＜p＞"What's Mine's Mine" is a novel set in the wilds of Scottish Highlands in the middle of the 19th century that captures one of the most important periods of Scottish history ? the crumbling of the clans and the migrations of the impoverished clansmen and farmers as their homeland is bought out from under them by the rich and mercenary landowners from the south. Among those ambitious and gain-seeking men is the protagonist of this novel Peregrine Palmer, who has just moved with his family to the Highland Region…＜/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＞and racial justice during a critical era in southern and Appalachian history. This volume is the first comprehensive examination of that extraordinaryーand often controversialーinstitution.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Founded in 1932 by Myles Horton and Don West near Monteagle, Tennessee, this adult education center was both a vital resource for southern radicals and a catalyst for several major movements for social change. During its thirty-year history it served as a community folk school, as a training center for southern labor and Farmers' Union members, and as a meeting place for black and white civil rights activists. As a result of the civil rights involvement, the state of Tennessee revoked the charter of the original institution in 1962.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of Horton's philosophy and the Highlander program was a belief in the power of education to effect profound changes in society. By working with the knowledge the poor of Appalachia and the South had gained from their experiences, Horton and his staff expected to enable them to take control of their own lives and to solve their own problems.＜/p＞ ＜p＞John M. Glen's authoritative study is more than the story of a singular school in Tennessee. It is a biography of Myles Horton, co-founder and long-time educational director of the school, whose social theories shaped its character. It is an analysis of the application of a particular idea of adult education to the problems of the South and of Appalachia. And it affords valuable insights into the history of the southern labor and the civil rights movements and of the individuals and institutions involved in them over the past five decades.＜/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！】Immortali Economia per nuovi highlander【電子書籍】[ Nicola Palmarini ]

＜p＞Perch? Gillette ha deciso di lanciare un rasoio per gli uomini che non si possono radere da soli? E come mai Allure ha scelto di bandire la parola ≪anti-age≫ dal proprio magazine rischiando di perdere gli investitori pubblicitari del settore beauty? A chi ammiccano le nuove sfarzose residenze nel centro della City londinese, dotate di servizi sanitari da far invidia alle migliori cliniche del pianeta? Qual ? l’et? media del pi? numeroso cluster di clienti Apple? E dei clienti di Tesla? Sono forse i primi, isolati, segnali che qualcosa sta succedendo al concetto di vecchiaia per come l’abbiamo da sempre interpretato e narrato? E, se cos? ?, quali conseguenze ha tutto questo sul sistema economico e finanziario globale? Di fronte a noi si apre uno scenario in cui i consumatori avranno desideri da realizzare (e una capacit? di spesa) che non avremmo mai pensato di associare agli over 70 e che forse, come una nascente industria nata dalla fusione di life science e tecnologia lascia intuire, potrebbero esistere in eterno. Solo pochi brand iniziano timidamente a mostrare il loro interesse per questo target ricco ma lo fanno mascherandolo, perch? temono di danneggiare la propria immagine, fermamente convinti di doversi mantenere ≪freschi≫ e quindi connessi ai giovani. E quelli che nel passato hanno creato prodotti ad hoc sono caduti nella trappola degli stereotipi, dell’analisi dei bisogni anzich? dei desideri, accecati da una narrativa centrata sulla patologia e la sua cura anzich?, per esempio, sul piacere e la sua soddisfazione. Come se si trattasse di scommettere su un futuro il cui rendimento ? tutto da dimostrare invece che su una miniera d’oro a cielo aperto che non chiede altro di essere esplorata.＜/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！】Storie di Highlander【電子書籍】[ Maria Rita Zibellini ]

＜p＞Questo è un libro di storie vecchie, tanto che alcune delle leggende in esso contenute potrebbero appartenere a molti luoghi e a molte genti, ma sono favole e vite vissute nelle Highland, legate alle ossa antiche delle montagne e dei loch, all'erica, ai cardi e alle radici contorte dei frassini, che nascondono elfi e presenze inquietanti...Nella prima parte sono raccontate le vicende degli scozzezi che vissero Culloden. Sono le storie nella Storia, i fatti che hanno segnato l'esistenza dei singoli, ma che nessun manuale riporterà mai. Gli altri sono racconti da cantastorie, alcuni noti, altri tanto antichi e remoti da non esser più conosciuti da nessuno. ＜/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 British Connection Operation Highlander【電子書籍】[ Tim Daly ]

＜p＞On the face of it, author Tim Daly was an unlikely candidate for undercover agent. Not only had he lived in America for less than a decade, but his strong Scottish accent was unintelligible to many Americans. At age fiftythree, he should have been looking forward to a peaceful retirement rather than a dangerous new career. But when they approached him in 1985, US Customs knew that what he lacked in youth, he more than made up for in experience.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The British Connection＜/em＞, Daly, a seasoned sailor, provides a firsthand account of the extremely murky underworld of drug deals in a variety of places, including Florida, the Cayman Islands, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Belize, and Venezuela as he worked as an undercover agent for five years to help bust Central and South American drug cartels. His detailed story tells how he played a major role in operations involving thousands of kilos of cocaine and thousands of pounds of marijuana. Daly recalls hobnobbing with Colombian racketeers, setting up deals with Cubans in Miami and elsewhere, meeting with senior members of the Medellin and Cali Cartels in their own countriesand living to tell about it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞More than a thrilling memoir of action and adventure, ＜em＞The British Connection＜/em＞ exposes the chaos and treachery behind the war on drugs from a man who transported drugs around the Carribean and Latin America and mixed with the worlds most powerful and ruthless criminals.＜/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。

新しい本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書Singing Army: Zilphia Horton and the Highlander Folk School - Kim Ruehl (University of Texas Press) 【紙書籍】 9781477318256

タイトル: Singing Army: Zilphia Horton and the Highlander Folk School著者: Kim Ruehl出版社: University of Texas Press出版日: 2021年03月23日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Zilphia Horton was a pioneer of cultural organizing, an activist and musician who taught people how to use the arts as a tool for social change, and a catalyst for anthems of empowerment such as "We Shall Overcome" and "We Shall Not Be Moved." Her contributions to the Highlander Folk School, a pivotal center of the labor and civil rights movements in the mid-twentieth century, and her work creating the songbook of the labor movement influenced countless figures, from Woody Guthrie to Eleanor Roosevelt to Rosa Parks. Despite her outsized impact, Horton's story is little known. A Singing Army introduces this overlooked figure to the world.Drawing on extensive archival and oral history research, as well as numerous interviews with Horton's family and friends, Kim Ruehl chronicles her life from her childhood in Arkansas coal country, through her formative travels and friendship with radical Presbyterian minister Claude C. Williams, and into her instrumental work in desegregation and fostering the music of the civil rights era. Revealing these experiences--as well as her unconventional marriage and controversial death by poisoning--A Singing Army tells the story of an all-but-forgotten woman who inspired thousands of working-class people to stand up and sing for freedom and equality.

＜p＞'Highlanders have long been among the most feared soldiers in the world and Tim Newark's book admirably tells their stirring tale. A great read!' ＜strong＞Bernard Cornwell＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞On the fields of Waterloo, the deserts of Sudan, the Plains of Abraham and the mountains of Dargai, the trenches of Flanders and the jungles of Burma - the great Highland regiments made their mark. The brave kilted troops with their pipes and drums were legendary, whether leading the charge into the thick of battle or standing fast, the last to leave or fall, fighting against the odds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Acclaimed historian Tim Newark tells the story of the Highlanders through the words of the soldiers themselves, from diaries, letters and journals uncovered from archives in Scotland and around the world. At the Battle of Quebec in 1759, only a few years after their defeat at Culloden, the 78th Highlanders faced down the French guns and turned the battle. At Waterloo, Highlanders memorably fought alongside the Scots Greys against Napoleon's feared Old Guard. In the Crimea, the thin red line stood firm against the charging Russian Hussars and saved the day at Balaclava.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yet the story is also one of betrayal. At Quebec, General Wolfe remarked that, despite the Highlanders' courage, it was 'no great mischief if they fall'. At Dunkirk in May 1940, the 51st Regiment was left to defend the SOE evacuation at St Valery; though following D-Day the Highlanders were at the forefront of the fighting through France. It is all history: over the last decade the historic regiments have been dismantled, despite widespread protest.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for The Mafia at War:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞An engrossing history that reads like a thriller.
