新しい本, 英語で予約する, 洋書Real Queer America: Lgbt Stories from Red States - Samantha Allen (Back Bay Books) 【紙書籍】 9780316516020

タイトル: Real Queer America: Lgbt Stories from Red States著者: Samantha Allen出版社: Back Bay Books出版日: 2020年06月16日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALISTA transgender reporter's "powerful, profoundly moving" narrative tour through the surprisingly vibrant queer communities sprouting up in red states (New York Times Book Review), offering a vision of a stronger, more humane America. Ten years ago, Samantha Allen was a suit-and-tie-wearing Mormon missionary. Now she's a GLAAD Award-winning journalist happily married to another woman. A lot in her life has changed, but what hasn't changed is her deep love of Red State America, and of queer people who stay in so-called "flyover country" rather than moving to the liberal coasts. In Real Queer America, Allen takes us on a cross-country road-trip stretching all the way from Provo, Utah to the Rio Grande Valley to the Bible Belt to the Deep South. Her motto for the trip: "Something gay every day." Making pit stops at drag shows, political rallies, and hubs of queer life across the heartland, she introduces us to scores of extraordinary LGBT people working for change, from the first openly transgender mayor in Texas history to the manager of the only queer night club in Bloomington, Indiana, and many more. Capturing profound cultural shifts underway in unexpected places and revealing a national network of chosen family fighting for a better world, Real Queer America is a treasure trove of uplifting stories and a much-needed source of hope and inspiration in these divided times.

【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 Idea of North Poems of the North Country【電子書籍】[ Doug Linder ]

＜p＞The poetry of Doug Linder is characterized by plain speech, empathy, wit, and a penchant for taking readers to surprising places. The Idea of North brings together more than fifty poems set in the North Country (“Is it a place or is it an idea?”). Linder’s poetic imaginings wander the North from the polar-bear-prowled streets of Churchill to hot springs under Montana’s big sky, but he returns most often to the place he knows best, Minnesota’s distinctive “North Shore,” the wild lands north of Lake Superior. Many of these playful poems consider wildlife (you’ll find poems about lynx, moose, wolves and woodpeckers) and the natural world (lichens, dragonflies, northern lights), but the collection also includes poems about such diverse subjects as curling, maple syrup, taconite plants, second homes, and a gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Deftly mixing deep insights and play, this is a poetry book even for people who thought they didn’t like poetry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Doug Linder is a native Minnesotan who splits time between Kansas, where he teaches law, and Lutsen, Minnesota, where he and his wife Cheryl have, for decades, spent their summers. Author of two popular books on legal professionalism, a lecturer on historic trials and civil liberties issues in the “Great Courses” series, and creator of the Web’s largest and most visited website on famous trials, Linder has long kept his poetry from public viewーuntil recently, when his poems began receiving attention in places ranging from Garrison Keillor’s Writer’s Almanac to Scientific American. He loves to hike, travel, read, canoe, curl, and take regular dips into the energizing waters of Lake Superior.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Book Review:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Doug Linder has a most definite idea about the North, especially the area Midwesterners refer to as “The North Shore.” It’s an idea that comes from years of roaming the shores of Lake Superior, getting to know its people, towns, wildlife, and traditionsーan idea rooted in sheer love for a place out “In the Middle of Nowhere.” What is the best way to preserve something amazing and beautiful? What is the best way to share it? Linder finds making poetry suitable for both; in one of his “spot of time” poems, he tells his twenty-three-year-old self to “memorize” a meeting with a lone wolf: “Remember his amber eyes, / and his leisurely lope across the snow-covered tundra.” Forty years later, he remembers how the moment pierced him, “setting [him] on fire.” Such transfers of experience fill the collection as the narrator looks for ways to pass his “sense of place” down to the next generation (and the next). “We want them to love what we love,” he admits, and happily for us, the poems in The Idea of North bring us a long way there." -- Joyce Sutphen, poet laureate of Minnesota (2011-2021) and author of Carrying Water to the Field and This Long Winter＜/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！】How to Pass a Checkride【電子書籍】[ Ben York III ]

＜p＞＜em＞How to Pass a Checkride＜/em＞ details the wisdom garnered by author and pilot Ben York III’s many years of giving and taking countless practical tests in aviation. His professional experience testifies to the fact that the majority of unsatisfactory performance in aviation test taking is due to the emotional aspect, not the technical aspect. ＜em＞How to Pass a Checkride＜/em＞ attempts to identify, highlight, and mitigate the emotional aspects of taking the practical testーand how to succeed as a pilot.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ben York III is an American author and career aviator of almost fifty years. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science in business from Pepperdine University, Ben set his sights squarely on a career in professional aviation. His aviation career encompasses FAA qualifications ranging from aviation maintenance to professional flight instruction. As an FAA-Designated Pilot Examiner, he has given thousands of check rides and has completed more than 20,000 flight hours in over 300 different makes and models of airplanes and helicopters. Ben is arguably one of the US’s highest rated aviation professionals, and he has taught, mentored, and inspired future generations of top American aviators. A passionate aviator with a love of aviation history, Ben is also a board member of The Wings of Flight Foundation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Book Review 1:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Well done and a needed addition to the apprentice pilot’s aviation library. Heck, if ol’ farts, such as myself, see value in your book, it should go to anyone in the process of adding a rating or obtaining anything from the PPC on." ＜strong＞-- Billy Walker, Retired airline captain and author＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Book Review 2:＜/p＞ ＜p＞“How to Pass a Checkride by Ben York III is a must read for any aviation enthusiast. Whether it is your first day in aviation or you have been in the industry for 20 years this book provides great insight. The topics discussed are not ones usually elaborated on by aviators. If you are looking to learn, seek advice, even laugh this book is for you. A checkride is one of the most stressful times for any aviator and this book breaks down every process with empathy, motivation, and understanding. I wish this existed when I myself were going through flight training. It would have been a perspective that could have helped me succeed." ＜strong＞-- Justine White, Flight Instructor and Airline Pilot＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Book Review 3:＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is an essential read for all pilots, flight instructors, and examiners. As a former FAA aviation safety inspector and current designated pilot examiner, I have done thousands of practical tests. Mr. York’s insight on the psychology of the test is very enlightening, and his encouragement to the pilot is inspiring. Having known Mr. York for almost 30 years I can say his enthusiasm for pilots to enjoy flying as much as he does never stops. He is a mentor and master of the skies." ＜strong＞-- Jacob Hansen, Pilot Examiner＜/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。

古本, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Backcast: Fatherhood, Fly-Fishing, and a River Journey Through the Heart of Alaska - Lou Ureneck (St. Martin's Press) 【紙書籍】 9780312371517

タイトル: Backcast: Fatherhood, Fly-Fishing, and a River Journey Through the Heart of Alaska著者: Lou Ureneck出版社: St. Martin's Press出版日: 2007年09月18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。While father and son fishing trips can be the stuff of American legend, they can also turn out to be the stuff of anger, love and self-discovery. In his memoir of a fishing trip through the Alaskan wilderness, Lou Ureneck brings to life the struggle to reclaim the trust of his teenage son, Adam, following his divorce. Told against the backdrop of the Alaskan wilds, "Backcast" is the remembrance of a fishing trip that carried a father and son from the mountains of Alaska to the Bering Sea. Along the way, nature transforms from friend into foe, and their struggles are played out against the poignant emotional battle raging between the two as they descend the river headed toward confrontation. On their journey, the two encounter nature's dangers -- bears, violent river currents and ruthless, punishing weather -- as well as the hurts that exist between them, the reasons for divorce, the absence of a father and the withheld love of a son. Dipping his hand into the river of his own life, Ureneck recounts his own fatherless childhood, the influence of his mother's boyfriend who helped him learn to fish, and the realization that he himself had done the one thing he always promised himself he would not do: He ended his marriage in divorce. Part adventure story, part reconciliation with life's unexpected turns, and part commentary on the healing power of nature, "Backcast" explores the world of a man confronted by the hard choices divorce can bring to create a moving meditation on fatherhood.

＜p＞1990 was a positive and fateful year for Germany. The world around Germany changed as well. New states were founded, others were dissolved and revolutions bore their fruit. For Krause, it was a year that changed everything in his life. He went on an adventure trip to Sri Lanka and found his love of dogs. From this point on, Krause's life changed drastically and turned into something completely different. However, it also introduced certain dark elements. A life-threatening disease was only one of several strokes of fate. All these changes started with a small dog, who Krause brought home from Ceylon. Eight years later he turned his passion for dogs into a job, which he still carries out successfully to this day. All that was possible because of what happened one day in March of 1990 in Kandy, Sri Lanka. In this book, he finally gets to tell this very personal story.＜/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。

Fisher's strong sense of place and deep love of Provence with this collection of rich, gorgeous photographs paired with some of Fisher's best-known essays.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞M.F.K. Fisher’s Provence＜/em＞ highlights Fisher’s Celtic eye for detail with a comparison of Aix-en-Provence, a university town, the site of an international music festival and the former capital of Provence, and Marseille, the port town.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fisher’s description of the sights and smells belonging to an Aix bakery shop window is her Platonic ideal of a bakery shop to be found anywhere in France, for example, with its “delicately layered” scents of “fresh eggs, fresh sweet butter, grated nutmeg, vanilla beans, old kirsch and newly ground almonds.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then, there is her portrayal of the sounds of Aix’s fountains mixed with the music of Mozart during the town’s festival, leaving her bedazzled. She would return again and again to stroll the narrow streets of Aix with two young daughters who “seemed to grow like water-flowers under the greening buds of the plane trees.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is the quality of Fisher’s writing that inspired photographer Aileen Ah-Tye to look for her Provence.

【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！】Faster, Smarter, Greener The Future of the Car and Urban Mobility【電子書籍】[ Venkat Sumantran ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A call to redefine mobility so that it is connected, heterogeneous, intelligent, and personalized, as well as sustainable, adaptable, and city-friendly.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The twentieth century was the century of the automobile; the twenty-first will see mobility dramatically re-envisioned. Automobiles altered cityscapes, boosted economies, and made personal mobility efficient and convenient for many. We had a century-long love affair with the car. But today, people are more attached to their smartphones than their cars. Cars are not always the quickest mode of travel in cities; and emissions from the rapidly growing number of cars threaten the planet. This book, by three experts from industry and academia, envisions a new world of mobility that is ＜em＞connected＜/em＞, ＜em＞heterogeneous＜/em＞, i＜em＞ntelligent＜/em＞, and ＜em＞personalized＜/em＞ (the CHIP architecture).＜/p＞ ＜p＞The authors describe the changes that are coming. City administrators are shifting from designing cities for cars to designing cities for people. Nations and cities will increasingly employ targeted user fees and offer subsidies to nudge consumers toward more sustainable modes. The sharing economy is coaxing many consumers to shift from being owners of assets to being users of services*.* The auto industry is responding with connected cars that double as virtual travel assistants and by introducing autonomous driving.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The CHIP architecture embodies an integrated, multimode mobility system that builds on ubiquitous connectivity, electrified and autonomous vehicles, and a marketplace open to innovation and entrepreneurship. Consumers will exercise choice on the basis of user experience and efficiency, aided by “intelligent advisors,” accessible through their mobile devices.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An innovative mobility architecture reconfigured for this century is a social and economic necessity; this book charts a course for achieving it.＜/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＞As "locavore" becomes part of our everyday vocabulary and food critics continue to give West Coast cuisine accolades for its freshness and sustainability, West Coast Road Eats shows how why we eat-and where we eat it-matters more than ever. Part guidebook, part travelogue, and part history lesson, West Coast Road Food is a love letter to the seafood shacks, farm stands, taquerias, ice cream parlors, burger joints, wineries, and more that make up our unique edible ecosystem. Covering more than 1,500 miles from the Canadian border to San Diego, West Coast Road Eats offers a plethora of unique restaurants that dot the freeways and scenic byways of the West Coast. With suggested itineraries, overviews of major cities, and sidebars covering everything from captivating food-factory tours to instructions on how to pick the best produce at a farm stand, this book focuses the relationship between food and a sense of place with the enduring image of the American West as a backdrop.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anna Roth is a Los Angeles-based food and travel writer whose work has appeared in publications such as Sunset, Seattle Metropolitan, Edible Seattle, Virtuoso Life, and more.

【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！】One Helluva Ride How NASCAR Swept the Nation【電子書籍】[ Liz Clarke ]

＜p＞From its raw beginnings on Southern dirt tracks, NASCAR smacked of a slightly depraved spectacle, as if nothing but trouble could come from the unbridled locomotion of a V8 engine. By the time NASCAR roared into the twenty-first century, it had grown into a billion-dollar sports and marketing colossus, its races attended by hundreds of thousands of fans on any given weekend from mid-February through mid-November, watched on television by the second-largest viewing audience in sports, and bankrolled by the marketing largesse of the Fortune 500’s elite.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞One Helluva Ride＜/strong＞, a full-throttle account of the rise and reign of NASCAR nation, is award-winning motorsports reporter Liz Clarke’s chronicle of how stock car racing exploded from regional obsession to national phenomenon. In covering the sport for more than fifteen years, Clarke has developed a strong rapport with NASCAR’s drivers, team owners, and hard-core fans. Through her reporting and analysis, we get to know the public and private sides of NASCAR’s most iconic figures, including seven-time champion Richard Petty, who set the standard for treating fans with respect, and the late Dale Earnhardt, whose brazen, bullying tactics wreaked havoc on the track, but whose heart was as big as Daytona’s infield.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sports world stopped in its tracks the day Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Some feared that NASCAR’s soul would die with him. But it has raced on, steered by visionary promoters, the all-controlling France family (who founded the sport), and, above all, the next generation of drivers to stir fans’ passions: Dale Earnhardt, Jr., son of the NASCAR legend and now, like his father before him, the circuit’s most popular driver; Jeff Gordon, the beloved but oft-maligned outsider, bred from the cradle to be NASCAR’s winningest modern champion; and Kasey Kahne, a reluctant heartthrob whose confidence derives entirely from an accelerator pedal. Clarke also brings us inside NASCAR’s most triumphant and tragic dynasties: the Pettys, the Earnhardts, and the Allisons?and reveals how faith, family, and a deep-seated love of their sport helps them cope with grief and loss.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clarke shows NASCAR to be at a crossroads. In pursuit of a broader audience, NASCAR has severed its sponsorship ties to Big Tobacco, abandoned racetracks in small markets in favor of speedways near glitzy major cities, and welcomed Japan’s Toyota into a sport traditionally restricted to American-made sedans. As NASCAR races toward mass appeal, some suggest it is leaving its roots behind. To others, it is boldly extending its reach from the Southern workingman to every man, woman, and child in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you’re one of the die-hard NASCAR faithful or just a casual follower, nobody brings you closer to the sport and business of big-time stock car racing than Liz Clarke. This book, like the phenomenon it profiles, really is ＜strong＞One Helluva Ride＜/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。

タイトル: The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City著者: David Lebovitz出版社: Crown出版日: 2011年03月01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。From the New York Times bestselling author of My Paris Kitchen and L'Appart, a deliciously funny, offbeat, and irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other confections.Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city and after a nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he finally moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood. But he soon discovered it's a different world en France. From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries of men's footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the cheese plate, here is David's story of how he came to fall in love with--and even understand--this glorious, yet sometimes maddening, city. When did he realize he had morphed into un vrai parisien? It might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of men's dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris appearances and image mean everything. Once you stop laughing, the more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown Sugar-Bourbon Glaze, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread, Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and Mocha-Crème Fraîche Cake, will have you running to the kitchen for your own taste of Parisian living.

＜p＞＜strong＞Travel Tales: The Mexico Reader＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Is a collection of travel stories to one of North America's no doubt favorite winter destinations. The allure of Mexico, whether its magnificent beach resorts, its exciting Latin culture, or its sumptuous food and drink… is a magnet to adventure, and is one of the easiest and closest escapes from the harsh American winter.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But travel to Mexico has always been something of a mixed bag ー like one of Forrest Gump's famed boxes of chocolates ー for in Mexico you never quite know what you're "gonna" get. In fact, so many stories of corrupt police, dangerous outlaws, the cartels, and other occasional unfortunate occurrences leave people who travel to Mexico always a little wary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mexico with all its wonder is not entirely without its dangers. And one need always be circumspect. While many North Americans love Mexico, Mexicans, and their culture, so many travelers to Mexico warn that aspects of visiting the country portend at times distinct potential dangers, so much so, that I have divided the book into three sections, modeled after the famous Clint Eastwood movie, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Succinctly said, the chances are that nothing untoward or unpleasant will happen to you. For the most part, your visit to Mexico will be memorable. But know this: you must always maintain a healthy respect and be circumspect in so far as your activities and actions in Mexico go. Betwixt and between most travelers' safe and secure travels to and within Mexico are distinct reports of some horrific and dangerous things that do happen on occasion to tourists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mexico has had a history of kidnappings, robberies, police extortions, as well as occasional rapes, and even murders.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you act rationally and carefully and abide by common sense, again, your visit to Mexico is almost entirely likely to be among the most memorable of all your travels.＜/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。
