【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！】Narrow Gauge Panorama Steaming Along the Rustic and Narrow【電子書籍】[ James Waite ]

＜p＞This is James Waite's second book for Pen & Sword about narrow gauge railways. He has travelled extensively in search of interesting, and often obscure, railways in remote locations. His previous book looked at the narrow gauge scene around the world and how many of its historic railways were surviving in the twenty first century. This new volume looks at some of them in greater detail and uses much hitherto unpublished material. The book is full of attractive and rarely seen photos. Some of them depict railways that were in their last days of everyday use, while others show heritage operations which still look much as they did when the trains were running commercially.＜/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 richly illustrated guide to modeling the military Land Rover, filled with previously unseen inspirational photographs and drawings.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ The Land Rover was originally designed to fill a gap in the Rover Car Company's post-war product portfolio.

【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！】Douglas DC-3 The Airliner that Revolutionised Air Transport【電子書籍】[ Robert Jackson ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A guide to the plane that changed commercial aviation: "A whopping 109 color photos shows kits in various stages of completion . . . Enjoyed it." ー ＜em＞Historical Miniatures Gaming Society＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ No airliner in the history of commercial aviation has had a more profound effect than the Douglas DC-3. Reliable and easy to maintain, it carried passengers in greater comfort than ever before.＜br /＞ Its origins stem from a design by the Douglas Aircraft Company of Santa Monica, California. Known as the Douglas Commercial One, or DC-1, this new aircraft was revolutionary in concept. It was quickly developed into the DC-2, which led to Douglas' domination of the domestic air routes of the United States, and of half the world.＜br /＞ Experience with the DC-2 led to an improved version, the Douglas Sleeper Transport (DST), first flown on December 17, 1935. This in turn evolved into a 21-seat variant, the DC-3, featuring many improvements. The first American Airlines DC-3 entered service in June 1936, and within three years of its introduction the aircraft accounted for a staggering 95 percent of all US commercial air traffic. From commencement of service to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the DC-3 increased domestic revenue passenger miles more than fivefold. Of the 322 aircraft operated by the country's airlines in December 1941, 260 were DC-3s. At the pre-war peak, 30 foreign airlines operated the DC-3. On the eve of war, the DC-3's scheduled flights represented 90 percent of international air traffic.＜br /＞ In addition to over 600 civil examples of the DC-3, 10,048 military C-47 variants were built, as well as 4,937 produced under license in the USSR as the Lisunov Li-2 and 487 built by Showa and Nakajima in Japan as the L2D. After the war, thousands of surplus C-47s were converted for civilian use. These aircraft became the standard equipment of almost all the world's airlines, remaining in frontline service for many years. The ready availability of cheap, easily maintained ex-military C-47s, large and fast by the standards of the day, jump-started the worldwide postwar air transport industry.＜br /＞ The full remarkable story of the DC-3, and its ancestor the DC-2, is told in these pages, providing a wealth of information for the modeler and the enthusiast alike.＜/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 comprehensive history of the development and use of cameras in recording British military conflicts from the 1850s to the 1950s.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Books about war and the pictures that came out of conflict usually concentrate on the picture content. But behind every picture there is a cameraーand that's what this book is about. Profusely illustrated throughout with pictures of the cameras, rather than the pictures they took, it looks at one hundred years of conflict from the Crimean War to the Korean War. It begins in the days when a photographer needed to be more of a scientist than an artist, such were the difficulties of shooting and processing any photograph. It ends with the cameras whose compact dimensions, versatility and ease of use meant that photographers could largely forget the science and concentrate on the art. Some cameras simply recorded events. Others defined and changed the way those events proceeded. These were the cameras that went to war, and this is their story.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞Cameras at War＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"An amazing collection of superb photographs beginning with some from the Crimean Warーcoupled with a brilliant narrative that emphasizes the use of photography to record conflict.

【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！】Fashion & Family History Interpreting How Your Ancestors Dressed【電子書籍】[ Jayne Shrimpton ]

＜p＞＜strong＞This illustrated volume explores what fashion history can reveal about the lives of your British ancestors.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ As Britain evolved from an agrarian society into an urban-industrial nation, dress was transformed. Traditional rural styles gave way to modern city modes, workwear, and holiday attire. Women sewed at home, while advanced textiles and mass-produced goods brought affordable fashion to ordinary people. Many of our predecessors worked as professional garment-makers, laundresses or in other related tradesーand they used those skills when caring for their own clothes.＜br /＞ The Victorians observed strict etiquette through special costumes for Sundays, marriage, and mourning. Poorer families struggled to maintain standards while young single workers spent their wages on clothes and the older generation cultivated their own discreet style. Twentieth-century dress grew more relaxed and democratic as popular culture influenced fashion for recent generations who enjoyed sports, cinema, music, and dancing.＜/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！】Edward Elgar Music, Life and Landscapes【電子書籍】[ Christopher Grogan ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The first full-length study of the English composer's complex interaction with his physical environment, and its new relevance in the 21st century.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ More perhaps than any other composer, Edward Elgar (1857-1934) has gained the status of an "icon of locality," his music seemingly inextricably linked to the English landscape in which he worked. This, the first full-length study of Elgar's complex interaction with his physical environment, explores how it is that such associations are formed and whether it is in any sense true that Elgar alchemized landscape into music.＜br /＞ It argues that Elgar stands at the apex of an English tradition, going back to Blake, in which creative artists in all media have identified and warned against the self-harm of environmental degradation and that, following a period in which these ideas were swept away by the swift but shallow tide of Modernism in the decades after the First World War, they have since resurfaced with a new relevance and urgency for twenty-first century society.＜br /＞ Written with the non-specialist in mind, yet drawing on the rich resources of post-millennial scholarship on Elgar, as well as geographical studies of place, the book also includes many new insights relating to such aspects of Elgar's output as his use of landscape typology in ＜em＞The Apostles＜/em＞, and his encounter with Modernism in the late chamber music. It also calls on the resources of contemporary social commentary, poetry and, especially, English landscape art to place Elgar and his thought in the broader cultural milieu of his time. A survey of recent recordings is included, in the hope that listeners, both familiar and unfamiliar with Elgar's music, will feel inspired to embark on a voyage of (re)discovery of its endlessly rewarding treasures.＜/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＞Rachel E. Dubrofsky examines the reality TV series ＜em＞The Bachelor＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Bachelorette＜/em＞ in one of the first book-length feminist analysis of the reality TV genre. The research found in ＜em＞The Surveillance of Women on Reality TV: Watching＜/em＞ The Bachelor ＜em＞and＜/em＞ The Bachelorette meets the growing need for scholarship on the reality genre. This book asks us to be attentive to how the surveillance context of the program impacts gendered and racialized bodies. Dubrofsky takes up issues that cut across the U.S. cultural landscape: the use of surveillance in the creation of entertainment products, the proliferation of public confession and its configuration as a therapeutic tool, the ways in which women's displays of emotion are shown on television, the changing face of popular feminist discourse (notions of choice and empowerment), and the recentering of whiteness in popular media.＜/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＞This comprehensive and fully illustrated history presents an in-depth look at the Great Western Railway's various pannier tank engines.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Though hauling freight was a vital part of Great Western Railway's historyーand where it made the majority of its profitーthere are few books devoted to the stout, powerful engines that did the work. In ＜em＞Great Western, Pannier Tank Classes＜/em＞, British Railways expert David Maidment corrects that oversight. This volume explores the large number of 0-6-0 saddle tanks built for both the Great Western Railway and the independent railway companies in South Wales, most of which were converted to pannier tanks in the Churchward and Collett eras.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While covering the Armstrong and Dean engines in detail, Maidment goes on to describe the design, construction and operation of the largest class of steam engines built in the UK in the last century: Charles Collett's GWR 5700 class, examples of which were still being built after nationalization. Collett also designed pannier tank engines for branch passenger and freight work, and his successor Frederick Hawksworth continued the GW tradition with a tapered boiler version. All of these are discussed in depth in terms of their design and service. A concluding chapter covers further designs that were never built.＜/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＞Thirteen sensational tales of sex, lies, violence, and murder from the early decades of Hollywood.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ The dawning of the nineteenth century brought with it a new era for entertainment. Vaudeville was the preferred form of entertainment, until the popularization of the silent film. This new medium proved to be a draw for many of the stars of the Vaudevillian stage and soon they migrated to the exciting possibilities that the movies had to offer. Audiences were instantly captivated by the stars of the silent screen. The early days of Hollywood were full of glamour and a newfound decadence. The stars in these films were catapulted to fame and fortune and the spotlight of the public eye. But the real people behind the glamour were far different from the characters that audiences knew and loved, and much like Hollywood today, the lives of the stars were often full of scandal and debauchery.＜br /＞ This book examines the forgotten scandals of Hollywood's early years, featuring silent and silver screen stars like Jean Harlow, Mae West, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Errol Flynn. Don't let the romanticized black and white world of yesterday fool you.

【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！】Early Railways A Guide for the Modeller【電子書籍】[ Peter Chatham ]

＜p＞＜strong＞History, references, and resources for modeling the earliest decades of British rail travel.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a guide to the earliest period of railway history, from the very beginnings of steam traction at the start of the nineteenth century, up to about 1880. Over these few decades the railways evolved from something that at the start was markedly different, into a scene that any present-day railwayman would recognize. It is a time with much to commend it from a modeler's point of view. The trains were much shorter and therefore easier to fit into the limited space most of us have available as, correspondingly, were the station layouts, especially at the beginning of the period. Covering infrastructure, locomotives, carriages, and wagons, this is an invaluable resource for those who want to explore the modeling possibilities of nineteenth-century railways.＜/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！】Decoding the Bayeux Tapestry The Secrets of History's Most Famous Embroidery Hidden in Plain Sight【電子書籍】[ Arthur Colin Wright ]

＜p＞＜strong＞For the first time, a scholar reveals the meaning of the marginal images on the Bayeux Tapestry, unlocking a completely new meaning of the work.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story of the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings as shown in the Bayeux Tapestry is arguably the most widely-known in the panoply of English history, and over the last 200 years there have been hundreds of books on the Tapestry seeking to analyze its meanings. Yet, there is one aspect of the embroidery that has been virtually ignored or dismissed as unimportant by historiansーthe details in the margins.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The fables shown in the margins are neither just part of a decorative ribbon, nor are they discontinuous. They follow on in sequence. When this is understood, it becomes clear that they must relate to the action shown on the body of the Tapestry. After careful examination, the purpose of these images is to amplify, elaborate, or explain the main story.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this groundbreaking study, Arthur Wright reveals the significance of the images in the margins. Now it is possible to see the "whole" story as never before, enabling a more complete picture of the Bayeux Tapestry to be constructed. Wright reexamines many of the scenes in the main body of the work, showing that a number of the basic assumptions, so often taught as facts, have been based on nothing more than reasoned conjecture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It might be thought that after so much has been written about the Bayeux Tapestry there was nothing more to be said, but ＜em＞Decoding the Bayeux Tapestry＜/em＞ shows how much there is still to be learned.＜/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。
