＜p＞From as far back as I am able to remember, I loved to sit and listen to my mother, Anna, and her sisters, Regina and Mildred, talk for hours on end of their childhood and what it was like for them growing up poor on the streets of Manhattan.＜br /＞ Of all the times I sat with them, my favorite times were the ones we spent in my Aunt Regina's kitchen at her summer bungalow out on Long Island. Around midnight, each sister took her usual place at the table and there they would sit, and talk, and sip tea until dawn.＜br /＞ Even as a babe in arms, I just couldn't get enough of their stories. Through my tenderest of years, my mind was their naked canvas where each of them, in their own animated way, took center stage and painted for me the most vivid pictures of the story of their lives and their world in another time.＜/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＞Warm, humid, salty air hovered over the city like a blanket. The unsuspecting small coastal community was bustling with energy and possibility; the town was alive with the sound of creaking ship masts, vendors, and on Market Street, new shops and businesses were settling in as the economy began to show signs of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One reason for the growth and prosperity was trading routes from faraway lands. Ships came from Europe, the Caribbean, and even China, carrying cargoes filled with lumber, tobacco, rice, and flour, as international trade expanded. In the 1790s, the port of Philadelphia was home to the busiest harbor in the New World.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But along with great prosperity came a dreaded sickness for which small port cities were unprepared. The illness seemed to strike randomly but with more regularity, usually in the summer months, and no cause could be determined. Many theories began to emerge about this deadly illness that was like no other. It would strike without warning and turn thriving communities into ghost towns in a matter of weeks.＜/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！】Red Summer: The Racial Violence of 1919 and the Birth of the Civil Rights Movement【電子書籍】[ Ronan Kelly ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Red Summer: The Racial Violence of 1919 and the Birth of the Civil Rights Movement＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The summer of 1919 witnessed the worst outbreak of racial violence in American history. In cities from Washington to Chicago to rural Arkansas, white mobs attacked Black communities, killing hundreds and destroying millions of dollars in property. Yet this "Red Summer" has been largely erased from mainstream American memory.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This groundbreaking history reveals how the violence of 1919 transformed American race relations. Black veterans who had fought for democracy in France returned home determined to fight for it in America, organizing armed resistance that marked a decisive break with accommodation. The massacres prompted the NAACP's transformation from a small advocacy group into the nation's premier civil rights organization, while J. Edgar Hoover used the violence to justify permanent federal surveillance of Black activism that would persist for generations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on archival research, survivor testimony, and previously overlooked sources, this book demonstrates how the Red Summer shaped everything that followed: the Harlem Renaissance's cultural flowering, the legal strategies that would dismantle Jim Crow, and the militant self-defense traditions that informed later movements. The story of 1919 reveals why America forgot this historyーand why Black communities preserved it as essential knowledge for survival.＜/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！】Byzantine Warrior: War in the East, African Adventures and the Italian Debacle【電子書籍】[ Simon Huston ]

＜p＞In 527AD Justinian is crowned Emperor but sends his young relative, Vitalian, to study in Alexandria. The youth falls in love with the exotic pagan, Passara. Disillusioned with academia, Vitalian enlists in the Legions. Fighting in Syria and the Caucasus transforms the pampered legate into a battle-hardened cavalry officer. In 529, Vitalian arrives on the Danube front but that winter the barbarians swarm across the frozen river and capture him. Meanwhile, in the East, General Belisarius withstands a Persians onslaught against the isolated fortress at Daras. When the Emperor hears of Vitalian's fate, he orders the veteran, Zimarchus, to rescue him from the Dacian mines. Zimarchus dies in the operation but Vitalian escapes the war-ravaged Bulgarian frontier and returns to the luxuriant court at Constantinople. He becomes the personal bodyguard of the glittering Empress and former prostitute, Theodora. As Egyptian and Orthodox priests squabble, rivalry at court pits the ruthless and debauched praetorian prefect, John the Cappadocian, against the Empress' prot?g?s: Peter the Patrician, the eunuch Narses and Belisarius' unfaithful wife, Antonina. Austerity, corruption and court machinations cripple the Byzantine economy. In 532, the Nika revolt convulses the regime. To cling on to power, mercenaries slaughter 30,000 rebels in the Hippodrome. In the massacre's aftermath, Justinian cements his authority by rebuilding Hagia Sophia, denouncing heresy and planning reconquest. The Arian Vandals in Africa are his first target. Carthage becomes a hotbed of espionage as the Byzantines gather intelligence for their planned invasion. In 532, Euphemia - the Cappadocian's daughter - seduces the Vandal king, Gelimer. The following summer, General Belisarius sets sail with a Byzantine expeditionary force. Despite corruption, food contamination and Antonina's shameless perfidy, Belisarius routes the dissolute Germans. Vitalian garrisons Corsica but, in 535, the Empress orders him to kill her rival, Amalsuintha. The Goths have imprisoned their Italian Queen on Lake Bolsena. Her murder provides the Byzantines a convenient pretext for invasion. However, Belisarius initial victories fizzle out. The Emperor, jealous of his now famous general, emasculates the Italian expeditionary force and muddles its command structure. The inevitable consequence is civilian massacres and a stalemate. In the East, the Sasanids ravage the frontier. Not until Artabanes returns from Eastern Africa is peace eventually restored to Armenia. Meanwhile, in Italy the Gothic war drags on interminably. Farms are abandoned and Rome's population falls to 500. Vitalian sails to Constantinople to beg Justinian for finance and reinforcements but Narses, now Chamberlain, frustrates him. Languishing at court, the commander falls in love with the aristocratic and nubile Justina. The couple return to Italy but their relationship sours as Narses power waxes. In 553, the last Gothic king mortally wounds Vitalian. The dying Byzantine commander dictates his memories but remains estranged from his beguiling spouse. Vitalian's autobiography spans war in the East, Imperial adventure and the Italian debacle. Priests urge Vitalian to confess - did he kill Amalsuintha as Theodora ordered?＜/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！】UFOs over the White House【電子書籍】[ Andrew Parry ]

＜p＞In the sultry summer of July 1952, the world's most guarded city witnessed something it could not explain. Glowing lights darted across the night sky over Washington, D.C., tracked by military radar, reported by commercial pilots, and even seen above the White House and the Capitol dome. Jets were scrambled, alarms were raised, and the headlines the next morning screamed of ＜em＞flying saucers over the capital＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The lights faded, but the questions never did.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞UFOs over the White House＜/em＞ takes you on a compelling journey through that pivotal moment in American historyーknown as the Washington Flapーand follows the ripples it sent through the decades that followed. Meticulously researched and written in an engaging, conversational style, this book invites you to step back into the humid July nights when the world's strongest military was caught off guard by something that seemed to defy explanation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Discover how radar operators in the nation's control towers tracked erratic targets performing impossible maneuvers. Hear from fighter pilots who chased lights that seemed to out-fly their jets. See how the media of the 1950s amplified the story and how government officials scrambled to reassure a nervous public with explanations that satisfied few. Learn why those few nights in 1952 became a cornerstone for UFO research, a spark for public fascination, and a source of lasting suspicion toward official secrecy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the story does not stop there. This book explores the wider context of the eraーthe Cold War tensions that shaped the response, the birth of America's first official UFO programs like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, and the intelligence agencies that weighed whether the sightings were Soviet technology or something far stranger. It examines the famous claim that President Dwight Eisenhower may have secretly met with alien visitors, unpacks the legends of the alleged "Eisenhower Treaty," and places them in their historical contextーseparating fact from folklore while respecting the enduring mystery.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You will travel across borders to investigate similar events that echoed Washington's drama: aerial sightings over Moscow's Kremlin, waves of encounters across France and Belgium, Father Gill's extraordinary reports from Papua New Guinea, and dramatic cases in Argentina, Mexico, and Australia. These global parallels show that the 1952 Flap was not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern that defied easy explanation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞UFOs over the White House＜/em＞ also reveals how those nights changed not only ufology but the nation itself. It explores how mistrust of government secrecy grew, how sceptics and believers debated over radar blips and eyewitness memories, and how the incident became a cultural symbolーshaping movies, television, books, and the public imagination for generations. The narrative brings you up to the twenty-first century, showing how modern emergency alert systems, drones, and advanced sensors have changed the way we respond to aerial anomalies over Washington today, yet how the core questions remain remarkably the same.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With a storyteller's touch and a historian's rigor, this book confronts what we know, what we don't, and what may forever lie in the gaps of memory and missing records. It respects both the sceptics who demand solid proof and the witnesses who stood under the night sky and swore they saw something extraordinary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At its heart, ＜em＞UFOs over the White House＜/em＞ is not simply about what was in the skyーit's about what happens when mystery hovers over the heart of power, how we respond when the unknown challenges our sense of security, and why the legacy of those strange July nights continues to shape the world's fascination with UFOs today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The lights over Washington faded with the dawn, but their storyーand the questions they left behindーstill illuminate the skies of our imagination.＜/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＞In ancient Rome, the most feared disease wasn't just dreadedーit was worshipped.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Three temples stood on Rome's prestigious hills, dedicated not to benevolent protectors but to Febris herself: the goddess of burning fever. As malaria claimed countless lives each summer, Romans responded with a solution both pragmatic and profoundーthey deified their tormentor.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This revelatory study uncovers the forgotten cult of Febris through temple remains, ritual vessels, and fever amulets that still bear traces of medicinal compounds. Why would sophisticated Romans worship the very force that ravaged them? The answer illuminates a culture that refused to deny life's harshest realities, instead creating religious frameworks that transformed helplessness into agency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From strategic temples positioned at the edge of mosquito-breeding marshlands to the evolution of fever worship during Christianity's rise, this work reveals how Romans navigated vulnerability through divine negotiation. More than an archaeological curiosity, the paradoxical worship of Febris offers a window into how societies create meaning and resilience when confronting their greatest fearsーa lesson as relevant in our pandemic age as it was in the shadow of the Palatine.＜/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。

Incorporated in 1723, Northfield became a crossroads for travel and commerce, supporting ferries, taverns, mills, and other farm-related businesses. Elegant Federal-style homes crafted in the 1800s by the Stearns brothers still line the iconic Main Street. Northfield native Dwight L. Moody, a famous evangelist, founded area schools and summer conferences. In the late 19th century, the quiet farming town became heaven on earth to Moody's followers, who arrived by the hundreds each summer seeking spiritual renewal and relief from the cities. The railroad brought visitors to the first American youth hostel and to the popular Northfield Inn and Chateau, where many permanent residents found employment. Around Northfield, Queen Anne-style homes provided lodging for boarders, while tearooms, milliners, liveries, and grocers served visitors. Today, Northfield's vitality and spirit endures, forged by education, hard work, civic engagement, and perseverance.

＜p＞＜strong＞The mystery began in the desertーand it has never gone away.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the summer of 1947, something extraordinary crashed on a quiet ranch outside Roswell, New Mexico. The U.S. Army Air Force issued a stunning press release: a "flying disc" had been recovered. Within twenty-four hours, the story was replaced with a safer explanation: a weather balloon. The press moved on. The military moved fast. But the public never forgot.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What really happened in Roswell? Was it a simple case of misidentified debrisーor the most important event in modern history, hidden in plain sight?＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Roswell Incident＜/em＞ is the definitive exploration of this enduring mystery. Written for truth seekers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the unknown, this book is more than a retelling of a famous crash. It is a journey through the entire world that produced Roswell and the decades of secrecy that followed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Across eighty detailed chapters, this guidebook uncovers the larger story behind the legend:＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The dawn of the nuclear age, when secret cities and atomic tests changed the desert forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ Strange sightings during World War IIーthe "foo fighters" and the growing presence of mystery craft in the skies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The rancher, the sheriff, the intelligence officer, and the press release that shocked the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The military's swift lockdown of Roswell, the silenced witnesses, and the trucks that carried strange cargo into the night.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The shifting explanationsーweather balloons, Mogul balloons, crash-test dummiesーand why each one raised more questions than answers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The creation of Majestic 12, Area 51, and the machinery of secrecy that grew from Roswell into a system of silence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The whistle-blowers, deathbed confessions, and persistent testimonies that kept the fire burning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ The FOIA battles, GAO investigations, and congressional hearings that dragged Roswell into the modern era.＜/p＞ ＜p＞・ And finally, what Roswell means todayーas humanity edges closer to a future where the question of contact can no longer be denied.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not a book of speculation dressed as fact, nor is it a dry catalog of reports. It is a guidebook in the truest sense, leading the reader step by step through the landscapes of history, testimony, secrecy, and culture that make Roswell more than an incident. It shows how a single event in a dusty corner of New Mexico became a mirror reflecting our deepest hopes and fears: are we alone, and can we trust those who claim to guard the truth?＜/p＞ ＜p＞More than seventy-five years after the crash, Roswell remains the fulcrum of the UFO story. It is the case that sparked a movement, that birthed ufology as a modern discipline, that forced governments to explain and re-explain, and that still haunts the edges of our understanding. To study Roswell is to study how secrecy works, how myths endure, and how ordinary people bear witness to the extraordinary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you come as a believer, a sceptic, or a curious traveler in search of perspective, ＜em＞The Roswell Incident＜/em＞ will give you the tools, context, and knowledge to engage with the mystery on its own terms. It invites you to step into the desert of 1947 and trace the story forward into our own timeーwhere the echoes of Roswell still shape the way we talk about the skies above us.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Roswell is not just history. It is a lesson. It is a warning.

＜p＞In the summer of 1952, Israel's entire signals intelligence capability could have fitted comfortably into a modest shipping warehouseーwhich was, in fact, precisely where it resided. A handful of technicians working with surplus equipment salvaged from British and American military stocks represented the totality of the young nation's ambitions in electronic espionage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seven decades later, that improvised collection of radio operators had evolved into something its founders could never have imagined: the architect of the world's first true cyber weapon, the incubator for a technology empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and the training ground for entrepreneurs who would reshape how humanity navigates, communicates, and protects its digital infrastructure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the story I've spent years researching and writing.

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Last Englishmen: Love, War, and the End of Empire - Deborah Baker (Graywolf Press) 【紙書籍】 9781555978044

タイトル: Last Englishmen: Love, War, and the End of Empire著者: Deborah Baker出版社: Graywolf Press出版日: 2018年08月21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。A sumptuous biographical saga, both intimate and epic, about the waning of the British Empire in India John Auden was a pioneering geologist of the Himalaya. Michael Spender was the first to draw a detailed map of the North Face of Mount Everest. While their younger brothers--W. H. Auden and Stephen Spender--achieved literary fame, they vied to be included on an expedition that would deliver Everest's summit to an Englishman, a quest that had become a metaphor for Britain's struggle to maintain power over India. To this rivalry was added another: in the summer of 1938 both men fell in love with a painter named Nancy Sharp. Her choice would determine where each man's wartime loyalties would lie. Set in Calcutta, London, the glacier-locked wilds of the Karakoram, and on Everest itself, The Last Englishmen is also the story of a generation. The cast of this exhilarating drama includes Indian and English writers and artists, explorers and Communist spies, Die Hards and Indian nationalists, political rogues and police informers. Key among them is a highborn Bengali poet named Sudhin Datta, a melancholy soul torn, like many of his generation, between hatred of the British Empire and a deep love of European literature, whose life would be upended by the arrival of war on his Calcutta doorstep. Dense with romance and intrigue, and of startling relevance for the great power games of our own day, Deborah Baker's The Last Englishmen is an engrossing story that traces the end of empire and the stirring of a new world order.

【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！】A Walking Tour of Corning, New York【電子書籍】[ Doug Gelbert ]

＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Erastus Corning never had anything to do with glassmaking and probably never visited the town that bears his name. Corning began his business career in Troy, New York in 1808 at the age of 13 behind the counter of his uncle's hardware store. In his work as a hardware man Corning was a dealer in all manner of iron products, from nails and stoves to farming equipment and railroad tracks. The Corning hardware store was one of the most significant businesses in the Hudson Valley by the 1830s and morphed into the Rensselaer Iron Works, which, under Corning's guidance, installed the first Bessemer converter in the United States. Meanwhile, Corning was founding the Albany State Bank and branching into railroads which he would organize into America's largest corporation, the New York Central. Amidst these interests Corning dabbled in politics, putting in a term as mayor of Albany and doing a stint in the New York state senate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With his few moments of spare time Corning invested in land speculation in western New York. One place that caught his interest was timberlands along the Chemung River. With the opening of the Chemung Canal in 1833 large mills were sprouting to float logs and finished lumber out of little villages in the region. Corning was at the head of one investor group that gobbled up a village along the canal so the town was named for him. The plan was to build a railroad from the new anthracite coal lands of northeast Pennsylvania and ship it out via the canal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the canal and the railroads the village of Corning blossomed as a transportation center. One of the manufacturers who was attracted by the area's cheap coal and transportation was Amory Houghton who was running the Brooklyn Flint Glass Works in, of course, Brooklyn, New York. When the people of Corning offered to put up $50,000 to his $75,000 Houghton began work on a new glass plant on June 1868 and was producing cut glass by October 22, 1868. The business was now the Corning Glass Works and the community was on its way to being "Crystal City." Houghton left the business and the company's new name and retired to his farm in Westchester County in 1870.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There were other industries in the hustling little town - there were firms making iron and bricks and drills and stoves but they would all pale behind the global corporation that became one with the name of the town. The face of that town would change forever in the summer of 1972 when flood waters from Hurricane Agnes wiped away businesses and factories. In the aftermath Corning has reinvented itself as an art town and tourist destination with the Corning Museum of Glass at its heart.

＜p＞Chechnya's modern history is marked by its fluctuating ties with the Russian Empire and, later, the Soviet Union. A notable dark chapter was in 1944 when Joseph Stalin ordered the mass deportation of Chechnya's entire population. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, tensions between ethnic Russians and Chechens escalated into two full-blown wars. The first, in 1994, saw Russian forces invade Chechnya. Though they met their immediate military objectives, the conflict tarnished both Russia's and Boris Yeltsin's image on the world stage, and by 1996, Russian troops had fully retreated from Chechen soil.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the summer of 1999, mounting unrest and the emergence of Muslim warlords in Chechnya stirred conflict with Russia once more. Amid this backdrop, Boris Yeltsin's health was deteriorating, and an aspiring politician, Vladimir Putin, was on the rise. As Putin eyed the Russian presidency, he recognized the need to demonstrate effective leadership. This aspiration culminated in a brutal war and the subsequent establishment of a Chechen regime aligned with Putin's interests.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Understanding the Chechen Wars is vital to any understanding of how Russia developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union and how that federation became dominated by one man: Vladimir Putin.

＜p＞NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN SPACE: A HIDDEN HISTORY AND MODERN THREAT＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞A Groundbreaking Investigation into Humanity's Most Dangerous Experiment＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the summer of 1962, a nuclear weapon one hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb detonated 400 kilometers above Earth, creating artificial auroras visible in Hawaii and crippling satellites across the Pacific. This was Starfish Primeーjust one episode in a secret Cold War arms race that transformed space into a nuclear battlefield and nearly derailed humanity's cosmic destiny.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dr. Naim Tahir Baig's meticulously researched expos? reveals the shocking untold story of nuclear weapons in space, from the early atmospheric tests that created artificial radiation belts lasting decades to the ambitious Project Orion spacecraft powered by atomic explosions. Drawing from newly declassified documents, scientific studies, and expert interviews, this book separates Cold War realities from Hollywood myths while examining the genuine perils these weapons pose to our satellite-dependent civilization.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Nuclear Weapons in Space＜/strong＞ explores how both superpowers secretly conducted dozens of high-altitude nuclear tests, contaminating Earth's orbital environment and threatening space exploration for generations. The book reveals the hidden environmental consequences of these experiments, including enhanced Van Allen radiation belts, satellite casualties, and electromagnetic pulses that disrupted communications across vast regions of the Pacific.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As tensions escalate in 2025 with reports of Russia developing nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapons, Dr. Baig's analysis becomes urgently relevant. The book examines how space-based nuclear detonations can create electromagnetic pulses spanning continents, artificial radiation belts persisting for decades, and debris fields that render entire orbital regions inaccessible. Unlike terrestrial nuclear weapons with geographically limited effects, space nuclear weapons threaten the fundamental sustainability of space exploration itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through compelling narratives of near-miss incidents, cover-ups, and scientific discoveries, the book challenges popular misconceptions while presenting sobering evidence of how the militarization of space through nuclear weapons endangers not only international security but humanity's future beyond Earth. Dr. Baig's work serves as both historical documentation and urgent warning, demonstrating that the choices we make today will determine whether future generations inherit a space environment suitable for exploration or a radioactive graveyard of our own making.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Essential reading for scholars of international relations, space policy experts, and anyone concerned about the intersection of nuclear weapons and space exploration in an era of renewed great power competition.＜/strong＞＜/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。

Since debuting as the host of Jeopardy! in 1984, Alex Trebek has been something like a family member to millions of television viewers, bringing entertainment and education into their homes five nights a week. Last year, he made the stunning announcement that he had been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. What followed was an incredible outpouring of love and kindness. Social media was flooded with messages of support, and the Jeopardy! studio received boxes of cards and letters offering guidance, encouragement, and prayers. For over three decades, Trebek had resisted countless appeals to write a book about his life. Yet he was moved so much by all the goodwill, he felt compelled to finally share his story. "I want people to know a little more about the person they have been cheering on for the past year," he writes in The Answer Is... Reflections on My Life. The book combines illuminating personal anecdotes with Trebek's thoughts on a range of topics, including marriage, parenthood, education, success, spirituality, and philanthropy. Trebek also addresses the questions he gets asked most often by Jeopardy! fans, such as what prompted him to shave his signature mustache, his insights on legendary players like Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer, and his opinion of Will Ferrell's Saturday Night Live impersonation. The book uses a novel structure inspired by Jeopardy!, with each chapter title in the form of a question, and features dozens of never-before-seen photos that candidly capture Trebek over the years. This wise, charming, and inspiring book is further evidence why Trebek has long been considered one of the most beloved and respected figures in entertainment.

Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have approved the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote; one last state--Tennessee--is needed for women's voting rights to be the law of the land. The suffragists face vicious opposition from politicians, clergy, corporations, and racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis"--women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the nation's moral collapse. And in one hot summer, they all converge for a confrontation, replete with booze and blackmail, betrayal and courage. Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, The Woman's Hour is the gripping story of how America's women won their own freedom, and the opening campaign in the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.
