【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！】What Time and Sadness Spared Mother and Son Confront the Holocaust【電子書籍】[ Roma Nutkiewicz Ben-Atar ]

＜p＞Roma Ben-Atar resisted until late in life the urging of her family to share the memories of her Nazi-era experiences. The Holocaust exerted a dark pressure on all of their lives but was never openly discussed. It was only when her granddaughter insisted on hearing the whole truth, with a directness partly generational, that Mrs. Ben-Atar agreed to tell her story.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞What Time and Sadness Spared＜/em＞ is a journey of both loss and endurance, moving with shocking speed from a carefree adolescence in upper-middle-class Warsaw to the horrors of the Final Solution. The young girl sees her neighborhood transformed into a ghetto populated by skeletal figures both alive and dead. Unbelievably, things only grow worse as this ruin gives way to the death factories of Majdanek and Auschwitz and the death marches of 1945. Life in the camps changes her in less than a day, as if "the person in my body was a stranger I had never met." Her only consolation is to lie on her wooden bunk, no mattress, and speak to the soul of her mother, who, like virtually her entire family, had already been swept away. Roma must summon astonishing powers of adaptation simply to survive, bringing her finally through the wreckage of postwar Europe and to an entirely new life in Israel.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this unique family collaboration Roma Ben-Atar's son Doron, a historian who brings with him fluency in psychoanalysis, contributes through his commentary an awareness of the difficulties presented by historical narrative and memory. A visitor to the much-changed sites in which his mother grew up and was interned by the Nazis, he also voices the perspective of the survivors' children and their ambivalence over being "protected" from this past. As the generation that endured the camps passes from this world, What Time and Sadness Spared illustrates with particular urgency the historical responsibilities of the survivors' descendants, who must become the new vessels for a story that will not remain alive on its own but demands our courage and curiosity.＜/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！】Philosopher in Plato's Statesman【電子書籍】[ Mitchell Miller ]

＜p＞In the Statesman, Plato brings together--only to challenge and displace--his own crowning contributions to philosophical method, political theory, and drama. In his 1980 study, reprinted here, Mitchell Miller employs literary theory and conceptual analysis to expose the philosophical, political, and pedagogical conflict that is the underlying context of the dialogue, revealing that its chaotic variety of movements is actually a carefully harmonized act of realizing the mean. The original study left one question outstanding: what specifically, in the metaphysical order of things, motivated the nameless Visitor from Elea to abandon bifurcation for his consummating non-bifurcatory division of fifteen kinds at the end of the dialogue? Miller addressed in a separate essay, first published in 1999 and reprinted here. In it, he opens the horizon of interpretation to include the new metaphysics of the Parmenides, the Philebus, and the &quote;unwritten teachings.&quote;＜/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！】Ruling the Waters California’s Kern River, the Environment, and the Making of Western Water Law【電子書籍】[ Douglas R. Littlefield ]

＜p＞When Europeans first arrived at what is now California’s San Joaquin Valley, they found a vast landscape of wetlands, small ponds, riparian forests, and grasslands surrounding three large swampland lakes. What greets a visitor to the region today is a dramatically different view of mile after mile of row crops, vineyards, orchards, and grazing acreageーsome of the most fertile and productive agricultural land in the world. This remarkable transformation, with its enduring consequences, is at the center of ＜em＞Ruling the Waters＜/em＞, a legal, social, and environmental history of how western water law shaped, and was shaped by, the subjugation of the largest freshwater wetlands wildlife habitat in the West.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of efforts to wrest arable land from the region was the Kern River, which rises in the Sierra Nevada and carries snowmelt to what was once a great network of lakes, sloughs, and marshes at the southern end of California’s Central Valley. In ＜em＞Ruling the Waters＜/em＞ Douglas R. Littlefield describes how, over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, pioneers and entrepreneurs diverted water out of this network of waterways to extract gold in the mountains and irrigate farms lower down the river, and how the law was made to accommodate these practices. Struggles over the Kern River’s water established one of the most important concepts in water law in some parts of the United Statesーthat prior appropriation, dependent on the chronological order of diversions from waterways, could legally coexist with riparian rights, which restrict water usage to landownership directly next to a river or stream.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Littlefield traces this concept to the 1886 California Supreme Court case of ＜em＞Lux v. Haggin＜/em＞ーwhich pitted the giant farming and cattle company of Miller & Lux against a prominent land baron, James B. Hagginーand shows how the lawsuit profoundly shaped future waters issues, which in turn influenced water laws in other western states that were grappling with similar questions.＜br /＞ Far from a dry legal history, ＜em＞Ruling the Waters＜/em＞ tells a story with world-wide historical environmental ramifications, a tale of competing personalities and values and visions that forever changed both the economy and the ecology of the American West.＜/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！】Indian Tribes of Oklahoma A Guide, Second Edition【電子書籍】[ Carter Blue Clark ]

＜p＞Oklahoma is home to nearly forty American Indian tribes and includes the largest Native population of any state. As a result, many Americans think of the state as “Indian Country.” In 2009, Blue Clark, an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, produced an invaluable reference for information on the state’s Native peoples. Now, building on the success of the first edition, this revised guide offers an up-to-date survey of the diverse nations that make up Oklahoma’s Indian Country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since publication of the first edition more than a decade ago, much has changed across Indian Countryーand more is known about its history and culture. Drawing from both scholarly literature and Native oral sources, Clark incorporates the most recent archaeological and anthropological research to provide insights into each individual tribe dating back to prehistoric times.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today, the thirty-nine federally recognized tribes of Oklahoma continue to make advances in the areas of tribal governance, commerce, and all forms of arts and literature. This new edition encompasses the expansive range of tribal actions and interests in the state, including the rise of Native nation casino operations and nongaming industries, and the establishment of new museums and cultural attractions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In keeping with the user-friendly format of the original edition, this book provides readers with the unique story of each tribe, presented in alphabetical order, from the Alabama-Quassartes to the Yuchis. Each entry contains a complete statistical and narrative summary of the tribe, covering everything from origin tales to contemporary ceremonies and tribal businesses. The entries also include tribal websites, suggested readings, and photographs depicting visitor sites, events, and prominent tribal personages.＜/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！】Bridge to the Gods Tales from Kyushu【電子書籍】[ Andrew Peter Thomson ]

＜p＞At the far north of Asia lies Japan, the mysterious land Marco Polo called Zipangu. When Europeans first visited Japan in the early 1500s it was the large island of Kyushu where they made landfall and began meeting both ordinary fishermen and farmers as well as the samurai and their lords. Kyushu was the gateway into Japan.＜br /＞ Yet Kyushu was more than just an entry point for Europeans. It was the stepping stone for the prehistoric immigrants to Japan who came from the Mongolian steppes and from other parts of Asia. It was also the gateway for Chinese culture, tea, and rice cultivation.＜br /＞ A few years ago a foreign man settled in Kyushu alone and began to explore.＜br /＞ He found a host of things that elude the casual visitor ー Christian samurai, Japan’s first ancient rice field, its first tea bushes, yakuza gangsters, and the island where James Bond concealed himself disguised as a Japanese fisherman.＜br /＞ These various tales from Kyushu are mixed with the author’s contemporary life filled with earthquakes, typhoons, and worries about North Korean missiles.＜br /＞ Looking after his elderly Japanese parents-in-law from week to week provides a rare glimpse into daily life in rural Japan.＜br /＞ Bridge to The Gods: Tales from Kyushu is the best book to come out of Japan in decades.

【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！】Not Like Home American Visitors to Britain in the 1950s【電子書籍】[ Michael John Law ]

＜p＞In the decade of economic expansion following the Second World War, many ordinary Americans travelled abroad for the first time. Those who visited Britain were surprised to find that the people they encountered were not the aristocrats or working-class ciphers they knew from Hollywood movies. Britons' views of Americans were likewise informed by films and by encounters with the American military during the war. Based on over thirty personal accounts of Americans travelling to Britain in the 1950s, Not Like Home examines how direct contact influenced the relationships between these two groups and their attitudes towards each other. Michael John Law explains that prejudice on both sides was replaced by the realities of direct encounters. Painting an evocative portrait of Britain in the 1950s as seen through the eyes of outsiders, Law depicts the characteristics and practices of these American visitors and compares them to their caricatures in British newspapers and magazines. Going to Britain was a transformative experience for most American visitors, providing a link to a shared history and culture. In turn, their arrival influenced British life by providing a reality check on Hollywood's portrayal of American life and through their demands for higher standards in Britain's hotels, restaurants, and trains. Through an engaging narrative incorporating unpublished reports of American visits to Britain, Not Like Home describes the exciting and sometimes confounding mid-century encounters between two very different cultures.＜/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！】Mexico City【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Caistor ]

＜p＞Mexico City has always been a seat of empire. With its grandiose pretensions, sheer swagger, and staggering proportions, it gives the impression of power exercised over great time and distances. And yet this power has frequently been contested, lending the city a tough, battle-hardened look. At the same time, life in the Mexican capital can be carefree and intoxicating, and the city continues to offer any visitor not only glimpses of past grandeur, but of the fascinating wealth of the culture of Mexico today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores how the city has grown and evolved from the Tenochtitlan city-state of the Aztecs to the capital of the Spanish empire’s “New Spain,” French intervention, revolution, and the newly branded CDMX. Nick Caistor leads us through centuries of history and into the material city of today: from recently constructed museums and shopping malls, to neighborhoods where age-old traditions still appear to be the norm. Whether sampling ice cream at Xochimilco, watching freestyle wrestling at the Arena Mexico, or savoring long Mexican breakfasts, Nick Caistor reveals why Mexico City continues to fascinate and beguile us.＜/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！】Alexis in America A Russian Grand Duke's Tour, 1871-1872【電子書籍】[ Lee A. Farrow ]

＜p＞In the autumn of 1871, Alexis Romanov, the fourth son of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, set sail from his homeland for an extended journey through the United States and Canada. A major milestone in U.S.-Russia relations, the tour also served Duke Alexis's family by helping to extricate him from an unsuitable romantic entanglement with the daughter of a poet. Alexis in America recounts the duke's progress through the major American cities, detailing his meetings with celebrated figures such as Samuel Morse and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and describing the national self-reflection that his presence spurred in the American people.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first Russian royal ever to visit the United States, Alexis received a tour through post-Civil War America that emphasized the nation's cultural unity. While the enthusiastic American media breathlessly reported every detail of his itinerary and entourage, Alexis visited Niagara Falls, participated in a bison hunt with Buffalo Bill Cody, and attended the Krewe of Rex's first Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. As word of the royal visitor spread, the public flocked to train depots and events across the nation to catch a glimpse of the grand duke. Some speculated that Russia and America were considering a formal alliance, while others surmised that he had come to the United States to find a bride.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The tour was not without incident: many city officials balked at spending public funds on Alexis's reception, and there were rumors of an assassination plot by Polish nationals in New York City. More broadly, the visit highlighted problems on the national level, such as political corruption and persistent racism, as well as the emerging cultural and political power of ethnic minorities and the continuing sectionalism between the North and the South. Lee Farrow joins her examination of these cultural underpinnings to a lively narrative of the grand duke's tour, creating an engaging record of a unique moment in international relations.＜/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＞"Thrilling and always intensely interesting." - ＜em＞Book Buyer, 1912＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Interesting narrative ... of places hitherto entirely unknown and unexplored by hunters ... as thrilling as they are novel." - ＜em＞The Publishers Weekly, 1912＜/em＞＜br /＞ "The sportsman will find thrilling tales, especially of the bear hunts." - ＜em＞Nature Study Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Charles Sheldon's 1912 narrative "The Wilderness of the North Pacific Coast Islands" the story of hunting big game on the large coast islands of British Columbia and Alaska is graphically told by the hunter himself, who in rain, snow, hail or windーthrough unbroken country, much of which was not only unknown to white men, but to the natives themselvesー hunted wapiti, bears and caribou.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was the first volume to describe at all intimately and adequately the islands of the North Pacific , Vancouver, Montague, Queen Charlotte, and Admiralty islands. It tells about a country much of which had never before been traversed by white men indeed some of it had not even been trodden by the natives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Sheldon was a born hunter. Nothing was too much trouble, no difficulties and dangers too great to be overcome or braved in the business before himー that of collecting specimens for the Biological Survey in Washington. The history of his effortsーand they were very great efforts indeedーis told in such a way that it reads like a fascinating story. One is soon so absorbed in the tale that it is hard to find a stopping place. Possibly a part of the charm of the book is the unconsciousness of the author in his story-telling power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Big-game hunters who read Charles Sheldon's "Wilderness of the Upper Yukon" will rejoice to learn that another book from his pen is available. The volume is a fitting sequel to his earlier work, and gives a hunter's experiences while searching for wapiti, bears and caribou on the larger coast island of British Columbia and Alaska.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book is filled with many exciting close calls, as for example his encounter with a bear, which he confessed may tax the credulity of even his friends:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"I had proceeded in this way a few steps when suddenly I saw, about eight feet away, on the curving border of the spruces, running directly at me, what appeared to be a huge bear. I had just time to push forward the butt of my rifle and yell, when the bear collided with me, knocking me down ...."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mr. Sheldon's account of his search for the Queen Charlotte caribou possesses a peculiar interest. There is much in this book which a prospective visitor to the islands known as Vancouver, Montague, Queen Charlotte and Admiralty would find interesting. Mr. Sheldon has to his credit the discovery of a new species of bear from Montague Island, which has been named after him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the author:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Charles Alexander Sheldon ( 1867 ? 1928) was a conservationist and the "Father of Denali National Park". He had a special interest in the bighorn sheep and spent time hunting with the Seri Indians in Sonora, Mexico, who knew him as "Maricaana Caamla" (American hunter). Another favorite haunt was the lakes and rivers which later became Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia where Sheldon built a cabin at Beaverskin Lake.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In December 1905, Sheldon was elected member of the Boone and Crockett Club, a wildlife conservation organization founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887. The Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada is named in Sheldon's honor.＜/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！】Resurrecting Interpretation Technology, Hermeneutics, and the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus【電子書籍】[ Simon Perry ]

＜p＞Hermeneutics is the work of Hermes, the Greek demigod, a messenger from the gods and from the dead. Simon Perry sets out to explore the contemporary face of Hermes through a reading of Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). This parable has one distinguishing feature that marks it out from other ancient stories following the same basic storyline: that a visitor from the dead is not granted leave to return with a message to the land of the living. In order for Scripture to be heard, Hermes is not necessary. Where does this leave the role of hermeneutics? Perry looks to philosophers, ethicists, and theologians for an answer.＜/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！】Neo-Coherence Therapy A Bridge to the Soul【電子書籍】[ Bruce R. Parmenter ]

＜p＞Readers of this book should get a glimpse of the demons that drive them and the angels who are waiting at the entrance to the cave. They may find that the demons really want to be freed and that the angels are mere mortals with wings attached. So, there is nothing to be afraid of except not learning how to fly. Everyone carries an emotional truth, but some are still in the cave, while others are flying free ("The glory of God is a human being fully alive" --Irenaeus, 130-ca. 200). Cave dwellers can have visitors, and if a visitor happens to be a therapist (or someone else fully alive), light might flood the cave. Cave dwellers have symptoms, problems, and other glitches, but if the visitor can help the cave dweller to experience why the glitches are necessary to have, the cave person may be able to take a new position outside the cave.

＜p＞“ If that imaginary individual so convenient for literary illustration, a visitor from Mars, were to alight upon our planet at the present time, and if his intellectual interests induced him to take a survey of mundane views of what is “in heaven above, or on the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth,” of terrestrial opinions in regard to the great problems of mind and matter, of government and society, of life and death ー our Martian observer might conceivably report that a limited portion of mankind were guided by views that were the outcome of accumulated toil, and generations of studious devotion, representing a slow and tortuous, but progressive growth through error and superstition, and at the cost of persecution and bloodshed; that they maintained institutions of learning where the fruits of such thought could be imparted and the seeds cultivated to bear still more richly, but that outside of this respectable yet influential minority there were endless upholders of utterly unlike notions and of widely diverging beliefs, clamoring like the builders of the tower of Babel in diverse tongues...”＜/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 Taming of New York's Washington Square A Wild Civility【電子書籍】[ Erich Goode ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The surprising and unofficial system of social control and regulation that keeps crime rates low in New York City’s Washington Square Park＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Located in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre public park that is perhaps best known for its historic Washington Square Arch, a landmark at the foot of 5th Avenue. Hundreds, if not thousands, pass through the park every day, some sit on benches enjoying the sunshine, play a game of chess, watch their children play in the playground, take their dog to the dog runs, or sit by the fountain or, sometimes, buy or sell drugs. The park has an extremely low crime rate. Sociologist, and local resident, Erich Goode wants to know why. He notes that many visitors do violate park rules and ordinances, even engaging in misdemeanors like cigarette and marijuana smoking, alcohol consumption, public urination, skateboarding and bike riding. And yet, he argues, contrary to the well-known “broken windows” theory, which suggests that small crimes left unchecked lead to major crimes, serious crimes hardly ever take place there. Why with such an immense volume of infractionsーand peopleーare there so little felonious or serious, and virtually no violent, crime?＜/p＞ ＜p＞With rich and detailed observations as well as in-depth interviews, Goode demonstrates how onlookers, bystanders, and witnessesーboth denizens and your average casual park visitorーprovide an effective system of social control, keeping more serious wrongdoing in check. Goode also profiles the parks visitors, showing us that the park is a major draw to residents and tourists alike. Visitors come from all over; only a quarter of the park’s visitors live in the neighborhood (the Village and SoHo), one out of ten are tourists, and one out of six are from upper Manhattan or the Bronx. Goode looks at the patterns of who visits the park, when they come, and, once in the park, where they go. Regardless of where they live, Goode argues, all of the Park’s visitors help keep the park safe and lively.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Taming of New York’s Washington Square is an engaging and entertaining look at a surprisingly safe space in the heart of Manhattan.＜/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。
