＜p＞The debates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 have intrigued me for some time now. While researching the participants in those debates, I ran across a number of their letters and diaries from that summer. As I read the letters, I was struck by their hopes and frustrations, that they often so freely shared with others through their writings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But oftentimes, the recipients of the letters were names I did not recognize. I set out to determine who the Convention delegates were corresponding with, and what the connections to them could be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So, here is a fascinating look at many of the writings from that period.＜/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。

タイトル: Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution著者: Carol Berkin出版社: Mariner Books出版日: 2003年10月20日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Historian Carol Berkin's A Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution is a rich narrative portrait of post-revolutionary America and the men who shaped its political future. "Just as the Constitution was a brilliant solution to the problems of the 1780s, Carol Berkin's book is a brilliant account of the making of that constitution. Written with great verve and clarity, it nicely captures all the contingency and unpredictability in the framing of the Constitution."--Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gordon S. WoodThough the American Revolution is widely recognized as our nation's founding story, the years immediately following the war -- when our government was a disaster and the country was in a terrible crisis -- were in fact the most crucial in establishing the country's independence. The group of men who traveled to Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 had no idea what kind of history their meeting would make. But all their ideas, arguments, and compromises -- from the creation of the Constitution itself, article by article, to the insistence that it remain a living, evolving document -- laid the foundation for a government that has surpassed the founders' greatest hopes. Revisiting all the original historical documents of the period and drawing from her deep knowledge of eighteenth-century politics, Carol Berkin opens up the hearts and minds of America's founders, revealing the issues they faced, the times they lived in, and their humble expectations of success.

タイトル: Stones of Balazuc: A French Village in Time著者: John Merriman出版社: W. W. Norton & Company出版日: 2002年06月17日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Balazuc is a tiny medieval village carved into a limestone cliff that towers above the Ardeche River in southeastern France. Its dramatic landscape and Mediterranean climate make it a lovely destination for summer visitors, but for its residents over the centuries life in Balazuc has been harsh. At times Balazuc has prospered, most notably in the nineteenth century through the cultivation of the golden tree and the silkworms it fed, a process whose rigors and rewards are gleefully detailed in this splendid book. But the rewards proved fleeting, leaving only the rigors of life on the tormented soil. Historical events from the French Revolution, through the Paris Commune and the two world wars, sent ripples through this isolated region, but the continuities of everyday life remained strong. Twenty-eight men from Balazuc signed the list of grievances against the king in the spring of 1789; the families of nineteen still live in the village. This is a story of resilience. It is the French story of tensions between Paris and the village expressed in battles over the school, the church, the council, and people's livelihoods. Most of all it is a love letter from an acclaimed historian who with his family has made Balazuc his adopted home. With a new golden tree, tourism, now flourishing, the struggles of the village to prosper and to retain its identity continue, transmuted to a world of cell phones and an imagined village past.

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake: 1577-1580 - Samuel Bawlf (Penguin Publishing Group) 【紙書籍】 9780142004593

タイトル: Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake: 1577-1580著者: Samuel Bawlf出版社: Penguin Publishing Group出版日: 2004年05月25日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。When Sir Francis Drake returned to England in 1580, many questions concerning his momentous voyage were left unanswered--his journals were impounded and his men were forbidden, on pain of death, to divulge where they had been. Drawing on newly uncovered evidence, geographer and maritime historian Samuel Bawlf masterfully reconstructs Francis Drake's historic round-the-world expedition, exploring the drama surrounding the voyage and offering intriguing insights into life at sea in the sixteenth century. But it is Bawlf's assertion of Drake's whereabouts in the summer of 1579 that gives the book even greater originality: from an intensive study of maps of the period, Bawlf shows with certainty that Drake sailed all the way to Alaska--much farther than anyone has heretofore imagined--thereby rewriting the history of exploration in North America.

A chance road trip with a friend led him to Ram Dass, thus beginning an enthusiastic journey of spiritual awakening and deep involvement with three spiritual communities that originated in the sixties and still thrive today: the Ram Dass satsang, Lama Foundation, and Dances of Universal Peace. Sharing his opening to the inner life, his poetry and dreams, and his spiritual passions and astrological insights, Ahad Cobb's memoir begins with his summer with Ram Dass, immersed in meditation, devotion, and guru's grace. His path takes him to New Mexico, to a newly established intentional spiritual community, Lama Foundation, where he lives on the land for thirteen years, experiencing the discipline and rewards of communal living and spiritual practice. At Lama, he is initiated into universal Sufism in the tradition of Hazrat Inayat Khan and the Dances of Universal Peace. He travels overseas to spend time with Sufis in Chamonix, Istanbul, Konya, and Jerusalem. After the birth of his son, Ahad moves off the mountain and serves as sacred dance leader and musician for 35 years in Santa Fe and later Albuquerque. When Lama Foundation is nearly destroyed by a forest fire in 1996, Ahad serves as a trustee, guiding the rebuilding of the community. Ahad's memoir imparts insights from his personal work with Jungian analysis and trauma release, shares his search for and discovery of his soul mate, and details his twelve years of study with Hart DeFouw in the wisdom stream of Vedic astrology. Offering a poignant reflection on life lived from the inside out, and the delicate balance between spirituality and psychology, this memoir leads readers on an outer and inner journey steeped in poetry, music, astrology, and spiritual practice in the context of community that is devoted to awakening.

タイトル: Reborn in the USA: An Englishman's Love Letter to His Chosen Home著者: Roger Bennett出版社: Dey Street Books出版日: 2021年06月29日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。The #1 New York Times BestsellerOne-half of the celebrated Men in Blazers duo, longtime culture and soccer commentator Roger Bennett traces the origins of his love affair with America, and how he went from a depraved, pimply faced Jewish boy in 1980's Liverpool to become the quintessential Englishman in New York. A memoir for fans of Jon Ronson and Chuck Klosterman, but with Roger Bennett's signature pop culture flair and humor.Being a teenager isn't easy, no matter where in the world you live or how much it does or doesn't rain in your hometown. As an outsider--a private-schooled Jewish kid in working-class, heavily Catholic Liverpool--Roger Bennett wasn't winning any popu-larity contests. But there was one idea, or ideal, that burned bright in Roger's heart. That was America-- with its sunny skies, beautiful women, and cool kids with flipped collars who ate at McDonald's. When he embraced American popular culture, the dull gray world he lived in turned to neon teal--a color which had not even been invented in England yet. Intro-duced first through the gateway drug of The Love Boat, then to Rolling Stone, the NFL, John Hughes movies, Run-DMC, and Tracy Chapman, Roger embraced everything that would capture the imagination of a teenager growing up Stateside. When he made a real, in-the-flesh American friend who invited him over for the summer, he got to visit the promised land. A month in Chicago, and a life-changing night spent in the company of the Chicago Bears, was the first hit of freedom, of independence, of the Roger Bennett he knew he could be.(Re)Born in the USA captures the universality of growing pains, growing up, and growing out of where you come from. Drenched in the culture of the late '80s and '90s from the UK and the USA, and the heartfelt, hilarious sense of humor that has made Roger Bennett so beloved by his listeners, here is both a truly unique coming-of-age story and the love letter to America that the country needs right now.

タイトル: Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons著者: Robert M Sapolsky出版社: Scribner出版日: 2002年03月12日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。In the tradition of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, Robert Sapolsky, a foremost science writer and recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, tells the mesmerizing story of his twenty-one years in remote Kenya with a troop of savanna baboons. "I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla," writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist's coming-of-age in Africa. An exhilarating account of Sapolsky's twenty-one-year study of a troop of rambunctious baboons in Kenya, A Primate's Memoir interweaves serious scientific observations with wry commentary about the challenges and pleasures of living in the wilds of the Serengeti--for man and beast alike. Over two decades, Sapolsky survives culinary atrocities, gunpoint encounters, and a surreal kidnapping, while witnessing the encroachment of the tourist mentality on Africa. As he conducts unprecedented physiological research on wild primates, he becomes enamored of his subjects--unique and compelling characters in their own right--and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevents him. By turns hilarious and poignant, A Primate's Memoir is a magnum opus from one of our foremost science writers.

But few may know what became of Penn's enterprise (the "proprietorship") in the years after his death in 1718. And fewer still may realize that Penn's descendants played an important, and increasingly unpopular, role in the coming of the American Revolution to Pennsylvania. The Storm Gathering, based on Penn family correspondence and other contemporary records, tells this fascinating story, focusing primarily on Thomas and John Penn, two of the last members of the Penn family to figure significantly in Pennsylvania's affairs before the colonies declared independence in 1776. Lorett Treese begins her story with Thomas Penn, William Penn's son who eventually became chief proprietor. Thomas groomed his nephew John (sometimes called "indolent") to be governor of the colony. When John took up his duties in 1763, at the end of the French and Indian War, the Penn proprietorship faced serious problems in managing Pennsylvania. The sheer size of the colony made it difficult for the Penns to collect their rents, and settlers moving westward clashed with Indians on the frontier, threatening the peaceful relationship that William Penn had established with native peoples. A stubborn legislature resisted Penn family control at nearly every turn, and Ben Franklin led an effort to thwart the Penns and make Pennsylvania a royal colony.According to Treese, these domestic problems diverted the Penns' attention from the growing movement in America toward democracy and independence. But by 1768, after the British parliament had passed the Townshend Act taxing the American colonies, John Penn and his uncle Thomas began to realize the magnitude of their troubles, referring to the growing rift between America and Britain as "the Storm gathering." Events began to overtake the Penns by 1775. In that year Thomas Penn died, and the bloodshed at Lexington and Concord brought war closer. In Pennsylvania, John Penn wrote that "The people here are forming themselves into companies & are daily exercising in order to be prepared for the worst." When the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia that summer, John knew that the end of Penn leadership was near. "Our form of government still continues," he wrote, "but I think it cannot last long . . . ." In 1776, as radical sentiment grew, the colonies declared independence from England, and Pennsylvania rewrote its constitution, divesting the Penn family of governing powers and making the colony a commonwealth. When war broke out, radical patriots forced John Penn into exile, and he eventually retired to his country home where he waited out the war. Treese concludes this engaging story with the end of the Revolution and its aftermath. While Pennsylvanians began the difficult work of reconstructing their government, the Penns attempted to salvage their personal fortunes. Many former officers of the Penn establishment participated again in government, but Penn family members were pushed outside of American government.

新しい本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書Vegas - John Gregory Dunne (McNally Editions) 【紙書籍】 9781961341326

タイトル: Vegas著者: John Gregory Dunne出版社: McNally Editions出版日: 2025年07月22日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。"The best book about Sin City ever written . . . [Dunne's] grotesqueries aren't drug-induced, they're very real. His is the genuine Vegas." (Esquire)"In the summer of my nervous breakdown, I went to live in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada." So begins John Gregory Dunne's neglected classic of first-person writing, a mordant, deadpan, grotesque tale that blurs the line between autobiography and fiction, confession and reportage.Panicked by his own mortality, despondent over his many failings as a writer and a man, Dunne leaves his wife and their three-year old child for the solitude of a crummy apartment off the Vegas Strip. There he plans to write an account of the city as he finds it; the book he ends up writing is "a fiction which recalls time both real and imagined." The remarkable central characters are Artha, a student at cosmetology college by day, a sex worker by night; Buster Mano, a private detective whose specialty is tracking down errant husbands; and Jackie Kasey, a lounge comic who opens for Elvis at $10,000 a night and wonders why he is still only a "semi-name." Pimps, bail bondsmen, parking-lot moguls, used-car tycoons, ex-jockeys, and women who look as if they had "spent a lifetime meeting guys in Vegas or Miami Beach or Louisville for the Derby" these are the people who wander through the lives of Artha, Buster, and Jackie--and, for a dark season, the life of the narrator.John Gregory Dunne captures a low point in American culture and in one American life with rare vitality, honesty, and perception. Sad, powerful, wildly funny, Vegas is like no memoir before or since.

【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！】Selections in Minnesota: Consequences of the 2020 Election and How to Reclaim Control of Our Government【電子書籍】[ Erik van Mechelen ]

＜p＞In Minnesota, we have paper ballots, yes, but computer scans of those ballots are counted instead of the ballots themselves. There's no clear path to reviewing or auditing the digital records and therefore, with ballots and records likely not retained from previous elections, it's becoming difficult to even say, for sure, what happened. All this has led to the people wanting change.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What change? To a process that everyone can understand and verify for themselves. That would be beautiful, wouldn't it?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Measureable desire for change was already clear on August 9, 2022. My roughly 90-day Minnesota Secretary of State campaign garnered about 36.8% of the vote (nearly 111,000 votes) running as a republican alternative to the MNGOP-endorsed candidateーafter being effectively blocked from the endorsement processーbut that was only part of the beginning of my education into the system of control that is our election system.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the brief campaign, input from political consultants was not sought and no campaign donations were accepted. Instead of a traditional campaign, which allows money to be funneled around and messages to be diluted or tailored to the political machine's liking, the focus was on education and action. Instead of focusing on events, county commissioner meetings were attended with the people. When invited to speak, in one case by a non-party affiliated group, and another time by an endorsed Republican candidate, uniparty operatives tried to influence the organizers, who did not back down to the pressure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Running on a single issue, to repair elections with a particular focus on the tangled yet sophisticated web of the electronic voting system, was surprisingly simple and welcome. A bulk of the campaign was spent trying to get counties to turn over their cast vote records and ballot images; only one Minnesota county did for 2020 (Fillmore), about a month after I was given the first cast vote record file to my knowledge ever shown to the public, from the Chisago County primary election of August 9, 2022.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the end of the previous year (2021), Crow Wing County commissioners with great encouragement from the people passed a resolution seeking to audit their county's 2020 election, a request which Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon promptly denied in early January, 2022, keeping the inner workings of the system closed to public viewing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But even with the above 'run for office', I was somewhat late to the game. But there's no doubt I became fascinated. Maybe my early career work in an IT-adjacent department for a Fortune 100 helped me have just enough understanding about computers to follow the basic plot. Or maybe it was my interest in the tabletop board game Diplomacy, apparently one of JFK's favorites, where there are no rules against nor to penalize cheating.＜/p＞ ＜p＞My vantage point into the opaque election system had only begun months earlier in an inquisitive way, around summer of 2021, online, through a Telegram group seeking Minnesota's first true audit. Shortly after joining the online chat channel and volunteering to help out with communications, I was invited to a convention in South Dakota.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I would become one of perhaps only a few dozen people at each of the Cyber Symposium in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in August 2021, The Moment of Truth Summit in Springfield, Missouri, August 2022, and the Election Crime Bureau, Springfield, Missouri, in August 2023. From preparation for, participation in, and reflection on those multi-day events, I learned a great deal and realized how much more there was to learn.＜/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。

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Polio Vaccine - Jeffrey Kluger (Putnam Adult) 【紙書籍】 9780399152160

タイトル: Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Polio Vaccine著者: Jeffrey Kluger出版社: Putnam Adult出版日: 2005年02月01日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。The riveting story of one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century, from the coauthor of the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Apollo 13." With rivalries, reversals, and a race against time, the struggle to eradicate polio is one of the great tales of modern history. It begins with the birth of Jonas Salk, shortly before one of the worst polio epidemics in United States history. At the time, the disease was a terrifying enigma: striking from out of nowhere, it afflicted tens of thousands of children in this country each year and left them-literally overnight-paralyzed, and sometimes at death's door. Salk was in medical school just as a president crippled by the disease, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was taking office-and providing the impetus to the drive for studies on polio. By the early 1950s, Salk had already helped create an influenza vaccine, and was hot on the trail of the polio virus. He was nearly thwarted, though, by the politics of medicine and by a rival researcher eager to discredit his proposed solution. Meanwhile, in 1952, polio was spreading in record numbers, with 57,000 cases in the United States that summer alone. In early 1954, Salk was weighing the possibility of trials of a not-yet-perfected vaccine against-as the summer approached-the prospect of thousands more children being struck down by the disease. The results of the history-making trials were announced at a press conference on April 12, 1955: "The vaccine works." The room-and an entire nation-erupted in cheers for this singular medical achievement. Salk became a cultural hero and icon for a whole generation. Now, at the fiftieth anniversary of the first national vaccination program-and as humanity is tantalizingly close to eradicating polio worldwide-comes this unforgettable chronicle. Salk's work was an unparalleled achievement-and it makes for a magnificent read.

＜p＞Did you have a student visa, but went out of status? Did you work without authorization? Did you drop below full-time? Did you not pay your fees? Did you drop below a C average? Did you improperly transfer? Bogged down by the regulations and requirements? You lost your status and now wondering what to do? Already been denied? The F-1 Student Reinstatement petition is just what you need. If approved, then you could be placed back into legal status, goto school, get a newly issues I-20 and it would be as though you were never out of status. You need to apply for this as the only realistic way of getting back into legal status. You cannot leave the U.S. and then try to get reinstated as by that time, you have no status. It will be rejected if not done properly because the officer either does not believe you merit a positive reinstatement grant, or that you did not provide a persuasive enough argument or you simply did not do it properly. If not done properly, you will not be able to continue with your education, will remain out of status and could get deported. This sample F-1 Student Reinstatement Petition is for you. It has everything necessary to give you the best chance possible to get an approval. Just input your own information and use the application as a guide. It has been prepared by an expert immigration attorney. Thus, this book will allow you to see a guide of how it is done, prepared and submitted.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The following are ways a student might violate their F-1 status:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Failing to enroll full time during a fall or spring semester (or summer if first semester) without receiving approval for a reduced course load from the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO)＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Failing to check in with ISSO at the beginning of academic program＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Failing to complete change of educational levels within 60 days of completing previous degree program＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Working more than 20 hours on campus during the fall or spring semester＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞Exception: students may work full time during official school breaks: Thanksgiving and Spring Break＜/p＞ ＜ol start="5"＞ ＜li＞Working off campus without obtaining approval from the ISSO or USCIS＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞As an Immigration Lawyer, we are very aware of the red tape and the multiple items that could go wrong with any particular petition and/or application. Thus, this example should provide you a very clear path with which you can use to prepare your own F-1 Reinstatement Petition in order to proceed forward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sample F-1 Reinstatement Petition petition will give lots of great information and a significant amount of information and data that will comply with the requirements. Note that it is not an automatic grant and it is not just filling out some forms. This is your burden to prove to the immigration officer and to convince that officer you should be reinstated even after falling out of status. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary F-1 Reinstatement 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 and continue your education. 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 F-1 Reinstatement Petition.＜/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。

＜p＞In the late nineteenth century, Lakeside, Ohio, was founded as a Methodist camp meeting ground, where the faithful could study and find inspiration in a setting of scenic beauty. Today, the community continues to serve its original purpose, as well as being a popular resort on Lake Erie.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author's long association with Lakeside has provided her with a wealth of memories, some of which she shares in this book. Miss Durr scans many aspects of Lakeside; its scenic glory, the inspirational and entertaining programs that have been given there through the years, and, especially, the people.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is the personal sketches, including many about still-active members of the community, that help the reader understand why Lakeside has endured with such vitality. A place is its people, and the people of Lakeside were their town's builders. They have maintained Lakeside with dedication to their purpose and with pride in their community. This pride has resulted in the restoration of old homes, and in a feeling for the history of the village as expressed in the founding of its museum, Heritage Hall.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The summer programs sponsored by the Lakeside Association are the heart of its mission. They combine inspirational talks by well-known ministers and foreign missionaries with education by such guest speakers as Lowell Thomas and Branch Rickey and entertainment by such artists as Eileen Farrell and Mimi Benzell.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Miss Durr's lively sketches of both local residents and famous visitors are a valuable source of local history.

＜p＞During the spring and summer of 2021, global news reports were filled with the impending US/NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan. At best, it would be viewed as a stalemate, with an orderly transition to a stable, US-backed Afghan government. At worse, it would be looked upon as two decades of futile war, ending with a shameful retreat that left the county at the mercy of a ruthless Taliban regime. What went wrong?＜br /＞ This close look at the history of foreign invasions of the country, from Alexander the Great to the US/NATO occupation, gives insight into the geographical and cultural reasons this land, in the valley of the Hindu Kush mountain range, has long earned the sobriquet: Graveyard of Empires.＜/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＞Excitement filled the air in Alma, Arkansas on the night of June 9, 1995. A crowd of nearly three hundred surrounded the baseball pitch to watch a little league game on a warm summer night. Cheering could be heard echoing around the town, reaching far from the stadium. In what appeared to be a perfect summer's evening, spirits were high, with adults chatting jovially and children playing together, making new friends. But for one mother, the midsummer evening would become a living nightmare in an incident she would describe in an interview for Fox News as "pure childhood innocence and such evil that met in [the] same moment." Her six-year-old daughter disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again.＜/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。

The killer attacked eight people within ten weeks, five of whom were killed with the attacks occurring late at night, hence the name "Moonlight Murders."

＜p＞New Orleans has always managed to create a mix of the mysterious and the macabre in our minds. As a city, it is different; its jazz, its location and openness to the elements, its cosmopolitan community. At the turn of the last century, the French influence was still strong. A quarter of the population spoke the Gallic language, and French newspapers were still popular. But these Northern Europeans were not the only significant immigrant group to reside there.＜br /＞ In 1915, Atlantic storms blew into the vulnerable city, and floods threatened lives and buildings. But still the city stood, tall and firm, against all that nature could throw against it. Yet if it could withstand the onslaught of the natural world, the same was not necessarily true of the human one.＜br /＞ Back in 1910, a particularly savage crime took place, a vicious, merciless assault with an axe There is something almost primordial about such an attack. On this occasion, the victim survived, and in a city where racial tensions were rife, where child labour still flourished, the confrontation went largely unnoticed by the wider community. Then, in the early summer of 1911, another incident took place and this time the assault proved fatal. Joe Davi was, in all probability, the first man to die at the hands of the Axeman of New Orleans.＜/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＞In the 1980s, a series of murders called "The Tube Sock Killings" began.＜br /＞ We should probably start our examination of this brief but intense reign of terror with the first case where the sock was undoubtedly used in some form or other. There are other victims, from earlier, who may also have succumbed to the same killer. But less certainty surrounds these. It was August 1985 and forty-two-year-old Ruth Cooper and her boyfriend, the splendidly bearded Stephen Harkins, her boyfriend who was fifteen years her junior, were enjoying their summer break from the vocational school where they taught in their Tacoma, Washington, home.＜br /＞ During the second week of the month, they had a wedding to attend and had decided, following the reception in their home city, to travel south and spend the remainder of the weekend camping in a remote forest location.＜br /＞ They were due to return on the evening of Sunday 11th, but when they did not, friends and family members started to become concerned. For three days nothing was heard of the couple. But then, on Wednesday 14th August, a gruesome discovery was made. Some hikers were walking through the forest, enjoying the summer weather and quiet, when they came across two bodies. The first was still in his sleeping bag. Stephen Harkins had been shot, once, in the head. The bullet wound was fatal. Then nearby, a much smaller body was discovered. This time it was Stephen and Ruth's dog, also shot.

＜p＞As shocking as it might seem, there are over 100,000 missing person cases active in the United States this very second. While the majority of them are eventually found, there is a large percentage of those who have been gone for years. The police extended their investigations as much as they could, and they reached the very end because there was no new information. Finally, those cases simply turn cold.＜br /＞ Missing person cases are particularly difficult for both families and friends. All of them are left without answers about what happened to their loved one, and they are constantly waiting for a break in the case, hoping they will have closure. The Daniels family lived through all of this in the summer of 2013 when their daughter Tiffany went missing one afternoon. It is one of the most perplexing cases in the history of Pensacola, Florida that still puzzles the investigators.＜/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 Appointed Times of Yahweh【電子書籍】[ MAIMBOLWA MULIWANA ]

＜p＞The author was motivated to write this book to encourage the restoration of the observation and commitment to the appointments or calendar of the Most High that was designed for the benefit of humankind. The calendar of the Most High reveals the Gospel and the Salvation plan of the Most High. It also reveals and guides true ways of sacrifices, offerings and worship. While the Children of Israel observed the appointed times (or calendar) in shadow form (pointing to the object to come) the New Testament Church (Congregation) observed the appointed times in OBJECT form and not in shadow forms. The shadow forms prophetically pointed to the Object forms. The shadows were prophecy about the object. As the children of Israel observed the appointed times, they were prophesying about the object forms to come later. We are living in a period where the OBJECT has come already.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The following are the benefits to the reader after reading this book:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Faith shall grow as the reader notices that the shadows in the scriptures ? Genesis to Malachi ? were later amplified by the OBJECTS later in the Gospels and also the perfect timing of events over thousands of years.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞More insight and understanding of the Salvation plan of the Most High in inspired scriptures ? Genesis to Revelation.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Understanding of the heavenly pattern of offerings, sacrifices and worship guiding believers.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Understanding of the spiritual lessons in shadows that were pointing to the objects. The shadow teaches about the object.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞The reader shall be so much amazed at the divine wisdom of God (Yahweh) that is also expressed in His appointments (calendar) of events outlined in inspired scriptures.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you." (Exodus 12:1-2)＜/p＞ ＜p＞The early church (congregation) kept the appointed times as shall be seen in scriptures referred to in this book and they were victorious because of their faith in the Word including the calendar of Yahweh. Perfect timing for everything leads to success and victory. The calendar of the Most High enhances this. When the church (congregation) forgot about the calendar of the Most High she was defeated in almost every area. Restoration of the Calendar of the wise God shall contribute to the success of the church (congregation) in her walk and mission of God.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author wishes the reader an enjoyable reading and a successful spiritual life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22)＜/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。

What is perhaps better known than her music is her personal story. In the summer of 1974, she left her home, disillusioned by her lack of success in pursuit of stardom.

【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！】Divine Appointments: Daily Devotionals Based on God's Calendar - Summer Divine Appointments: Daily Devotionals Based On God's Calendar, #2【電子書籍】[ Tracy Krauss ]

＜p＞In the Bible, God gave specific instructions about setting apart certain days, weeks, and special celebrations ? His appointed times. This daily devotional walks readers through the summer season of the year by following the Jewish months and is the second volume in this series. Each day contains a short devotional, scripture, and prayer. While many Jews continue to observe this schedule of events, many Christians feel that it is not relevant, or that the New Testament did away with these traditions. Scripture does not back this up. In fact, both Jesus and the early church followed these appointed times. One might argue that they did so because they were Jewish, but Christians should be reminded that they have been 'grafted in' to that very tree! Observing God's calendar is not the same as taking up a burden of tradition and is not necessary for salvation. Instead, it is a way to celebrate and enhance our heritage as children of God.＜/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。

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood - Stephen Mills (Metropolitan Books) 【紙書籍】 9781250823212

タイトル: Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood著者: Stephen Mills出版社: Metropolitan Books出版日: 2022年04月26日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。An unparalleled achievement, a work of shattering, almost unbearable radiance. I did not stop crying throughout. For Mills. For my young self. For all of us who have lived and continue to live in that pitiless abyss of childhood abuse. To read this courageous book is to be transformed utterly by Mills's empathy, resilience, and grace. Mark my words: Chosen is destined to be a classic because this is a book that will save lives.--Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao At thirteen years old, Stephen Mills is chosen for special attention by the director of his Jewish summer camp, a charismatic social worker intent on becoming his friend. Stephen, whose father died when he was four, places his trust in this authority figure, who first grooms and then molests him for two years. Stephen tells no one, but the aftershocks rip through his adult life, as intense as his denial: self-loathing, drug abuse, petty crime, and horrific nightmares, all made worse by the discovery that his abuser is moving from camp to camp, state to state, molesting other boys. Only physical and mental collapse bring Stephen to confront the truth of his boyhood and begin the painful process of recovery--as well as a decades-long crusade to stop a serial predator, find justice, and hold to account those who failed the children in their care. The trauma of sexual abuse is shared by one out of every six men, yet very few have broken their silence. Unflinching and compulsively readable, Chosen eloquently speaks for those countless others and their families. It is a rare act of consummate courage and generosity--the indelible story of a man who faces his torment and his tormentor and, in the process, is made whole.
