【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！】Two Tears on the Window an ordinary Canadian couple disappears in China【電子書籍】[ Julia & Kevin Garratt ]

＜p＞Two Tears on the Window, is Julia and Kevin Garratt’s true story of their 775-day abduction and imprisonment in China as pawns in a political play between China, Canada and the United States. In August 2014 State Security agents grabbed them, accusing them of espionage. In shock, they were unaware of a Chinese spy arrest in Canada, giving the US “some leverage over China to bring a stop to more than a decade of rampant cybertheft” or that they’d become “bargaining chips in China’s desperate countermove”. (Graff, Garrett M. “How the US Forced China to Quit StealingーUsing a China Spy”. Wired Magazine. October 11, 2018) This compelling story of a Canadian Christian couple who spent 30 years working and raising their family in China, involved in aid, education and social enterprise is a unique parallel journey. From the early days teaching English in a decade of ration coupons and collective work units, Kevin and Julia watched with admiration as China catapulted into the modern age with unprecedented speed. Well-loved in China, the Garratt’s had always been thanked for their work in education, social welfare, social enterprises and community service. In 2007, along with two of their children, they moved to the China/North Korea border, opened a popular coffee shop and provided aid and assistance for marginalized communities in Dandong, China and North Korea. Their sudden disappearance plunged them into a journey where survival took every breath. Through their harrowing ordeal and intense suffering comes life-changing insight. They find themselves part of new community of those who’ve tasted yet overcome the pain of injustice. Courage and kindness, friendship and faith, resonates through the ordeal with the heartbeat of a love journey. Artfully written, Two Tears in the Window combines Kevin’s gifted story-telling and humour with Julia’s ability to let you see through their eyes and draw readers into deeply painful yet profoundly life-changing experiences.＜/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！】Discovering Cat Island Photographs and History【電子書籍】[ John Cuevas ]

＜p＞Cat Island, just off the Mississippi Gulf Coast shoreline, has been home to some of the most dramatic events and remarkable stories in the nation's history. While some of these stories are fact, others are colorful fables passed down through the ages with such conviction they have become true in the hearts and minds of many. Between fact and fiction is the undeniable reality: Cat Island is one of the most historically significant landmarks on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Featuring over 160 black-and-white photographs by Jason Taylor and a foreword by Mississippi's Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, John Cuevas's ＜em＞Discovering Cat Island＜/em＞ guides readers through Cat Island with stories and histories of twenty-nine sites--both real and imagined--of the legendary barrier island. Originally owned by the Cuevas family as part of a Spanish land grant to Juan de Cuevas in 1781, Cat Island boasts a colorful history that includes events related to the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte and the outlaw James Copeland, both of whom were thought to have buried their stolen treasure somewhere on the island; the Battle of New Orleans; and the War of 1812. The island served as one of the staging areas for the Seminole forced to abandon their homes and take part in the Trail of Tears. In the twentieth century, the island was a convenient transfer point for gangsters and local bootleggers shipping booze during Prohibition before becoming a US military training camp site during World War II. In 1988, Cat Island became the location of the first oil drilling ever in the Mississippi Sound and in 2010 was one of the islands devastated by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.＜/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！】Poetry Against Terror【電子書籍】[ Fabrizio Frosini ]

＜p＞Terrorism, which is one of the most important topics in the world today, refers to any act designed to cause 'terror' by means of violence or the threat of violence. As a fundamental rule, terrorism is politically and emotionally charged, because it is meant to instill fear within, and thereby intimidate people ? an entire country or even the whole world. Terrorism is certainly frightening, but the best way we can fight it is by living our lives without terror.＜br /＞ At the UN webpage on terrorism, we read: "Countering this scourge is in the interest of all nations and the issue has been on the agenda of the United Nations for decades."＜br /＞ Now we can understand why Poets from 43 different countries have written a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and to the Presidents of each of the countries whence they come from.＜br /＞ As stated in the letter to Mr Ban Ki-moon: “Through the poems, we wish to express our unanimous desire for universal peace and to add our voice to those other unequivocal voices at the United Nations who say 'NO' to the scourge of terrorism”.＜br /＞ It is a symbolic gesture, but it highlights their commitment as "Poets against Terror".＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Fabrizio Frosini, the publisher, says: “I started this editorial project after the murdering of so many innocents in Paris, on November 13, 2015, as a tribute to them and to the countless other victims of terror, worldwide. I started the project, but it is a collective book: a compilation of poems written by poets from 43 different countries, worldwide, who believe in peace and brotherhood, and are against any kind of 'terror'.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Other voices of the Poets:＜/p＞ ＜p＞This project is about compassion for the victims of terrorism, it's a celebration of a simple equation: 'violence = more violence; peace = peace'. We have made it clear, we are not debating causes, but mourning a particular 'effect' which is the intentional murder of innocents''. - D.J. Brick, USA＜/p＞ ＜p＞As someone born in Sri Lanka, a country that will always be remembered as the birth place of the suicide bombing, I can only offer my own tears to lessen the pain and to heal from this terrible plague and my own sweat to lay one brick to build a universal home for peace. - D. Gunawardana, Sri Lanka＜/p＞ ＜p＞Наши потери мучительны, но террор - это инструмент манипуляции через запугивание, поэтому нам следует искать истинные причины, а не реагировать слепо.＜br /＞ Our losses are painful, but terror is a tool of manipulation via frightening, so we should search for the true reasons and not react blindly. - G. Italyanskaya, Russia＜/p＞ ＜p＞The most difficult aspect to accept about all the senseless violence in the world is the fact that we are doing this to each other, and that by now negative political, religious and social dynamics have become so complex that it is hard to believe in a better future. Therefore, each person must begin with him- or herself in contributing peace and non-violent solutions to our shared humanity. - B. B. Linder, Germany＜/p＞ ＜p＞Iwe neni tikabatana, nyika inobudirira (in Shona)＜br /＞ You are because I am, together we can make the world a better place - T.

【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 Deaf House【電子書籍】[ Joanne Weber ]

＜p＞The Deaf House is Joanne Weber’s life story. It illustrates the work and passion of a woman who grew up deaf and became an advocate for the deaf. It is a story of pain, loss and defeat balanced with joy, gain, and victory. Joanne Weber’s creative memoir, shows how deafness can be a brutal oppression of the mind. Her torment of not knowing exactly where she belonged in Deaf culture is revealed with blunt honesty, and in facing it, she constructed in her imagination “a deaf house”, where deafness was a sense of personhood, not a hearing loss, and language could be scorned and dismissed. After much internal turmoil, Weber realized that her inherent identity was that of a Deaf individual. The Deaf House details the struggles that resulted from her fierce attempt to protect that identity. Combining the narrative tools of a novelist with those of a documentarian, Weber effectively provides the reader with rare insight and profound truths about the lives of the deaf. It is a powerful story of an indomitable woman’s desire to discover her true self. “The Deaf House is an absolute must-read for every reader, especially parents of deaf and hard of hearing children, educators and administrators in the areas of deaf education, special education, and educational policy.” ー Gary Malkowski, L.H.D., formerly North America’s only Deaf Parliamentarian “In scene after poignant scene, Joanne Weber maps not only the deaf body, but also a woman’s life with its triumphs and sorrows. This is a love story and a family story, evoking both laughter and tears ー above all, it is a human story.” ー Jeanette Lynes, author of Archive of the Undressed＜/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！】Clara Vaughan (Complete)【電子書籍】[ R. D. Blackmore ]

＜p＞I do not mean to describe myself. Already I feel that the personal pronoun will appear too often in these pages. Knowing the faults of my character almost as well as my best friends know them, I shall attempt to hide them no more than would those beloved ones. Enough of this: the story I have to tell is strange, and short as my own its preamble. The day when I was ten years old began my serious life. It was the 30th of December, 1842; and proud was the kiss my loving father gave me for spelling, writing, and pronouncing the date in English, French, and Italian. No very wonderful feat, it is true, for a clever child well-taught; but I was by no means a clever child; and no one except my father could teach me a single letter. When, after several years of wedlock, my parents found new joy in me, their bliss was soon overhung with care. They feared, but durst not own the fear, lest the wilful, passionate, loving creature, on whom their hearts were wholly set, should be torn from their love to a distance greater than the void of death; in a word, should prove insane. At length they could no longer hide this terror from each other. One look told it all; and I vaguely remember my hazy wonder at the scene that followed. Like a thief, I came from the corner behind the curtain-loops, and trembled at my father's knee, for him to say something to me. Then frightened at his silence--a thing unknown to me--I pulled his hands from before his eyes, and found hot tears upon them. I coaxed him then, and petted him, and felt his sorrows through me; then made believe to scold him for being so naughty as to cry. But I could not get his trouble from him, and he seemed to watch me through his kisses. Before I had ceased to ponder dreamily over this great wonder, a vast event (for a child of seven) diverted me. Father, mother, and Tooty--for so I then was called--were drawn a long way by horses with yellow men upon them: from enlarged experience I infer that we must have posted to London. Here, among many marvels, I remember especially a long and mysterious interview with a kind, white-haired old gentleman, who wore most remarkable shoes. He took me upon his lap, which seemed to me rather a liberty; then he smoothed down my hair, and felt my head so much that I asked if he wanted to comb it, having made up my mind to kick if he dared to try such a thing. Then he put all sorts of baby questions to me which I was disposed to resent, having long discarded Cock Robin and Little Red-riding-hood. Unconsciously too, I was moved by Nature's strong hate of examination. But my father came up, and with tears in his eyes begged me to answer everything. Meanwhile my mother sat in a dark corner, as if her best doll was dying. With its innate pugnacity, my hazy intellect rose to the situation, and I narrowly heeded every thing＜/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＞How far can a lie go when it wears the face of love?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Valencia, Spain. In the quiet neighborhood of Patraix, a man is found stabbed to death in the underground garage of his home.

【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！】Life's Little Stage【電子書籍】[ Agnes Giberne ]

＜p＞SOME girls would be glad in your place. "It's just the other way with me." "Not that you have not been happy here. I know you have. Stillーhome is home." "This is my other home." Miss Mordaunt smiled. It was hardly in human nature not to be gratified. "If only I could have stayed two years longer! Or even one year! Father might let me. It's such a horrid bore to have to leave now." "But since no choice is left, you must make the best of things." The two stood facing one another in the bow-window of Miss Mordaunt's pretty drawing-room; tears in the eyes of the elder woman, for hers was a sympathetic nature; no tears in the eyes of the girl, but a sharp ache at her heart. Till the arrival of this morning's post she never quite lost hope, though notice of her removal was given months before. A final appeal, vehemently worded, after the writer's fashion, had lately gone; and the reply was decisive. Many a tussle of wills had taken place during the last four years between these two; and a time was when the pupil indulged in hard thoughts of the kind Principal. But Miss Mordaunt possessed power to win love; and though she found in Magda Royston a difficult subject, she conquered in the end. Out of battling grew strong affectionーhow strong on the side of Magda perhaps neither quite knew until this hour. "There isn't any 'best.' It's just simply horrid." "Still, if you are wanted at home, your duty lies there." "I'm not. That's the thing. Nobody wants me. Mother has Penrose; and father has Merryl; and FripーI mean, Francieーis the family pet. And I come in nowhere. I'm a sort of extraneous atom that can't coalesce with any other atom." A tinge of self-satisfaction crept into the tone. "It's not my fault. Nobody at home needs meーnot one least little bit. And there isn't a person in all the town that I care forーnot one blessed individual!" Miss Mordaunt seated herself on the sofa, drawing the speaker to her side, with a protesting touch. "There isn't. Pen snaps them all up. And if she didn't, it would come to the same thing. I'm not chummy with girlsーnever was. I had a real friend once; but he was a boy; and boys are so different. Ned Fairfax and I were immense chums; but he was years and years older than me; and he went right away when I was only eleven. I've never set eyes on him since, and I don't even know now what has become of him. Only I know we should be friends againーdirectlyーif ever we met! The girls and I get on well enough here, but we're not friends." "Except Beatrice." "Bee is a little dear, and I dote on her; and she worships the ground I tread on. But after allーthough she is more than a year older, she always seems the younger. And I'm much more to her than she is to me. Don't you see? I wouldn't say that to everybody, but it's true. I want something more than that, if it is to satisfy! Bee looks up to me. I want some one that I can look up to."＜/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！】Happiness in a Sober Glass: Why Everything You Thought Alcohol Gave You Was a Lie and How to Find True Joy【電子書籍】[ Elvin S. Roldan ]

＜p＞The celebration starts with a clink, the escape pours into a glass, and for a moment, the edge dulls. That's the promise alcohol sells: connection, courage, ease, relief. But somewhere between the first sip and the last swallow of the night, something more important quietly exits the room. It's not the buzz we chaseーit's the illusion. The lie that says we need it to feel alive, loved, or confident. This book confronts that illusion, not with finger-pointing or shame, but with clarity, reason, and empathy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Happiness in a Sober Glass"＜/strong＞ doesn't moralize or preach. It dissects. It opens a door that many hesitate to look behind. It recognizes that alcohol isn't just a drinkーit's a cultural script, a ritual of belonging, a deeply ingrained belief system. We drink to celebrate. We drink to grieve. We drink to unwind. And somewhere along the way, we start to believe that these moments are impossible without it. But the truth is simpler and harder: everything we thought alcohol gave usーpeace, connection, excitement, freedomーwas never real. And what's real is so much better.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from real-life stories and grounded personal insight, this book asks questions that make the reader pause: What does it actually feel like to wake up with a clear head and a clean conscience? What happens when your joy isn't chemically induced? How does your identity shift when it's no longer tied to what's in your hand at the party, the date, or the dinner table? These questions aren't theoretical. They're practical, lived, and tested.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For anyone who has ever asked themselves why one drink always turns into three, or why they feel anxious after every so-called fun night out, this book offers more than answers. It offers a reframing. A way to reclaim joy from a source that never owned it in the first place. And it starts by stripping alcohol of the powers we've projected onto it. Alcohol doesn't make you socialーyou always were. It doesn't make you interestingーyour stories did. It doesn't make you confidentーpractice and discomfort did that.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores the mechanics of why alcohol tricks us. How it manipulates brain chemistry, hijacks our reward system, and slowly rewires how we view pleasure and coping. It breaks down the social constructs that make abstaining feel like rebellion and drinking feel like conformity. It tracks the quiet erosion of authenticity when drinking becomes the centerpiece of personality, and it shows what it looks like to build a life where you are fully presentーfor the beauty, the boredom, and everything in between.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Readers will explore the psychological contracts we unconsciously sign with alcohol: that it'll take away pain, give us charm, turn the volume down on anxiety. And then the book methodically tears those contracts up. With each chapter, the reader is guided toward a realization that nothing truly valuable has ever required a drink to enjoy. Whether it's falling in love, raising children, healing old wounds, or simply sitting stillーclarity enhances, while alcohol clouds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book does not assume everyone who drinks has a problem. It doesn't sort people into addicts and non-addicts. It explores the vast middleーthe people who wonder if they drink too often, but not destructively enough to "quit." The people who say they could stop anytime, but don't. The ones who know deep down that their joy is dulled, their mornings are heavier, their anxiety is louder. For them, this book becomes a mirror and a map.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Readers who commit to the pages of this book will walk away with more than a shift in drinking habits. They'll gain a deeper understanding of how to live without outsourcing joy, how to say no without feeling like they're missing out, and how to rebuild a sense of self that was never dependent on alcohol to begin with.＜/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 Pheather Method A Story of Inspiration and a Writing Method for Success【電子書籍】[ Dr. Pheather R. Harris ]

＜p＞"The Pheather Method: A Story of Inspiration and a Writing Method for Success" was developed to provide students with a writing system that guides them though how to produce a strong academic paper, while also offering academic professionals a mindset that honors the lived experience of the students they serve. For far too long, students have struggled with composing academic papers, establishing a writing structure, and honoring their voices in the process. Readers are left to piece together the finished product and often must fill in the blanks. This true story is centered on the life of the author, Pheather, and her relationship with education. Growing up in low-income neighborhoods, threatened by her environment, made it tough for her to embrace the light that shined within. As a young girl, she often pondered formal education's role in her life and knew early on that it did not reflect her reality. One night after receiving a less than desirable grade on a paper at Harvard in her first semester, Pheather sat in her dorm room, stared at a blank computer screen, and wondered whether she belonged at one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Despair and frustration arose from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head and a warm sensation of panic fell over her. She could not escape the feeling of inadequacy while tears rolled down her cheeks. She began to pray. That night, Pheather's prayers were answered, and she approached writing assignments differently. She graduated from the institution with high scores and The Pheather Method was born. What she learned in that time is that achieving sought after goals is nuanced, non-liner, difficult, yet worth it. Rooted in life lessons, academic prowess, and proven success, Pheather offers a writing system that produces winning results. It centers on the voice of the author, amplifies the unique gifts each of us carry to make the world a better place, and takes the reader on a journey of self-actualization and empowerment.＜/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！】Ladies Must Live【電子書籍】[ Alice Duer Miller ]

＜p＞Mrs. Ussher was having a small house party in the country over New Year's Day. This is equivalent to saying that the half dozen most fashionable people in New York were out of town. Certain human beings are admitted to have a genius for discrimination in such matters as objects of art, pigs or stocks. Mrs. Ussher had this same instinct in regard to fashion, especially where fashions in people were concerned. She turned toward hidden social availability very much as the douser's hazel wand turns toward the hidden spring. When she crossed the room to speak to some woman after dinner, whatever that woman's social position might formerly have been, you could be sure that at present she was on the upward wing. When Mrs. Ussher discovered extraordinary qualities of mind and sympathy in some hitherto impossible man, you might be certain it was time to begin to book him in advance. Not that Mrs. Ussher was a kingmaker; she herself had no more power over the situation than the barometer has over the weather. She merely was able to foretell; she had the sense of approaching social success. She was unaware of her own powers, and really supposed that her sudden and usually ephemeral friendships were based on mutual attraction. The fact that for years her friends had been the small group of the momentarily fashionable required, in her eyes, no explanation. So simple was her creed that she believed people were fashionable for the same reason that they were her friends, because "they were so nice." During the short period of their existence, Mrs. Ussher gave to these friendships the utmost loyalty and devotion. She agonized over the financial, domestic and romantic troubles of her friends; she sat up till the small hours, talking to them like a schoolgirl; during the height of their careers she organized plots for their assistance; and even when their stars were plainly on the decline, she would often ask them to lunch, if she happened to be alone. Many people, we know, are prone to make friends with the rich and great. Mrs. Ussher's genius consisted in having made friends with them before they were either. When you hurried to her with some account of a newly discovered treasureーa beauty or a conversable young manーshe would always say: "Oh, yes, I crossed with her two years ago," or "Isn't he a dear?ーhe was once in Jack's office."
