＜p＞Young readers who love a swashbuckling yarn will be captivated by The Dark Frigate, winner of the 1924 Newbery Medal as the year's most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Abounding in intrigue, battles, and acts of derring-do, the story takes place in the 17th century and charts a course from England to the Caribbean.

Alas, a premature death also claims 19-year-old Philip's father, and now he's truly alone in the world. When an accident forces him to flee from London, Philip looks to the sea for his livelihood. Upon meeting some sailors bound for the port of Bideford, Philip joins them in signing on with the Rose of Devon, a frigate bound for Newfoundland. Their transatlantic passage is disrupted by an encounter with a floating wreck, and their rescue of the survivors is repaid with foul treachery by these "gentlemen of fortune" ー a band of bloodthirsty pirates who coerce Philip and the rest of the crew into joining in their murderous deeds.

【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 Frozen Deep and Miss or Mrs【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

＜p＞"The Frozen Deep": The play's genesis lay in the conflict between Dickens and John Rae's report on the fate of the Franklin expedition. In May 1845, the "Franklin expedition" left England in search of the Northwest Passage. It was last seen in July 1845, after which the members of the expedition were lost without trace. In October 1854, John Rae (using reports from "Eskimo" (Inuit) eyewitnesses, who informed that they had seen 40 "white men" and later 35 corpses) described the fate of the Franklin expedition in a confidential report to the Admiralty: "From the mutilated state of many of the corpses and the contents of the kettles it is evident that our wretched countrymen had been driven to the last resourceーcannibalismーas a means of prolonging survival." Miss or Mrs.: Another crisp short novel from Wilkie Collins. As one who distrusts the institution of matrimony, he gives us another example of the somewhat strange Victorian marriage laws. The heroine of Miss or Mrs.?, Natalie, is fifteen years old. Her family wants her to wed Richard Turlington, a failing businessman who wants access to Natalie's father's fortune to save his hide. Natalie hates Turlington and secretly marries Launcelot Linzie, her cousin, who is unable to legally elope with her until her sixteenth birthday. Collins is a past master of knowing how to milk a complicated plot to good effect. Well worth reading.

Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.” (Genesis 9:13-17)＜br /＞ As she began to meditate on these scriptures, she noticed a rainbow in the sky which was confirmation to her that God was leading her to begin to write out His promises in the form of prayers and confessions. During the years of 1990, she has followed the leading of the Holy Spirit by collecting these prayers in the hopes and faith that they will be helpful to many.＜br /＞ As a result of seeking God’s purpose for her life between the years of 1990 through 2004, Addie’s outreach ministry has fed and clothed thousands of homeless people in her city.

【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！】New Jersey's Covered Bridges【電子書籍】[ Richard J. Garlipp Jr. ]

＜p＞In the 18th and 19th centuries, covered bridges dotted the landscape of New Jersey, providing safe passage to travelers. Forty-five covered bridges once crossed waterways in all corners of the state. Perhaps the most extraordinary examples of these wooden bridges were found along the western border, crossing the Delaware River into neighboring Pennsylvania. These bridges were feats of construction and engineering but were ultimately unable to prevent the inevitable fate of almost all the covered bridges of the state, namely ice, floods, and fire as well as the development of new materials and technology. Today, only one covered bridge survives in New Jersey. The Green Sergeant?s covered bridge in Hunterdon County was constructed over the Wickecheoke Creek in 1872 and has stood the test of time. New Jersey?s Covered Bridges showcases the rich transportation history of these structures and pictorially honors the lost ones.＜/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！】High Bridge【電子書籍】[ William Honachefsky Jr. ]

＜p＞The history of High Bridge is intertwined with the development of the iron and steel industry in the United States. As early as the 1700s, the framework of this little hamlet had already been created by English investors who carved up the rich wilderness of the New World, brimming with iron ore that would be essential to the county's development. High Bridge Borough evolved around the Taylor Wharton Foundry, established in 1742. With the passage of time, however, High Bridge has lost its farming and foundry roots, evolving into what is often referred to as a bedroom community. Just like the lofty trestle from which High Bridge derived its name, the city now runs the risk of being lost to time, forsaking the resilient character of the immigrants who forged a nation. This book aims to preserve High Bridge's glorious history for future generations.＜/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！】Fleeting Images from a Bloodied Past【電子書籍】[ Bernard Fredericks ]

＜p＞Ships against the sea! Was…STILL IS, a threat to all the vessels who sail upon her, and especially so, an ever-present threat to the crews who do their duty and put their lives in harm's way. Of violent storms, tempests… All the unpredictable hell of crosswinds, headwinds and tailwinds, roaring madly like some frenzied monster, changing direction, attempting to plunge the man-made object under the vengeful, towering and swamping thunderous waves, against which so many hardy ships have foundered, perished and been lost. The fact that the CSS Alabama came through such a storm and survived this maelstrom is testimony to the meticulous skills and concentrated painstaking patience and hard work of Laird's well-led and well-managed shipbuilding workforce and professional seamanship, that ensured the crew's safe passage and escape from this seaborne wretchedness. Warships, which survived incredible battle experience, and - at war's end - were reviewed for conversion, replacement or the breaker's yard was a consideration. Not all, however, because the fate of HMS Zealous continued in a new page of history, when she was transferred to the Israeli Navy. Later, in 1967, whilst out on patrol in the Eastern Mediterranean, she was suddenly attacked by Egyptian warships equipped with superior firepower. The new crew of this old warhorse knew that the fate of their emerging and vibrant new nation, fighting to retain her hard-fought existence, was dependent upon their spirited defence. Despite the fact that they were up against Soviet-supplied STYX surface-to-surface missiles, against which they had no defence, they steered into battle, undaunted. With battle pennants flying, they bravely challenged the enemy. Their fearlessness and courage shone in the face of certain destruction and ultimate sacrifice. The Cammell Laird scenario is riveting and strikingly dramatic…＜/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！】Proximity【電子書籍】[ Philip Berry ]

＜p＞Nina Charan, a junior doctor, takes charge during the resuscitation of an elderly man. It is her moment of glory. He dies four weeks later, due to the negligence of a locum.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She moves on, and three years later is inspired by Peter Owens, her new registrar. He becomes her mentor. William Waybridge, a cancer patient, dies after his bowel is perforated during a procedure. The X-ray that might have led to an early diagnosis is delayed, fatally; the request form was lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nina investigates but cannot identify the culprit. Peter and Nina take over the care of a 19 year old man, Jason, who has been sick since the age of 9 and who now requires a bowel transplant. Peter is promoted to consultant, and takes charge of Jason’s case. When pressed, Jason admits that he is tired of fighting his illness; he submitted to surgery at the time of his last crisis only to spare his mother, Deborah, the pain of grief.＜br /＞ ‘Next time,’ he says, ‘let me die’.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A new doctor, Diana, arrives from Jamaica. She begins to suspect that Peter is biased in his treatment of the elderly, and quietly accumulates data to prove this. Nina is asked by a dying Professor of Medicine to put him out of his misery by prescribing an overdose of morphine; Nina refuses but is affected by the emotional and intellectual force of his argument ? only those who are close to the suffering can truly decide if assisted suicide is justified.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Before he dies, of natural causes, he begs Nina to open her mind to the possibility of physician-assisted death. She is swayed. Peter then reveals to Nina that he and the professor formed the nucleus of a network of doctors who advocate assisted suicide and euthanasia. Only the best doctors are chosen to join this network, and Nina impressed the professor. Before dying he instructed to Peter to induct her. Peter shows Nina the missing x-ray request form ? he removed it ? it is a symbol of his trust, and hope, in her. Better that William Waybridge died without surgery, it would have extended and complicated the passage of his inevitable death. By degrees Peter educates Nina in methods of killing that leave little or no trace ? errors, oversights…＜/p＞ ＜p＞Diana is put on ‘gardening leave’ just two days before she is due to present her incriminating data ? the reason, allowing a religious reference to slip into a discussion with a patient’s relatives. Diana wears a crucifix, and is not embarrassed to display her Christianity. Jason deteriorates, but his progress onto the transplant waiting list is hindered. Diana confronts Nina, fearing that her colleague has become blind to Peter’s unethical practise. Jason confides to Nina that he has changed his mind ? he now wants to fight to the end. Peter tells Nina that Jason has refused transplantation. Nina notices some irregularities on Jason’s drug chart. Could he really be planning to kill Jason ? one so young?＜/p＞ ＜p＞She deduces that Peter worked as a locum in the hospital where she began her career, in Bristol. Nina reconnects with her prior commitment, to save life, not end it.＜br /＞ Nina confronts Peter. He threatens her, referring to a dossier of medical errors that can be attributed to her. She accuses him of megalomania, of manufacturing the idea of a ‘network’ to rationalise his actions. Jason dies, without a transplant. His mother is grateful to the team. He had had enough, she could tell.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter attends a national conference. He is surprised to see Diana arrive at the podium. She presents her data, anonymised but transparent. All eyes turn to Peter. He is not seen again. As the novel ends, Nina learns that the network probably does exist, but even now she remains ambivalent. Peter is in exile. Nina moves on, and shares her knowledge with no-one.＜/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！】My Dwelling Place Reading Scripture Through The Lens Of God’s Desire To Dwell Among Us【電子書籍】[ Deborah L Roeger ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The concept of God’s presence is deeply embedded in Christian teaching from God’s presence in the Garden of Eden, through the hope of God’s presence in the New Earth. But what does it that mean?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many Christians find it difficult to explain what is meant by God’s presence. We hear of God being especially present in a worship service, or of specific places where God’s presence is expected by the pilgrims who travel there. We know that God’s presence was somehow in the tabernacle, and will be part of the new earth when Jesus returns. It is also taught that God is omnipresent, that is, present everywhere and always.,/p＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞But what is God’s presence? What does it take for Him to dwell among His people and why does it matter?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this third volume under the Lost in Translation imprint, Deborah Roeger applies her in-depth and detailed yet extremely practical approach to Bible study to look at God’s presence in its many forms and manifestations from the creation to the restoration of God’s creation. As she traces God’s dwelling presence through the pages of Scripture she looks thoughtfully at what God requires of us so He can be present among us.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the process, she provides a thematic look at the whole of scripture that can be used as a guide to study other topics with full attention to the overall context of the story we find in Scripture. It is the story of God, who created for His glory and longs for the restoration of His dwelling presence among His creation. This understanding of the broad context will help you put other events in their proper place in the history of God’s plan of salvation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞My Dwelling Place＜/em＞ is not just an explanation of biblical terms. It is first of all an explanation of what it takes for God to come and dwell among us. It is then a call to take up our mission and the gifts God has given us and to learn to practice His presence at all times.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As in each volume in this series, there is a valuable added resource in the appendix discussing how to do word studies and how to use both available tools for Bible study and to take the context of each passage seriously when doing so.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This study can be read individually, but it is especially valuable as a resource for small group study or for a transforming church-wide study.＜/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 Lost Prince【電子書籍】[ Frances Hodgson Burnett ]

＜p＞There are many dreary and dingy rows of ugly houses in certain parts of London, but there certainly could not be any row more ugly or dingier than Philibert Place. There were stories that it had once been more attractive, but that had been so long ago that no one remembered the time. It stood back in its gloomy, narrow strips of uncared-for, smoky gardens, whose broken iron railings were supposed to protect it from the surging traffic of a road which was always roaring with the rattle of busses, cabs, drays, and vans, and the passing of people who were shabbily dressed and looked as if they were either going to hard work or coming from it, or hurrying to see if they could find some of it to do to keep themselves from going hungry. The brick fronts of the houses were blackened with smoke, their windows were nearly all dirty and hung with dingy curtains, or had no curtains at all; the strips of ground, which had once been intended to grow flowers in, had been trodden down into bare earth in which even weeds had forgotten to grow. One of them was used as a stone-cutter's yard, and cheap monuments, crosses, and slates were set out for sale, bearing inscriptions beginning with "Sacred to the Memory of." another had piles of old lumber in it, another exhibited second-hand furniture, chairs with unsteady legs, sofas with horsehair stuffing bulging out of holes in their covering, mirrors with blotches or cracks in them. The insides of the houses were as gloomy as the outside. They were all exactly alike. In each a dark entrance passage led to narrow stairs going up to bedrooms, and to narrow steps going down to a basement kitchen. The back bedroom looked out on small, sooty, flagged yards, where thin cats quarreled, or sat on the coping of the brick walls hoping that sometime they might feel the sun; the front rooms looked over the noisy road, and through their windows came the roar and rattle of it. It was shabby and cheerless on the brightest days, and on foggy or rainy ones it was the most forlorn place in London.＜/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！】Virgil and Lucretius: Passages Translated by William Stebbing【電子書籍】[ William Stebbing ]

＜p＞This is the tale old Proteus by the sea Erst told of Orpheus and Eurydice. Virgil at Parthenope overheard, And has resung it, if not word by word. Orpheus had been espoused but one short hour, And went to gather roses for the bower, When a rejected wooer, mad with love, Sprang upon the light-footed nymph, and strove For an embrace; she, heeding nought, alas! Trod on a serpent sleeping in the grass; And when on the instant, answering her cries, Her Bridegroom knelt there, kissing her closed eyes, Half fainting with the sense of all her charms, Sudden he woke, a dead Bride in his arms! Not his alone the woe and misery; Nor he sole mourner for Eurydice; From Rhodope to Pang?a’s peaks, above The cave where Boreas hid his Attic love, Through the fierce realm of Rhesus, echo bore The wail to the wild Getes, to the shore Of Hebrus, while in forest, hill, and dale The tuneful Dryads told the tearful tale. But how conjure by the best ordered show Of grief an irremediable woe! Orpheus fled Pity, and neighbourly Care; All human fellowship but his despair. With but that and his lyre communion still He held, from dawn to sunset, then until The planets rose and sank, banishing sleep, Keeping sad vigils by the moaning deep, Thinking each shadow on the desert shore Was his lost Bride restored to life once more.＜/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。
