Indeed, if 100 people are asked to describe Leonardo in one word, they might give 100 answers. As the world’s most famous polymath and genius, Leonardo found time to be a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It would be hard to determine which field Leonardo had the greatest influence in. His “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper” are among the most famous paintings of all time, standing up against even Michelangelo’s work. But even if he was not the age’s greatest artist, Leonardo may have conducted his most influential work was done in other fields. His emphasis on the importance of Nature would influence Enlightened philosophers centuries later, and he sketched speculative designs for gadgets like helicopters that would take another 4 centuries to create. Leonardo’s vision and philosophy were made possible by his astounding work as a mathematician, engineer and scientist. At a time when much of science was dictated by Church teachings, Leonardo studied geology and anatomy long before they truly even became scientific fields, and he used his incredible artistic abilities to sketch the famous Vitruvian Man, linking art and science together.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Leonardo also conducted scientific experiments using empirical methods nearly 150 years before Rene Descartes’ “Discourse on Method.” As Leonardo explained in his writings, “Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments; not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience, who is the one true mistress.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Legends of the Renaissance: The Life and Legacy of Leonardo da Vinci＜/em＞ chronicles Leonardo’s amazing life and work, analyzing the lasting legacy he left across the arts and sciences. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in his life, you will learn about Leonardo like you never have before, in no time at all.＜/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！】Defeat at Gettysburg The Lives and Careers of Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and JEB Stuart【電子書籍】

＜p＞Despite the fact that the Civil War began over 150 years ago, it remains one of the most widely discussed topics in America today, with Americans arguing over its causes, reenacting its famous battles, and debating which general was better than others. Americans continue to be fascinated by the Civil War icons who made the difference between victory and defeat in the war's great battles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history is ＜strong＞Robert E. Lee＜/strong＞ (January 19, 1807 ? October 12, 1870), despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. As the son of U.S. Revolutionary War hero Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III, and a relative of Martha Custis Washington, Lee was imbued with a strong sense of honor and duty from the beginning. And as a top graduate of West Point, Lee had distinguished himself so well before the Civil War that President Lincoln asked him to command the entire Union Army. Lee famously declined, serving his home state of Virginia instead after it seceded.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lee is remembered today for constantly defeating the Union’s Army of the Potomac in the Eastern theater from 1862-1865, considerably frustrating Lincoln and his generals. His leadership of his army led to him being deified after the war by some of his former subordinates, especially Virginians, and he came to personify the Lost Cause’s ideal Southern soldier. His reputation was secured in the decades after the war as a general who brilliantly led his men to amazing victories against all odds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Had James Longstreet died on the field in early May 1864, he would almost certainly be considered one of the South’s biggest heroes. However, it was his performance at Gettysburg and arguments with other Southern generals after the Civil War that tarnished his image. After the South lost the war and Gettysburg came to be viewed as one of its biggest turning points, former Confederate generals looked to that battle to find scapegoats to blame for losing the war. Longstreet was charged with being slow to attack on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, allowing the Union to man Little Round Top. He also resisted Lee’s order for Pickett’s Charge the next day, making his criticisms clear both that day and after the war through his writings. The fact that he served in Republican administrations after the Civil War rubbed his former comrades the wrong way, and the Georgian Longstreet’s criticism of Lee infuriated the Virginian Lost Cause advocates who idolized Lee.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alongside Lee, no one epitomized the chivalry and heroism celebrated by the Lost Cause more than JEB Stuart (1833-1864), the most famous cavalry officer of the Civil War. Stuart was equal parts great and grandiose, leading the cavalry for the Confederacy in Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia until his death at the Battle of Yellow Tavern in May 1864. Stuart was a throwback to the past, colorfully dressing with capes, sashes, and an ostrich plumed hat, while sporting cologne and a heavy beard. But he was also brilliant in conducting reconnaissance, and he proved capable of leading both cavalry and infantry at battles like Chancellorsville. As the eyes and ears of Robert E. Lee's army, none were better, despite the fact that he was only in his late 20s and early 30s during the Civil War, far younger than most men of senior rank.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nevertheless, Stuart’s tough fighting was and still is eclipsed by his reputation for audacious cavalry movements. He embarrassed the Army of the Potomac by riding around it twice, making him famous and embarrassing Union generals like George McClellan. However, Stuart’s role at Gettysburg was far more controversial.＜/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！】Trial by Trust【電子書籍】[ Sofia Derin ]

＜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. It’s my roar in a world that told me to whisper.＜/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。

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.
