＜p＞After eight years working in Japan, immersing herself in its language and literature, Lesley Chan Downer set off in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, Japan's most cherished poet, to explore the country's remote northern provinces. Basho's pilgrimage to find the landscapes that had inspired the great medieval poets gave birth to Japan's most famous travel book, rich in strange imagery and sometimes comic encounters along the road. In this intriguing cross-threading of journeys, perceptions and exquisite haiku, Lesley creates her own funny, loving and honest portrayal of contemporary Japan. As she walks, she finds at one and the same time a drab, post-industrial landscape of concrete and cables, but also a land still full of the old enchantments. Nights in thatched highland villages and sak?-drenched poetry sessions encourage her to see for herself if any of the legendary hermit-priests still survive in the sacred mountains of the north.＜/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！】Aviation Regulations【電子書籍】[ Facundo Conforti ]

＜p＞Since its inception, aviation has introduced rules and procedures based on the specific needs that arose at each moment. Over the decades, each country developed its own regulations for the operation of aircraft, regardless of the purpose of the flight. Operational criteria differences led to an increase in the rate of aviation accidents, providing the opportunity to establish an international civil aviation regulatory body known as ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).＜/p＞ ＜p＞After World War I, ICAO assumed a fundamental role in international air operations, bringing together most countries worldwide to establish various operational agreements and annexesー a set of globally standardized rules, regulations, and procedures that remain in effect to this day and form the basis for the development of this work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞All the content of this book is based on the different ICAO documents and annexes related to international aeronautical regulations.＜/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＞We begin part of our aviation career flying completely solo or with an instructor assigned to a specific task. As flight hours accumulate, our cockpit begins to be shared with colleagues, friends, instructors, etc. But after a long path of experience, the time comes to share a professional cockpit with another pilot as part of a working team. This is where novice or inexperienced pilots, who lack knowledge and training in a shared cockpit, often face difficulties in performing routine tasks.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Flying in a shared cockpit not only presents a challenge for any pilot who has developed their career flying solo but also for airlines that foresee this possibility and invest resources in training pilots to bring them to the highest safety standards. Considering this, a pilot with knowledge and mastery of shared cockpit techniques and airline flight resources represents a competitive advantage when applying for a job with an airline, as opposed to pilots who lack these tools.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Learning to fly in a shared cockpit, as in airline operations, involves getting to know your coworker, forming a team where tasks can be shared, roles distributed, and being objective and self-critical without losing the professionalism and cordiality between colleagues.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Flying in an airline environment is teamwork, where there will be a leader and an advisor, roles that will continuously shift, challenging pilots to adapt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Flying for an airline is more than just flying.

【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！】GT The world’s best GT cars 1953-1973【電子書籍】[ Sam Dawson ]

＜p＞Get behind the wheels of more than 50 of the most glamorous, beautiful, fast and capable cars of the fifties, sixties and seventies in this, the first of a series charting the true Grand Touring cars, the history and the culture of long distance travel and exotic locations. These are the cars that inhabited the world of the jet set and they could become part of your life too. Some are depreciated bargains, some are blue-chip investments, and all were exclusive when new and still every bit as glamorous today. This book takes in the milestones, the innovators, the oddities and the mainstays of this diverse sector of the car market. From the 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT, the car that arguably became the template for the Grand Touring car; the Facel-Vega, which united American power with European sophistication; the experimental aerodynamics of Alfa Romeo; the innovations of Jensen; and the design and engineering geniuses behind the Lamborghini Espada who took it from fanciful concept to production reality. We look at the waifs and strays too: The Marcos Mantis, a GT car you could build yourself; the Avanti, an all-American GT originally built for just a year but still available brand new today; and Iso, an Italian industrial giant which cornered, captivated and lost the transcontinental V8 market within a decade, to name just a few. We also look at the way global politics and economics have affected domestic car building and international travel, and the effect this had on these cars, from the building of unrestricted motorways after the Second World War, through to the devastating oil crisis of 1973, which changed the way we look at cars forever. This book shows that the cars which once powered through your dreams are still practical and now often well within reach. Dare to dream again! With nearly 150 pictures and written from a social as well as technical perspective, this is a fascinating and contentious book.＜/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 freewheeling essay on mortality and freedom at the intersection of ancient philosophy and biker culture＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞After my accident, I thought I was done with bikes. Until a few years agoーI was lying in bed having trouble sleeping when I heard a voice say to me, "Alan, get a Harley and ride to Death Valley." I didn't even like Harleys. And I didn't believe that God had called down and told me to get one. It seemed unlikely that the monotheistic God we're stuck with would endorse a brand of motorcycleーmaybe the pagan gods of antiquity would. Zeus might have ridden a Harley, or Apollo a BMW; you can imagine Aphrodite on the back of Ares' Ninja, zooming around the planets with a golden thong sticking up over the back of her toga. Even that twerp Hermes on a Vespa. Those gods liked to drink, and screw, and run around like bikers, but not Yawhehーstrictly black limousines and heavy security for that guy. Thou shalt not ride. Thou shalt not be free. Thou shalt pay off the debt of thy sins to eternity.＜/em＞＜br /＞ So begins one of the salty, sharp-eyed anecdotes that fill the pages of ＜em＞Organ Grinder＜/em＞, a book-length essay written by Alan Fishbone, a motorcycle-riding scholar of ancient Greek and Latin.

＜p＞How to start a new life abroad... in Vietnam＜/p＞ ＜p＞After living her entire life in Australia, Diane Lee had never lived or worked abroad... and wanted to. Taking a payout from her job in 2016, she decided to volunteer for three months at a social enterprise in Hanoiーa restaurant she visited for lunch while on tour in the capital in 2010. Three months turned into four years. This book is a memoir of her time in Vietnam, and tells the story, through essays and blog posts, of what it's like to be an older, single woman living in Asiaーand all that that entails.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One expat woman's true tales of life abroad＜/p＞ ＜p＞For Diane, living abroadーin Vietnamーseemed like a good idea at the time. Starting a new life abroad involved more than just finding work and an apartmentーand this book is a candid, brave and raw expose of life as an expat in a developing south east Asian country. From immigration woes to dating, to dealing with crippling anxiety to making friends to starting a company to moving back to Australia and repatriating her cat when coronavirus hitーthis book has it all, and is sure to be a valuable guide for anyone looking to work in other countries, or considering it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part memoir, part saga, part travel journal＜/p＞ ＜p＞Landing in Hanoi in late autumn 2016, Diane was both exhilarated and nervous to be embarking on the new chapter of her life:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"My reasons for being here in Hanoi have been well documented, but for those of you who want the Reader's Digest version, it goes something like this: I visited Vietnam in 2010, and as part of the tour I was on, we ate lunch at KOTO Restaurant. I was so impressed with them that I vowed to come back one day and volunteer. That day is now. I also wanted to take my life in a different direction because I was stagnating and bored and undervalued and unappreciated in my job, and "running away" to Vietnam to volunteer seemed like the answer to the question I was asking myself the age old questions at the time: Surely there's more to life than this?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Excerpt＜/p＞ ＜p＞"From a few short weeks of living in Vietnam, I’ve come to understand that it’s difficult, if not impossible to carry out a vision to change the world if you aren’t at peace with yourself and your own situation. Recognising this is key: to be the change you want to see in the world, you must start with you. I don’t mean that in a self-absorbed way, but in the “put on your own oxygen mask first before you help others” kind of way. How can you even attempt to fix the world and all its complexities if you haven’t at least tried to fix yourself? Acknowledging that maybe you aren’t as well-adjusted or all-knowing as you thought you were, and that you have flaws and vulnerabilities and that there is a darkness in amongst the light doesn't make you weak. It makes you human. We are not perfect creatures, none of us are, but that doesn't mean we can't strive for perfection in the small deeds and actions that make up our days. Kindness. Empathy. Respect. Courage. Understanding. Patience. Easier said than done. But endeavouring is honourable. To get up each day and say: Today I will try and make the world a better place by my actions, that's where the true power of one lies."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bonuses＜/p＞ ＜p＞Included are short guides to travelling in Vietnam and visiting Hanoi:＜/p＞ ＜p＞- How to get around Hanoi like a local＜br /＞ - A guide to coffee and vegetarian food in Hanoi＜br /＞ - The best photography spots in Hanoi＜br /＞ - Where to eat in Hanoi if you are travelling solo.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Get your copy now.

It is a city of inside places and conversation. Of intimacy.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Melbourne＜/em＞ begins on Black Saturday, the day that bushfires tore through the outskirts of Melbourne, destroying the townships of Marysville and Kinglake, shattering thousands of lives. Sophie Cunningham writes about what happened over the year that followed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sit through a heatwave, visit the drains underneath the city, participate in a letterpress workshop, wander beside the Yarra, cycle alongside tram tracks and cheer at the footy. Live through the drought before the storm, the rain before yet more fire and days of searing heat. Along the way, be captivated as Cunningham shares her Melbourne, its stories and its characters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a new introduction, Cunningham returns to Melbourne after a period away and reflects on how much her city has changed since ＜em＞Melbourne＜/em＞ was first published in 2011: it is hotter, greener and has endured the rollercoaster ride from boom times to economic depression that defined 2020.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'Cunningham has successfully captured the dynamics of a city in constant flux, while focusing on the essence of its inner life, which gives it an ambience quite unlike that found in any other Australian city.' Robert Hefner, ＜em＞The Canberra Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'It would be nice to imagine that the gift of this book to Melbourne is its greater capacity to understand itself and its webs of connection.' David Sornig, ＜em＞Melbourne Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'An admirable response to the impossible task of writing about a city its history, its present, its characters, its stories, its politics and its personal meaning in a single, accessible volume when any one of these themes should take several. Cunningham is communicating this city's soul as though it's a person, full of contradictions but with an essential character.' - Waleed Aly, ＜em＞The Sunday Age＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'This beautiful book provokes nostalgia and deeper thinking about the events, places and people who have defined Melbourne.' -＜em＞Herald Sun＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'Cunningham is communicating this city's soul as though it's a person, full of contradictions but with an essential character.' - ＜em＞Waleed Aly, Australian Book Review＜/em＞＜/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。
