＜p＞The rapid growth of the American environmental movement in recent decades obscures the fact that long before the first Earth Day and the passage of the Endangered Species Act, naturalists and concerned citizens recognizedーand worried aboutーthe problem of human-caused extinction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Mark V. Barrow reveals in ＜em＞Nature’s Ghosts＜/em＞, the threat of species loss has haunted Americans since the early days of the republic. From Thomas Jefferson’s dayーwhen the fossil remains of such fantastic lost animals as the mastodon and the woolly mammoth were first reconstructedーthrough the pioneering conservation efforts of early naturalists like John James Audubon and John Muir, Barrow shows how Americans came to understand that it was not only ＜em＞possible＜/em＞ for entire species to die out, but that humans themselves could be responsible for their extinction. With the destruction of the passenger pigeon and the precipitous decline of the bison, professional scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike began to understand that even very common species were not safe from the juggernaut of modern, industrial society. That realization spawned public education and legislative campaigns that laid the foundation for the modern environmental movement and the preservation of such iconic creatures as the bald eagle, the California condor, and the whooping crane.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A sweeping, beautifully illustrated historical narrative that unites the fascinating stories of endangered animals and the dedicated individuals who have studied and struggled to protect them, ＜em＞Nature’s Ghosts＜/em＞ offers an unprecedented view of what we’ve lostーand a stark reminder of the hard work of preservation still ahead.＜/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＞"A lively stirring and eminently interesting narrative." -＜em＞Knickerbocker＜/em＞＜br /＞ "It is full of wit, pathos, and character painting such as is rarely to be met with." -＜em＞American Review＜/em＞＜br /＞ "A work which will interest every lover of adventure." -＜em＞Boston Transcript＜/em＞＜br /＞ "A most entertaining narrative that has proved quite a hit." -＜em＞Home Journal＜/em＞＜br /＞ "It is spirited well written and entertaining. We commend the work to our readers as a novel book of travels and adventure." -＜em＞Boston Journal＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Trusting that authors of 19th century travel adventure were bound by the laws of verity, even when the truth disclosed is stranger than fiction, we read their pages with confidence. In those times of far wandering and wild adventure, we expect to be instructed and amazed by the reports of these travellers. Joseph Fabens has done his part in his 1853 book "Camel Hunt" by recording his experiences on sea and land in California and at Mogadore in the hunt for camels.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As disclosed in the "Camel Hunt," three Yankees, a Major Wallack, a certain Tom Eddington, and the author, with their wives, sail in a clipper brig to the coast of Africa in search of camels to be used in assisting the goldhunters in their migration across the American continent to the mines of California.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fabens provides a very sprightly narrative of the voyage to Mogadore for the purchase of camels to be used in traversing the wilds and wastes of our western territory. The closing chapter, which shows us the camels and their Moorish drivers safely landed at Chagres, and disposed before their tents, a little way out of the city, is very graphic, and sheds strange light on a passage from the Merchant of Venice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In describing a fleeting run-in with a desert nomad while in North Africa, Fabens writes:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A few days after, on the desert at night, when we were encamped far from human habitation, I heard a sound which impressed me similarly. A solitary Arab passed our tent, urging his swift hierie to the utmost, and as he rushed by and disappeared in the trackless waste, he sent forth a howl that seemed to come from the very depths of a lost spirit. All the next day his image haunted me, hurrying purposeless and despairingly over the vast nothingness of the desert; and when darkness covered the earth, finding no confidant of his remorseful outbreaks but the night wind."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his conclusion Fabens writes of the future of the camel in the American West, noting "we have taken the first step, we have laid the corner-stone in a new and heretofore untried business. All that we have proposed will be done, and much more ー not by our little band of pioneers, but by many united in the same cause. The camel will yet be domesticated and bred in our western states and territories, as the ox, the mule and the horse now are, and will doubtless do more towards extending the outskirts of our civilization than all other appliances to boot."＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the author:＜br /＞ Joseph Warren Fabens (1821-1875) was an author and commercial agent, consul at Cayenne and Nicaragua, as well as filibuster in Central America in 1855 and farmer in Santo Domingo in 1859.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Other works by the author include:＜br /＞ ?

【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 Plague of Lust, Vol. I (of 2) Being a History of Venereal Disease in Classical Antiquity【電子書籍】[ Julius Rosenbaum ]

Centuries. In the course of these inquiries, my attention was inevitably directed to the subject of Venereal disease, which exerted so powerful an influence at that epoch both on the physical and the moral life of nations. Accustomed as I was to regard History as being something more than a mere quasi-mechanical aggregation of facts, the observation was soon borne in upon me that only through a painstaking examination of the contemporary conditions of epidemic disease could the Venereal Disease of the period be really understood. Consequently, I felt I must isolate this terrible scourge of humanity from the general survey,ーso general as to be well-nigh all-embracing,ーand consider it as a ph?nomenon apart.＜br /＞ Once started on these lines, I occupied myself especially with the subject, and arrived at the surprising result, that the Venereal Disease of the XVth. Century owed its terrible characteristics solely and entirely to the contemporary exanthematic-typho?dal Genius Epidemicus, which made itself known in the South of Europe by petechial fevers and by the Sudor Anglicus (English Sweating-fever) in the North. I concluded further that the disease was not epidemic at all, merely liable to arise under the epidemic influence; and must consequently have been already extant before the arrival of the said Genius Epidemics.＜br /＞ Time and circumstances compelled me to remain satisfied provisionally with this general conclusion, and only after I had fixed my abode permanently at Halle, could I resume my earlier investigations. Yet again these were interrupted, partly by my work on the Diseases of the Skin for the Dictionary of Surgery edited by Prof. Blasius, partly by my Habilitation (formal entry on the Staff) at the University of that place, to which I had been repeatedly invited after the unexpected death of the late Dr. Baumgarten-Crusius. Eventually, I was enabled to devote the greater part of my leisure hours to this subject, one which in the meantime was never quite lost sight of. I began to sift and arrange the material I found accumulated, but in a short time I convinced myself that in its treatment I had to strike out a different road from that followed hitherto if I ever intended on my own account to reach important results; and I felt it would be impossible to complete the whole Survey in a single moderate-sized volume. Consequently, I proceeded to limit myself to the inquiry whether or no Venereal disease had been extant in Ancient times, and it is this investigation that I now publish as a first Part of the History of Venereal disease.＜br /＞ The general plan I have followed in my treatment of the subject is sufficiently explained in the Introduction; while a perusal of the text will show in what relation my investigations stand towards those of my predecessors, and at the same time to what extent these have been made use of, or indeed could be made use of, in my work. Owing to the very nature of the subject the Survey as a whole was bound to assume a critical character, dealing as it does not solely with the history of the Disease, but also with the examination of an extensive array of views and opinions already formulated. The conduct of this examination I leave the reader to judge of; but I believe I can confidently assert it was always the matter, never the man, that I subjected to critical treatment. Accordingly, I laid little stress on brilliant results, and made no effort to conceal lack of facts by dazzling hypotheses; instead, I made it my supreme object to come at the truth as near as possible and preferred to confess my ignorance, if the help and authorities I had at my disposal failed me, rather than advance propositions the baselessness of which a sober criticism is only too soon in a position to demonstrate.＜br /＞ “I imposed this law on myselfーto believe no man’s mere assertion; to depend on original authorities; to look at every passage with my own eyes, and read it in connexion with its context; to pick out the plain fact observed from the Chaos of hypotheses, and to accept as exact only what I could deduce from the authorities myself and see to be the evident purport of the observation,ーabsolutely unconcerned how each arbitrary theory might be affected or the sacrosanct authority of such or such a Scholar stand or fall. Why should we deem great men infallible? why find it impossible to honor them and yet dissent from them in your opinion?ーI felt I owed to my reader corresponding impartiality in the statement of the facts and arguments based upon them. If I was determined to take nothing on trust but to examine and see for myself, I could not reasonably demand faith from the reader and refuse to communicate to him the proofs and original documents I had drawn upon. It was no case of mere quotation from books,ーI was bound to lay open the original evidence for his inspection.” These words of Hensler’s I took as my guiding-principle, and if I have deviated from their standard in the Third Section, this only happened because the greater part of the passages there quoted have been repeatedly handled by my predecessors, and I feared to increase the bulk and consequently the cost of the Book to the prejudice of the reader.＜br /＞ I am well aware that the method I have adopted hardly corresponds with the taste of the present day; and if the public choose to find in my work nothing but an idle display of quotations, I cannot fail to be mortified. Nevertheless, I prefer to encounter, if needs be, the reproach of pedantry rather than that of superficiality. With the difficulties, I met with in connection with particular investigations I need not trouble the reader at greater length, as they are sufficiently familiar to everyone engaged in similar researches. I may be allowed to point out what a task was presented by the co-ordination of so considerable a number of scattered data. These I had, in the almost total absence of earlier works on the same subject, to collect mostly by my own reading from very widely separated Authors; and anything like the symmetry of arrangement was made still more difficult when, as occurred more than once, the discovery of a single passage forced me to entirely re-write a substantial part of my manuscript, often within a short time of its going to Press. For the same reason, the indulgent reader must excuse it, if here and there a later observation involves the supplementing and in some degree correcting of a previous statement,ーa thing that would have been done much more frequently had I not dreaded treating my material in too rambling a fashion. It would be quite easy now to subjoin in the form of appendices a multitude of additional proofs, of course only corroborating views already laid down,ーproofs I owed to further reading of the Ancient authors. However absolute completeness is impossible of attainment for the individual; and I can only hope the humble request I hereby express,ーa request addressed especially to professional students of Antiquity,ーthat others may favor me with contributions and remarks relevant to my subject, maybe not entirely without result. So later on perhaps the material accumulated may be utilized more efficiently if the interest manifested by the learned in my undertaking is of such a nature as to demand a re-mode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＞Angkor Wat is a historic site located in the north-central part of Cambodia. Angkor Wat itself refers to a temple, with numerous small temples scattered around it, such as Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, centered on the large ancient city of Angkor Thom and the central Bayon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This civilizations built in 12C are abandoned for the unusual climate change and completely forgotten for several hundreds until French naturalist Henri Mouhot visited this ruins in 1860 and published a travel note in 1863. It was recognized for the discovery of "The Lost City of Angkor".＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Angkor civilizations attract travellers and especially photographers with their mysterious and unique scenes of old temple ruins and giant trees covering them. It is nominated as UNESCO World Heritage in 1992.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although the Angkor temple is huge and the center of the Angkor civilization, Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, where temples and trees are entangled, are much more attractive to photographers. Especially, these sites are mysterious and even scary early in the morning and late in thee afternoon with any travellers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is also worthwhile to look for sculptures hidden in every corner of the temple. Some of them are buried in the ground in half, and some are broken into pieces, to see the passage of time vividly, revealing the passage of time vividly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Angkor Wat Temple is famous for its sunrise photo points. If you could find an appropriate shooting location, you can compose the sun hanging the main spire of the temple.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To the contrary, Phnom Bakheng is famous for its sunset point. It is also fun to sit on the tower and watch the sunset.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There is a place called Phnom Kuen, quite far from the main Angkor ruins, and after you get there you have to walk up to the valley on the mountainside. There are various sculptures submerged in the water. You don't have to go to this site on purpose, but if you can afford it, it is a good idea to visit there, because there is a beautiful site called Benteay Srey.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I visited Angkor 3 times in 2007, 2009, and 2011 and took about 8,000 photos during 3 visits. In this photobook, about 500 photos are selected and categorized by major places.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally I have to mention that I mainly relied on Wikipedia for the descriptions concerning Angkor archaeological sites in composing this photograph book, and I owe all contributors for this detailed descriptions on Angkor Wat. I thankfully quoted and rephrased their precious explanations on each of archaeological sites of Angkor civilizations.＜/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 Death of Desire An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness【電子書籍】[ M. Guy Thompson ]

＜p＞A stunning exploration of the relation between desire and psychopathology, ＜em＞The Death of Desire＜/em＞ is a unique synthesis of the work of Laing, Freud, Nietzsche, and Heidegger that renders their often difficult concepts brilliantly accessible to and usable by psychotherapists of all persuasions. In bridging a critical gap between phenomenology and psychoanalysis, M. Guy Thompson, one of the leading existential psychoanalysts of our time, firmly re-situates the unconscious ? what Freud called "the lost continent of repressed desires" ? in phenomenology. In so doing, he provides us with the richest, most compelling phenomenological treatment of the unconscious to date and also makes Freud’s theory of the unconscious newly comprehensible.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this revised and updated second edition to the original published in 1985, M. Guy Thompson takes us inside his soul-searching seven-year apprenticeship with radical psychiatrist R. D. Laing and his cohorts as it unfolded in counterculture London of the 1970s. This rite de passage culminates with a four-year sojourn inside one of Laing’s post-Kingsley Hall asylums, where Laing’s unorthodox conception of treatment dispenses with conventional boundaries between "doctor" and "patient." In this unprecedented exploration, Thompson reveals the secret to Laing’s astonishing alternative to the conventional psychiatric and psychoanalytic treatment schemes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Movingly written and deeply personal, Thompson shows why the very concept of "mental illness" is a misnomer and why sanity and madness should be understood instead as inherently puzzling stratagems that we devise in order to protect ourselves from intolerable mental anguish. ＜em＞The Death of Desire＜/em＞ offers a provocative and challenging reappraisal of depth psychotherapy from an existential perspective that will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, philosophers, social scientists, and students of the human condition.＜/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！】Their Stars Shone Brightly【電子書籍】[ Larry O. Goldbeck ]

＜p＞The passage of time inevitably causes outstanding achievements and important names to be obscured or lost. However, this does not reduce their inherent value. Over the course of many decades, the author has derived countless hours of entertainment and education through the four major American entertainment media: radio, theater, movies, and television. He feels indebted to the exceptionally talented performers of the twentieth century who have now passed into history. Recently, the author has attempted to locate a book describing all four of the entertainment media and its great performers, but none is to be found. Many books are available about only one or two media. The author hopes that this book will spark the readers interest in the great stars of the past and propagate this forward, particularly to the younger generation. All the data in this book is publicly available piecemeal, but this book consolidates and makes it more pleasurable and easier for the reader to acquire the fun and sometimes trivial information.＜/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。

Until somebody decided that he was feeling really cold and he needed something hot to drink. So he just put some water on to boil, but because he did not like the taste of bland water, he just added some nice green leaves. Hey, this chance combination turned out to be really tasty. It also happened to cure his cold and made him feel really warm.＜br /＞ Believe it or not, most of the herbal lore, which has passed down to us down the ages has been found due to experimentation or by Lucky chances. Also, anything which my goats, sheep, horses and cattle liked may not have suited my innards and vice versa. That is why you do not give your cats and dogs , well spiced food, especially your pizza remains, unless you want them really sick.＜br /＞ At that time people did not know much about writing, because we are talking about prehistoric times. However, down the generations, they passed on this knowledge to the people of their tribe. And when they met up with other people of other tribes, they shared this knowledge.＜br /＞ This continued some sensible person decided that this knowledge had to be stored up for the use of future generations. And so this compile addition of herbal lore and information was born and the teachers, the wise men helped mankind for ages to come.＜br /＞ This included the knowledge of the essential oils in the plants.＜br /＞ Basil and mint essential oils are excellent for cooking and in beauty products.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many of the herbs and remedies known to our ancestors have been lost with the passage of time. However, a lot of these remedies are still being rediscovered by chance, or through documents, found in excavations. Many of the plants which were so common during the time of the Pharaohs are now extinct.＜br /＞ Nevertheless, their knowledge can be considered to be the basis of modern medical knowledge. They knew all about how to use onions to cure colds, as well as heart diseases. Thanks to the Eber papyri , modern researchers are researching on the benefit of onions to cure heart ailments.＜/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！】Sensitivity of Mangrove Ecosystem to Changing Climate【電子書籍】[ Abhijit Mitra ]

＜p＞Mangroves are basically salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions. Till about 1960s, mangroves were largely viewed as “economically unproductive areas” and were therefore destroyed for reclaiming land for various economic and commercial activities. Gradually, with the passage of time, the economic and ecological benefits of mangroves have become visible and their importance is now well appreciated. Today, mangroves are observed in about 30 countries in tropical subtropical regions covering an area of about 99,300 Sq.Km. However, during the past 50 years, over 50% of the mangrove cover has been lost, mainly because of the increased pressure of human activities like shrimp farming and agriculture, forestry, salt extraction, urban development, tourist development and infrastructure. Also, dam on rivers, contamination of sea waters caused by heavy metals, oil spills, pesticides and other products etc. have been found to be responsible for the decline of mangroves. Although the temperature effect on growth and species diversity is not known, sea-level rise may pose a serious threat to these ecosystems The present book addresses all these important issues in separate chapters with some interesting case studies whose data may serve as pathfinder for future researches in the sphere of the influence of climate change on mangrove ecosystem. The role of mangroves in the sector of bioremediation is a unique feather in the crown of this coastal and brackishwater vegetation that may be taken up by the coastal industries in order to maintain the health of ambient environment. This book seeks to discover and to assess the vulnerability of climate change on mangrove flora and fauna, their role in carbon sequestration and some interesting case studies by some groups of dedicated researchers that may serve as the basis of future climate related policies.＜/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。
