The Shadow of a Crime A Cumbrian Romance【電子書籍】[ Hall Sir Caine ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Shadow of a Crime," Hall Sir Caine delves into the complexities of moral ambiguity and human psychology within the framework of a gripping mystery. The narrative is characterized by its vivid characterizations and a keen exploration of social issues in Victorian society. Drawing parallels between crime and personal tragedy, Caine employs a naturalistic style that captures the inner turmoil of his characters, particularly the protagonist, who grapples with guilt and societal judgment, rendering a haunting inquiry into the nature of justice and redemption. Caine, a prominent figure in early 20th-century British literature, was deeply influenced by the social realities and cultural transformations of his time. His background in theater and his keen understanding of human emotions likely contributed to the depth and psychological realism present in this work. "The Shadow of a Crime" reflects Caine's interest in moral dilemmas and the societal pressures that shape individual destinies, offering a critique of the rigid moral codes of his era. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological thrillers that probe the darker aspects of human existence. Caine's masterful storytelling blended with profound themes makes this an essential read for anyone exploring the intersections of crime, morality, and the human condition.</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。

Atmosphere, Mood, Stimmung On a Hidden Potential of Literature【電子書籍】[ Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What are the various atmospheres or moods that the reading of literary works can trigger? Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht has long argued that the function of literature is not so much to describe, or to re-present, as to make present. Here, he goes one step further, exploring the substance and reality of language as a material component of the worldーimpalpable hints, tones, and airs that, as much as they may be elusive, are no less matters of actual fact.</p> <p>Reading, we discover, is an experiencing of specific moods and atmospheres, or <em>Stimmung</em>. These moods are on a continuum akin to a musical scale. They present themselves as nuances that challenge our powers of discernment and description, as well as language's potential to capture them. Perhaps the best we can do is to point in their direction. Conveying personal encounters with poetry, song, painting, and the novel, this book thus gestures toward the intangible and in the process, constitutes a bold defense of the subjective experience of the arts.</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。

The Ballad of Penumbria I: A King's Ransom【電子書籍】[ Ronald Patterson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Penumbria is a kingdom without a king, a land without hope, where every citizen is a slave to inviolable laws, and the regent, Duke Botewulf Blagden, rules with harsh edicts and unpredictable cruelty.</p> <p>In the capitol city of Langford, a young serf-turned-thief named Dava, suffering from an iron anklet too small for his growing leg, finally despairs of life and seeks to end his misery in the sterile desert of the Endless Emptiness. But a seeming chance encounter with three strange travelers sets him on a new path. One of the travelers is the Baroness Bronwyn d'Orlynn, a childhood friend and one of the few people he had ever loved. Her companion and protector, a knight errant named Sir Rismon de'Allanor, watches Dava with mistrustful eyes. The leader of the group is an enigmatic peasant known only as Lamion, who Sir Rismon titles 'lord'.</p> <p>Through tales told on the journey, Dava realizes that Lamion is none other than the missing king of Penumbria, returned from Luminalia across the stormy Mare Discidium. In a magnanimous gesture, Lamion takes Dava as his personal squire, and the wall of nobility and peasantry separating Dava and Bronwyn crumbles.</p> <p>Lamion proclaims his intent to travel to Kingshold Castle high on the ridgeline of Mount Greyashe, and confront Blagden and claim the throne. Still, Lamion has only a few followers to stand against Duke Blagden's armies. How can he hope to regain his throne with no political power, no weapons, and just a handful of misfits? And more than that, where is the symbol of the king's right to rule? Where is the Crystal Sword?</p> <p>A KING'S RANSOM is the first volume in THE BALLAD OF PENUMBRIA medieval fantasy series.</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。

The Fall of the Kingdom of Northumbria【電子書籍】[ Dr. Clifton Wilcox ]

|
<p>The Battle of Dunnichen is significant since it marked the turning point in the history of the Picts and marked their independence from the Kingdom of Northumbria. Not only is this possibly the best documented event in the history of the Picts, but it also allowed them to overthrow the Northumbrian rule and the dark shadow it cast over all northern peoples. Without the leadership of King Bridei and his courageous followers, Scotland as we know it may not have existed. The battle also helped to define the Scottish/English border that remains today, a border that could have been pushed further north by the Northumbrians if they had not been stopped.</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。

Analysing the contradictions of U.S. power while illustrating the real progress won by sustained popular struggle, Chomsky cuts through official political rhetoric to examine how the United States not only violates the UD, but at times uses it as a weapon to wield against designated enemies.</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。

Climate Migration Governance and the Discourse of Citizenship in India【電子書籍】[ Ritumbra Manuvie ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book offers an in-depth analysis of how governments in vulnerable regions respond to climate migrations. The author argues that, despite the newness of the discipline, responding to hydro-meteorological disasters at the sub-state level is fairly old and institutionalised. Using the example of India, and the State of Assam, the author demonstrates how existing rights-based frameworks are used as norms for governing climate migrations. However, these normative frameworks become futile when the sub-state simultaneously contests the status of climate migrants as legitimate citizens. Instead, the responsibility is replaced with pity-making and the state becomes an empathetic spectator - who understands the misfortune but refuses to be held accountable for either the development or protection of those worst affected by climate change. Those who migrate due to climate change often find themselves stripped of their lands (because of erosion) and their political belonging to the society.</p> <p>The volume will be useful for those studying climate migrations and disaster responses to better understand how communities which are most affected by climatic disasters may not even have a right to have rights against the State they found themselves in.</p> <p><strong>Ritumbra Manuvie</strong> is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer of Law at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. The author studied migration, citizenship, and belonging in Assam during her doctoral work at the University of Edinburgh. She is currently part of the ELSA - North Netherlands lab which aims to study Ethical, Legal, and Socio-political factors that influence the usage of AI in the health sector.</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。

History of the Kings of Britain: Historia Regum Britanniae【電子書籍】[ Geoffrey of Monmouth ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Historia Regum Britanniae (English: The History of the Kings of Britain) is a pseudohistorical account of British history, written c. 1136 by Geoffrey of Monmouth. It chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons in a chronological narrative spanning a time of two thousand years, beginning with the Trojans founding the British nation and continuing until the Anglo-Saxons assumed control of much of Britain around the 7th century. It is one of the central pieces of the Matter of Britain. Credited uncritically well into the 16th century since the 17th century it has been credited with little value as history. When events described, such as Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain, can be corroborated from contemporary histories, Geoffrey's account can be seen to be wildly inaccurate, but is a valuable piece of medieval literature, which contains the earliest known version of the story of King Lear and his three daughters, and introduced non-Welsh-speakers to the legend of King Arthur.</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。

PENUMBRA HARROWING TO THE BONE OF YOUR SOUL【電子書籍】[ Luigi Bruno di Belmonte ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>We are in the fifties in the aftermath of World War 2.The setting is that of MittelEurope following the trail of a certain aristocracy whose dreams had been consigned to the world’s memory but parts of it still lived on among those mountains and… onto these pages.</p> <p>. The action moves swiftly. From the French Riviera on board of the sleekest schooner, to Sicily where the fateful encounter occurs, to the Alps of the Obersalzberg involved in a threesome unforgettable juncture, or in Paris at the Ritz or Chez Maxim’s, or at la Place de la Contrescarpe cavorting with Ernest Hemingway, or still in Berlin under the bombs of General Patton. </p> <p> Imagine a woman that falls in love with a man that cannot see her. Imagine a man not born blind but becomes one in the blast of a land mine. Imagine a woman who cannot have children but must deliver one for dynastic reasons and conceives to having one through the unaware help of her blind lover and her fully aware lesbian friend. Sperm donors didn’t exist in those days and to a newborn there was but ne way to break into life….This is the bone of this story. We’re in the heart of Europe in the aftermath of World War Two, future is set to become past’s extreme contrary. </p> <p>An extraordinary schooner lands in Palermo in need of repair. On board Baroness Margaux von Wuttembach cannot hide her disappointment. She had never been in Palermo and the hotel of her choice is completely deserted. Enthralled by the flowers she decides to have her breakfast in the garden. As she looks around equally fascinated by the city’s imperious monuments, she notices a man coming toward her: tall, black curly hair, dark shades, well dressed. Not used to that type of Mediterranean looks, she stared at him. A mighty dog, a Newfoundland perhaps, accompanies the man. With total casualness, they begin talking, in English… definitely something is in the air. The woman says to be Baroness Margaux von Wuttembach, waiting for her propeller to arrive from Germany. Directed to Greece she says to be. In introducing himself the man says to be Foudroyé Del Lago, half Italian and half English. Their brief encounter amidst the garden’s relentless bloom is cut short by a telephone call for the Baroness and by a waiter calling the man Prince. The woman salutes perplexed. Both make a point to seeing each other again, for dinner… that very evening… in an old villa right behind the hotel?</p> <p>What if the woman finds out that the man is blind? </p> <p>Through a series of intense encounters both at Foudroyé’s Villa del Lago and at the family‘s fishing cannery the flamboyant Baroness Wuttembach suddenly becomes enthralled by young blind Prince Del Lago. Their love making could not be more sensual and…romantic, specially to a woman that did not want to have rapports with men. </p> <p>However, many are the questions impinging on their encounter, since its very beginning that is. Who was Baroness von Wuttembach? What was she going to do in Greece? Who is Ute Kolbach, a blonde woman she talks about ever more often? It was soon clear how Foudroyé Del Lago was confronted with the smooth splendor of a woman of the world easily overpowering a young man who in order to survive operated a radio station, a post to reach the blind as he himself was one having lost his corneas on a land mine. News about corneas transplants are becoming ever more frequent, Margaux invites him to her house in Paris, Foudroyé decides to take a chance. They leave together but to find the right pair of corneas requires time and both leave for Berchtesgaden’s where in the Wuttembach’s opulent chalet (windows same measures as nearby Hitler’s Bergdorf) the mystery of their relationship slowly unfolds. A silver plaque in Foudroyé’s bedroom reports a thought by Sigmund Freud “I’m becoming used to the idea of considering any sexual encounter as a process in which at least four people are involved. We shall discuss this at length.” Foudroyé’s fingertips are able to decode those lines. He is perplexed. But it all looked so casual in that house so much dripping with culture. What was happening to him? Where was he? Should he believe Margaux? What reason could she have besides that of loving him? He too discovers to be in love with Margaux.</p> <p>The relationship soon changes into a threesome affair. It involves Ute, the blonde angel in love with Margaux since the time when the latter worked as a prostitute in the streets of Berlin, Margaux, herself homosexual but not completely, and Foudroyé who loves Margaux but could not see her beyond the sensitivity of his fingertips. Foudroyé goes along with what he considers a game to enrich their way of making love. However, who was the fourth person mentioned in that silver plaque so wittingly exposed in his bedroom? Stephan von Wuttembach, Margaux’s husband, the warmonger steel-Baron? No, no, all evidences seemed to exclude him. The conundrum focuses mainly on this interrogative. But it will be Greta Hilde Cunegonda to unveil the poignant question at the very end though, the very end of everything!</p> <p>In reality, what could have been behind those saturnalia? Certainly not lust as the main thread seems to be love, love in its ultimate essence. In reality, Margaux could not have children, but in reason of her marriage to Germany’s most powerful industrialist, she must have one. In those days there were no sperm donors and there was but one way for a newborn to come across life. Foudroyé’s blindness suddenly played into her plan. Although she loves Foudroyé, she decides to use him in her scheme, that of having a child through the help of her completely aware lesbian friend and the unaware participation of… Foudroyé. That’s the reason behind the threesome performance carried out with the semblances of a love affair, it was only too real.</p> <p>Finally Foudroyé’s dramatic search for his corneas is coming to due. His undergoes one the first transplant operations taking place in the world, it’s an astonishing success but the moment they take off his bandages and he looks for Margaux she is…gone.</p> <p>The hunt for Margaux begins in earnest: not an easy task given he had never seen her nor he had any clue of the whereabouts of the great cottage in the Obersalzberg. But determined to find her he was.</p> <p> </p> <p>Suddenly all Europe is inundated by the invitations in honor of Greta Hilde Cunegonda, presented to all as the new Wuttembach heir. All participants were asked to don the costumes of medieval. Uninvited but hidden inside an armor, Foudroyé allegedly arrives to see Margaux while fondling the baby all believe to be hers. It’s a very emotional moment in this novel indeed rich with moving moments. But the two never will get see each other.</p> <p>The war in South Tirol is also an essential part of this narrative. Financed by Baron von Wuttembach, this conflict acts as quicklime keeping the string of the story together, a story always on the brink of something else. The birth of Greta Hilde Cunegonda von Wuttembach coincides with an attack by police in which Margaux and her husband die. Here is where the final part begins, twenty years on. The hero of this denouement is Greta Hilde Cunegonda, richissime and a musician herself; her personality is no second to any of the characters met all along. One evening, in reading a book casually taken from the racks of a supermarket, she discovers nothing less than she was not Margaux and Stephan Wuttembach’s daughter. “Who am I?” she asks completely befuddled while reading Meine Liebe Meine Liebe, a book recently published and hotly debated by the upper class the world over. As she progresses with her read, she finds herself immersed in the throes of details about her family completely unbeknownst to her. More than a brief mention in a synopsis should be devoted to Meine Liebe Meine Liebe, a story written by Ashleigh Hellikotter, Foudroyé’s old pal and Hemingway’s dearest friend who happened to have witnessed the whole affair since its start in Sicily. Meine Liebe Meine Liebe, a story in its own rights so titled after the way Margaux called Foudroyé, it’s a sort of a scaffold, a voice over from which one learns the secrets beyond the wings, indeed many.

Ministers of a New Medium Broadcasting Theology in the Radio Ministries of Fulton J. Sheen and Walter A. Maier【電子書籍】[ Kirk D. Farney ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Named Best Major Publication by Concordia Historical Institute</strong></p> <p><strong>During the anxiety-laden period from the Great Depression through World War II to the Cold War, Americans found a welcome escape in the new medium of radio.</strong> Throughout radio's "Golden Age," religious broadcasting in particular contributed significantly to American culture. Yet its historic role often has been overlooked.</p> <p>In <em>Ministers of a New Medium</em>, Kirk D. Farney explores the work of two groundbreaking leaders in religious broadcasting: Fulton J. Sheen and Walter A. Maier. These clergymen and professorsーone a Catholic priest, the other a Lutheran ministerーeach led the way in combining substantive theology and emerging technology to spread the gospel over the airwaves. Through weekly nationwide broadcasts, Maier's <em>The Lutheran Hour</em> and Sheen's <em>Catholic Hour</em> attracted listeners across a spectrum of denominational and religious affiliations, establishing their hostsーand Christian radio itselfーas cultural and religious forces to be reckoned with.</p> <p>Farney examines how Sheen and Maier used their exceptional erudition, their sensitivity to the times, their powerful communication skills, and their unwavering Christian conviction, all for the purpose of calling the souls of listeners and the soul of a nation to repentance and godliness. Their combination of talents also brought their respective denominations, Roman Catholicism and Missouri Synod Lutheranism, from the periphery of the American religious landscape to a much greater level of recognition and acceptance. With careful attention to both the theological content and the cultural influence of these masters of a new medium, Farney's study sheds new light on the history of media and Christianity in the United States.</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。

VCs of the North Cumbria, Durham & Northumberland【電子書籍】[ Alan Whitworth ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Today the Victoria Cross remains the supreme British award for bravery. It takes precedence over all other awards and decorations. During its 160-year history, since the first medals were given for gallantry during the Crimean War in the 1850s, 1,357 of these medals have been won, and almost fifty of them have gone to the soldiers of Cumbria, Durham and Northumberland . Alan Whitworth, in this carefully researched and revealing account, describes in graphic detail the exploits and the lives of this elite band of heroes. Within this group of Northern VC recipients are a number of outstanding names, including Richard Annand who gained the first VC of the Second World War and Roland Bradford who was one of only four sets of brothers to have secured the VC. He also had the distinction of becoming the youngest general in the British army. But among the roll of the brave whose gallantry and self-sacrifice are celebrated in these pages the reader will find the names and extraordinary deeds of many other men who were either born or bred or lived and died in the North. They will also find the story of the youngest Victoria Cross recipient who won his award aged just nineteen.The stories of these ordinary individuals who have 'performed some signal act of valour or devotion to their country' will be fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in military history in general and in the long military tradition of the North of England.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Shadow of a Crime," Hall Sir Caine masterfully delves into the psychological turmoil and moral complexities surrounding guilt and redemption.

His treatment of complex emotional and social issues in "The Shadow of a Crime" reflects his unique position as both an observer and participant in the changing dynamics of society. Caine's passion for theatricality and storytelling is evident, drawing from his background in drama to imbue the narrative with vivid emotional conflict. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature and moral philosophy. Caine'??s nuanced examination of the darker facets of the human experience will resonate with those seeking depth and introspection in their reading, making it a timeless exploration of the shadows that linger beyond our transgressions.</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。

The Economic Roots of the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong Globalization and the Rise of China【電子書籍】[ Louis Augustin-Jean ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the autumn of 2014, thousands of people, young and educated in their majority, occupied the chief business district and seat of the government in Hong Kong. The protest, known as the Umbrella Movement, called for ‘genuine democracy’, as well as a fairer social and economic system.</p> <p>The book aims to provide a dynamic framework to explain why socioeconomic forces converged to produce such a situation. Examining increasing inequality, rising prices and stagnating incomes, it stresses the role of economic and social factors, as opposed to the domestic political and constitutional issues often assumed to be the root cause behind the protests. It first argues that globalization and the increasing influence of China’s economy in Hong Kong has weighted on salaries. Second, it shows that the oligopolistic nature of the local economy has generated rents, which have reinforced inequality. The book demonstrates that the younger generation, which is still finding its place in society, has been particularly affected by these phenomena, especially with social mobility at a low point.</p> <p>Offering a new approach to studying the Umbrella Movement, this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in Hong Kong's political landscape, as well Chinese politics more broadly.</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。

Under the Umbrella of God【電子書籍】[ Jerry Webb ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>1 Corinthians 2:9,But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [a]who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. On the cover of this book is a picture of a tree that represents The Tree of Life. This tree was not only real, but symbolic of Gods gift of eternal life and blessings. Ironic, is it not, that a tree at the beginning of creation, would symbolize the ultimate blessing at the end of Christs earthly reign, as a cross. Whatever we would desire, and everything we will need to navigate this life can be found under this tree. Our shelter from lifes storms is here; protection from our enemy is here; health, healing, knowledge, and wisdom, are all here. Think of these things the next time the storms of life threaten you. There is protection Under The Umbrella of God.</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。

Crowds The Stadium as a Ritual of Intensity【電子書籍】[ Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Anyone who has ever experienced a sporting event in a large stadium knows the energy that emanates from stands full of fans cheering on their teams. Although "the masses" have long held a thoroughly bad reputation in politics and culture, literary critic and avid sports fan Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht finds powerful, as yet unexplored reasons to sing the praises of crowds. Drawing on his experiences as a spectator in the stadiums of South America, Germany, and the US, Gumbrecht presents the stadium as "a ritual of intensity," thereby offering a different lens through which we might capture and even appreciate the dynamic of the masses.</p> <p>In presenting this alternate view, Gumbrecht enters into conversation with thinkers who were more critical of the potential of the masses, such as Gustave Le Bon, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Jos? Ortega y Gasset, Elias Canetti, Siegfried Kracauer, T. W. Adorno, or Max Horkheimer. A preface explores college crowds as a uniquely specific phenomenon of American culture.</p> <p>Pairing philosophical rigor with the enthusiasm of a true fan, Gumbrecht writes from the inside and suggests that being part of a crowd opens us up to an experience beyond ourselves.</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。

Take Back Our Future An Eventful Sociology of the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>In a comprehensive and theoretically novel analysis,</strong> <em><strong>Take Back Our Future</strong></em> <strong>unveils the causes, processes, and implications of the 2014 seventy-nine-day occupation movement in Hong Kong known as the Umbrella Movement.</strong> The essays presented here by a team of experts with deep local knowledge ask: how and why had a world financial center known for its free-wheeling capitalism transformed into a hotbed of mass defiance and civic disobedience?</p> <p><em>Take Back Our Future</em> argues that the Umbrella Movement was a response to China's internal colonization strategiesーpolitical disenfranchisement, economic subsumption, and identity reengineeringーin post-handover Hong Kong. The contributors outline how this historic and transformative movement formulated new cultural categories and narratives, fueled the formation and expansion of civil society organizations and networks both for and against the regime, and spurred the regime's turn to repression and structural closure of dissent. Although the Umbrella Movement was fraught with internal tensions, <em>Take Back Our Future</em> demonstrates that the movement politicized a whole generation of people who had no prior experience in politics, fashioned new subjects and identities, and awakened popular consciousness.</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。

Bones for Barnum Brown Adventures of a Dinosaur Hunter【電子書籍】[ Roland T. Bird ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Roland Thaxter Bird, universally and affectionately known to friends and associates as R. T., achieved a kind of Horatio Alger success in the scientific world of dinosaur studies. Forced to drop out of school at a young age by ill health, he was a cowboy who traveled from job to job by motorcycle until he met Barnum Brown, Curator of Vertebrae Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and a leader in the study of dinosaurs. Beginning in 1934, Bird spent many years as an employee of the museum and as Brown's right-hand man in the field. His chart of the Howe Quarry in Wyoming, a massive sauropod boneyard, is one of the most complex paleontological charts ever produced and a work of art in its own right. His crowning achievement was the discovery, collection, and interpretation of gigantic Cretaceous dinosaur trackways along the Paluxy River near Glen Rose and at Bandera, Texas. A trackway from Glen Rose is on exhibit at the American Museum and at the Texas Memorial Museum in Austin. His interpretation of these trackways demonstrated that a large carnosaur had pursued and attacked a sauropod, that sauropods migrated in herds, and that, contrary to then-current belief, sauropods were able to support their own weight out of deep water. These behavioral interpretations anticipated later dinosaur studies by at least two decades.</p> <p>From his first meeting with Barnum Brown to his discoveries at Glen Rose and Bandera, this very human account tells the story of Bird's remarkable work on dinosaurs. In a vibrantly descriptive style, Bird recorded both the intensity and excitement of field work and the careful and painstaking detail of laboratory reconstruction. His memoir presents a vivid picture of camp life with Brown and the inner workings of the famous American Museum of Natural History, and it offers a new and humanizing account of Brown himself, one of the giants of his field.</p> <p>Bird's memoir has been supplemented with a clear and concise introduction to the field of dinosaur study and with generous illustrations which delineate the various types of dinosaurs.</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。
