Lost Blackpool【電子書籍】[ Chris Bottomley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Like all towns and cities in the UK, Blackpool has changed over the years, and continues to do so. This much-loved seaside resort has developed from just a few houses fronting its 7 miles of ‘Golden Beach’ in the mid- to late 1700s, to what it is today with its famous Tower, three piers, Golden Mile, Illuminations, Comedy Carpet and Pleasure Beach. In the intervening period many attractions along the promenade have come and gone and the whole 7 miles developed with hotels and houses. Lost Blackpool shows the many well-known attractions and buildings ? such as the Big Wheel, The Palace, Derby Baths, Yates’s and Central station ? that are no longer part of the landscape, as well as many of the shops, schools, pubs, cinemas and churches of the ‘other’ Blackpool behind the seafront. Lost Blackpool is a book that will appeal not only to the town’s residents but also the many visitors who come here every year to sample its delights.</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。 1,634円

Raising communicative competence in second language learning - the Blackpool Telos Project the Blackpool Telos Project【電子書籍】[ Sofie Renner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 3,0, University of Tubingen (Seminar f?r Englische Philologie), course: Hauptseminar Englische Linguistik, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: 'Communication is understood as the exchange and negotiation of information between at least two individuals through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, oral and written/ visual modes, and production and comprehension processes' (Michael Canale 1983:4). The aim of the Blackpool Telos Project is to raise communicative competence in second language learning of 10th and 11th grade german grammar school students. The BTP is also suitable for advanced adult learners. The above mentioned quotation should serve as a kind of guiding principle for the following analysis. One should bear in mind that according to Breen & Candlin (1980), Morrow (1977) and Widdowson (1978), communication is a form of social interaction and is unpredictable and creative both in form and message. Communication occurs in sociocultural contexts and in discourse, it is performed under limiting psychological and other conditions. It always has a purpose and involves authentic as opposed to textbook language. And finally, communication is considered to be successful or not on the basis of actual results. The learner and his needs, the learning goal and the final realization within Telos are the most important points. In the BTP, special emphasis will be put on the independent learning of a second language in a constructive environment. Here, English is considered as a second language and not foreign language because it is used within the own language field. Non native English speakers can find themselves in two situations: 'einerseits Situationen, in denen Englisch als 'fremde Sprache' verwendet wird, d.h. au?erhalb des eigenen Sprachraums und der f?r die eigene Kultur und Gesellschaft allt?glichen Kommunikationsanl?sse und -funktionen; andererseits Situationen, in denen dem Englischen innerhalb des eigenen Sprachraums als 'zweite Sprache' neben der eigentlichen Muttersprache eine kulturell und gesellschaftlich verankerte und bedeutsame Rolle zukommt' (Kohn, Kurt 2002: 1). The organization of this paper is as follows. First I will provide a theoretical background for the BTP. Special emphasis is put on defining communicative approaches. The second part connects theory and practice. In this part, the main aim of the Blackpool Telos Project, and an introduction to the different activities, will be discussed and linked to constuctivist ideas. The third part will provide a linguistic context of the material and discuss the learning potential of the various tasks. In order to illustrate the third part, screenshots of the BTP will be used. The CD with the BTP will be attached to the paper.</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。 458円

Blackpool Tower A History【電子書籍】[ Peter Walton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When Blackpool Tower was being built, many people said it would be a failure. Originally estimated at 〓150,000, it ended up costing twice that much and John Bickerstaffe nearly went bust building this unique attraction. But he was right. Once the Tower was open, his company made a profit every year that it existed as an independent public entity. Not only was the Tower profitable, but it fuelled the Tower Company as Bickerstaffe built it into the dominant entertainment group in Blackpool. Under his leadership it acquired the Palace and later the Winter Gardens and Opera House. By the 1930s it was running ballrooms, cinemas, live theatre and the famous Tower Circus. The Bickerstaffe brothers were also key figures in Blackpool’s civic life. This is a story of the Victorian entrepreneurship that created Blackpool’s most iconic building, and led to Blackpool being the apogee of seaside entertainment.</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。 1,634円

Der Rocker von Blackpool Butler Parker 295 ? Kriminalroman【電子書籍】[ G?nter D?nges ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Butler Parker ist ein Detektiv mit Witz, Charme und Stil. Er wird von Verbrechern gerne untersch?tzt und das hat meist unangenehme Folgen. Der Regenschirm ist sein Markenzeichen, mit dem auch seine Gegner ?fters mal Bekanntschaft machen. Diese Krimis haben eine besondere Art ihre Leser zu unterhalten. Butler Parker ist seinen Gegnern, den ?belsten Ganoven, auch geistig meilenweit ?berlegen. In seiner auffallend unscheinbaren Tarnung l?st er jeden Fall. Bravour?s, brillant, effektiv ? spannendere und zugleich humorvollere Krimis gibt es nicht! Sie trug einen Bikini und lag im wei?en Sand des langen K?stenstreifens. Die junge Frau war f?nfundzwanzig Jahre alt, schlank und langbeinig. Sie hatte kupferrotes Haar und geno? die warme Sonne ?ber der Irischen See. Nicht weit von ihr entfernt spielten einige junge M?nner Fu?ball. Sie trugen Badeshorts oder Jeans und benahmen sich geradezu r?de. Sie kickten hemmungslos und johlten vor Vergn?gen, wenn der Ball auf den anderen Badeg?sten landete. Doch die Leute muckten kaum auf. Es handelte sich um kinderreiche Familien, die im Seebad Lytham St. Annes Erholung suchten. Die V?ter sp?rten wohl instinktiv, da? die jungen M?nner nur Streit suchten, ?ngstliche M?tter dr?ngten bereits zum Aufbruch und sammelten ihre Kinder. Die Sonne ?ber der See und dem Strand wurde von der Angst verdr?ngt. Der Fu?ball landete inzwischen auf dem Bauch eines Mannes mit ausgepr?gter Korpulenz. Er lag auf einem Frotteelaken und trug eine Sonnenbrille. Der Mann richtete sich auf und war ?rgerlich. Er warf den Ball gereizt zum Wasser und legte sich wieder nieder. Dann griff er nach der Zeitung, die an ihrem Platz lag, und merkte einige Sekunden sp?ter, da? er wohl als Opfer auserkoren war. F?nf junge M?nner hatten sich um ihn herum aufgebaut und schaufelten mit nackten F??en kleine Sandladungen auf seinen Bauch. Dabei johlten sie nicht mehr vor Vergn?gen, ihre Gesichter waren ernst. "Was soll denn der Unsinn? " Der korpulente Mann richtete sich auf und fegte den Sand von seinem K?rper.</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。 480円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A celebration of the classic football derby matches. From the Celtic?Rangers rivalry and Tyneside derby to the biggest global clashes from Barcelona to Buenos Aires, journalist Andy Mitten uses the fans' own words and stories to illuminate the conflicts, tensions, histories and culture behind these fascinating games.</p> <p>From Belfast to Barcelona, Buenos Aires to Bogot?, these are football matches that are far more than a game.</p> <p>Often a microcosm of life in a city, there are countless rivalries between clubs which are steeped in a historical enmity based on class, religion, politics, envy or philosophy. Some of the games, like Rangers v Celtic, are renowned for their vocal sectarianism, others like Tenerife v Las Palmas for their eclectic fan base, while little or nothing is known about the derbies in Cairo and Calcutta which attracts twice as many fans as any Old Firm clash.</p> <p>Andy Mitten journeys across the UK and the far-flung regions of planet football, talking to a host of passionate fans ? from the vividly ordinary, working-class supporters to the corporate box brigade who think nothing of hopping on a plane for their weekend jaunt to the exotic cities of Madrid, Barcelona or Milan ? and gets to share their highs and lows. This in turn provides a fresh and revealing insight into the people who make these matches matter ? the fans ? using their own words and stories to illuminate the conflicts, tension and histories behind the games. He also interviews players, managers, politicians, local journalists and agents drawing out differing opinions and perspectives on the beautiful game.</p> <p>Among the highlights:</p> <p>Celtic v Rangers, Man Utd v Liverpool, Cliftonville v Linfield, Sunderland v Newcastle, Preston v Blackpool, Barcelona v Real Madrid, Roma v Lazio, Boca Juniors v River Plate, Fenerbache v Galatasaray, Ajax v Feyenoord, the Faroe Islands derby, the Calcutta Derby, and the worst derby on the planet, alongside many 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。 1,309円

Blackpool and the Fylde During WW1【電子書籍】[ Colin Reed ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Blackpool was a Royal Army Medical Corps centre during WW1, with 10,000 RAMC personnel in the town. When war broke out on August 4th 1914 the holiday season in the popular holiday resort was in full swing…and then the soldiers began arriving. First the regional regiments to train on the wide beaches and stay in the plentiful accommodation available. Then the munition workers and then the medics and along with the growing numbers of injured soldiers came the Belgian refugees. In 1917 the fresh faced young US medics of the base hospitals, straight out of university, made Blackpool their home for their education in the state of modern warfare before moving out to repair the damage to mind and body on the slaughter fields. It was a place where the War was reflected in both the weaknesses and strengths within the diversity of the human spirit of the generation that was thrown into it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 555円

The Blackpool Streamlined Trams【電子書籍】[ Peter Waller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“What a variety are pictured here! Double deck ‘balloon’ cars, single deckers including open topped cars and various illuminated cars, a specialty of the town.” ーYork Model Engineers newsletter</strong></p> <p>In the early 1930s the tramcar in Blackpool was at a crossroads; the system needed investment in both new track and new trams while there was a serious threat that the “town” routes might be converted to bus operation.</p> <p>The appointment of Walter Luff as the new general manager was, however, to prove a turning point. Working closely with English Electric, based in nearby Preston, Luff developed a series of streamlined tramsーboth single-deck and double-deckーthat were to revolutionize the town’s tramway. By the end of 1930s, the corporation had acquired more than 100 new tramsーthe majority built by English Electric but with twenty coming from Brushーthat ensured the survival not only of the key route along the Promenade to Fleetwood but also of the bulk of the “town” routes.</p> <p>Over the next seventy years these trams were to form the cornerstone of the Blackpool system. It was only with the modernization of the system in the first decade of the 20th century that, finally, they became largely obsolete but still, as part of the heritage fleet, they remain very much part of the contemporary Blackpool scene.</p> <p>This book examines the history of Blackpool’s streamlined trams of the 1930s from development through to preservation.</p> <p><strong>“An important addition to the more straightforward business and picture book histories of the Blackpool tram network which local historians and industrial archaeologists will find of great value aiding future studies of this subject.” ーTransactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society</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。 1,584円
