＜p＞An inside account of politics, crisis, and architecture on Capitol Hill＜/p＞ ＜p＞The domed US Capitol Building is recognized around the world as America’s most iconic symbol, the forum for representative democracy, and the physical stage for the transfer of executive power. As the United States grew in size and complexity, the Capitol was built, rebuilt, enlarged, and extended many times under the direction of the few who have served as Architect of the Capitol. This official heads the agency dedicated to preserving and upgrading this magnificent structure, and all the buildings and grounds of Capitol Hill.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Under the Dome, Alan Hantman, the Architect of the Capitol from 1997 to 2007, provides a personal account of how the Capitol works as a physical space; who runs it, how and why decisions are made about the security of the Capitol and the people who work there, and how politicians think about the Capitol Building. He also recounts security threats to the Capitol during his tenure?including the 1998 shooting murder of two police officers and the Capitol evacuation on 9/11 as a hijacked airplane approached?that underscore one of his greatest challenges as Architect. The tension between securing the Capitol and opening it to the public drove the design and construction under his direction of the Capitol Visitor Center, the largest expansion of the Capitol in its history, increasing its size by 70%.＜/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！】Democracy's Mountain Longs Peak and the Unfulfilled Promises of America's National Parks【電子書籍】[ Ruth M. Alexander ]

＜p＞At 14,259 feet, Longs Peak towers over Colorado’s northern Front Range. A prized location for mountaineering since the 1870s, Longs has been a place of astonishing climbing featsーand, unsurprisingly, of significant risk and harm. Careless and unlucky climbers have experienced serious injury and death on the peak, while their activities, equipment, and trash have damaged fragile alpine resources. As a site of outdoor adventure attracting mostly white people, Longs has mirrored the United States’ tenacious racial divides, even into the twenty-first century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In telling the history of Longs Peak and its climbers, Ruth M. Alexander shows how Rocky Mountain National Park, like the National Park Service (NPS), has struggled to contend with three fundamental obligationsーto facilitate visitor enjoyment, protect natural resources, and manage the park as a site of democracy. Too often, it has treated these obligations as competing rather than complementary commitments, reflecting national discord over their meaning and value. Yet the history of Longs also shows us how, over time, climbers, the park, and the NPS have attempted to align these obligations in policy and practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By putting mountain climbers and their relationship to Longs Peak and its rangers at the center of the story of Rocky Mountain National Park, Alexander exposes the significant role outdoor recreationists have hadーas both citizens and privileged adventurersーin shaping the peak’s meaning, use, and management. Since 2000, the park has promoted climber enjoyment and safety, helped preserve the environment, facilitated tribal connections to the park, and attracted a more diverse group of visitors and climbers. Yet, Alexander argues, more work needs to be done.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alexander’s nuanced account of Longs Peak reveals the dangers of undermining national parks’ fundamental obligations and presents a powerful appeal to meet them fairly and fully.＜/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！】Barry Island The Making of a Seaside Playground, c.1790?c.1965【電子書籍】[ Andy Croll ]

＜p＞Barry Island was one of the most cherished leisure spaces in twentieth-century south Wales, the playground of generations of working-class day-trippers. This book considers its rise as a seaside resort and reveals a history that is much more complex, lengthy and important than has previously been recognized. As conventionally told, the story of the Island as tourist resort begins in the 1890s, when the railway arrived in Barry. In fact, it was functioning as a watering place by the 1790s. Yet decades of tourism produced no sweeping changes. Barry remained a district of ‘bathing villages’ and hamlets, not a developed urban resort. As such, its history challenges us to rethink the category of ‘seaside resort’ and forces us to re-evaluate Wales’s contribution to British coastal tourism in the ‘long nineteenth century’. It also underlines the importance of visitor agency; powerful landowners shaped much of the Island’s development but, ultimately, it was the working-class visitors who turned it into south Wales’s most beloved tripper resort.＜/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＞Those who approach this book intrigued by the cover image, bearing the silhouette of a pyramid located near the Ponte Vecchio, should not expect to find esoteric allusions or archaeo-mystical fantasies.＜br /＞ Instead, that figure is meant to be a metaphor, a fantastic and eternally living image of the curiosity that any citizen, visitor and tourist can address to the past of Florence and Fiesole. And therefore it symbolizes the passion for history and archaeology that springs from participation in the city’s most intimate life.＜br /＞ We have chosen this image, one of many possible, for the new edition of Antiche Curiosit?

＜p＞Welcome to Global Cities: How the World Really Lives ? a series that takes you beyond postcards and clich?s to explore how the world’s most iconic cities actually work, eat, argue, dream, and survive. Each volume blends history, culture, and lived experience into a rich, witty, and deeply human portrait of a single city ? told not from a tour bus, but from the pavement.＜/p＞ ＜p＞???＜/p＞ ＜p＞London: a city of fog and finance, fried chicken and footnotes, palaces and pop-up bars, ghost stations and global dreams. In this vivid, funny, and unexpectedly moving portrait of one of the world’s most mythologised cities, Global Cities: London takes you far beyond the guidebooks ? and deep into the lived reality of a place that never stays still.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Across thirteen chapters and one very soggy farewell walk, this book dives headfirst into the chaos and charm of modern-day London. From the imperial echoes hiding in architecture and afternoon tea, to the art of surviving a Tube strike with dignity, to how a city this old keeps dreaming about its future ? it’s all here, filtered through the eyes of a curious, culturally attuned narrator who knows how to blend history, humour, and human insight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You’ll walk through centuries of power and protest, peek inside greasy spoons and billion-pound penthouses, decode slang on the Northern line, and finally understand why everyone’s obsessed with what zone they live in. Along the way, you’ll meet fox-feeders, firebrand poets, city planners, and generations of migrants who’ve reshaped London one kebab, brick, and lyric at a time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This isn’t a travel guide. It’s not a love letter, either. It’s more like being taken around by that clever friend who knows where to get the best bagel at 3AM, but can also explain how Victorian sewage changed world history. It’s part cultural anthropology, part social history, part low-key stand-up routine ? with a glossary and an appendix full of facts you didn’t know you needed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Perfect for readers of Bill Bryson, Rebecca Solnit, or anyone who’s ever gotten lost in Shoreditch on purpose, Global Cities: London captures the contradictions, charm, and sheer absurdity of a city that refuses to be defined ? but still demands to be experienced.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a lifelong local, or just someone who keeps pretending to move here, this is the book that will finally make London make sense.

【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！】This Southern Metropolis Life in Antebellum Mobile【電子書籍】[ Mike Bunn ]

＜p＞Based on visitor descriptions of antebellum Mobile, Alabama’s physical and social environment, this book captures a place and time that is particular to Gulf Coast history. Mobile’s foundational era is a period in which the city transformed from a struggling colonial outpost into one of the nation’s most significant economic powerhouses, largely owing to the cotton trade and the labor of enslaved people. On the eve of the Civil War, the Mobile ranked as the fourth most populous community in what would soon become the Confederacy, and within the Gulf Coast region, it stood second only to New Orleans in population, wealth, and influence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In addition to ranking as one of the busiest ports in the United States, the city’s remarkable architecture, beautiful natural setting, and abundance of entertainment options combined to make it one of the South’s most distinctive communities. Its cultural diversity only added to its uniqueness. In addition to being home to the largest white population of any community in Alabama, the city also claimed the state’s largest free Black, foreign-born, and Creole communities. Mobile was the slave-trading center of the state until the 1850s as well and remained thoroughly intertwined with the institution of slavery throughout the antebellum period. By 1860 Mobile's population stood at nearly thirty thousand people, making it the twenty-seventh-largest city in the United States overall.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although numerous histories of Mobile have been published, none have focused on the dozens of evocative firsthand accounts published by antebellum-era visitors. These writings allowed literary-minded travelers, who were often consciously looking for things that struck them as singular about a place, to become proxy tour guides for their contemporary readers. In attempting to capture the essence of the city’s reality at a specific moment in time, Mobile’s antebellum visitors have left us a unique record of one of the South’s most historic communities.＜/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！】Border Reminiscences【電子書籍】[ Randolph Barnes Marcy ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"Full of adventure, startling." -＜em＞Princeton Review, 1872＜/em＞＜br /＞ " The characters depicted in this volume are the most uncouth and original specimens of humanity." - Theological Review, 1872＜br /＞ ""It will be even more interesting a hundred years hence." Th****e Nation, 1872＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Valuable as a reliable picture of scenes, and circumstances, and characters which are rapidly passing away." - The Eclectic Magazine, 1872＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞General Marcy evidently made the best of the hardships to which the duties of his profession called him and finds a natural delight in recalling adventures which had some grotesque or ludicrous phases.＜/p＞ ＜p＞General Marcy's 1859 book "Border Reminiscences" is a portfolio filled with sketches of life upon the frontier. His "Reminiscences" are mostly of the humorous order, and depict the odd characters of remote army stations. Here are described the major of the old r?gime, the braggadocio, the eccentric cadet, the army belle, and the practical jokes and drolleries which make up so large a part of station life during times of peace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This volume is mainly composed of lively and well-told narratives of personal experiences and adventures in the service, in which the varied and oftentimes picturesque and absurd characters with whom the author was brought in contact are admirably delineated with his pen. Some of the stories are exceedingly amusing, and others have a serious tone and possess peculiar interest.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some of the stories which he tells have a serious interest, as, for example, the story of the woman on the Texas border, whose capture by the Comanches, her escape and recapture, and second escape, seem almost incredible if they were not so well vouched for.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In one anecdote "General Sam Houston " had promised his support, in an approaching Texan election, to each of two opposing candidates for office. He was a frequent visitor at the farm-house of one of these candidates. One morning this gentleman astonished Houston by showing him a letter, in Houston's own handwriting, in which he had denounced his entertainer to the opposing candidate, and urged the latter to make every effort to defeat him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Houston saw that he was caught in an unpleasant predicament; however, he read the letter very carefully in order to gain time. Perceiving, at last, "that it would be useless to deny its authenticity, after a moment's reflection, he went up to his host with the letter open in his left hand, placed it before his eyes, and, significantly shaking the index-finger of his right hand at the paper, said: 'Who would suppose that I could ever have got so beastly drunk as to write such an absurd letter? You know me too well to behave for an instant that this letter expresses my real sentiments.'"＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the author:＜br /＞ Randolph Barnes Marcy (1812?1887) was an officer in the United States Army, chiefly noted for his frontier guidebook, the Prairie Traveler (1859), based on his own extensive experience of pioneering in the west. This publication became a key handbook for the thousands of Americans wanting to cross the continent. In the Civil War, Marcy became chief of staff to his son-in-law George B. McClellan, and was later appointed Inspector General of the U.S. Army.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Other books by Marcy include:＜br /＞ ? Exploration of the Red River, (1853),＜br /＞ ? The Prairie Traveler (1871)＜br /＞ ?

＜p＞Do you want to visit the United States? Do you want to visit family, tour, come to Disneyland, you're your family and come into the U.S.? Have you tried to get the B-2 Visa and been denied because you cannot prove you intend to return to your own country? Do you know that to get a B-2 Visa that you are presumed to want to stay in the U.S. forever and not go back to your home country? The B-2 Petition must show your intent to return. This sample petition does it different ways using arguments related to assets, jobs, families and other matters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Note that you cannot use the B-2 Visitor Visa to get into the U.S. to marry and then to apply for the Green Card. That would be illegal and other immigration avenues should be taken. Also note that a B-2 Visa is issued only to one person. If you want to bring in your spouse and/or your kids, there must be a separate B-2 Visa issued to each person and each person must properly prove their intent and what is necessary to get a B-2 issued. The B-2 Visitor Visa is a great way to visit the U.S. and will give you great memories. However, it is not so easy to obtain. Therefore you should follow this example and input your own information and arguments but using this example petition to guide you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While it would be better and more effective to use an experienced attorney, it is clear that many times people just do not have the funds to retain an attorney. Therefore, note that this B-2 Visitor Visa Petition is made by an experienced immigration lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience. It is real and it was actually submitted. You can put your own facts and information in this petition and note that it will be a very good sample for you to proceed with the B-2 Petition for yourself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sample B-2 Visitor Visa Petition will give lots of great information and a significant amount of information and data that will comply with the requirements. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary B-2 Visitor Visa Petition, then this is the next best thing. Follow it carefully and closely and you will have a real chance of realizing your dream to stay inside the United States. Note that the adjudicating officer at USCIS is not your friend or the Consulate Officer at the U.S. Consulate deciding whether you should get this particular visa or status. Thus, you need to completely and properly document and prepare your B-2 Visitor Visa Petition. You must properly either get legal representation via an attorney or represent yourself. Either way, if you qualify for this, you must make it as strong as possible.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We certainly hope you find this petition useful and helpful and hope for the best immigration experience you can have. We do have petitions on every subject area of immigration, and you might look at those if needed as well. If you do need to actually have a consultation, you can call our U.S. Immigration Law office at 562-495-0554 for an initial free consultation to determine what must be done to help you and your family.＜/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！】In Old Roseau. Reminiscences of life as I found it in the island of Dominica, and among the Carib Indians【電子書籍】[ William Spoford Birge ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"It was noon that day when we entered the Carib reservation and found ourselves at last in the El Dorado I had so fondly pictured in my imagination."＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"In Old Roseau" is the title of a thoroughly charming little volume by Dr. William S. Birge (1857-1925) published in 1900, dealing with life on Dominica, one of the little Windward Isles in the Carribean. Dr. Birge spent some time in old Roseau, the principal town of Dominica. and also paid a rather prolonged visit to the interesting settlement of the Carib Indians on the island.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The work abounds in interesting stories connected with the annals of the island; but perhaps the most interesting pages are devoted to the author's personal experiences, including as they do a trip to the great sulphur lake, which is in the form of a mighty cauldron ever seething on the summit of one of the principal mountains of Dominica; an exciting wild boar hunt in which the author plays anything but the part of a story-book hero: and a sojourn in the house of a family among the Carib Indians who were half French and half Indian. His description of leprosy is unusually free from loathesomeness, yet he paints its horrors with the colors of truth, and his more attractive passages lose none of the force displayed in dealing with more grewsome subjects. Regarding the tropical agriculture of the island, Birge writes: "The soil of all the islands is rich, and with little cultivation will produce three or four crops a year."＜/p＞ ＜p＞The two frank and unsophisticated maidens, Marcella and Louise, may have served to prolong our author's visit, as they certainly were unconventional islanders near to Nature's heart. The affection which the elder entertained for the visitor, though giving a romantic tinge to his long stay, saddened the closing days of his visit. "In Old Roseau" is a delightfully restful though instructive and entertaining little volume.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In describing his memories of the island, Birge writes:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The In these West Indian Islands you live in a climate averaging 80°. The air has no longer any harshness or asperity. It feels soft and bland to the skin. Every breath is healing. You are beside a tinted and eye-delighting ocean, where soft breezes are constant and strengthening; amid lovely scenes of vivid and varied hues, and beneath fair, solemn and deep blue skies, whose brief sunsets are glorious beyond the painting of words, and whose prismatic stars glow like steel when not quenched by the most mellow and brightest of moonlights. The mind partakes of the tranquility of it all, and year by year after you have come away you will look back to those verdant hills, to those palm-bordered roads, to that purple and rosy sea, to those brilliant noons and beautiful nights, to the charming climate."＜/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。

Our own interpretation has preserved to us, however, many glowing accounts of the deeds of black men with which every one of African descent should be familiar and justly proud."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Edward E. Carlisle (Born 1862) and Josephine E. Carlisle (Born 1871) explore the ancient history of Cush, Ethiopia, Nubia, and other African kingdoms. The authors rely on Biblical text as well as other primary sources to retell the story of black Africans from an Afro-centric point of view, offering an important early contribution to Ancient African history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Describing Ethiopians, the authors note that "they still continue the object of curiosity and admiration, and the pen of cautious clear sighted historians often places them in the highest rank of knowledge and civilization."＜br /＞ "In Scripture they occupy a prominent place. Zipporah, the wife of Moses, the illustrious lawgiver, was an Ethiopian and prior to his flight into Midian Moses married Tharbis, an Ethiopian princess. Queen Candace, whose eunuch Phillip baptized, was an Ethiopian and not the only Ethiopian queen by that name, the title being used in the same way as Pharaoh for the ruler of Egypt and Caesar for Rome. Ebed-Melech, who rescued the prophet Jeremiah from the pit prison was an Ethiopian enunch. The Ethiopian Zerah who went out to meet Asa with a host of a thousand thousand men and three hundred chariots was so formidable a general that special divine favor alone saved Asa from inglorious defeat. Solomon's renowned visitor, Makeda, queen of Sheba, was an Ethiopian sovereign."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Historical Sketches of the Ancient Negro" is a fascinating book for those looking an introduction to the little-covered topic of Ancient African contributions to the rise of civilization.＜/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。
