Written in Stone An entertaining time-travelling jaunt through the Stone Age origins of our modern-day language【電子書籍】[ Christopher Stevens ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Half the world’s population speaks a language that has evolved from a single, prehistoric mother tongue. A mother tongue first spoken in Stone Age times, on the steppes of central Eurasia 6,500 years ago. It was so effective that it flourished for two thousand years. It was a language that spread from the shores of the Black Sea across almost all of Europe and much of Asia.<br /> It is the genetic basis of everything we speak and write today ? the DNA of language.</p> <p>WRITTEN IN STONE combines detective work, mythology, ancient history, archaeology, the roots of society, technology and warfare, and the sheer fascination of words to explore that original mother tongue, sketching the connections woven throughout the immense vocabulary of English ? with some surprising results. In snappy, lively and often very funny chapters, it uncovers the most influential and important words used by our Neolithic ancestors, and shows how they are still in constant use today ? the building blocks of all our most common words and phrases.</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。 1,659円

Aggressive, genetically-modified wild beasts and bizarre post-humans won't stop Beamo, but he might not have the know-how to handle Tee's younger sister, Little Bit. The strong-willed woman falls for her brother's hostage-guide and he falls for her. Tee ratchets up pressure on Beamo to steer clear of his sister. All the while a vicious empire of chopper-riding, human-skin-collecting marauders is hot on their trail. It all leads to a desperate showdown at an ancient U.S. base hidden in what was once Nevada. Beamo wants the gold and wants to stay alive. He needs to deal with Tee to keep his hardcore reputation. After discovering a gold laptop that contains information to heal the planet, he realizes he wants a life of redemption with Little Bit more than anything else.</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。 1,067円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
The collection of stories in Krishna’s Jaunt and Other Stories is a blend of fiction and fantasy. While most of them deal with human emotions and human reactions to different sets of circumstances and situations, quite a few deal with gods and goddesses who also, despite their supernatural powers, display human emotions and reactions. At times, they too commit blunders that lead to hilarious situations.Besides, the gods and goddesses take to sports like cricket and soccer, and a couple of stories are woven around them. Animals like the dog and the squirrel too find a place in the stories where they play vital roles in apprehending criminals.Amongst the stories, are a few involving men of high principles, and who are a role model for others. With romance being the main theme in most of them, and with humour interspersed here and there, the stories make for an interesting read.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。 399円

Absolutely, Positively, Genuine, Real Fake News A Jaunty Romp through the Deep State, Media-Industrial Complex and the Progressive Mind【電子書籍】[ Sir Telsunn Margraves ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Fake News is actually a wonderful thing in that it allows for so many appealing possibilities to consider. All fake news needs to have is some element of truth in order for it to reverberate with viewers, readers or consumers of news through any source. For example, there is a James Comey, he is a former director of the FBI; there is a Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is a current justice of the United States Supreme Court; both persons work out of Washington, DC; sexual harassment exists and used Hummers are sold via classified ads all the time. That seems pretty ordinary when considered as separate items, but when you combine them in a single news item you get “Former FBI Director Comey Accuses Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of Sexual Harassment!” See…simple, quick, easy, hard-to-prove and hard-to disprove and the prospect that it could be true makes the possibility even more fascinating. Another item of keen interest in “Absolutely…Positively…Genuine…Real Fake News” is the presser held when the Clooney’s and their family came back to the US. They were here to announce the opening of the “George and Amal Clooney Beverly Hills Muslim Outreach Center.” The author uses this opportunity to write about his ruminations so that the reader may consider his experiences as their view into a world reserved for the privileged few. Another favorite APGR Fake News feature is when “Chelsea Handler Launches the “I Hate Trump Fan Club” and a stellar event it was. The Club’s Advisory Board is comprised of so many women who have so little regard for the President that it makes for an excellent example into what Americans call a study in cohesive and collective thought. There are so many possibilities in fake newsworthy events that the mind boggles. You need not go any further than when “North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Weds actress Madeleine LeBeau” or HBO’s John Oliver as he taped his soon-to-be-released documentary “The Snowflake Lounge”, or Bill Nye “The Science Guy Blames Man-made Global Warming for Drastic Drop of UFO Sightings” plus more than 36 articles, interviews, blog posts, features all written to titillate, illuminate and fascinate the reader. It all culminates in the First Annual “Fake News Awards” where honors are bestowed on the men and women who make fake news what it is! “Absolutely, Positively, Genuine, Real Fake News” is written as a tribute to America; a marvel to the fact that even when the media reports fake news they do it in a truly magnificent way. The mainstream of news networks, entertainment venues, online blogs, prestigious newspapers and other media have turned a beautifully blind eye toward the curiosity for truth that had been their hallmark. Now it seems that a uniformity of common purpose guides so much of what is thought, written, reported and accepted by the fifth estate. Whether there is a story about “The Trump Limbaugh Barbeque” or destroyed emails or some Russian collusion, real or imagined, sourced or unsourced, founded or unfounded, that does not deter the ever powerful cannons of the Mainstream Media from using the American news consumers as fodder…truly magnificent!</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。 680円

The Out-station, Or Jaunts in the Jungle【電子書籍】[ James Willyams Grylls ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"A nice racy zest. Grylls naturally lived a sort of curried life, everlastingly in high-seasoned adventureーnow with wild men; anon with bears, and boars, and elks, and elephants." -<em>The Sporting Review, 1847</em><br /> "James Willyams Grylls has embodied his spirited sketches of tropical sports and amusements in a little volume, with the old title of The Out-Station; or, Jaunts in the Jungle." - <em>The New Monthly Magazine (1848)</em></strong></p> <p>Whether he is a progenitor of the modern day wilderness adventurer "Bear" Grylls is unknown, but the harrowing hunting adventures of William James Grylls while stationed in the jungles of Ceylon during the 1840s likely far surpass those of the modern-day TV survivalist.</p> <p>Carrying a double-barrelled gun, his Malay follower armed with another, more for the sake of protection than aggression, Grylls trekked into the mountainous wild jungles of Ceylon where he would face off with elephants, long-clawed moon bears, water buffalo, and wild boars. These harrowing incidents make for exciting reading in his 1847 book "The Out-station, Or Jaunts in the Jungle."</p> <p>In describing one terrifying elephant hunt gone wrong, Grylls writes that:</p> <p>"Away rattled the whole herd with the exception of one, which rushed straight at the captain of the frigate, and, seizing him in its trunk, made off round the plain! It was the work of a moment; and had any one attempted to fire, the chances were greater in favour of his killing the man than the elephant. All looked on in dismay and horror, as they saw the old elephant pull up in its course every now and then, and seemingly attempt to crush its victim by kneeling on him; then holding him up in mid-air again, it would apparently exult in its conquest...."</p> <p>He also recounts his face off with what he referred to as the "wild man of the jungle" which he described as living "principally on wild honey and raw deer-flesh, " commenting that "whether it really is a human being, or not, is with many an open question to the present time." When he suddenly came upon a party of these "wild men of the jungle," he describes the panic that ensued:</p> <p>"Some began to jabber and screech, others to bury their faces in the grass, whilst one or two stared stupidly at us, thinking, no doubt, that their hour was come, and possibly the arch-enemy also to square accounts with them."</p> <p>In describing a run-in with a bear in the heavy jungle, Grylls writes:</p> <p>"What should I see standing directly in my way home, but a huge brute of a bear! half as big as an elephant, and black as the devil himself! Before I had time to run, or to plan any mode of attack, he was upon me! I had no weapon of any kind near me except my fists, so I was obliged to grapple him by the snout with one hand, and punch him in the ribs with the other...."</p> <p>While in Ceylon, Grylls would also engage in the lucrative pursuit of pearls, which he describes as " a very amusing part of the business it constituted, being a complete lottery, as one might purchase five pounds' worth of oysters without being recompensed by a single pearl, whilst the private soldier investing his penny or twopence in the purchase of half a dozen, might find a prize valuable enough to purchase his discharge, and keep him in clover for the remainder of his existence."</p> <p>In the end, the jungle would gain the upper hand over Grylls, as he found himself eventually being "carried over the waves in one of the native catamarans in the direction of home, with as respectable a specimen of a jungle-fever on me as one might be contented with for the remainder of his life; and after having undergone three months' suspension between two worlds, my ghost was at length allowed to revisit the mess-room of the regiment."</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。 132円
