The scale of their ambition was breathtaking. Drawing on the latest navigational science and the new spirit of enterprise and discovery sweeping the Tudor capital, they sought a northern passage to Asia and its riches. The success of the expedition depended on its two leaders: Sir Hugh Willoughby, a brave gentleman soldier, and Richard Chancellor, a brilliant young scientist and practical man of the sea. When their ships became separated in a storm, each had to fend for himself. Their fates were sharply divided. One returned to England, to recount extraordinary tales of the imperial court of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The tragic, mysterious story of the other two ships has had to be pieced together through the surviving captain's log book, after he and his crew became lost and trapped by the advancing Arctic winter. This exceptional endeavour was one of the boldest in British history, and its impact was profound. Although the "merchant adventurers" failed to reach China as they had hoped, their achievements would lay the foundations for England's expansion on a global stage. As James Evans' vivid account shows, their voyage also makes for a moving story of daring, discovery, tragedy, and adventure.

【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！】Musings of a Private Man【電子書籍】[ William A. Horstman ]

＜p＞The most important thing I learned about Bill was his experience with Carl Sagan’s book Contact. There is a story in this collection that Bill wrote called Contact. It’s not a finished piece, nor is it a very cohesive piece, but the experience he is trying to capture is one of the most fascinating and extraordinary events I have ever heard of, and it’s something I will never forget. As you’ll read, when Bill was about 30 years old, he was on a flight home from California, and he had the book Contact that he began reading on that flight. Early in the book a few things jump out to Bill. First, the location of the novel begins in a Wisconsin town near a lake, just like how Bill had grown up near Lake Michigan. Then we find out the main character has lost her father while she’s in grade school, in a sudden way, just as Bill had. But to confirm that this book, which Carl Sagan wrote in 1985, was indeed connected to Bill, was the passage that read his exact name. The sentence is: Billy Horstman, who sat next to her, gently reached out and placed his hand over hers. This book was created by Sally Riessen Hunt (Horstman), Brooke Laufer and Barbara Monier, who together lovingly gathered and organized Bill’s writings with the shared conviction that he was a wondrous man.＜/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！】Thoughtscape Word Drops【電子書籍】[ Betsy Boo ]

＜p＞Do our words and reason cause life and death, and how can it be done? In fairness to all humanity and cultures. I always wondered if there is anything more to our lives than what we believe is living. Did I know that the Bible verses could be used to understand the real reason for our being? Looking at the whole picture ahead and beyond, My path in time turned in a specific direction. It wasn't planned for my future of material possessions. I wanted to save, travel, or maybe go into politics, as I grew up with parents having political conversations in the house. But we had to find the answer to life's most complex problems somewhere. But as a teenager, like most people my age, I went out and about with friends. One night, my life took a turn. I became a rape victim, which changed the course of my plans. Immensely, I was married at 16 for eight years, and the first child was born in 1962. Three followed, and I lost my late husband in 1970 by drowning. While raising four children alone, I wondered why they were created and what the reason was. I see friends and family all running around saying and doing the same things against each other, getting nowhere, and repeating the same mistakes against each other. As my wonder grew, I realised there had to be more to our lives than what we were experiencing. I heard a lot. We grew up hearing these wise old sayings. What was the reasoning behind them? That being said, there just had to be a purpose. With a lot of trial and error over the years and putting it all together, I found a way. The repetition of words in life will happen over the next generation. The same old things occur time after time and again in a generation if not corrected. The messages of wisdom and unspoken words came to me. I put the pieces together in my family tree and my mind. The more I mused, the more I thought there had to be a way. As said before, I probably repeat sentences in chapters, but that is okay for each time I improve or add more to the sentence. If one understands and has heard part of this book from family or relations, it is essential to write down the date, month, and day hours. Just keep a record of your time of knowledge as this puts one on a level; in our families, even though they didn't know one another, the wise wisdom of words still flew around and was spoken about in different family trees. This book shows a way to use our words in verses from the bible; as one can see when reading this book, it shows how we can use any word. In this book, explain what I've written and why I put pen to paper. I will discuss my theories, insight, vision, wonder since birth, nursery rhymes and old-time sayings, good and bad words, and other uses. And how every word shows our actions through life and has good meaning. We all got part of the bible verses coming down family trees. By putting pen to paper, I became aware of what passage we should follow and that there is more to our lives than growing up, getting married, having children retire, old age, and dying. I have repeated some chapters from my first two books in this book. LIFE MOST COMPLEX PROBLEMS, author Betsy boo, and LIFE BIGGEST JIGSAW PUZZLE. Author, Elizabeth Campbell. Cargill as each one leads into the following passage. Each one leads to the next one for improvement. This book, THOUGHT-SCAPE, will come under author Betsy boo. How enlightening this has come to me by checking words in bible verses is just so interesting. It heals the body This book outlined a few of the vital Parts from my first two books, Let Us Put Our War of Words to Good Use. Good or bad. The survival of human life and this planet.＜/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 Insider Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature【電子書籍】[ Gerald Howard ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A delightful and majestic reckoning with the ascent of American fiction in the twentieth century through the prism of the under-known man who had an astonishing amount to do with it＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Malcolm Cowley is not a household name today, but the American literary canon would look very different without him. A prototypical “man of letters” of his generationーHarvard University, a volunteer in the French ambulance corps in World War I, a rite of passage in Paris after the warーhe became one of the few truly influential critics of the 1920s and ’30s, along with his close ＜em＞New Republic＜/em＞ colleague Edmund Wilson. Cowley’s early support of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and their setーand indeed for framing this group in generational terms in the first placeーsecured his place in literary history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most people are lucky to be part of a single game-changing era in their careers; for Cowley, it happened again and again. After emerging from the political fray of the thirties badly damaged, he retreated behind the scenes as a tastemaker whose import has awaited Gerald Howard to be brought into full view. The process of canon formation is a murky business, and Cowley was a prime mover in it for the better part of four decades, through the Lost Generation, the Beat Generation, and the counterculture of the sixties. Without him, the odds would be much longer that the names William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Ken Kesey, to name just three, would have ever echoed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Insider＜/em＞, Gerald Howard gives an intimate accounting of the fever graph of a fascinating and multifaceted career in the literary trade that uses that career to tell a much bigger story of how American literature took the course that it did from the 1920s to the 1960s. It’s a story of an art form, and an industry, and a country experiencing wrenching change, and the people who made a home in the storm and in no small part shaped it. Howard’s own career as a literary weathermaker is justly acclaimed, and he has brought all his talents of head and heart to bear in crafting this extraordinary book. It’s a gift to booklovers and a major contribution to the cultural history of this country.＜/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＞"La Grenadi?re" is one of Balzac's shorter works and is considered a part of his "Scenes from Provincial Life" ("Sc?nes de la vie de province") series. The story is set in the Loire Valley, a region that Balzac often used as a backdrop for his narratives.The plot revolves around a widowed woman named Madame Willemsens, who lives in a charming countryside house called La Grenadi?re. She has retreated to this idyllic setting to escape the pressures of Parisian society. The story explores Madame Willemsens's past and present, her emotions, and the memories associated with the house. It also delves into themes of nostalgia, lost love, and the passage of time."La Grenadi?re" is known for its lyrical and descriptive style, with Balzac vividly portraying the natural beauty of the Loire Valley and the emotional depth of his characters.

【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 Symphony of Luminous Shadows A Song for the Fractured City【電子書籍】[ Alyssa Veyron ]

＜p＞Vienna, a city once echoing with the harmonious pulse of life, now shimmers with the fractured remnants of a symphony gone awry. Decades after the enigmatic conductor Aelric Vanthel vanished during the premiere of his magnum opus, his music lingers, a phantom limb twisting reality itself. Buildings warp and whisper, memories blur, and emotions amplify, leaving the city teetering on the edge of the imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Blind composer Eleni Veyra navigates this distorted world with an uncanny sensitivity. For her, the city's fractured soundscape isn't a barrier but a language she intimately understands. Drawn by an ancient score that echoes in her dreams, Eleni seeks solace in the dangerous allure of Sonatasilk, a shimmering thread spun from the dreams of forgotten composers. It promises passage into a world of tangible sound, a realm where melodies take form, and where Eleni must confront the terrifying beauty of Aelric’s broken symphony.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With each shimmering strand of Sonatasilk, Eleni plunges deeper into vibrant, surreal soundscapes. A forest of escalating crescendos threatens to consume her in a cacophony of distorted beauty, while desolate plains echo with fragmented memories and the spectral warnings of Aelric’s lost love. In the terrifying void of silent notes, Eleni confronts the infinite potential of music ? and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But Eleni isn’t alone in this fractured city. The Cadence Guild, a secretive order determined to control music’s power, hunts her relentlessly, viewing her unique connection to the symphony as a dangerous weapon. And as their silent agents close in, Eleni finds an unlikely ally in Rhys Malcolm, a disillusioned Guild member who sees the suffocating effects of their control.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Together, they must navigate the city's hidden passages, decipher the ancient score, and disable the Guild’s network of sonic dampeners, reawakening Vienna’s silenced voice. But their actions draw the attention of the Guild’s enigmatic leader, Silas Thorne, a man who believes silence is the ultimate form of order.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a final, breathtaking crescendo at the very concert hall where Aelric's symphony premiered, Eleni must confront Thorne and his forces. Armed with her newfound understanding of the ancient score, she will weave a counter-melody, a symphony of luminous shadows, to rewrite the fractured reality. But can she harness the symphony's power without succumbing to its chaotic allure, or will Vienna be forever silenced?＜/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！】Reality Checkmate【電子書籍】[ Daniel Ruiz ]

＜p＞A dynamic and philosophical debut collection, Daniel Ruiz’s ＜em＞Reality Checkmate＜/em＞ choreographs the endless wrestling match between lyrical sensibility and ontological principles taking place on the mind’s stage. These poems exquisitely demonstrate that phenomena in the material world are rarely as simple as they seem and yet must continually confront the universe’s countermoveーthe constraints of life itself, the knowledge that all we truly have is the present moment and the face value of our perceptions. He succinctly summarizes the history of art as cultural capitalー“all of us are / eternally punished with proving / literature is about literature after all”ーwhile revealing the redundancies and blind spots of intellectualismー“Meanwhile, a lost sheep / finds grass to eat anywhere it wants, / and does not mind, / like Lorca, letting its hair grow long.” While ＜em＞Reality Checkmate＜/em＞ delights in the cerebral mode, its celebration of relativity as well as the lush materiality of language yields equal imagery and musicality, upholding sensory experience and human relationships as existentially significant in the absence of absolute truths. In Ruiz’s astonishing first book, dawn is not morningーor rather, not merely morning. “Madrugada” rejects a navel-gazing discourse on sentimentality and the passage of days, commanding that “you for whom meaning / is the meaning of beauty, be gone.” We could spend our whole lives ideating a metaphysics of time and waste the wonder of sunlight right in front of us. “Meanwhile, / the clouds are proud of all of us. It’s 12:01. / A man dragged by a poodle says / Good morning. Everyone in the orchestra / stands up at once.”＜/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。

The barrage was screaming well over and dropping far back, and their wire was still all right just in front of them, when they put up a head to look. There was the left platoon of the battalion. One doesn’t bother, somehow, so much about another battalion as one’s own. One’s own gets sort of homely. And there they were wondering how their own officer was getting on, and the few fellows with them, on his defensive flank. The bombs were going off thick. All the Daleswood men were firing half right. It sounded from the noise as if it couldn’t last long, as if it would soon be decisive, and the battle be won, or lost, just there on the right, and perhaps the war ended. They didn’t notice the left. Nothing to speak of.”＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This passage exemplifies Dunsany’s ability to convey the intensity and immediacy of the wartime experience, making “Tales of War” a poignant and impactful read.

When an act of sabotage aims to slow down a technological breakthrough in American clean energy, it puts the United States on the brink of war with one of its closest allies. Tension boils on the homefront, too, as gas prices surge to an all-time high. To prevent global catastrophe, Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk Jr. and Summer, must piece together what little records remain of the initial experiment. They may not know how it was done, but they know what their scientists were trying to accomplish: a solution for global warming. Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived from that doomed mission. And if Pitt, his family, and his buddy Al Giordino aren't careful, the very same fate may await them...and the world.

タイトル: Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska--Including Extensive Hitherto Unpublished Passages from the Original Journal著者: Rockwell Kent出版社: Wesleyan University Press出版日: 1996年07月26日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。A new paperback edition of Kent's first book, often referred to as "Alaska's Walden."In August 1918 Rockwell Kent and his 9-year-old son settled into a primitive cabin on an island near Seward, Alaska. Kent, who during the next three decades became America's premier graphic artist, printmaker, and illustrator, was seeking time, peace, and solitude to work on his art and strengthen ties with his son. This reissue of the journal chronicling their 7-month odyssey describes what Kent called "an adventure of the spirit." He soon discovers how deeply he is "stirred by simple happenings in a quiet world" as man and boy face both the mundane and the magnificent: satisfaction in simple chores like woodchopping or baking; the appalling gloom of long and lonely winter nights; hours of silence while each works at his drawings; crystalline moonlight glancing off a frozen lake; killer whales cavorting in their bay. Richly illustrated by Kent's drawings, the journal vividly re-creates that sense of great height and space -- both external and internal -- at the same time that it celebrates a wilderness now nearly lost to us.

【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！】Shores of the Polar Sea "A Narrative of Arctic Expedition"【電子書籍】[ Edward L. Moss ]

＜p＞HE ARCTIC EXPEDITION of 1875 left England on 29th May, crossed the Atlantic to Davis Straits in a succession of storms, and entered the Arctic regions on 4th July. It sailed with orders to "attain the highest northern latitude, and, if possible, reach the Pole." In old times, when voyages were longer than in these days of steam, a nautical frolic on crossing "the Line" helped to break the monotony of many a tedious passage. This time-honoured custom is slowly becoming a thing of the past. When it is gone, there will be little in sea or sky to make crossing the Equator in any way remarkable. The Tropic Zones are no better defined, and one can sail into or out of them without experiencing a sin-gle impressive sensation. But the Arctic Circle has obvious boundaries. A conspicuous change in the ordinary habits of nature warns the traveller that he is leaving the hospitable realms of earth behind him, and entering a region full of new experiences. Here familiar light and darkness cease to alternate, morning and evening no longer make the day, and in proportion as the latitude increases, day and night become mere figures of speech. While our two ships steamed northward along the west shores of Greenland, the novel charm of constant daylight was felt by every one. We all had our own ideas of what Arctic summer would be like, but ideas drawn from books rarely remain unchanged when brought face to face with reality. Although the passage into perpetual day was of course gradual, yet it was quite rapid enough to upset all regular habits. Most of us observed sadly irregular hours, but one energetic fellow-voyager, bent on making the most of his opportunities, stopped up for three days at a stretch. Our squadron consisted of H.M.SS. "Alert," "Discovery," and "Valorous," the latter vessel accompanying the Expedition as far as Disco, for the purpose of helping it so far northwards with its heavy stock of three years' provisions and fuel. On entering Davis Straits no one of the ships had the least idea where the others were. They had been separated in a cyclone on 13th June, and had crossed the Atlantic independently. Fortunately, how-ever, all three turned up almost simultaneously off the west coast of Greenland. Four days before crossing the Arctic Circle, the "Alert" and "Discovery" met under the rugged coast near Godhaab. As the ships approached, each anxiously scanned the other to see what damage had been done by the Atlantic storms. Boats soon passed from ship to ship, and it was amusing to note how both men and officers of either ship (the writer included) already placed the firmest faith in their own vessel, and underrated the seaworthiness of her consort. It was positively quite disappointing to find that the "Discovery's" spars were all right, and that she, like ourselves, had lost but one boat. Of course we congratulated each other on our good fortune; and good fortune it was, for our light, beautifully built boats could not be replaced, and few ships, heavily laden both below and on deck as ours were, would have passed through such weather without more serious loss..＜/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！】Pragmatic Vision Obama and the Enactment of the Affordable Care Act【電子書籍】[ Meena Bose ]

＜p＞On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, providing every American with the opportunity to have guaranteed health care coverage. The Affordable Care Actーfrequently referred to as Obamacareーis almost synonymous with Obama’s presidential legacy and reflects a series of key decisions that he made beginning before he took office. As Meena Bose shows, it was Obama’s particular brand of pragmatic politics that ultimately shaped the passage of the Affordable Care Act and made a lasting mark on health care reform in the United States.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Pragmatic Vision＜/em＞ examines eight of Obama’s decisions that resulted in the landmark enactment of health care reform, starting with his commitment to health care reform in the 2008 presidential campaign and concluding with his decision to allow for flexibility with its implementation, following technical hurdles and Supreme Court rulings. Bose shows that Obama’s steadfast commitment to the issue was crucial to its passing, especially after the Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Obama’s direct engagement built key political support for the legislation and was aided by the senior White House staff and Democratic leaders in Congress who skillfully navigated the bill to passage just fourteen months after Obama took office.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story of Obama’s leadership in enacting the Affordable Care Act is a tale of today’s partisan divide and the polarization of Congress. The legislation passed on a party-line vote and continued to divide politicians long after its passage. Nevertheless, despite repeated efforts by Republicans to repeal the law, it is more popular today than ever and seems destined to remain in force until the next stage of reform. ＜em＞Pragmatic Vision＜/em＞ is an authoritative guide to this singular achievement of the Obama administration.＜/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。
