＜p＞Intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett’s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely humanーincluding hygiene, recycling, and warfare. ＜em＞Adventures among Ants＜/em＞ introduces some of the world’s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception.＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics＜/p＞ ＜p＞?

【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！】Never Enough for Yourself: The Fear of Being Seen, the Fear of Failing, and the Anxiety That Keeps You Paralyzed【電子書籍】[ Walter L. Joyce ]

＜p＞For those caught in the relentless grip of self-doubt, there is a silent, ever-present fear that keeps them from moving forward. A fear of being seen, of showing their true selves to the worldーcoupled with a constant, nagging anxiety about failing. These emotions don't just hinder progress; they paralyze, keeping you locked in a cycle of inaction, constantly second-guessing, and unable to move toward your goals with confidence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ dives deep into this paralyzing fear, providing an insightful exploration of the psychological factors at play. It uncovers how the fear of exposureーthe anxiety that accompanies the idea of being judged or scrutinizedーprevents people from living authentically. This book takes a hard look at why we avoid being seen for who we truly are, how we sabotage our own potential, and the cost of living in this self-imposed hiding.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of how the fear of failure and the overwhelming sense of never being ＜strong＞"enough"＜/strong＞ keep them locked in a state of constant self-doubt. The narrative doesn't just highlight the problem; it dissects the internal dialogue, offering a clear map of the mind's constant battle between ambition and insecurity. It challenges the idea that failure is something to be avoided at all costs and shows how this mindset actually limits growth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each chapter is dedicated to unmasking a layer of fear that holds people backーfear of being judged, fear of being vulnerable, fear of not measuring up. By dissecting the nuances of these fears, the book reveals how they quietly dictate actions, keeping the individual from taking risks or stepping into new opportunities. The narrative brings light to the fact that these fears are often rooted in deeper insecurities, learned behaviors, and societal expectations that have been internalized over time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What becomes clear is that the anxiety driving these fears isn't merely about the fear of external judgment or failure. It is a fear rooted in the very core of self-worth. The idea of never being enough creates a deep sense of inadequacy, which further reinforces the cycle of avoidance and paralysis. The book shows how individuals are caught in this loop, never quite able to embrace their full potential because they are trapped in a state of constant self-criticism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through real-life examples and insightful analysis, ＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ shows how fear manifests in various aspects of lifeーfrom work to relationships, from creativity to self-expression. The constant pressure to prove oneself, to meet expectations, and to avoid mistakes, prevents people from taking the necessary steps toward success. The book explores how even those with apparent outward success can be secretly drowning in their own insecurities, afraid that any misstep will expose their inadequacies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the book does not leave readers in this state of helplessness. It also provides practical guidance for how to break free from these fears and anxieties. Through a series of exercises and strategies, it empowers readers to challenge the beliefs that fuel their self-doubt. The book encourages shifting the focus away from perfection and external validation to self-compassion and acceptance. It offers tools to help readers confront their fears head-on, allowing them to take the necessary steps toward personal growth and self-empowerment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What readers will find most valuable is the sense of clarity they will gain from this book. It's not about simply identifying fears but understanding how these fears operate and how to disrupt them. By understanding the mechanisms behind the fear of failure and the anxiety of never being enough, readers can start to shift their mindset and take bold actions without being paralyzed by self-doubt.＜/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＞One of ＜em＞The Wall Street Journal＜/em＞’s 10 Best Books of the Year＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞＜em＞Featured on the ＜em＞New York Times' The Daily podcast and＜/em＞ CNN＜/em＞'s Fareed Zakaria GPS＜/em＞＜br /＞ What our failures during the pandemic cost us, and why we must do better**＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Covid pandemic quickly led to the greatest mobilization of emergency powers in human history. By early April 2020, half the world’s populationー3.9 billion peopleーwere living under quarantine. People were told not to leave their homes; businesses were shuttered, employees laid off, and schools closed for months or even years. The most devastating pandemic in a century and the policies adopted in response to it upended life as we knew it. In this eye-opening book, Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee examine our pandemic response and pose some provocative questions: Why did we ignore pre-Covid plans for managing a pandemic? Were the voices of reasonable dissent treated fairly? Did we adequately consider the costs and benefits of different policy options? And, aside from vaccines, did the policies adopted work as intended?＜/p＞ ＜p＞With ＜em＞In Covid’s Wake＜/em＞, Macedo and Lee offer the first comprehensiveーand candidーpolitical assessment of how our institutions fared during the pandemic. They describe how, influenced by Wuhan’s lockdown, governments departed from their existing pandemic plans. Hard choices were obscured by slogans like “follow the science.” Benefits and harms were distributed unfairly. The policies adopted largely benefited the laptop class and left so-called essential workers unprotected; extended school closures hit the least-privileged families the hardest. Science became politicized and dissent was driven to the margins. In the next crisis, Macedo and Lee warn, we must not forget the deepest values of liberal democracy: tolerance and open-mindedness, respect for evidence and its limits, a willingness to entertain uncertainty, and a commitment to telling the whole truth.＜/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＞Explores how elites restrict access to public beaches around the globe＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beaches are a beloved form of public space. Yet there has been an alarming global trend of restricting access to public sections of beaches to ensure that waterfront property owners can enjoy the shoreline exclusively or develop the land for commercial use.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Beach Politics＜/em＞ examines how over the past forty years, privatization of public space has accelerated with the help of both local governments and national corporations. On a local level, this can entail a group of wealthy neighbors purposely blocking off public beach access in their neighborhood: hiring security guards, building fences, or putting up “No Trespassing” signs to turn away members of the public who have every right to be there. On a state or national level, it can manifest as gated communities owned by private corporations sectioning off huge swaths of land, limiting access, or governments promoting private, rather than public, development along the shoreline. Whenever disputes about land use arise, the powers that be often side with private interests and the wealthy over those with fewer resources and, frequently, people of color. With the continuing threat of climate change, decisions about how and where to harden or protect the shoreline often limits public use.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Focused on beaches, access to public space, and social justice, this book brings together powerful contributions illustrating how these issues are inextricably bound with socioeconomic status, racial segregation, and climate justice. Together they highlight how, through illegal actions and exclusionary legislation, the beach can be transformed from “a strip of nature” into a palimpsest of greed, racism, ecological disregard, and socioeconomic discrimination.＜/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＞How do we make space for video games in the places where we live, work, and playーand who is allowed to feel welcome there? Despite attempts to expand games beyond their conventional audience of young men, the physical contexts of gameplay and production remain off-limits and unsafe for so many.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Grounds of Gaming＜/em＞ explores the physical places where games are played and how they contribute to the persistence of gaming's problematic politics.

＜p＞This book treats the micromechanics of laminae, i.e., the prediction of the macroscopic mechanical lamina properties based on the mechanical properties of the constituents, i.e., fibers and matrix. The focus is on unidirectional lamina which can be described based on orthotropic constitutive equations. In detail, predictions for the modulus of elasticity in and transverse to the fiber direction, the major Poisson’s ratio, as wells as the in-plane shear modulus are provided. The mechanics of materials approach, the elasticity solutions with contiguity after Tsai, and the Halpin-Tsai relationships, are presented in detail.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Composite materials, especially fiber-reinforced composites, are gaining increasing importance since they can overcome the limits of many structures based on classical engineering materials. Particularly the combination of a matrix with fibers provides far better properties than the single constituents alone. A typical basic layer, the so-called lamina, can be composed of unidirectional fibers which are embedded in a matrix. In a second step, layers of laminae may be stacked under different fiber angles to a so-called laminate, which revealsーdepending on the stacking sequenceーdifferent types of anisotropy/isotropy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Python-based computational tool is provided, the so-called Micromechanics Analysis Tool (MMAT v1.0) to easily predict the elastic properties. The tool runs in any standard web browser and offers a user-friendly interface with many graphical representations of the elastic properties as a function of the fiber volume fraction.＜/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。

Another journey had begun, but I had no idea what an amazing turning point this would be for me at the time. I couldn’t get enough. I craved everything metaphysical, creative, and weird … I’ve always been a little weird to a lot of people around me, so this was nothing new. Nothing was off limits.

＜p＞＜strong＞"A compelling case" that humans are not the only species with moral intelligence, based on years of research into animal behavior ( ＜em＞Discover＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Scientists have long counseled against interpreting animal behavior in terms of human emotions, warning that such anthropomorphizing limits our ability to understand animals as they really are. Yet what are we to make of a female gorilla in a German zoo who spent days mourning the death of her baby? Or a wild female elephant who cared for a younger one after she was injured by a rambunctious teenage male? Or a rat who refused to push a lever for food when he saw that doing so caused another rat to be shocked? Aren't these clear signs that animals have recognizable emotions and moral intelligence? With ＜em＞Wild Justice＜/em＞ Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce unequivocally answer yes.＜br /＞ Marrying years of behavioral and cognitive research with compelling and moving anecdotes, Bekoff and Pierce reveal that animals exhibit a broad repertoire of moral behaviors, including fairness, empathy, trust, and reciprocity. Underlying these behaviors is a complex and nuanced range of emotions, backed by a high degree of intelligence and surprising behavioral flexibility. Animals, in short, are incredibly adept social beings, relying on rules of conduct to navigate intricate social networks that are essential to their survival. Ultimately, Bekoff and Pierce draw the astonishing conclusion that there is no moral gap between humans and other species: morality is an evolved trait that we unquestionably share with other social mammals.＜br /＞ Sure to be controversial, ＜em＞Wild Justice＜/em＞ offers not just cutting-edge science but a provocative call to rethink our relationship withーand our responsibilities towardーour fellow animals.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"This well-thought-out, provocative work will give scientific and lay readers plenty of examples to rethink and open new paths of research into the lives and minds of animals." ー ＜em＞Choice＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"I will never be able to look at a dog or a cat, or a cow or a coyote for that matter, in the same way again." ー ＜em＞Telegraph＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"An excellent introduction to a new science." ー ＜em＞Booklist＜/em＞＜/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＞Two historians and philosophers of science offer an essential primer on the meaning and limits of regeneration.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In punishment for his stealing fire, the Greek gods chained Prometheus to a rock, where every day an eagle plucked out his liver, and every night the liver regenerated. While Prometheus may be a figure of myth, scholars today ask whether ancient Greeks knew that the human liver does, in fact, have a special capacity to regenerate. Some organs and tissues can regenerate, while others cannot, and some organisms can regenerate more fully and more easily than others. Cut an earthworm in half, and two wiggly worms may confront you. Cut off the head of a hydra, and it may grow a new head. Cut off a human arm, and the human will be missing an arm. Why the differences? What are the limits of regeneration, and how, when, and why does it occur?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book, historians and philosophers of science Jane Maienschein and Kate MacCord explore biological regeneration, delving into a topic of increasing interest in light of regenerative medicine, new tools in developmental and neurobiology, and the urgent need to understand and repair damage to ecosystems brought on by climate change. Looking across scales, from germ, nerve, and stem cells to individual organisms and complex systems, this short and accessible introduction poses a range of deep and provocative questions: What conditions allow some damaged microbiomes to regenerate where others do not? Why are forests following a fire said to regenerate sometimes but not always? And in the face of climate change in the era called the Anthropocene, can the planet regenerate to become healthy again, or will the global ecosystem collapse?＜/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！】Quantum Drama From the Bohr-Einstein Debate to the Riddle of Entanglement【電子書籍】[ Dr Jim Baggott ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The definitive account of the great Bohr-Einstein debate and its continuing legacy.＜/strong＞ In 1927, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began a debate about the interpretation and meaning of the new quantum theory. This would become one of the most famous debates in the history of science. At stake were an understanding of the purpose, and defense of the integrity, of science. What (if any) limits should we place on our expectations for what science can tell us about physical reality? Our protagonists slowly disappeared from the vanguard of physics, as its centre of gravity shifted from a war-ravaged Continental Europe to a bold, pragmatic, post-war America. What Einstein and Bohr had considered to be matters of the utmost importance were now set aside. Their debate was regarded either as settled in Bohr's favour or as superfluous to real physics. But the debate was not resolved. The problems of interpretation and meaning persisted, at least in the minds of a few stubborn physicists, such as David Bohm and John Bell, who refused to stop asking awkward questions. The Bohr-Einstein debate was rejoined, now with a new set of protagonists, on a small scale at first. Through their efforts, the debate was revealed to be about physics after all. Their questions did indeed have answers that could be found in a laboratory. As quantum entanglement became a real physical phenomenon, whole new disciplines were established, such as quantum computing, teleportation, and cryptography. The efforts of the experimentalists were rewarded with shares in the 2022 Nobel prize in physics. As ＜em＞Quantum Drama＜/em＞ reveals, science owes a large debt to those who kept the discussions going against the apathy and indifference of most physicists before definitive experimental inquiries became possible. Although experiment moved the Bohr-Einstein debate to a new level and drew many into foundational research, it has by no means removed or resolved the fundamental question.

＜p＞＜strong＞A world-renowned physicist seeks gravity’s true nature and finds wisdom in embracing its force in her life＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Claudia de Rham has been playing with gravity her entire life. As a diver, experimenting with her body’s buoyancy in the Indian Ocean. As a pilot, soaring over Canadian waterfalls on dark mornings before beginning her daily scientific research. As an astronaut candidate, dreaming of the experience of flying free from Earth’s pull. And as a physicist, discovering new sides to gravity’s irresistible personality by exploring the limits of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. In ＜em＞The Beauty of Falling＜/em＞, de Rham shares captivating stories about her quest to gain intimacy with gravity, to understand both its feeling and fundamental nature. Her life’s pursuit led her from a twist of fate that snatched away her dream of becoming an astronaut to an exhilarating breakthrough at the very frontiers of gravitational physics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While many of us presume to know gravity quite well, the brightest scientists in history have yet to fully answer the simple question: what exactly is gravity? De Rham reveals how great mindsーfrom Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking, Andrea Ghez, and Roger Penroseーled her to the edge of knowledge about this fundamental force. She found hints of a hidden side to gravity at the particle level where Einstein’s theory breaks down, leading her to develop a new theory of “massive gravity.” De Rham shares how her life’s path turned from a precipitous fall to an exquisite flight toward the discovery of something entirely new about our surprising, gravity-driven universe.＜/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＞An exploration of the explosive illegal trade in succulents and the passion that drives it＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cacti and succulents are phenomenally popular worldwide among plant enthusiasts, despite being among the world’s most threatened species. The fervor driving the illegal trade in succulents might also be driving some species to extinction. Delving into the strange world of succulent collecting, ＜em＞The Cactus Hunters＜/em＞ takes us to the heart of this conundrum: the mystery of how and why ardent lovers of these plants engage in their illicit trade. This is a world of alluring desires, where collectors and conservationists alike are animated by passions that at times exceed the limits of law.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What inspires the desire for a plant? What kind of satisfaction does it promise? The answer, Jared D. Margulies suspects, might be traced through the roots and workings of the illegal succulent tradeーan exploration that traverses the fields of botany and criminology, political ecology and human geography, and psychoanalysis. His globe-spanning inquiry leads Margulies from a spectacular series of succulent heists on a small island off the coast of Mexico to California law enforcement agents infiltrating a smuggling ring in South Korea, from scientists racing to discover new and rare species before poachers find them to a notorious Czech “cacto-explorer” who helped turn a landlocked European country into the epicenter of the illegal succulent trade.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A heady blend of international intrigue, social theory, botanical lore, and ecological study, ＜em＞The Cactus Hunters＜/em＞ offers complex insight into species extinction, conservation, and more-than-human care.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.＜/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。

You may learn How To Lose Weight Once And For All by following the steps your body and brain are designed to follow.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We have put the responsibility for our lack of discipline on ourselves. That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Calories, carbohydrates, and fat have all been accused. That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We put the blame on our diet plans. That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's time to examine the activity of dieting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Because they are based on dieting, almost all diets are unsuccessful. Everybody has a diet, but only those who are attempting to lose weight actually follow a diet (verb). Dieting is the practice of eating and drinking sensibly or deliberately in order to lose weight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is unsuccessful. You are aware of this if you have attempted dieting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If it is treated from the typical dieting perspective, even the "ideal diet" with the correct foods will fail. We often hear amazing lectures about nutrition followed by the same stupid advice to "immediately start eating entirely different things from the ones you're routinely used to eating, and give up everything else," since weight reduction gurus are more interested in biology than neurology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Do You Struggle Against Your Own Body And Mind?＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The brain resists significant changes in behavior. The original How To Lose Weight Once And For All became the best-selling self-help book worldwide as a result of recognizing this and creating a plan around it. You'll learn in this book that humans also naturally resist such changes, which is why the majority of dieters and devotees of smoothie cleanses lose weight temporarily before gaining it all (and more) when the body adapts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How to Lose Weight Once And For All will teach you sustainably without provoking biological or neurological resistance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's a focused variation of the strategy that made the original book a bestseller in 14 different languages. Although the How To Lose Weight Once And For All are still simple to follow, the justification and supporting strategies have advanced. Given the wide range of elements involved in weight reduction, this is a requirement. The techniques presented in the book are supported by in-depth biological and neurological research.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞You'll Discover In This Book:＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞WHY AM I ALWAYS HUNGRY?＜br /＞ WHAT MAKES YOU HUNGRY?＜br /＞ HOW TO FORM A SPECIAL MEAL PLAN.＜br /＞ HOW TO SATISFY EMOTIONAL HUNGER WITHOUT FOOD.＜br /＞ HOW TO KEEP YOUR WEIGHT OFF AFTER LOSING IT.＜br /＞ UNEXPECTED EVENTS THAT OCCUR WHEN YOU LOSE WEIGHT.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most importantly, you'll discover how to alter your behavior over time in order to reduce weight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Why not attempt a tried-and-true behavioral modification method that your brain and body appreciate and respond to, instead of reading yet another diet book?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞You won't experience lasting change unless you make the initial move in the direction of an effective approach.＜/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！】Quantum Reality Theory and Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Allday ]

＜p＞As probably the most successful scientific theory ever created, quantum theory has profoundly changed our view of the world and extended the limits of our knowledge, impacting both the theoretical interpretation of a tremendous range of phenomena and the practical development of a host of technological breakthroughs. Yet for all its success, quantum theory remains utterly baffling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Quantum Reality: Theory and Philosophy, Second Edition＜/strong＞ cuts through much of the confusion to provide readers with an exploration of quantum theory that is as authoritatively comprehensive as it is intriguingly comprehensible. The book has been fully updated throughout to include the latest results in quantum entanglement, the theory and practical applications of quantum computing, quantum cosmology and quantum gravity. Needing little more than a school level physics and mathematics background, this volume requires only an interest in understanding how quantum theory came to be and the myriad ways it both explains how our universe functions and extends the reach of human knowledge.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written by well-known physics author and teacher Dr. Jonathan Allday, this highly engaging work:＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Presents a thorough grounding in the theoretical machinery of quantum physics＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Offers a whistle-stop tour through the early part of the 20th century when the founding fathers of quantum theory forever altered the frontiers of human thought＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Provides an example-filled interpretation of the theory, its applications, and its pinnacle in quantum field theory (QFT), so crucial in shaping ideas about the nature of reality＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Separates fact from speculation regarding quantum physics’ ability to provide a starting point for philosophical queries into ultimate understanding and the limits of science＜/p＞ ＜p＞The world beneath the one that we experience with our senses is profoundly mysterious, and while we may never completely unravel that mystery, quantum theory allows us to come closer than ever to understanding where the science leaves off and the mystery begins. ＜strong＞Quantum Reality: Theory and Philosophy, Second Edition＜/strong＞ makes that understanding accessible to anyone possessing a quest for knowledge and a sense of awe.＜/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！】Idle Days in Patagonia【電子書籍】[ William Henry Hudson ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"As a stylist, Mr. Hudson has few if any living equals." -Galsworthy, Nobel Prize author＜br /＞ "Almost mystic." -＜em＞The Yale Review＜/em＞＜br /＞ "He takes his place among the immortals ... nobody who has once fallen under the spell of Mr. Hudson's writing ever again escapes." -＜em＞Fortnightly Review＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Sure artistry ... it took me wholly captive." - ＜em＞Pennsylvania Gazette＜/em＞＜br /＞ "A master of prose style." -＜em＞The Academy＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the country below the Rio Negro was an unknown wilderness, Hudson went to Patagonia to secure specimens of a rare species of birds but was shipwrecked on the coast of Patagonia, and had a weary tramp to El Carmen. Afterwards, when on a visit to a friend, he met with a revolver accident which rendered him partially helpless and restricted the field of his observations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In these enforcedly idle days he made minute and careful observations of the bird animal and human life about him and of the physical features of the country which he compiled in his widely acclaimed 1893 book "Idle Days in Patagonia." His work provides a very vivid picture of both animate and inanimate nature in one of the least known portions of the Southern Hemisphere.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The study of nature, which is the proper study of the naturalist, has no specialized limits in Mr. Hudson's practice. It is of unrestricted range, and is marked by qualities of sympathy and insight that are natural to the poet. There is not an object that falls within his study as a naturalist, be it some item of the mere catalogue of common things, or some beautiful or grandiose product of nature, that is not transmuted by his imagination, and revealed in its true, its primal relation to man.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anything but a pleasing picture is drawn of the struggle the he has with Nature in his new home. Animals, birds, insects, and even inanimate forces are all arrayed against him, but the author considers even the severity of the struggle conducive to the well-being of the individual concerned. An interesting account of leaf-cutting ants is given and the bird-music of South America is stoutly defended and favorably compared to that of Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It appeared that the idler, riding in the gray monotonous waste, found himself each day falling into a singular mental state, and remaining there until his return at nightfall to the river and the habitations of man. He concluded afterward that it must have been the mental state of the pure savage or quasi-animal, a case of atavism and return to an ancient prime, induced by the hypnotism of the desert.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hudson relates the story of an encounter between ranchers and natives:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"They drove their animals into the corral, and, after unsaddling and turning loose the beasts they had ridden, were about to catch fresh horses, when a troop of Indians was spied charging down upon them. "Follow me, boys!" shouted Marcos, for there was no time to lose, and away they rushed to the river, throwing off their clothes as they ran. In a few moments they were in the water swimming for life, the shouts of the savages ringing in their ears....But when they approached it and were beginning to congratulate themselves on their escape, they were suddenly confronted with another party of mounted Indians, standing a few yards back from the margin and quietly waiting their arrival...."＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the author:＜/p＞ ＜p＞William Henry Hudson (1841 ?1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Hudson was born in Quilmes, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was the son of Daniel Hudson and his wife Catherine n?e Kemble, United States settlers of English and Irish origin.＜/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。
