＜p＞Surely the Time Traveler threw great dinner parties! His guests were treated to a once-in-forever trial of a miniature time machine - an exquisite miniature that acted so flawlessly as to appear to be stage magic. That his guests did not believe the explanation - the machine vanished into the mists of the future - was patent. Still, a couple of the more thoughtful had reservations about branding the demonstration an outright trickery. And what about the nearly-complete full-size Machine in the Traveler's laboratory?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Confronted at the next party by the disheveled Traveler, who had apparently suffered privations and who displayed two curious flowers of no known type, the Narrator's wonderment increased. For the Traveler provided a perfectly arresting story to explain his condition - a surprising tale of a far future where humankind divides into a carefree above-ground race, the Eloi, and a mechanical subterranean race, the Morlocks. A tale in which it appears that the inheritors of the Earth inhabit it as cattle for the feeding of their underground cousins!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Believe, or disbelieve? But perhaps the inventive genius of a man who can translate "thousands of millions of days" of time travel into an exact date should not be doubted!＜/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＞While editing and preparing for publication this brilliant book by Sabrina-Marie on the extraordinary life of the living musical genius that is ＜strong＞George Clinton＜/strong＞, founder of the ＜strong＞Parliament-Funkadelic empire＜/strong＞, I began to remember and realize that I had once been a weed smoking, drug taking, alcohol drinking, no head, no backstage pass, full-fledged, dues paying, card carrying member of the Parliament-Funkadelic Nation, a true funkateer. My motherfunkin ass had danced and gotten high many times while partying and jammin’ to the music of The Parliaments, then the Funkadelics, and then Parliament-Funkadelics, through the late 60’s, all through the 70’s, and I felt that I was always, truly, standing on the verge of gettin’ it on and doing something great. I had funkafied hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of girls while living in Boston, then Japan, South Korea, South Vietnam and even some North Vietnamese girls, then some Northern California girls, then back to Boston girls, then some cross country American ghetto girls, then some Los Angeles girls and then some Chicago girls, then funkafied some more back inBoston girls, to the music of the Funkadelic albums, Free Your Mind…and Your Ass Will Follow, Maggot Brain, America Eats Its Young, Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Getting It On, Let’s Take It to the Stage, Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, Hardcore Jollies, One Nation Under a Groove, Uncle Jam Wants You.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And the, Funkadelic singles, Music for My Mother, I’ll Bet You, I Got a Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody’s Got a Thing, I Wanna Know If It’s Good to You?, You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks,Can You Get to That, Hit It and Quit It, A Joyful Process, Loose Booty, Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Getting It On, Red Hot Momma, Get Off Your Ass and Jam, Better by the Pound, Let’s Take It to the Stage, Undisco Kidd, Comin’ Round the Mountain, Smokey, One Nation Under a Groove, Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll!), (Not Just) Knee Deep, Uncle Jam.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And then the, Parliament albums, Up for the Down Stroke, Chocolate City, Mothership Connection, The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome, Motor Booty Affair, Gloryhallastoopid, Trombipulation, and the infamous, Parliament singles, Breakdown, Up For The Down Stroke, Testify, Chocolate City, Ride On, Chocolate City, 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！】Adam Smith: English Men of Letters【電子書籍】[ Francis Wrigley Hirst ]

＜p＞Adam Smith was born on June 5, 1723, in the “lang toun” of Kirkcaldy. It was one of the “mony royal boroughs yoked on end to end like ropes of ingans, with their hie-streets and their booths, and their kraemes and houses of stane and lime and forestairs,” which led Andrew Fairservice to contrast “the kingdom of Fife” with the inferior county of Northumberland; nay, it furnished him with a special boast, “Kirkcaldy, the sell o’t, is langer than ony toun in England.” It had been a royal borough from the time of Charles I., and had declined, like many other Scotch towns, in the religious wars of the seventeenth century. Many of its citizens who had fought for the Covenant had fallen on the fatal field of Tippermuir. But it still contained about 1500 inhabitants, who were variously employed as colliers, fishermen, salters, nailmakers, and smugglers. From the harbour you might walk a mile or more westward along the High Street, enjoying from time to time a glimpse of the sea and shelving beach, where the line of shops opened for a narrow “wynd,” or a still narrower “close” threaded the high-walled gardens of a few substantial houses. In one of these Adam Smith wrote the Wealth of Nations, and probably in one of these he was born. The father, who died a few weeks before the birth of his only child, had been a leading townsman. Adam Smith the elder was a man of note in his own day. From 1707 to his death he was a Writer, i.e. solicitor, and Judge Advocate for Scotland. He had acted as private secretary to Lord Loudon, then Minister for Scotland; and Loudon, on leaving office in 1713, obtained for his secretary the Comptrollership of Customs at Kirkcaldyーa post worth about 〓100 a year. His widow lived to a great age, and saw her boy rise step by step to the fulness of fame. She is said to have been an over-indulgent mother; but her devotion was repaid by the life-long love of a most tender son. Mrs. Smith’s maiden name was Margaret Douglas, and she was the daughter of the Laird of Strathendry, in the county of Fife. At Strathendry the future economist had a narrow escape; for one day as he played at the door he was picked up and carried off by a party of vagrant tinkers. Luckily he was soon missed, pursued and overtaken in Leslie Wood; and thus, in the grandiose dialect of Dugald Stewart, there was preserved to the world “a genius, which was destined, not only to extend the boundaries of science, but to enlighten and reform the commercial policy of Europe.” The next landmark in the boy’s history is a copy of Eutropius, on the fly-leaf of which is inscribed in a childish hand, “Adam Smith, his book, May 4th, 1733.” Before his tenth birthday, therefore, he had already made some progress in Latin. The Burgh School of Kirkcaldy, which he attended, was a good grammar school of the kind that already abounded in Scotland. It was patronised by the Oswalds of Dunnikier, the principal people of the neighbourhood. James Oswald, who soon made a mark in politics, was Smith’s senior by some years, but they became life-long friends. Robert Adams, the architect who planned Edinburgh University, was another friend and schoolfellow; and so was John Drysdale, who twice held the helm of the Scotch Church as Moderator of its General Assembly. In 1734 the schoolboys played a moral piece written for the purpose by the head master, David Millar. As a teacher he had a considerable reputation, but as a dramatist he will be judged by the title of his play, “A Royal Counsel for Advice; or Regular Education for Boys the Foundation of all other Improvements.” Adam Smith soon attracted notice at school “by his passion for books and by the extraordinary powers of his memory.”＜/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 Book of Khallid【電子書籍】[ Malik Shabazz ]

＜p＞THE BOOK OF KHALLID chronicles the life and times of Khallid Abdul Muhammad, a notorious legend in the Black activist movement, and a militant prophet of today's radical generation. Minister Khallid Muhammad (1948-2001) was the former security chief and fiery national spokesman for Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. Later, he became the leader of the New Black Panther Party. Khallid Abdul Muhammad is the only man in history to be formally condemned by the entire U.S. Congress and the White House. He was accused of racism and anti-Semitism. A standout orator and revolutionary activist, Minister Khallid was stalked and hunted by the FBI counter-terrorism task force and other law enforcement agencies. The very controversial Dr. Khallid was also denounced by Reverend Jesse Jackson, moderate civil rights leaders, and then suspended by NOI leader Louis Farrakhan, who was in rapprochement attempts with Jewish groups. However, in the spring of 1994, Khallid would rise; delivering riveting, televised lectures at Howard University, and he publicly dismantled talk show host Phil Donahue in a thrilling national TV debate. In May 1994, Minister Khallid was shot and almost assassinated by a Nation of Islam affiliate, James X Bess. Afterwards, Khallid was eventually ousted from the NOI. In 1998, as the Panther leader, Khallid led rifle-wielding militants through Jasper, Texas, following the beheading of James Byrd Jr. by White supremacists. In the same year, Khallid warred with New York's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, over the Million Youth March, which ended with a violent clash between the marchers and N.Y. police. Khallid was also a force behind the LA riots, that resulted from the Rodney King police beating in 1992, which has led to the current uprisings against police killings all over America. In his career, Khallid was constantly compared to the iconic freedom fighter, Malcolm X. He is still revered today as a hip-hop Icon, due to his appearances on multi-platinum selling albums by Public Enemy and Ice Cube. In addition to his relationship with the immortal rapper, Tupac Shakur. Khallid was features on the latest Grammy Award-winning album by D'Angelo, and is often praised by rap heroine, Lauryn Hill, and the "King of the South" trap artist, T.I. "Most of America remembers Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad... as the passionate, emotion-evoking Black leader that was the last of his kind to stand up in the face of oppression in America and the first U.S. citizen to ever be censured by Congress." - SOURCE MAGAZINE. "Khallid Muhammad... a gifted speaker." - TIME MAGAZINE.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Book of Khallid contains exclusive insight into Khallid's close father-son relationship with the celebrity-businessman, and international best-selling author, Farrah Gray, who survived the assassination attempt on his father's life. Much of Farrah's early entrepreneurial genius mimics his father's bright success as a youth. The Book of Khallid provides unreported information into Khallid Muhammad's up and down relationship with his mentor, Louis Farrakhan, the most vocal and recognized Black and Muslim leader of the last 35 years, and renowned for his massive Million Man March.＜/p＞ ＜p＞ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Malik Zulu Shabazz is a former aide, spokesman and lawyer for Khallid Abdul Muhammad. Shabazz succeeded Khallid Muhammad, and served as the national chairman of the New Black Panthers following his death. Shabazz's vivid, personal narration of the story of his mentor's rollercoaster ride to the top is sure to keep readers hanging on to every page.

【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 New England with Particular Reference to the Denomination of Christians Called Baptist Volumes I & II【電子書籍】[ Isaac Backus ]

＜p＞History has been so often written and improved, either for party purposes, or mere amusement, that some serious persons have been ready to treat it as a thing foreign to religion, and of little service to mankind. Yet the same persons will readily own, that nothing teaches like experience; and what is true history but the experiences of those who have gone before us? of which perhaps none have been more remarkable, since the affairs of Canaan, than those of this country. And as the present contests about liberty and government are very great, they call loudly for all the light therein that can be gained from every quarter.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Rollin, in his ancient history, says, “The powers that be are ordained of God; but neither every use that is made of this power, nor every means for the attainment of it, are from God, though every power be of him. And when we see these governments degenerating, sometimes to violence, factions, despotic sway and tyranny, ’tis wholly to the passions of mankind that we must ascribe those irregularities which are directly opposite to the primitive institution of states; and which a superior wisdom afterwards reduces to order, always making them contribute to the execution of his designs, full of equity and justice. This scene highly deserves our attention and admiration. It is with a view of making the reader attentive to this object, that I think it incumbent on me to add to the account of facts and events what regards the manners and customs of nations; because these shew their genius and character, which we may call, in some measure, the soul of history.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now it may well be supposed, that men who are striving for more power over others than belongs to them, will not nor cannot set either their own or their opponents’ “genius and character” in their just light. And if it should be found, that nearly all the histories of this country which are much known, have been written by persons who thought themselves invested with power to act as lawgivers and judges for their neighbors, under the name either of orthodoxy, or of immediate power from heaven, the inference will be strong, that our affairs have never been set in so clear light as they ought to be; and if this is not indeed the case I am greatly mistaken; of which the following account will enable the reader to judge for himself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞CrossReach Publications＜/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！】Sermons by the Late Rev. Charles Wesley【電子書籍】[ Charles Wesley ]

＜p＞THE Rev. Charles Wesley was descended from a long line of learned and pious ancestors, who had the honour of being sufferers, in the different ages wherein they lived, for their steady adherence to their religious principles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His great-grandfather, Bartholomew Wesley, John, son to him, and his maternal grandfather the celebrated Samuel Annesley,* LL. D. first cousin to Lord Annesley, Earl of Anglesea, were all ejected from their livings by the act of uniformity, and enrolled amongst those illustrious names who chose rather to sacrifice every worldly advantage than violate their conscience; affording bright examples of heroic firmness and Christian resignation, under the oppressions of a violent party and malicious enemies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His father, the Rev. Samuel Wesley, quitted the Dissenters when a boy, from reading a defence of the death of King Charles I. From a private academy he entered himself at Exeter College, Oxford, where by his erudition and abilities he soon acquired academic honours, and maintained himself without the assistance of his friends on a slender stipend, till he obtained orders and a curacy. His loyalty being so remarkable at such an age, he was strongly solicited by the party of James II. to support the measures of the court in favour of popery, with promises of high preferment. But he absolutely refused to read the declaration; and when surrounded by courtiers, soldiers, and informers, preached a bold and pointed discourse from Daniel, 3:17, 18: “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up:”ーevincing an unequivocal proof that a person of high church principles may be a true friend of the Protestant cause, and of the liberty of the subject.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the glorious revolution took place in 1688, he was the first who wrote in defence of it, and dedicated the book to Queen Mary, who so much approved the performance that she gave him the livings of Epworth and Wroote in Lincolnshire, and appointed him Chaplain-extraordinary to herself. All this family were educated at the university of Oxford, and became Masters of Arts and Students or Fellows at their respective colleges.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Rev. Samuel Wesley married very early in life the daughter of Dr. Annesley, a woman of extraordinary intellect and eminent accomplishments; but her great characteristic was piety, which she so sedulously instilled into the minds of her young children, that they ever attributed to her instructions (under Divine Providence) the principles and habits of order which distinguished their conduct through life. By this lady he had nineteen children. He destined his three sons from their birth to the church, should their inclinations accord with his wishes; and he was not disappointed. His eldest son Samuel was entered King’s scholar at Westminster school, and sent to Christ-Church, where he became Student, and was solicited, as soon as he had attained his Master’s degree, to supply the place of usher at Westminster, in which employment he remained 20 years. He took orders under the patronage of Bishop Atterbury, to whom his unalienable attachment blocked up every avenue of preferment, and prevented his being elected one of the masters of that seminary. He attained much celebrity by his poetical talents, and lived in habits of intimacy with Lord Oxford, Pope, and Swift; and the Dean, though himself a Whig, was a steady friend to his family. In this circle his wit and literature were held in high estimation. But genius was his lowest excellence; he was a man of inflexible integrity and active benevolence. The infirmary for the sick and poor at Westminster was first projected by him, and his strenuous endeavours eminently promoted its success. He was indefatigable in the cause of morals and religion; and if his notions of church government were carried to excess, his public adherence to a friend in disgrace, when he foresaw it must preclude his own advancement, was meritorious. On quitting Westminster he resided at Tiverton, and was head master of the grammar school, where he ended his days, much honoured and lamented, and where his memory is still cherished with respect.＜/p＞ ＜p＞CrossReach Publications＜/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！】Mario Cuomo The Myth and the Man【電子書籍】[ George J. Marlin ]

＜p＞Among all the fifty-six men who have served as New York’s governor, none was more complicated, self-righteous, pugilistic, and exasperating than Mario Cuomo.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As governor, Mario Cuomo is remembered most for his advocacy of the “personally-opposed-but” position on abortion that led to confrontations with Catholic Church hierarchy, and for dithering about his presidential ambitions, that led the media to dub him the “Hamlet on the Hudson.” His political style reminded many of Machiavelli; Cuomo styled himself a successor to St. Thomas More.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this political profile, George J. Marlin sets the record straight on Mario Cuomo.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marlin traces Cuomo’s political rise and documents how and why he abandoned his public opposition to abortion to be elected New York’s chief executive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In great detail, Marlin describes the protracted conflict between Cuomo and his church on abortion and refutes the governor’s claim that his “position on abortion is absolutely theologically sound.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marlin critiques Cuomo’s famous 1984 Democratic convention speech as nothing more than the usual high-toned partisan liberal bromides that offered little, if anything, that hadn’t been touted by his party for half a century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book also uncovers New York State’s fiscal, economic, and social decline during Cuomo’s 12 years as governor. It explains why voters repudiated Cuomo’s version of a welfare state when he sought a fourth term in 1994 and why, in the words of his son, Governor Andrew Cuomo, his father was “more accomplished as a speech-giver than as a governor.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marlin skillfully separates the Cuomo “Public Intellectual” myth from the political man.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mario Cuomo, three times Governor of New York, an eloquent hard edged Catholic from Queens, dominated not only his home state but national liberal politics in the age of Reagan. Whether the subject was police or theology, Cuomo rhetorically overpowered the reporters who covered him. But he’s finally met his match in George Marlin’s ＜em＞Mario Cuomo The Myth and the Man＜/em＞. Marlin’s extraordinary equipment; a former candidate for Mayor of N.Y.C., former executive director of the New York and New Jersey Port Authority, author of books on Catholic voters and the Archbishops of New York, has made him the ideal author of what’s sure to be seen as the definitive political biography of Mario Cuomo. ＜strong＞ー＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞Fred Siegel,＜/strong＞ Author, ＜em＞The Prince of the City: Giuliani, New York, and the Genius of American Life＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Future Once Happened Here: New York, D.C., L.A., and the Fate of America’s Big Cities.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“It’s easy to forget what an important and fascinating figure Mario Cuomo was during New York’s raucous political heyday of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, when the likes of Hugh Carey, Ed Koch, Al D’Amato, and Rudy Giuliani strode the political stage. Thankfully, George Marlin’s wonderful new Cuomo biography will help everyone remember both the good and bad of the remarkable man who served three terms as governor, turned down a seat on the Supreme Court and rejected the chance to run for President. Here are both Cuomo’s successes and failures ー and of the latter there were many. An important work that helps restore our collective memory. ＜strong＞ー＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞Fredric U. Dicker＜/strong＞, the ＜em＞New York Post＜/em＞’s longtime state editor and a TV and radio commentator, covered six governors during 40 years at the state Capitol in Albany.＜/p＞ ＜p＞George Marlin is virtually peerless in blending high principle with knowledge of street-level politics and the nuts-and-bolts of otherwise mundane governance to produce readable, yet deeply insightful, social and political portraits. ＜em＞Mario Cuomo: The Myth and the Man＜/em＞, examines in fine detail one of one of New York state’s most consequential, if also deeply flawed, 20th-century gubernatorial incumbencies. Plus, readers get a bonus: Insight into what shaped the career of Mario Cuomo’s Democratic superstar son, Andrew. Marlin has been in the trenches himself and thus can separate blarney from beefsteak ? which this fine volume once again demonstrates. **ー**＜strong＞Bob McManus＜/strong＞, Contributing Editor, ＜em＞The City Journal＜/em＞, was the ＜em＞New York Post＜/em＞’s Editorial Page Editor (2000-2013), and ＜em＞The Albany Times Union＜/em＞’s Executive City Editor (1975-1981).＜/p＞ ＜p＞“George Marlin not only captures the political life and journey of Mario Cuomo, but details his policy approach that led to the near demise of the Empire State. Fortunately, the Conservative Party of New York was there to carry the torch and provide the margin of victory for George Pataki ending the senior Cuomo’s reign.” **ー**＜strong＞Michael Long,＜/strong＞ State Chairman, Conservative Party of New York (1988-2019)＜/p＞ ＜p＞“For both better and worse, Mario Cuomo was the quintessential American Catholic politician of an entire postwar generation: ambitious, brilliant, articulate, serious about his faith, and flexible in how and where he applied it. George Marlin is a writer of considerable skill, and he uses here it to produce a provocative, absorbing portrait of the man and his career. **ー**＜strong＞Francis X.

【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！】Valperga: The life and Adventures of Castruccio, Prince of Lucca (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley ]

＜p＞The other nations of Europe were yet immersed in barbarism, when Italy, where the light of civilization had never been wholly eclipsed, began to emerge from the darkness of the ruin of the Western Empire, and to catch from the East the returning rays of literature and science. At the beginning of the fourteenth century Dante had already given a permanent form to the language which was the offspring of this revolution; he was personally engaged in those political struggles, in which the elements of the good and evil that have since assumed a more permanent form were contending; his disappointment and exile gave him leisure to meditate, and produced hisDivina Comedia. Lombardy and Tuscany, the most civilized districts of Italy, exhibited astonishing specimens of human genius; but at the same time they were torn to pieces by domestic faction, and almost destroyed by the fury of civil wars. The antient quarrels of the Guelphs and the Ghibelines were started with renovated zeal, under the new distinctions of Bianchi and Neri. The Ghibelines and the Bianchi were the friends of the emperor, asserting the supremacy and universality of his sway over all other dominion, ecclesiastical or civil: the Guelphs and the Neri were the partizans of liberty. Florence was at the head of the Guelphs, and employed, as they were employed by it in their turn, the Papal power as a pretext and an instrument. The distinctions of Bianchi and Neri took their rise in Pistoia, a town of some moment between Florence and Lucca. The Neri being expelled from Pistoia, the exiles fixed their residence in Lucca; where they so fortified and augmented their party, as to be able in the year 1301 to expel the Bianchi, among whom was Castruccio Castracani dei Antelminelli. The family of the Antelminelli was one of the most distinguished in Lucca. They had followed the emperors in their Italian wars, and had received in recompense titles and reward. The father of Castruccio was the chief of his house; he had been a follower of the unfortunate Manfred, king of Naples, and his party feelings as a Ghibeline derived new fervour from the adoration with which he regarded his noble master. Manfred was the natural son of the last emperor of the house of Swabia; before the age of twenty he had performed the most brilliant exploits, and undergone the most romantic vicissitudes, in all of which the father of Castruccio had been his faithful page and companion. The unrelenting animosity with which the successive Popes pursued his royal master, gave rise in his bosom to a hatred, that was heightened by the contempt with which he regarded their cowardly and artful policy. When therefore the quarrels of the Guelphs and Ghibelines were revived in Lucca under the names of Bianchi and Neri, Ruggieri dei Antelminelli was the chief opponent and principal victim of the machinations of the Papal party. Castruccio was then only eleven years of age; but his young imagination was deeply impressed by the scenes that passed around him. When the citizens of Lucca had assembled on the appointed day to choose their Podest?, or principal magistrate, the two parties dividing on the Piazza glared defiance at each other: the Guelphs had the majority in numbers; but the Ghibelines wishing, like Brennus, to throw the sword into the ascending scale, assailed the stronger party with arms in their hands. They were repulsed; and, flying before their enemies, the Guelphs remained in possession of the field, where, under the guidance of their chiefs, they voted the perpetual banishment of the Ghibelines; and the summons was read by a herald, which commanded all the districts of Lucca to range themselves the next morning under their respective banners, that they might attack and expel by force those of the contrary party who should refuse to obey the decree.＜/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。

Because Health is the biggest wealth in your life."＜strong＞Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one"＜/strong＞ By Astrid Alauda.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Health is a state of the body. Wellness is a state of being"＜/strong＞ By J.Stanford＜br /＞ The Science of Being Well Originally published in 1910, The Science of Being Well applies the power of positive thinking to getting and maintaining good physical and mental health. This book is ILLUSTRATED AND ANNOTATED.＜br /＞ This book provides you motivational quotes about health, All information about Science of being well, The principle of health, The foundation of faith, Life and its organisms, What to think, Faith, Use of the will, Health from God, Summary of the mental actions, When to Eat, What to Eat, How to eat, Hunger and appetites, In a nutshell, Breathing, Sleep, Supplementary instructions, A summary of the science of being well.＜br /＞ According to Wallace Wattles, thought is far more powerful than we imagine. It is the way in which humans can literally reshape reality according to their will; it is how we interact with the substance of the universe. And those wanting a new way to improve their health may find Wattles' approach empowering. American author WALLACE DELOIS WATTLES (1860-1911) overcame poverty and failure in his life to become a pioneer of the early self-help movement. Among his books are The Science of Being Great and How to Be a Genius.＜br /＞ This volume is the second of a series, the first of which is "THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH." As that book is intended solely for those who want money, so this is for those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise. It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health. While retaining all essentials, I have carefully eliminated all non-essentials; I have used no technical, abstruse, or difficult language, and have kept the one point in view at all times.＜br /＞ As its title asserts, the book deals with science, not speculation. The monistic theory of the universeーthe theory that matters, mind, consciousness, and life are all manifestations of one Substanceーis now accepted by most thinkers; and if you accept this theory, you cannot deny the logical conclusions you will find herein. Best of all, the methods of thought and action prescribed have been tested by the author in his own case, and in the case of hundreds of others during twelve years of practice, with continuous and unfailing success. I can say of the Science of Being Well that it works; and that wherever its laws are complied with, it can no more fail to work than the science of geometry can fail to work. If the tissues of your body have not been so destroyed that continued life is impossible, you can get well; and if you will think and act in a Certain Way, you will get well.＜br /＞ If the reader wishes to fully understand the monistic theory of the cosmos, he is recommended to read Hegel and Emerson; to read also "The Eternal News," a pamphlet by J. J. Brown, 300 Cathcart Road, Govanhill, Glasgow, Scotland. Some enlightenment may also be found in a series of articles by the author, which were published in The Nautilus, Holyoke, Mass., during the year 1909, under the title, "What Is Truth?"＜br /＞ Those who wish more detailed information as to the performance of the voluntary functionsーeating, drinking, breathing, and sleepingーmay read "New Science of Living and Healing," "Letters to a Woman's Husband," and "The Constructive Use of Foods," booklets by W. D. Wattles, which may be obtained from the publishers of this book. I would also recommend the writings of Horace Fletcher, and of Edward Hooker Dewey. Read all these, if you like, as a sort of buttress to your faith; but let me warn you against making the mistake of studying many conflicting theories, and practicing, at the same time, parts of several different "systems"; for if you get well, it must be by giving your WHOLE MIND to the right way of thinking and living. Remember that the SCIENCE OF BEING WELL claims to be a complete and sufficient guide in every particular. Concentrate upon the way of thinking and acting it prescribes, and follow it in every detail, and you will get well; or if you are already well, you will remain so. Trusting that you will go on until the priceless blessing of perfect health is yours, I remain,＜br /＞ Very truly yours,＜br /＞ Wallace D. Wattles.＜br /＞ Source: Wikipedia＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞About the Author:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wallace Delois Wattles (1860?1911) was an American New Thought writer. He remains personally somewhat obscure, but his writing has been widely quoted and remains in print in the New Thought and self-help movements. Wattles' best-known work is a 1910 book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explains how to become wealthy.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Life and career＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Wattles' daughter, Florence A. Wattles, described her father's life in a "Letter" that was published shortly after his death in the New Thought magazine Nautilus, edited by Elizabeth Towne. The Nautilus had previously carried articles by Wattles in almost every issue, and Towne was also his book publisher. Florence Wattles wrote that her father was born in the U.S. in 1860, received little formal education, and found himself excluded from the world of commerce and wealth.＜br /＞ According to the 1880 US Federal Census, Wallace lived with his parents on a farm in Nunda Township, McHenry County, Illinois, and worked as a farm laborer. His father is listed as a gardener and his mother as "keeping house". Wallace is listed as being born in Illinois while his parents are listed as born in New York. No other siblings are recorded as living with the family. According to the 1910 census, Wattles had changed the spelling of his last name from Walters to Wattles. He was married to Abbie Walters, 47, at the time. They had three children: Florence Walters, 22, Russell H. Walters, 27, and Agnes Walters, 16. It also shows that at the time Wallace's mother Mary A. Walters was living with the family at the age of 79.＜br /＞ Florence wrote that "he made lots of money, and had good health, except for his extreme frailty" in the last three years before his death. Wattles died on February 7, 1911, in Ruskin, Tennessee, and his body was transported home for burial to Elwood, Indiana.As a sign of respect businesses closed throughout the town for two hours on the afternoon of his funeral.＜br /＞ His death at age 51 was regarded as "untimely" by his daughter; in the previous year he had not only published two books (The Science of Being Well and The Science of Getting Rich), but he had also run for public office.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Christian Socialism＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In 1896 in Chicago, Illinois, Wattles attended "a convention of reformers" and met George Davis Herron, a Congregational Church minister and professor of Applied Christianity at Grinnell College who was then attracting nationwide attention by preaching a form of Christian Socialism.＜br /＞ After meeting Herron, Wattles became a social visionary and began to expound upon what Florence called "the wonderful, social message of Jesus."According to Florence, he at one time had held a position in the Methodist Church but was ejected for his "heresy".Two of his books (A New Christ and Jesus: The Man and His Work) dealt with Christianity from a Socialist perspective.＜br /＞ In the 1908 election, he ran as a Socialist Party of America candidate in the Eighth Congressional District; in 1910 he again ran as a Socialist candidate, for the office of Prosecuting Attorney for Madison County, Indiana 50th court district.

【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 Bravest of the Brave OR, WITH PETERBOROUGH IN SPAIN【電子書籍】[ G.A. HENTY ]

＜p＞There are few great leaders whose lives and actions have so completely fallen into oblivion as those of the Earl of Peterborough. His career as a general was a brief one, extending only over little more than a year, and yet in that time he showed a genius for warfare which has never been surpassed, and performed feats of daring worthy of taking their place among those of the leaders of chivalry. The fact that they have made so slight a mark upon history is due to several reasons. In the first place, they were overshadowed by the glory and successes of Marlborough; they were performed in a cause which could scarcely be said to be that of England, and in which the public had a comparatively feeble interest; the object, too, for which he fought was frustrated, and the war was an unsuccessful one, although from no fault on his part. But most of all, Lord Peterborough failed to attain that place in the list of British worthies to which his genius and his bravery should have raised him, because that genius was directed by no steady aim or purpose. Lord Peterborough is, indeed, one of the most striking instances in history of genius and talent wasted, and a life thrown away by want of fixed principle and by an inability or unwillingness to work with other men. He quarreled in turn with every party and with almost every individual with whom he came in contact; and while he himself was constantly changing his opinions, he was intolerant of all opinions differing from those which he at the moment held, and was always ready to express in the most open and offensive manner his contempt and dislike for those who differed from him. His eccentricities were great; he was haughty and arrogant, hasty and passionate; he denied his God, quarreled with his king, and rendered himself utterly obnoxious to every party in the state.

【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 Real Gladstone: An Anecdotal Biography【電子書籍】[ James Ewing Ritchie ]

＜p＞Many, many years ago England’s foremost statesman, as George Canning then was, distrusted by the multitude, feared by his colleagues, regarded with suspicion by the First Gentleman of the Ageーas it was the fashion to term George the Magnificent, who was then seated on the British throneーwearied of the strife and turmoil of party, spent a short time at Seaforth House, bidding what he deemed his farewell to his Liverpool correspondents. His custom, we are told, was to sit for hours gazing on the wide expanse of waters before him. His had been a marvellous career. Born out of the circle of the ruling classes, by his indomitable energy, the greatness of his intellectual gifts, his brilliant eloquence, he had lifted himself up above his contemporaries, and had become their leader; and here he was about to quit the scene of his triumphsーto reign as Viceroy in a far-off land. Canning, however, did not retire from the Parliamentary arena, but stopped at home to be Premier of Great Britain and Ireland, and to let all Europe know that this country had done with the Holy Alliance; that a new and better spirit was walking the earth; that the dark night of bigotry was past, and that the dawn of a better day had come. As he sat there looking out over the waters, a little one was to be seen playing below upon the sand. That little lad was the son of Canning’s host and friend, and his name was William Ewart Gladstone. Does it not seem as if the little one playing on the sand had unconsciously caught something of the genius, of the individuality, of the eloquence, of the loftiness of aim, of the statesman who sat above him overlooking the sea? Circumstances have much to do with the formation of character. To the youthful Gladstone, Canning was a light, a glory, and a star. William Ewart Gladstone was born on December 29, 1809, at a house which may still be seen, 62, Rodney Street, Liverpool. He was of Scotch extraction, his father, a Liverpool merchant, having an estate in Scotland. Mr. Gladstone senior lived to become one of the merchant princes of Great Britain, a Baronet, and a Member of Parliament. He died, at the advanced age of eighty-seven, in 1851. His wife was Anne, daughter of Andrew Robertson, of Stornoway. They had six children; William Ewart Gladstone was the third. The family were all brought up as debaters. The children and their parents are said to have argued upon everything. They would debate whether the meat should be boiled or broiled, whether a window should be shut or opened, and whether it was likely to be fine or wet next day. As a little boy, Gladstone went to school at Seaforth, where the late Dean Stanley was a pupil. The latter is responsible for the following: ‘There is a small school near Liverpool at which Mr. Gladstone was brought up before he went to Eton. A few years ago, another little boy who was sent to this school, and whose name I will not mention, called upon the old clergyman who was the headmaster. The boy was now a young man, and he said to the old clergyman: “There is one thing in which I have never in the least degree improved since I was at schoolーthe casting up of figures.” “Well,” replied the master, “it is very extraordinary that it should be so, because certainly no one could be a more incapable arithmetician at school than you were; but I will tell you a curious thing. When Mr. Gladstone was at the school, he was just as incapable at addition and subtraction as you were; now you see what he has becomeーhe is one of the greatest of our financiers.”’＜/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！】Babylon Working - Part Two A Dystopian Sci/Fi Dark Fantasy Horror【電子書籍】[ Davy Lyons ]

＜p＞THE END OF THE WORLD IS JUST A BEGINNING…The year is 2066. The world is embroiled in a perpetual war. The authoritarian Union, a dictatorship that spans from America to the borders of Russia, uses the "Global Defence Authority" army as a replacement for the old United Nations, sending endless lines of troops, male and female, to fight The African Islamic League, a quasi-Caliphate that spans much of Africa and the middle East, known commonly as "The Terrorists". The Frontline extends from China to the edges of Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Britain is run by neo-Fascist party the B.F.P. and is under the firm control of aging Prime Minster Mark Collins. In London society is downtrodden and lost. Naive seventeen year old Aaron Styles is thinking about his future and has decided to join the Global Defence Authority forces, even though he is a black kid in a society where having anything but white skin severely impacts your life choices. Ghettos, known as Estates, are the common symbol of racial divide, but Aaron has been brought up in secrecy away from the notorious ghetto by elderly guardian Doctor Andrew Forrester, an 82 year old middle class white historian. The Doctor's life has been one of regrets and inaction against the murderous political thugs that have taken society over, and now he is left devastated by Aaron's decision to leave. Finally, together with his life long friend and ex-resistance fighter Shirley Barnes, he decides he's going to do something about it. Meanwhile, on the front line in the Egyptian desert something very strange is happening. Twenty-three year old Californian Jake Kochowski, a Corporal in the Global Defence Authority Marine infantry, finds himself at the heart of a horrifying supernatural event, involving deities, demons and monsters, that will change the world, and its warring occupants, forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using the distinct voices of Aaron Styles, Doctor Forrester and Corporal Kochowski, "Babylon Working" is a dystopian dark fantasy sci-fi horror, with a contemporary take on themes explored by works such as Orwell and Heller with the horror tones of H. P. Lovecraft and a strong dose of the postmodern visionary genius of George A. Romero and Robert Kirkman.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With elements of apocalyptic horror and speculative science fiction, and an underlying threat of Lovecraftian monsters and strange deities, Babylon Working is a unique story in three parts, set in a world where the armor of democracy and free expression has been destroyed and removed.

【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 Royal Pawn of Venice: A Romance of Cyprus【電子書籍】[ Mrs. Lawrence Turnbull ]

＜p＞Among the day-dreams of the Rulers of Venice the island of Cyprus had long loomed large and fairーCyprus, the happy isle of romance, l'isola fortunata, sea-girdled, clothed with dense forests of precious woods, veined with inexhaustible mines of rich metals; a very garden of luscious fruits, garlanded with ever-blooming flowersーa land flowing with milk and honey and steeped in the fragrance of wines that a god might covet. KyprosーPaphosーa theme for poets, where Aphrodite rose from the foam of the sea, and the fabled groves of the mysteries of Venus gave place to primitive shrines of Christian worship, while innumerable Grecian legends were merged in early Christian traditions, imparting some of their own tint of fable, yet baptizing anew the groves and hillsides to sanctity. Beautiful hillsides, rippling down to the sea-coasts; and plains, nestling among the mountain slopes, littered with remnants of vast temples of superb pagan workmanship and with priceless pre-historic remains: wonderful, ancient marbles, time-mellowed and crumbling, inwrought rather with barbaric symbols of splendor than with the tender grace of poetic suggestion. And this land of many races and dynasties, of conflicting ideals and religions, as of many tonguesーwhere domination was largely a matter of the stronger handーstill held among the nations her ancient soubriquet of the happy isle. But less for her romance and beauty than because this notissima fam? insul? was a possession to be envied by a diplomatic nation, since its position lent it importance, the Republic had looked upon it with longing eyesーand because of its commerce, which equalled that of Venice, long ago the far-seeing Senate had sought to purchase it from the Greek Emperor, but the agreement had come to naught by treachery of the Emperor's son. Nevertheless, Cyprus had not been forgotten; and the time for Venice to make good this remembrance had now come uppermost on the calendar of the years. So they were ready to give rapt attention to the flattering proposals of the young Cyprian Monarch, as presented by his dignified ambassador, the Signor Filippo Mastachelli, when he appeared before the Signoria with the retinue and splendor of an Eastern Prince, bearing gifts of jewels meet for a royal bride, to claim the hand of a patrician maid of Venice, to make her Queen of Cyprus. Janus the Second was young and brave, the idol of a party of his peopleーand where was the kingdom in which there were known to be no discontents? He was upheld by the great Sultan of Egypt to whom he owed suzerainty and, if in disfavor of the Holy Father for this allegiance, Venice had always permitted Rome to question her own supremacy and was not disconcerted thereby. He was beautiful as a young god, with a face full of laughing appeal, and not less charming than the miniature set in crystals which Mastachelli bore among the wedding gifts; and the grace of him could not be matched, for his power of winning, when he had set his heart to the task. In whatever deed of skill and daring his prowess went before his knights and noblesーas, from childhood up, in whatever teaching from books or men, he had distanced all his comradesーwith that strange facility and fascination with which the Genius of Cyprus might have endowed her favorite in that lavish land, beloved of the gods, where her great sea-bound plains were billows of flowers under a long summer sky, and Nature's gifts came crowding, each upon each, in bewildering redundancy.＜/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！】Letters to an Unknown【電子書籍】[ Prosper M?rim?e ]

＜p＞I MET M?rim?e frequently in society. He was a tall man, erect in his bearing, pale, and, excepting his smile, had the appearance of an Englishman; he had, at all events, that cold, distant manner which forbids in advance any attempt at familiarity. Merely to see him one was impressed by his callousness, either natural or acquired, by his self-control, by his determined self-repression. On ceremonious occasions, especially, the immobility of his countenance was conspicuously manifest. Even in the society of his intimate friends, and when relating a witty anecdote, his voice retained its habitual calmness and tranquillity, with never an outburst, never a sign of enthusiasm. The drollest details he described in the most precise language, in the tone of a man asking for a cup of tea. All evidences of sensibility he had mastered until it seemed a quality absent from his nature. Not that it was soーquite the contrary; but race-horses there are so well trained that, once under their master’s hand, they never so much as make a sudden start. His training, it must be said, had begun early. When ten or eleven years old, I imagine, having committed some impropriety, he was scolded severely and sent from the room. Weeping and in great distress, he was just closing the door when he heard laughter within the room, and some one said: “Poor child! he believes we are really angry with him!” Intolerable to him was the idea of being a dupe, and he resolved thereupon to overcome a sensitiveness which had caused him such humiliation. He kept his word. “Remember to mistrust,” such was his motto. To guard against every manifestation of pleasure, never to abandon himself unreservedly to the expression of emotion, to be tricked neither by others nor by himself, in his conduct and his writings to have in view the constant presence of an unsympathetic, mocking spectator; to be himself that spectatorーthese are the most distinguishing characteristics of his nature, of which every phase of his life, of his work, and of his talent bears the imprint. His attitude was always that of an amateur; it can hardly be otherwise with one who is endowed with the critical temperament. From turning the tapestry around and around, one ends by seeing nothing but the wrong side; and thus, instead of lovely figures, gracefully posed, one sees only the rough bits of embroidery silk. To such a one, it is irksome with forbearance to engage in any public work; to cast in his lot even with the party of his choice, with the school of his preference, the science which he pursues, the art in which he excels; and if, at times, he descends voluntarily into the contest, more frequently he regards it from afar. At an early age he was placed in comfortable circumstances, then in an employment which was both congenial and interesting, that of Inspector of Historic Monuments. He then succeeded to a seat in the Senate Chamber, and later to a post at court. As Inspector of Historic Monuments, he was capable, painstaking, and valuable; in the Senate he had the good taste to be usually absent or silent; at court, he enjoyed perfect freedom of action and of speech. To travel, to study, to mingle with men and affairs, such was his real occupation, and his official claims proved no restraint to the indulgence of his tastes. We must remember, too, that a man of such genius compels respect, even in the face of obstacles. His irony pierces the best case-hardened armour. Let us see with what ease and grace he handles it, even to the point of directing it against himself, thus making a double shot.＜/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。
