Who Pulled the Plug on my Fantasies...and how to find contentment.【電子書籍】[ Erica Clark-Rossam ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Contentment and happiness are highly valued but only a few attain and sustain them. The book explores what prevents people from achieving both in a world that presents great challenges. It explains how our conscious fantasies and largely unconscious phantasies can make lived experience seem painful, dull or difficult. The size of the gap between our beliefs about how things "should, "ought" and "must" be and our actual lives is the measure of our misery or reasonable contentment. The greater the gap, the greater is our suffering. The book explores fantasies and phantasies in important areas of life and suggests ways to access unconscious and disabling beliefs and capitalize on the helpful ones. Guidelines are given for narrowing the gap between our hopes, dreams and expectations, and actual life, and, in so doing, gaining a sense that life can be puzzling but satisfying</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。 1,180円

Trekking across America An Up-Close Look at a Once-Popular Pastime【電子書籍】[ Lyell D. Jr. Henry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For several decades following the end of the Civil War, the most popular sport in the United States was walking. Professional pedestrians often covered 500 miles or more for up to six grueling days and nights in pursuit of large money prizes. Walking was also a favorite amateur sport; newspapers often noted a “pedestrian mania” or “walking fever” that only began to give way in the mid-1880s to fast-rising crazes for baseball, bicycling, and roller skating.<br /> As competitive walking faded, a new kind of spectacle walking, which had also begun in the late 1860s, came to full flower. Between 1890 and 1930, hundreds of men, women, even children and entire families were on the nation’s roads and railroad tracks trekking between widely separated points, sometimes moving in unusual ways such as on roller skates or by walking barefooted, backward, on stilts, or while rolling a hoop. To finance their attention-seeking journeys, many sold souvenir postcards. The public usually found these performers entertaining, but public officials and newspaper editors often denounced them as nuisances or frauds. Tapping vintage postcards and old newspaper articles, this is the first book to bring back to view this once-familiar feature of American life.</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。 3,901円

Il ritorno del pellerossa Mito e letteratura in America【電子書籍】[ Leslie A. Fiedler ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Qual ? l'origine dei miti americani? In che modo la storia antropologica del Nuovo mondo, a partire dalla scoperta di Colombo fino ai nostri giorni, si intreccia al suo racconto letterario e, in tempi pi? recenti, cinematografico? Questo saggio di Leslie A. Fiedler, uscito nell'edizione italiana all'inizio degli anni Settanta e ormai diventato un classico, indaga a fondo ≪quella peculiare forma di follia che consiste nel sognare e raggiungere il West≫: gli archetipi della frontiera, della corsa all'Ovest, della contrapposizione violenta fra ≪pellerossa≫ e ≪visopallido≫, ma anche dell'incontro con ≪l'altro≫ come conoscenza e iniziazione. Risalendo all'antichit?, passando per Dante e Shakespeare, fino a Fenimore Cooper, Twain, Hemingway e Frost, Fiedler ridisegna la figura dell'≪indiano≫, anomalia antropologica che mai si ? lasciata tradurre nei termini dell'Occidente europeo e poi americano, e per questo additata con orrore e poi sterminata, anche se la letteratura ci offre opzioni pi? sfaccettate e ambivalenti. La letteratura e il cinema western hanno tentato - invano, come dimostra Fiedler attraverso una carrellata di figure emblematiche, Pocahontas su tutte - di trasfigurare i miti fondatori dell'America e di cancellarne le premesse innominabili. Come incubi che riemergono dall'inconscio collettivo di un popolo, parole e immagini non possono reprimere la tragedia del genocidio, la distruzione di quei ≪selvaggi≫ che non intendevano piegarsi all'ordine imposto dall'uomo bianco: ≪Ci? che noi continuiamo a vivere e rivivere sugli schermi cinematografici e televisivi. ? la leggenda della loro fine, che in qualche modo. riusciamo a sentire come la nostra fine, in quanto abbiamo in comune col nemico vinto un'unica cosa: la leggenda dell''americano disparente'≫.</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。 950円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>American journalist Paul Schaffer is forced to continue his service in the Sonderbattalion Dirlewanger, the partisan hunters whose reputation for brutal cruelty in occupied Russia is too much even for the Waffen-SS. Yet the battalion sinks to a new low. Returning from Russia to Poland they are pressed into service to fight in the hell of the Warsaw Ghetto.</p> <p>The SS and the Red Army are not the only dangers he has to confront. Schaffer becomes acquainted with a Catholic priest, a Jesuit. He seems to be a genuine and compassionate patriot, but gradually a new picture emerges of the man.

Based on real people and real events, the action is so vivid and real that you can almost smell the smoke. From the front line through to the Warsaw Ghetto and the anti-partisan operations, this is an epic tale that paints an astonishing picture of how the war in Russia was truly fought. Yet for some, the killings are not enough to satisfy their lust for blood and their ambitions for power. Behind the scenes men are plotting an infamy that could pitch the war into a new level of slaughter.</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。 800円

Paddle for Water Canoeing across America with a Message And a Man I Never Intended to Marry【電子書籍】[ Nancy DeWitte Condon ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Perhaps impetuous, perhaps brave, Nancy can't resist ditching her job and modern-day comforts to paddle 5,000 miles across the United States to promote water conservation. Paddling roller coaster waves, camping with alligators, and dodging barges prove manageable; staving off her paddling partner's romantic intentions-not so much.</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Paddle for Water</em> recounts the wacky escapades of a "just do it" kind of gal, the guy who so often rescues her from hair-raising situations, and a relationship forged by living life with gusto.</strong></p> <p><em>Paddle For Water</em> is a travel memoir of my adventures as I test my mettle crossing the United States by canoe, voicing a message of water conservation. My companion, a skillful canoeist and outdoorsman, is a man with whom I insist on platonic relations. After paddling 5,000 miles from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean and many harrowing adventures, he ultimately wins my heart.</p> <p>Playing cat and mouse in our tiny canoe with ocean-going freighters and riding 4-foot waves on the Columbia River, the stage is set for adventure. The Snake River tries our patience with wind, storms, heat, and rapids. Our canoe breaks away, smashes into rocks, and requires major repair. After an overwintering hiatus in the Tetons when our travel corridors are frozen, we finally resume our expedition on the Yellowstone River, this time with a puppy. Sirius rides atop the gear like a riverboat queen as we zig-zag down the Yellowstone River with the snowmelt. This beautiful waterway enters the "Miserable Missouri" with its industry and commerce. Relentless wind makes for hair-raising paddling daily while nightly thunderstorms beat us into submission. Continual exertion and frazzled nerves become unbearable. After nine months of paddling and emotional exhaustion, we must leave river life, destination unrealized. The "strictly friends" paradigm fell flat as the physical and emotional trials throughout the expedition made me realize I cannot - and don't want to - live without Tom. We marry and get absorbed into mainstream society.</p> <p>After eleven years of civilization, the river's beckoning becomes irresistible. The itch of unfinished business finally motivates us to leave our house, jobs, and belongings behind and become river people again. We return to the same boat ramp we departed from on the Missouri River in Atchison, Kansas. There we join spring runoff, this time as a married couple, to complete our goal. Avoiding the turbulence of what we dub the Missouri River Monster, we pour into the Mississippi River. Unlike Huck Finn, we turn off at Cairo, Illinois, onto the Ohio, where we begin an uphill climb to the Appalachian Mountains. On the Tennessee River, we sweat through a tornado watch but eventually reach the Little Tennessee where, wading waist-deep, we yank and drag and pole our canoe up the rapids until we have no more fight left. Portage by car is our only option. Once over the mountains, we descend the Savannah River where we unwittingly share campsites with alligators. Thirteen months of river life later, we paddle into the Atlantic Ocean. We ride the waves onto Tybee Island beach to a throng of cheering reporters and family. Together we toast the completion of our quest with cups of pure, clean water.</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。 691円

Across America By Motor-Cycle【電子書籍】[ Charles Kenilworth Sheperd ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“ …When I arrived at New York I purchased a motor-cycle and set out to cross the continent to the Pacific, and I have it on the best authority that this was the first time an Englishman had ever accomplished the trip on a motor-cycle.<br /> In the following pages I have endeavoured to portray America and Americans exactly as I found them and as they appealed to me. If at times I perchance may give offence to any who are lovers of all and anything American, I do it without intent. Suffice it to say that before I went I had the highest opinion of anything that came from that worthy country, so that it cannot be claimed that I am one of those “ Pro-British-every- time ” individuals who delight in criticizing other countries and other peoples in order to gratify their own sense of national or other superiority.”</p> <p>RAF Captain Charles Kenilworth Shepherd's account of riding his motorcycle across the U.S. in 1919.</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。 442円

Said the Prophet of God Hadith Commentary across a Millennium【電子書籍】[ Joel Blecher ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Although scholars have long studied how Muslims authenticated and transmitted Muhammad’s sayings and practices (hadith), the story of how they interpreted and reinterpreted the meanings of hadith over the past millennium has yet to be told. Joel Blecher takes up this charge, illuminating the rich social and intellectual history of hadith commentary at three critical moments and locales: classical Andalusia, medieval Egypt, and modern India. Weaving together tales of public debates, high court rivalries, and colonial politics with analyses of ethnographic field notes and fine-grained arguments adorning the margins of manuscripts, <em>Said the Prophet of God</em> offers new avenues for the study of religion, history, anthropology, and law.</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。 4,552円

How the Word Is Passed A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America【電子書籍】[ Clint Smith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, <em>Harvard Magazine</em>) #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in Americaーand how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives.</strong></p> <p>Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarksーthose that are honest about the past and those that are notーthat offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves.</p> <p>It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.</p> <p>A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain viewーwhether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted.</p> <p>Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.</p> <p><strong>Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction</strong></p> <p><strong>Winner of the Stowe Prize</strong></p> <p><strong>Winner of 2022 Hillman Prize for Book Journalism</strong></p> <p><strong>A <em>New York Times</em> 10 Best Books of 2021</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。 1,693円

Footprints Across America Retracing an Irishman's Journey During the Last Great Gold Rush【電子書籍】[ Michael McMonagle ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Inspired by the adventures of a hardy nineteenth-century Irish emigrant to America, Mic? Mac Gabhann, who detailed his exploits in the Irish language book <em>Rotha M?r an tSaoil</em>, Michael McMonagle undertakes an epic journey to retrace his steps. Following his journey from New York to the Klondike Gold Rush, he traverses the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains of Montana, and the vast Alaskan wilderness. As he compares the America that Mic? encountered in the late nineteenth century with that of the twenty-first century, the author provides a unique perspective on a very different America. <br> <br> <em>Footprints Across America</em> weaves the two journeys together and highlights the strong links between both eras. We are brought to historic places like Butte and Dawson City, mining ghost towns, Native American reservations, ranch houses and isolated Alaskan villages. We are dragged up mountains and down rivers. In these out-of-the-way places, the voices of cowboys, shamans, exotic dancers, soldiers, chancers, miners and Native Americans emerge to paint an insightful picture of life in America today, while the author also paints a compelling picture of the life of an immigrant caught up in the excitement of the Gold Rush. <br> <br> Michael McMonagle is an entertaining, easy-going and humorous travel companion who has an empathetic ear for the people he encounters and an observant eye for the natural world. In <em>Footprints Across America</em> he reveals the diverse and fascinating nature of America, then and now. </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。 1,323円

Partisan Places Movers and Stayers Across America【電子書籍】[ Irwin L. Morris ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Below the surface of America's polarized, hyper-competitive standoff between the national Republican and Democratic parties, a dramatic partisan change is occurring at the local and state level. In <em>Partisan Places</em>, Irwin L. Morris describes the shift in American politics caused by domestic migration patterns. Places with growing populations are becoming more Democratic, while places with declining or stagnating communities are increasingly Republican. These partisan shifts are primarily a function of the demographic profile of <em>movers</em>--who tend to be younger, more educated, more racially diverse, and more Democratic than <em>stayers</em> who remain in their hometowns. Interestingly, this phenomenon is occurring regardless of a place's status as urban or rural: higher rates of immigration from other states or counties results in more Democratic support, while more emigration, especially in predominantly White communities, fosters Republican strength. Morris' analysis has significant implications for the future trajectory of party competition in the US, indicating that the Republican party should aim to attract "mover" support to remain competitive. With case studies from across the nation, <em>Partisan Places</em> lays a foundation for understanding the evolving geography of American politics.</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。 3,736円

Worth Fighting For An Army Ranger's Journey Out of the Military and Across America【電子書籍】[ Rory Fanning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"Fanning combines memoir, travelogue, political tract, and history lesson in this engaging account of his 3,000-mile solo walk from Virginia to California" ( <em>Publishers Weekly</em>).</strong></p> <p>Just days after the US military covered up the death by friendly fire of Pat Tillman, Rory Fanningーwho served in the same unit as Tillmanーleft the Army Rangers as a conscientious objector. Disquieted by his tours in Afghanistan, Fanning sets out to honor Tillman's legacy by crossing the United States on foot. The generous, colorful people he meets and the history he discovers help him learn to live again.<br /> "Fanning's descriptions of the hardships and highlights of the trip comprise the bulk of the book, and he infuses his left-wing politics into a narrative peppered with historical tidbits, most of which describe less-than-honorable moments in American history, such as the terrorist actions of the Ku Klux Klan and the nation's Indian removal policies. What stands out most, though, is the selflessness and generosityーwhich come in the form of stories, hospitality, and donations for the foundationーof the people Fanning encountered during his journey." ー <em>Publishers Weekly</em></p> <p>"Rory Fanning's odyssey is more than a walk across America. It is a gripping story of one young man's intellectual journey from eager soldier to skeptical radical, a look at not only the physical immenseness of the country, its small towns, and highways, but into the enormity of its past, the hidden sins and unredeemed failings of the United States. The reader is there along with Rory, walking every step, as challenging and rewarding experience for us as it was for him." ー <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em></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。 1,760円

What School Could Be Insights and Inspiration from Teachers across America【電子書籍】[ Ted Dintersmith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An inspiring account of ordinary teachers who are doing extraordinary things that could transform education</strong></p> <p><em>What School Could Be</em> offers an inspiring vision of what our teachers and students can accomplish if trusted with the challenge of developing the skills and ways of thinking needed to thrive in a world of dizzying technological change.</p> <p>Innovation expert Ted Dintersmith took an unprecedented trip across America, visiting all fifty states in a single school year. He originally set out to raise awareness about the urgent need to reimagine education to prepare students for a world marked by innovation--but America's teachers one-upped him. All across the country, he met teachers in ordinary settings doing extraordinary things, creating innovative classrooms where children learn deeply and joyously as they gain purpose, agency, essential skillsets and mindsets, and real knowledge. Together, these new ways of teaching and learning offer a vision of what school could beーand a model for transforming schools throughout the United States and beyond. Better yet, teachers and parents don't have to wait for the revolution to come from above. They can readily implement small changes that can make a big difference.</p> <p>America's clock is ticking. Our archaic model of education trains our kids for a world that no longer exists, and accelerating advances in technology are eliminating millions of jobs. But the trailblazing of many American educators gives us reasons for hope.</p> <p>Capturing bold ideas from teachers and classrooms across America, <em>What School Could Be</em> provides a realistic and profoundly optimistic roadmap for creating cultures of innovation and real learning in all our schools.</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。 3,249円

The Problem with Parenting How Raising Children Is Changing Across America【電子書籍】[ Nancy A. McDermott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>The Problem with Parenting</em> serves as an essential guide to the recent origins and current excesses of American parenting for students, parents, and policy makers interested in the changing role of the family in childrearing.</strong></p> <p>Family scholarship focuses predominately on the evolution of family structure and function, with only passing references to parenting. Researchers who study parenting, however, invariably regard it as a sociological phenomenon with complex motivations rooted in such factors as class, economic instability, and new technologies.</p> <p>This book examines the relationship between changes to the family and the emergence of parenting, defined here as a specific mode of childrearing. It shows how, beginning in the 1970s, the family was transformed from a social unit that functioned as the primary institution for raising children into a vehicle for the nurturing and fulfillment of the self. The book pays special attention to socialization and describes how the change in our understanding of parenthoodーfrom a state of being into the distinct activity of "parenting"ーis indicative of a disruption of our ability to transfer key cultural values and norms from one generation to the next.</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。 6,996円

<p>The idea of American musical theatre often conjures up images of bright lights and big city, but its lifeblood is found in amateur productions at high schools, community theatres, afterschool programs, summer camps, and dinner theatres. In <em>Beyond Broadway</em>, author Stacy Wolf looks at the widespread presence and persistence of musical theatre in U.S. culture, and examines it as a social practice--a live, visceral experience of creating, watching, and listening. Why does local musical theatre flourish in America? Why do so many Americans continue to passionately engage in a century-old artistic practice that requires intense, person-to-person collaboration? And why do audiences still flock to musicals in their hometowns? Touring American elementary schools, a middle school performance festival, afterschool programs, high schools, summer camps, state park outdoor theatres, community theatres, and dinner theatres from California to Tennessee, Wolf illustrates musical theatre's abundance and longevity in the U.S. as a thriving social activity that touches millions of lives.</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。 4,704円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Silas has a problem. Well, as a wizard Silas has dealt with many problems, the most persistent being his cat Bundersnoot's perpetual demands to be fed. Of more immediate concern is the wound he received from fighting a vampire last summer.

Following along is their new companion Waif, a child of indeterminate gender who they rescued from the clutches of an evil cult.

BBQ USA 425 Fiery Recipes from All Across America【電子書籍】[ Steven Raichlen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Steven Raichlen, a national barbecue treasure and author of The Barbecue! Bible, How to Grill, and other books in the Barbecue! Bible series, embarks on a quest to find the soul of American barbecue, from barbecue-belt classics-Lone Star Brisket, Lexington Pulled Pork, K.C. Pepper Rub, Tennessee Mop Sauce-to the grilling genius of backyards, tailgate parties, competitions, and local restaurants.</p> <p>In 450 recipes covering every state as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, BBQ USA celebrates the best of regional live-fire cooking. Finger-lickin' or highfalutin; smoked, rubbed, mopped, or pulled; cooked in minutes or slaved over all through the night, American barbecue is where fire meets obsession. There's grill-crazy California, where everything gets fired up - dates, Caesar salad, lamb shanks, mussels. Latin-influenced Florida, with its Chimichurri Game Hens and Mojo-Marinated Pork on Sugar Cane. Maple syrup flavors the grilled fare of Vermont; Wisconsin throws its kielbasa over the coals; Georgia barbecues Vidalias; and Hawaii makes its pineapples sing. Accompanying the recipes are hundreds of tips, techniques, sidebars, and pit stops. It's a coast-to-coast extravaganza, from soup (grilled, chilled, and served in shooters) to nuts (yes, barbecued peanuts, from Kentucky).</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。 2,214円

Footsteps Across a Miracle An Anthology of Poetry and Cryptic Philosophies【電子書籍】[ Tony Elsby ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Footsteps Across A Miracle is a collection of poems about everyday life, people and situations, some funny, some tragic. There are also cryptic philosophies which are both uplifting and encouraging. Footsteps was inspired by a special lady who flew across the Atlantic to find a new family for two orphaned Dutch boys and to provide for them a good education and all the things two growing youngsters should be able to enjoy. In some ways it is a tribute to her generosity and selflessness, qualities which fly a flag of example for all humanity. The author draws on his experience as a journalist, sportsman, motivational coach, auctioneer and market trader to offer his own angle on life. Sometimes his tales are told with a twist in the tail or a dash of pathos. At other times they bring a tear to the eye. But they do leave a mark. Tony sees the fun or the sadness in a subject and squeezes it out.</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。 1,320円

Carsick John Waters Hitchhikes Across America【電子書籍】[ John Waters ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>Carsick</em> is the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling chronicle of a cross-country hitchhiking journey with America's most beloved weirdo.</strong></p> <p>John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin mustache, and a cardboard sign that reads "I'm Not Psycho," he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash?</p> <p>Before he leaves for this bizarre adventure, Waters fantasizes about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road? His real-life rides include a gentle eighty-one-year-old farmer who is convinced Waters is a hobo, an indie band on tour, and the perverse filmmaker's unexpected hero: a young, sandy-haired Republican in a Corvette.</p> <p>Laced with subversive humor and warm intelligence, <em>Carsick</em> is an unforgettable vacation with a wickedly funny companionーand a celebration of America's weird, astonishing, and generous citizenry.</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。 1,733円

Race across America Eddie Gardner and the Great Bunion Derbies【電子書籍】[ Charles B. Kastner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>2020 Peace Corps Writers Paul Cowan Award for the Best Book of Non-Fiction</strong></p> <p>On April 23, 1929, the second annual Transcontinental Foot Race across America, known as the Bunion Derby, was in its twenty-fifth day. Eddie "the Sheik" Gardner, an African American runner from Seattle, was leading the race across the Free Bridge over the Mississippi River. Along with the signature outfit that earned him his nicknameーa white towel tied around his head, white shorts, and a white shirtーGardner wore an American flag, a reminder to all who saw him run through the Jim Crow South that he was an American and the leader of the greatest footrace in the world.</p> <p>Kastner traces Gardner’s remarkable journey from his birth in 1897 in Birmingham, Alabama, to his success in Seattle, Washington, as one of the top long-distance runners in the region, and finally to his participation in two transcontinental footraces where he risked his life, facing a barrage of harassment for having the audacity to compete with white runners. Kastner shows how Gardner’s participation became a way to protest the endemic racism he faced, heralding the future of nonviolent efforts that would be instrumental to the civil rights movement. Shining a bright light on his extraordinary athletic accomplishments and his heroism on the dusty roads of America in the 1920s, Kastner gives Gardner and other black bunioneers the attention they so richly deserve.</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。 3,901円
