【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 Game of Our Lives The English Premier League and the Making of Modern Britain【電子書籍】[ David Goldblatt ]

＜p＞＜em＞The Game of Our Lives＜/em＞ is a masterly portrait of soccer and contemporary Britain. Soccer in the United Kingdom has evolved from a jaded, working-class tradition to a sport at the heart of popular culture, from an economic mess to a booming entertainment industry that has conquered the world. The changes in the game, David Goldblatt shows, uncannily mirror the evolution of British society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the 1980s, soccer was described as a slum game played by slum people in slum stadiums. Such was the transformation over the following twenty-five years that novelists, politicians, poets, and bankers were all declaring their footballing loyalties. At one point, the Palace let it be known that the queen -- like her mother, Prince Harry, the chief rabbi, and the archbishop of Canterbury -- was an Arsenal fan. Soccer permeated the national life like little else, an atavistic survivor decked out in New Britain flash, a social democratic game in a cutthroat, profit-driven world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the goals, to the players, to the managers, to the money, Goldblatt describes how the English Premier League (EPL) was forged in Margaret Thatcher's Britain by an alliance of the big clubs -- Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur -- the Football Association, and Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV. Goldblatt argues that no social phenomenon traces the momentous economic, social, and political changes of post-Thatcherite Britain in a more illuminating manner than soccer, and ＜em＞The Game of Our Lives＜/em＞ provides the definitive social history of the EPL -- the most popular soccer league in the world.＜/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！】Empire of the Summer Moon Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History【電子書籍】[ S.C. Gwynne ]

＜p＞In the tradition of ＜em＞Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,＜/em＞ a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all. ＜em＞Empire of the Summer Moon＜/em＞ spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second is the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled ＜em＞backward＜/em＞ by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl who was kidnapped by Comanches in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the "White Squaw" who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend.＜/p＞ ＜p＞S. C. Gwynne's account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told.＜/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＞This carefully crafted ebook: "Of Plymouth Plantation (Complete Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Of Plymouth Plantation was written over a period of years by William Bradford, the leader of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. It is regarded as the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims and the early years of the colony which they founded. The journal was written between 1630 and 1651 and describes the story of the Pilgrims from 1608, when they settled in the Dutch Republic on the European mainland through the 1620 Mayflower voyage to the New World, until the year 1647. The book ends with a list of Mayflower passengers and what happened to them which was written in 1651. The Bradford journal records the events of the first 30 years of Plymouth Colony, as well as the reactions of the colonists to those events, and it is regarded by historians as the preeminent work of 17th century America. It is Bradford's simple yet vivid account that has made the Pilgrims what Samuel Eliot Morison called the "spiritual ancestors of all Americans".＜/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＞Japan is on the verge of a sea change. After more than fifty years of national pacifism and isolation including the "lost decade" of the 1990s, Japan is quietly, stealthily awakening. As Japan prepares to become a major player in the strategic struggles of the 21st century, critical questions arise about its motivations. What are the driving forces that influence how Japan will act in the international system? Are there recurrent patterns that will help explain how Japan will respond to the emerging environment of world politics?＜/p＞ ＜p＞American understanding of Japanese character and purpose has been tenuous at best. We have repeatedly underestimated Japan in the realm of foreign policy. Now as Japan shows signs of vitality and international engagement, it is more important than ever that we understand the forces that drive Japan. In Japan Rising, renowned expert Kenneth Pyle identities the common threads that bind the divergent strategies of modern Japan, providing essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how Japan arrived at this moment -- and what to expect in the future.＜/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！】He Calls Me By Lightning The Life of Caliph Washington and the forgotten Saga of Jim Crow, Southern Justice, and the Death Penalty【電子書籍】[ S Jonathan Bass ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the ＜em＞Washington Post＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞＜br /＞ A ＜em＞New York Times Book Review＜/em＞ Editors’ Choice Selection＜br /＞ A Southern Independent Booksellers Association “Spring Pick”＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞This harrowing portrait of the Jim Crow South “proves how much we do not yet know about our history” (＜em＞New York Times Book Review＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Caliph Washington didn’t pull the trigger but, as Officer James "Cowboy" Clark lay dying, he had no choice but to turn on his heel and run. The year was 1957; Cowboy Clark was white, Caliph Washington was black, and this was the Jim Crow South.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Widely lauded for its searing “insight into a history of America that can no longer be left unknown” (＜em＞Washington Post＜/em＞), ＜em＞He Calls Me by Lightning＜/em＞ is an “absorbing chronicle” (Ira Katznelson) of the forgotten life of Caliph Washington that becomes an historic portrait of racial injustice in the civil rights era. Washington, a black teenager from the vice-ridden city of Bessemer, Alabama, was wrongfully convicted of killing a white Alabama policeman in 1957 and sentenced to death. Through “meticulous research and vivid prose” (Patrick Phillips), S. Jonathan Bass reveals Washington’s Kafkaesque legal odyssey: he came within minutes of the electric chair nearly a dozen times and had his conviction overturned three times before finally being released in 1972. Devastating and essential, ＜em＞He Calls Me by Lightning＜/em＞ demands that we take into account the thousands of lives cast away by the systemic racism of a “social order apparently unchanged even today” (David Levering Lewis).＜/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 Silver Chief Lord Selkirk and the Scottish Pioneers of Belfast, Baldoon and Red River【電子書籍】[ Lucille H. Campey ]

＜p＞Belfast, Prince Edward Island, founded in August 1803, owes its existence to Lord Selkirk. Its bicentennial is a timely reminder of Selkirk’s work in Canada, which extended beyond Belfast to Baldoon (later Wallaceburg) in Ontario, as well as to Red River, the precursor to Winnipeg. Aptly named "The Silver Chief" by the five Indian chiefs with whom he negotiated a land treaty at Red River, the fifth Earl of Selkirk spent an immense fortune in helping Scottish Highlanders relocate themselves in Canada.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Selkirk has been well observed through the eyes of the rich and powerful, but his settlers have been neglected. Why did they leave Scotland? Which districts did they come from? Why did they settle in Canada? Why did Selkirk help them? How successful were their settlements? What impact did they have on Canada’s early development? Did Selkirk realize his ambitions for Canada?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In answering these questions, Lucille H. Campey presents a new and powerful case for re-assessing the achievements of Selkirk and his settlers. Using a wealth of documentary sources, she reconstructs the sequence of emigration from Scotland to the three areas of Canada where settlements were founded. She shows that emigration took place in a carefully planned and controlled way. She reveals the self-reliance, adaptability and steely determination of the Selkirk settlers in overcoming their many problems and obstacles. They brought their rich traditions of Scottish culture to Canada and, in doing so, helped to secure its distinctively Canadian future. Together, Selkirk and his settlers succeeded against overwhelming odds and altered the course of 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！】Gruesome Spectacles Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty【電子書籍】[ Austin Sarat ]

＜p＞＜em＞Gruesome Spectacles＜/em＞ tells the sobering history of botched, mismanaged, and painful executions in the U.S. from 1890 to the present. Since the book's initial publication in 2014, the cruel and unusual executions of a number of people on death row, including Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma and Joseph Wood in Arizona, have made headlines and renewed vigorous debate surrounding the death penalty in America. Austin Sarat's book instantly became an essential resource for citizens, scholars, and lawmakers interested in capital punishmentーeven the Supreme Court, which cited the book in its recent opinion, ＜em＞Glossip v. Gross＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now in paperback, the book includes a new preface outlining the latest twists and turns in the death penalty debate, including the recent galvanization of citizens and leaders alike as recent botched executions have unfolded in the press. Sarat argues that unlike in the past, today's botched executions seem less like inexplicable mishaps and more like the latest symptoms of a death penalty machinery in disarray. ＜em＞Gruesome Spectacles＜/em＞ traces the historical evolution of methods of execution, from hanging or firing squad to electrocution to gas and lethal injection. Even though each of these technologies was developed to "perfect" state killing by decreasing the chance of a cruel death, an estimated three percent of all American executions went awry in one way or another. Sarat recounts the gripping and truly gruesome stories of some of these deathsーstories obscured by history and to some extent, the popular press.＜/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！】Mawson's Huts The Birthplace of Australia's Antarctic Heritage【電子書籍】[ David Jensen ]

＜p＞The Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) of 1911-14, led by the young Australian geologist Dr Douglas Mawson, who was later knighted for his efforts, was not only one of the last great voyages of the Heroic Era, it was by far the most successful of its time in scientific terms. The results of the AAE's investigations were still being published 30 years later. Mawson's team of 31 expeditioners, with an average age of just 26, established three bases. The main one was built at Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay, where in January and February 1912 they built the wooden hut from Oregon and Baltic pine that was to be their home for two years. It was from here that the disaster and heroism of Mawson's far eastern sledging party continues to frame the popular perception of his legendary polar explorations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After the death of his two sledging companions, Dr Xavier Mertz and Lieutenant Belgrave Ninnis, Mawson walked for a month, starving and alone, back to Cape Denison, only to see his ship departing in the distance. The fragile wooden hut where he had to spend a further year with six companions is now a historic site, and is being conserved by the Mawson's Huts Foundation in partnership with the Australian Antarctic Division.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Formed in 1996, the Foundation is raising funds from the Australian Government and corporate and private sponsors to ensure that this vital part of Australia's Antarctic heritage remains intact. The Mawson's Huts Historic Site consists of the main hut, magnetograph house, the transit hut, the ruined absolute magnetic hut and a memorial cross to Ninnis and Mertz, along with a plaque recording the territorial claim Mawson made on his return for one night in 1931.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Cape Denison site is also recognised internationally under the Antarctic Treaty as a Historic Site and Monument, an Antarctic Specially Protected Area and an Antarctic Specially Managed Area. It is also inscribed on both the National Heritage and Commonwealth Heritage registers.＜/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！】A History of English Phonology【電子書籍】[ Charles Jones ]

＜p＞This is an attempt to view historical phonological change as an ongoing, recurrent process. The author sees like events occurring at all periods, a phenomenon which he considers is disguised by too great a reliance upon certain characteristics of the scholarly tradition. Thus he argues that those innovations arrived at by speakers of the English language many years ago are not in principle unlike those that can be seen to be happening today. Phonological mutations are, on the whole, not to be regarded as unique, novel, once only events. Speakers appear to present to speech sound materials, a limited set of evaluative and decoding perceptions, together with what would seem to be a finite number of innovation producing stratagems in response to their interpretation. It is stressed that this interpretation may itself be a direct product of the kinds of data selected for presentation in traditional handbooks and Jones notes the fact that phonological change is often "messy" and responsive to a highly tuned ability to perceive fine phonetic detail of a type which, by definition, rarely has the opportunity to surface in historical data sources.＜/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 National Being: Some Thoughts on an Irish Polity【電子書籍】[ George William Russell ]

＜p＞In "The National Being: Some Thoughts on an Irish Polity," George William Russell, also known as A.E., offers an incisive exploration of Irish identity and governance in the aftermath of political turbulence at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of philosophical discourse and poetic prose, Russell delves into the essential relationship between nationhood and the individual, arguing for a reawakening of the Irish spirit rooted in its cultural heritage. The book emerges as a poignant reflection during a time when Ireland sought to redefine itself amid colonial pressures, offering insights that are both deeply personal and universally resonant in understanding the nuances of national identity. George William Russell (1867-1935) was not only a prominent figure in the Irish Literary Revival but also an influential thinker whose interests spanned spirituality, culture, and political reform. His involvement with various social and artistic movements in Ireland, coupled with his mystical worldview, informed his dedication to establishing a distinctly Irish polity. Russell's belief in the power of art and literature as vehicles for national consciousness stemmed from his own experiences of cultural assimilation and his desire for Ireland's self-determination. I recommend "The National Being" to readers interested in Irish literature, political philosophy, and the evolution of national identity. Russell deftly articulates the struggles and aspirations of his time, making this work essential not just for understanding Irish history but also for engaging with the ongoing discourse regarding identity and governance in contemporary society.＜/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！】Anarchism and Socialism【電子書籍】[ Georgii Valentinovich Plekhanov ]

＜p＞In "Anarchism and Socialism," Georgii Valentinovich Plekhanov meticulously dissects the philosophical foundations and political implications of anarchism in contrast to socialism. Written during a period of intense revolutionary fervor in Russia, the book employs a dialectical approach to critique anarchist doctrines, emphasizing the necessity of a structured and collective social movement toward socialism. Plekhanov's vivid prose pulls the reader into a deeper understanding of the ideological struggles within the labor movement, articulating a vision of socialism grounded in class consciousness and collective action. Plekhanov, often regarded as the father of Russian Marxism, harnesses his extensive philosophical training and revolutionary experience to engage with the ideas of his contemporaries. His personal journey through various leftist movements and his eventual alignment with Marxism provide a rich backdrop for his critique of anarchism. This work reflects not only his intellectual commitments but also the geopolitical context of early 20th-century Russia, where the potential for revolution was tangible yet fraught with ideological divides. This insightful text is essential for scholars and activists alike who seek to understand the nuances of socialist thought and its contrasts with anarchist principles. Plekhanov's balanced analysis offers a foundational perspective for anyone interested in the evolution of leftist ideologies and their relevance in contemporary political discussions.＜/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＞In "The Verbalist," Alfred Ayres presents a compelling and thorough exploration of the English language, aiming to cultivate precision and elegance in communication. This work, published in the late 19th century, exemplifies Ayres' dedication to language as an art form. It offers readers intricate discussions on the nuances of words, grammar, and usage, underscoring the importance of clarity and style in both spoken and written discourse. The book serves as a guide that intertwines a didactic approach with a rich, engaging literary style, reflective of the period's heightened sensitivity to language and literacy. Alfred Ayres, a prominent figure in the realm of linguistic study, was influenced by the cultural education movements of his time, which emphasized the mastery of language as vital for personal and societal progress. His experiences as a teacher and editor informed his beliefs about the transformative power of well-executed language. Ayres sought not only to instruct but also to elevate the understanding of language's beauty and complexity, making "The Verbalist" a valuable tool for both learners and seasoned writers alike. I recommend "The Verbalist" to anyone who seeks to refine their command of the English language. Its insightful guidance and attention to detail will benefit aspiring writers, students, and language enthusiasts in their quest for eloquence. Ayres' work is not merely instructional; it is a celebration of language that encourages readers to appreciate and improve their verbal craft.＜/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 Brexit Effect What Leaving the EU Means for British Politics【電子書籍】[ Gianfranco Baldini ]

＜p＞This book examines the seismic impact of Brexit on the British political system, assessing its likely long-term effect in terms of a significantly changed political and constitutional landscape.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Starting with the 2015 general election and covering key developments up to "Brexit Day", it shows how Brexit "transformed" British politics. The unprecedented turmoil ? two snap elections, three Prime Ministers, the biggest ever defeat for the Government in Parliament, an impressive number of rebellions and reshuffles in Cabinet and repeated requests for a second independence referendum in Scotland ? as a result of leaving the EU, calls into question what sort of political system the post-Brexit UK will become. Taking Lijphart’s "Westminster model" as its reference, the book assesses the impact of Brexit along three dimensions: elections and parties; executive?legislative relationships; and the relationship between central and devolved administrations. Based on a wealth of empirical material, including original interviews with key policymakers and civil servants, it focuses on the "big picture" and analytically maps the direction of travel for the UK political system.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Brexit, British politics, constitutional, political, and contemporary history, elections and political parties, executive politics, and territorial politics as well as more broadly related practitioners and journalists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapters one and two of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
