Human Forms The Novel in the Age of Evolution【電子書籍】[ Ian Duncan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A major rethinking of the European novel and its relationship to early evolutionary science</strong></p> <p>The 120 years between Henry Fielding's <em>Tom Jones</em> (1749) and George Eliot's <em>Middlemarch</em> (1871) marked both the rise of the novel and the shift from the presumption of a stable, universal human nature to one that changes over time. In <em>Human Forms</em>, Ian Duncan reorients our understanding of the novel's formation during its cultural ascendancy, arguing that fiction produced new knowledge in a period characterized by the interplay between literary and scientific discoursesーeven as the two were separating into distinct domains.</p> <p>Duncan focuses on several crisis points: the contentious formation of a natural history of the human species in the late Enlightenment; the emergence of new genres such as the Romantic bildungsroman; historical novels by Walter Scott and Victor Hugo that confronted the dissolution of the idea of a fixed human nature; Charles Dickens's transformist aesthetic and its challenge to Victorian realism; and George Eliot's reckoning with the nineteenth-century revolutions in the human and natural sciences. Modeling the modern scientific conception of a developmental human nature, the novel became a major experimental instrument for managing the new set of divisionsーbetween nature and history, individual and species, human and biological lifeーthat replaced the ancient schism between animal body and immortal soul.</p> <p>The first book to explore the interaction of European fiction with "the natural history of man" from the late Enlightenment through the mid-Victorian era, <em>Human Forms</em> sets a new standard for work on natural history and the novel.</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。 3,510円

Rings of Misfortune Everything Is Not Enough【電子書籍】[ Lloyd Duncan ]

<p>Over 16,000,000 men served in the armed forces in WWII. Perhaps as many as 3%, or 480,000, had a homosexual orientation.

This story is his, and to a degree, the stories of his family, his friends, and his comrades in combat.</p> <p>The problem is handled sympathetically, if realistically.</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。 1,144円

The Sugar Girls - Lilian’s Story Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate & Lyle’s East End【電子書籍】[ Duncan Barrett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is Lilian’s story, one of four stories from The Sugar Girls. During the Blitz and the years of rationing, the Sugar Girls kept Britain sweet. The work was back-breakingly hard, but the Tate & Lyle factory was more than just a workplace ? it was a community, a calling, a place of love and support and an uproarious, tribal part of East London.</p> <p>‘When Lilian Tull came to Tate & Lyle shortly after the end of the war, she was older than most new arrivals. A lanky, fairhaired woman of 23, she worked in the can-making department, where the Golden Syrup tins were assembled. Lilian had arrived on the job with a heavy heart, and her colleagues noticed a sad, far-away look in her eyes.’</p> <p>In the years leading up to and after the Second World War thousands of women left school at fourteen to work in the bustling factories of London’s East End. Despite long hours, hard and often hazardous work, factory life afforded exciting opportunities for independence, friendship and romance. Of all the factories that lined the docks, it was at Tate & Lyle’s where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life, and it was here where The Sugar Girls worked.</p> <p>This is an evocative, moving story of hunger, hardship and happiness, providing a moving insight into a lost way of life, as well as a timeless testament to the experience of being young and female.</p> <p>Includes Lilian’s own personal photographs of life as a sugar girl.</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。 1,136円

For the Glory The Untold and Inspiring Story of Eric Liddell, Hero of Chariots of Fire【電子書籍】[ Duncan Hamilton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**“Hamilton is a guarantee of quality.” ー<em>Financial Times</em></p> <p>“Duncan Hamilton’s compelling biography puts flesh on the legend and paints a vivid picture of not only a great athlete, but also a very special human being.” ー<em>Daily Mail</em></p> <p>The untold and inspiring story of Eric Liddell, hero of <em>Chariots of Fire</em>, from his Olympic medal to his missionary work in China to his last, brave years in a Japanese work camp during WWII**</p> <p>Many people will remember Eric Liddell as the Olympic gold medalist from the Academy Award winning film <em>Chariots of Fire</em>. Famously, Liddell would not run on Sunday because of his strict observance of the Christian sabbath, and so he did not compete in his signature event, the 100 meters, at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was the greatest sprinter in the world at the time, and his choice not to run was ridiculed by the British Olympic committee, his fellow athletes, and most of the world press. Yet Liddell triumphed in a new event, winning the 400 meters in Paris.</p> <p>Liddell ran**ー<strong>and lived</strong>ー**for the glory of his God. After winning gold, he dedicated himself to missionary work. He travelled to China to work in a local school and as a missionary. He married and had children there. By the time he could see war on the horizon, Liddell put Florence, his pregnant wife, and children on a boat to Canada, while he stayed behind, his conscience compelling him to stay among the Chinese. He and thousands of other westerners were eventually interned at a Japanese work camp.</p> <p>Once imprisoned, Liddell did what he was born to do, practice his faith and his sport. He became the moral center of an unbearable world. He was the hardest worker in the camp, he counseled many of the other prisoners, he gave up his own meager portion of meals many days, and he organized games for the children there. He even raced again. For his ailing, malnourished body, it was all too much. Liddell died of a brain tumor just before the end of the war. His passing was mourned around the world, and his story still inspires.</p> <p>In the spirit of <em>The Boys in the Boat</em> and <em>Unbroken</em>, <em>For the Glory</em> is both a compelling narrative of athletic heroism and a gripping story of faith in the darkest circumstances.</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。 1,265円

Minister of Money Henry Duncan, Founder of the Savings Bank Movement【電子書籍】[ Charles W. Munn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Henry Duncan was a man of many parts: parish minister, savings bank founder, political lobbyist, anti-slavery campaigner, educator, geologist, poet, author. He restored the Ruthwell Cross, a medieval monument of international importance. He also played a major role in the Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843 ? the most significant social event in nineteenth-century Scotland. But his lasting legacy is as founder of the worldwide savings bank movement. He first opened a parish bank in Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, in 1810, to encourage the 'industrious poor' to save for times of hardship. It was run by local voluntary trustees, and the idea spread to become the basis of trustee savings banks across the world.</p> <p>Duncan was a product of the Enlightenment and his Christian faith. While these were often uneasy bedfellows, he found ways to reconcile them by addressing the economic and social problems of his parishioners as well as their spiritual needs. A man of vision and compassion, Duncan believed fundamentally in the dignity of ordinary working people. From its beginnings in a small cottage on the shores of the Solway, his community savings bank went on to influence and inspire generations all over the world.</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。 2,560円

Only the Most Able Moving Beyond Politics in the Selection of National Security Leaders【電子書籍】[ Stephen M. Duncan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The nature of the threats facing America today has drastically reduced the margin for error in senior political appointments. In Only the Most Able, Stephen M. Duncan draws on a lifetime of military, public service, executive, and legal experience to critique the political appointment process, focusing on departments that deal with national securityーthe Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. He looks at how the current methods for making appointments put people in positions for which they are not qualified and not prepared. Rather, he argues, appointments should be made on the basis of one's qualifications and meritsーthose who lead our military should be people with military experience, and those who must make executive decisions should be people who have served and excelled in an executive capacity. Identifying the successful traits of leaders such as Winston Churchill, General George Marshall, nationally-known business executives, and others, Duncan argues with unusual insight and candor why the quality and performance of senior political appointees who are charged even in part with the nation's security, must be improved, and offers specific recommendations on how this can be accomplished. This timely book will appeal to Americans of all political persuasions, as well as those with particular interests in political and military history.</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。 8,895円

Secrets of Eros【電子書籍】[ Duncan More ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Search for a master.</strong></p> <p><strong>Christen a friend’s new apartment.</strong></p> <p><strong>Be seduced by a younger man.</strong></p> <p><strong>What's your pleasure? It's waiting for you.</strong></p> <p><strong>Excerpt:</strong></p> <p>Dante had two loves in his life ? his body and his bike, and both gave him pleasure. He had one of those male bodies that develops pretty much on its own and needs little maintenance. Most guys hated him in that respect, though what he did with his body pleased many of them.</p> <p>At Chaps, a quasi-leather bar, he was dressed to seduce in faded tight blue jeans, black boots, a leather jacket, and his trademark shades with the stems disappearing in curly black hair. That was Dante. With his shades on and his eyes hidden, he would scour the room looking for a hunk for the night. Without knowing for sure if Dante were checking them out or ignoring them, newcomers could only look in his direction and fantasize.</p> <p>While he had many friends in the bar who enjoyed watching his pick-up routine, Dante was unaware how much his performance was commented on, and even timed and wagered on. But he rarely failed to score.</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。 162円

Index, A History of the【電子書籍】[ Dennis Duncan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>*A <em>TIME</em>, <em>New Yorker, Financial Times</em> and <em>History Today</em> Book of the Year*</strong></p> <p><strong>'Hilarious' Sam Leith<br /> 'I loved this book' Susie Dent'<br /> 'Witty and affectionate' Lynne Truss</strong></p> <p><strong>Perfect for book lovers, a delightful history of the wonders to be found in the humble book index</strong></p> <p>Most of us give little thought to the back of the book - it's just where you go to look things up. But here, hiding in plain sight, is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. Here we might find <em>Butchers, to be avoided</em>, or <em>Cows that sh-te Fire</em>, or even catch <em>Calvin in his chamber</em> <em>with</em> <em>a</em> <em>Nonne</em>. This is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past. Here, for the first time, its story is told.</p> <p>Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Dennis Duncan reveals how the index has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists' living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and - of course - indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart, and we have been for eight hundred years.</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。 1,746円

The Radical Teaching of Jesus A Teacher Full of Grace and Truth: An Inquiry for Thoughtful Seekers【電子書籍】[ Duncan S. Ferguson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Radical Teaching of Jesus carefully and thoughtfully invites the reader into an understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus. Both his life and teachings are radical in that Jesus intended those who observed his life and heard his teachings to make a major change in their lives by fully receiving the power and presence of God. The implications of this transformation would result in a life of loving God with heart and mind and one's neighbor without condition. This volume underlines that to have a full understanding of the implications of the radical teaching of Jesus requires a careful reading of the history--of the Gospel records, of the circumstances in which Jesus lived, and of Jesus' sense of vocation. This understanding makes possible a more credible and nuanced grasp of the style and content of the life and teaching of Jesus and its extraordinary relevance for our rapidly changing and troubled global context. The book speaks poignantly both to those within the Christian family who find traditional categories regarding Jesus increasingly difficult to affirm, and to those of other faith traditions or religious unaffiliated who seek an authentic spiritual way.</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。 4,298円
