 False Summit Gender in Mountaineering Nonfiction【電子書籍】[ Julie Rak ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The race to climb Everest catapulted mountain climbing, with its accompanying images of conquest and sport, into the public sphere on a global scale. But as a metaphor for the pinnacle of human achievement, mountaineering remains the preserve of traditional white male heroism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞False Summit＜/em＞ unpacks gender politics in the expedition narratives and memoirs of mountaineers in the Himalayas and the Karakoram. Why are women still a minority in the world's highest places? Julie Rak proposes that the genre has itself reached a "false summit" ? a peak that proves not to be the pinnacle ? and that mountaineering is not ready to welcome other ways of climbing or other kinds of climbers. For more than two centuries mountaineering, as an activity and as an ideal, has helped shape how the self is understood within the context of conquest, adventure, and proximity to risk. As climbing shows signs of becoming more diverse, Rak asks why change is so hard to achieve and why gender bias and other inequities exist in climbing at all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Exploring classic and lesser-known expedition accounts from Everest, K2, and Annapurna, ＜em＞False Summit＜/em＞ helps us understand why mountaineering remains one of the most important ways to articulate gender identities and 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。 | 3,782円 |

 Early Days in the Range of Light Encounters with Legendary Mountaineers【電子書籍】[ Daniel Arnold ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞“A splendid chronicle of early climbing in the Sierra Nevada.” ーRoyal Robbins＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It’s 1873. Gore?Tex shells and aluminum climbing gear are a century away, but the high mountains still call to those with a spirit of adventure. Imagine the stone in your hands and thousands of feet of open air below you, with only a wool jacket to weather a storm and no rope to catch a fall.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Daniel Arnold did more than imagineーhe spent three years retracing the steps of his climbing forefathers, and in ＜em＞Early Days in the Range of Light＜/em＞, he tells their riveting stories. From 1864 to 1931, the Sierra Nevada witnessed some of the most audacious climbing of all time. In the spirit of his predecessors, Arnold carried only rudimentary equipment: no ropes, no harness, no specialized climbing shoes. Sometimes he left his backpack and sleeping bag behind as well, and, like John Muir, traveled for days with only a few pounds of food rolled into a sack slung over his shoulder. In an artful blend of history, biography, nature, and adventure writing, Arnold brings to life the journeys and the terrain traveled. In the process he uncovers the motivations that drove an extraordinary group of individuals to risk so much for airy summits and close contact with bare stone and snow.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Ever wish you could travel back to climbing’s early days and follow the earliest first?ascent visionaries? This fantasy comes to life . . . in this elegant narrative.” ー＜em＞Climbing Magazine＜/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。 | 3,094円 |
 The Northern Approach Epic Tales of Himalayan Exploration and Mountaineering Challenges【電子書籍】[ George Herbert Leigh Mallory ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Northern Approach," George Herbert Leigh Mallory weaves an evocative narrative that juxtaposes the allure of exploration with the stark realities of human ambition and the natural environment. Written in a lyrical, reflective style marked by vivid imagery and introspective passages, the book delves into the psychological landscape of climbers preparing to conquer the formidable peaks of the northern regions. Engaging with themes of adventure, mortality, and the sublime, Mallory places his own experiences in the context of early 20th-century mountaineering'??a time when the limits of human endurance were being tested against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. Mallory, an esteemed mountaineer and one of the first to gain notoriety for his attempts to scale Mount Everest, drew deeply from his own experiences in crafting this narrative. His profound connection with nature and the mountains stems from both personal passion and a professional ethos stemming from the broader cultural obsession with exploration during his era. This book emerges not only as a reflection on physical challenges but also as a metaphysical inquiry into what drives humanity to these extremes. For those intrigued by the intersection of adventure and existential reflection, "The Northern Approach" stands as a compelling read. It invites readers to engage with the spirit of exploration while contemplating the deeper motivations behind such endeavors. An essential addition for enthusiasts of mountaineering literature and those fascinated by the complexities of human ambition and nature.＜/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。 | 310円 |
 Peak Pursuits The Emergence of Mountaineering in the Nineteenth Century【電子書籍】[ Caroline Schaumann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An interdisciplinary cultural history of exploration and mountaineering in the nineteenth century＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞European forays to mountain summits began in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the search for plants and minerals and the study of geology and glaciers. Yet scientists were soon captivated by the enterprise of climbing itself, enthralled with the views and the prospect of “conquering” alpine summits. Inspired by Romantic notions of nature, early mountaineers idealized their endeavors as sublime experiences, all the while deliberately measuring what they saw. As increased leisure time and advances in infrastructure and equipment opened up once formidable mountain regions to those seeking adventure and sport, new models of masculinity emerged that were fraught with tensions. This book examines how written and artistic depictions of nineteenth-century exploration and mountaineering in the Andes, the Alps, and the Sierra Nevada shaped cultural understandings of nature and wilderness in the Anthropocene.＜/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。 | 5,159円 |
 The Young Mountaineers: Short Stories Tales of Appalachian Resilience and Connection【電子書籍】[ Mary Noailles Murfree ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Mary Noailles Murfree's "The Young Mountaineers: Short Stories" invites readers into the rugged, untamed world of the Appalachian Mountains, showcasing the lives of its vibrant inhabitants. Through masterful prose and rich imagery, Murfree captures the beauty and brutality of the mountain landscape while weaving tales that reflect themes of youth, adventure, and resilience. The collection is steeped in regional dialects and local color, showcasing the unique cultural tapestry of Appalachia during the late 19th century, a period marked by both romanticism and realism in American literature. Murfree, often regarded as one of the first female writers to depict Southern Appalachia, drew from her own childhood experiences in the region. Her upbringing amid the lush hills and tight-knit communities fostered a deep appreciation for local folklore, nature, and the complexities of mountain life. This personal connection is evident in her evocative storytelling, which not only entertains but also preserves the vanishing customs and landscapes of her home. Readers seeking a rich exploration of character and place will find "The Young Mountaineers" an essential addition to their literary collections. Murfree's ability to balance narrative depth with regional authenticity makes this work both an enlightening and pleasurable read. It is an invitation to understand the spirit of Appalachia through the eyes of its young dreamers.＜/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。 | 150円 |
 The World Beneath Their Feet Mountaineering, Madness, and the Deadly Race to Summit the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Scott Ellsworth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Best History/Biography＜/p＞ ＜p＞A saga of survival, technological innovation, and breathtaking human physical achievement -- all set against the backdrop of a world headed toward war -- that became one of the most compelling international dramas of the 20th century.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞As tension steadily rose between European powers in the 1930s, a different kind of battle was already raging across the Himalayas. Teams of mountaineers from Great Britain, Nazi Germany, and the United States were all competing to be the first to climb the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest and K2. Unlike climbers today, they had few photographs or maps, no properly working oxygen systems, and they wore leather boots and cotton parkas. Amazingly, and against all odds, they soon went farther and higher than anyone could have imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And as they did, their story caught the world's attention. The climbers were mobbed at train stations, and were featured in movies and plays. James Hilton created the mythical land of Shangri-La in ＜em＞Lost Horizon＜/em＞, while an English eccentric named Maurice Wilson set out for Tibet in order to climb Mount Everest alone. And in the darkened corridors of the Third Reich, officials soon discovered the propaganda value of planting a Nazi flag on top of the world's highest mountains＜/p＞ ＜p＞Set in London, New York, Germany, and in India, China, and Tibet, ＜em＞The World Beneath Their Feet＜/em＞ is a story not only of climbing and mountain climbers, but also of passion and ambition, courage and folly, tradition and innovation, tragedy and triumph. Scott Ellsworth tells a rollicking, real-life adventure story that moves seamlessly from the streets of Manhattan to the footlights of the West End, deadly avalanches on Nanga Parbat, rioting in the Kashmir, and the wild mountain dreams of a New Zealand beekeeper named Edmund Hillary and a young Sherpa runaway called Tenzing Norgay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Climbing the Himalayas was the Greatest Generation's moonshot-one that was clouded by the onset of war and then, incredibly, fully accomplished. A gritty, fascinating history that promises to enrapture fans of Hampton Sides, Erik Larson, Jon Krakauer, and Laura Hillenbrand, ＜em＞The World Beneath Their Feet＜/em＞ brings this forgotten story back to 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。 | 2,064円 |
 Above the Snow Line: Mountaineering Sketches Between 1870 and 1880 Exploring the Victorian Era of Mountaineering【電子書籍】[ C. T. Dent ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Above the Snow Line: Mountaineering Sketches Between 1870 and 1880," C. T. Dent crafts a compelling collection of personal narratives that encapsulate the exhilarating yet perilous experiences of late 19th-century mountaineers. Written in a meticulous yet vivid prose style, Dent's work not only captures the physical challenges of high-altitude adventures but also delves into the aesthetic and philosophical dimensions of nature during a time of burgeoning exploration. The sketches reflect a Romantic sensibility, blending ornate descriptions with introspective musings, while situating the reader within the roaring challenges posed by the untamed alpine environment. C. T. Dent, an avid mountaineer and adventurer, drew from his own extensive experiences in the mountains to create this volume. His background in both literature and natural history provided him with the unique lens through which to observe and document the evolving relationship between humans and the sublime landscapes they sought to conquer. Dent'??s insightful observations and reflections are informed by the era'??s shifting attitudes towards exploration and nature, highlighting both the thrill of adventure and the risks involved. For those intrigued by the intersection of adventure, nature, and literary expression, Dent's book is a treasure trove of historical and cultural significance. It not only serves as a memoir of a bygone era but also invites readers to contemplate their own relationship with the mountains, urging a reverence for nature that resonates timelessly. I highly recommend this volume to anyone passionate about mountaineering, history, or the enduring allure of the natural 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。 | 460円 |
 Mountaineering and British Romanticism The Literary Cultures of Climbing, 1770-1836【電子書籍】[ Simon Bainbridge ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book examines the relationship between Romantic-period writing and the activity that Samuel Taylor Coleridge christened 'mountaineering' in 1802. It argues that mountaineering developed as a pursuit in Britain during the Romantic era, earlier than is generally recognised, and shows how writers including William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Ann Radcliffe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Walter Scott were central to the activity's evolution. It explores how the desire for physical ascent shaped Romantic-period literary culture and investigates how the figure of the mountaineer became crucial to creative identities and literary outputs. Illustrated with 25 images from the period, the book shows how mountaineering in Britain had its origins in scientific research, antiquarian travel, and the search for the picturesque and the sublime. It considers how writers engaged with mountaineering's power dynamics and investigates issues including the politics of the summit view (what Wordsworth terms 'visual sovereignty'), the relationships between different types of 'mountaineers', and the role of women in the developing cultures of ascent. Placing the work of canonical writers alongside a wide range of other types of mountaineering literature, this book reassesses key Romantic-period terms and ideas, such as vision, insight, elevation, revelation, transcendence, and the sublime. It opens up new ways of understanding the relationship between Romantic-period writers and the world that they experienced through their feet and hands, as well as their eyes, as they moved through the challenging landscapes of the British mountains.＜/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。 | 12,607円 |
 Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada Exploring the Untamed Beauty of the Sierra Nevada【電子書籍】[ Clarence King ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada," Clarence King provides a captivating account of the breathtaking mountain landscapes and the treacherous climbs of California's Sierra Nevada range. Written in the late 19th century, the book blends rich descriptive prose with detailed observations of nature, showcasing King's adeptness at both scientific inquiry and romantic storytelling. King'??s narrative captures not only the physical challenges of mountain climbing but also the philosophical reflections these experiences evoke, situating his work within the broader context of American exploration and the burgeoning field of environmental studies. His deft combination of adventure writing and scientific documentation establishes this work as both a personal memoir and an important historical record. Clarence King, a prominent geologist and the first director of the U.S. Geological Survey, was deeply influenced by his extensive scientific training and his passion for the great outdoors. His experiences surveying the Sierra Nevada, coupled with his romantic sensibilities, inspired him to share the majesty of the region in a manner that would bridge popular and scientific literature. King's diverse background nurtured a unique perspective that enriches this narrative, elevating it beyond mere adventure to a profound exploration of nature's sublime beauty. "Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada" is not only a delightful read for outdoor enthusiasts and mountaineering aficionados but also essential for anyone interested in the interplay between nature and human experience. King's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling invite readers to experience the Sierra Nevada as he once did, urging them to appreciate the delicate balance between adventure and reflection. This book stands as a testament to both the allure of the mountains and the human spirit's quest for understanding.＜/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。 | 150円 |
 Life and Death on Mt. Everest Sherpas and Himalayan Mountaineering【電子書籍】[ Sherry B. Ortner ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Sherpas were dead, two more victims of an attempt to scale Mt. Everest. Members of a French climbing expedition, sensitive perhaps about leaving the bodies where they could not be recovered, rolled them off a steep mountain face. One body, however, crashed to a stop near Sherpas on a separate expedition far below. They stared at the frozen corpse, stunned. They said nothing, but an American climber observing the scene interpreted their thoughts: Nobody would throw the body of a white climber off Mt. Everest.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For more than a century, climbers from around the world have journ-eyed to test themselves on Everest's treacherous slopes, enlisting the expert aid of the Sherpas who live in the area. Drawing on years of field research in the Himalayas, renowned anthropologist Sherry Ortner presents a compelling account of the evolving relationship between the mountaineers and the Sherpas, a relationship of mutual dependence and cultural conflict played out in an environment of mortal risk.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ortner explores this relationship partly through gripping accounts of expeditions--often in the climbers' own words--ranging from nineteenth-century forays by the British through the historic ascent of Hillary and Tenzing to the disasters described in Jon Krakauer's ＜em＞Into Thin Air.＜/em＞ She reveals the climbers, or "sahibs," to use the Sherpas' phrase, as countercultural romantics, seeking to transcend the vulgarity and materialism of modernity through the rigor and beauty of mountaineering. She shows how climbers' behavior toward the Sherpas has ranged from kindness to cruelty, from cultural sensitivity to derision. Ortner traces the political and economic factors that led the Sherpas to join expeditions and examines the impact of climbing on their traditional culture, religion, and identity. She examines Sherpas' attitude toward death, the implications of the shared masculinity of Sherpas and sahibs, and the relationship between Sherpas and the increasing number of women climbers. Ortner also tackles debates about whether the Sherpas have been "spoiled" by mountaineering and whether climbing itself has been spoiled by commercialism.＜/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。 | 6,062円 |
 Mountaineers Are Always Free Heritage, Dissent, and a West Virginia Icon【電子書籍】[ Rosemary V. Hathaway ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The West Virginia University Mountaineer is not just a mascot: it is a symbol of West Virginia history and identity embraced throughout the state. In this deeply informed but accessible study, folklorist Rosemary Hathaway explores the figure’s early history as a backwoods trickster, its deployment in emerging mass media, and finally its long and sometimes conflicted careerーbeginning officially in 1937ーas the symbol of West Virginia University.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alternately a rabble-rouser and a romantic embodiment of the state’s history, the Mountaineer has been subject to ongoing reinterpretation while consistently conveying the value of independence. Hathaway’s account draws on multiple sources, including archival research, personal history, and interviews with former students who have portrayed the mascot, to explore the complex forces and tensions animating the Mountaineer figure. Often serving as a focus for white, masculinist, and Appalachian identities in particular, the Mountaineer that emerges from this study is something distinct from the hillbilly. Frontiersman and rebel both, the Mountaineer figure traditionally and energetically resists attempts (even those by the university) to tame or contain 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。 | 3,352円 |

 Winter is Coming: Ensuring U.S. Special Forces (USSF) are Prepared to Fight and Win in a Cold Weather Environment - Mountaineering and High Altitude Skills, Focus on Russia, China, and North Korea【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This late 2018 report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. For the past 17 years, United States Special Forces (USSF) has been decisively engaged in the Global War on Terror. Due to the deployment cycle and training requirements focused on deployments in the Middle East, many valuable skillsets, including the ability to fight, maneuver, and survive in extreme cold weather environments has atrophied across the force. In a majority of USSF units, extreme cold weather training is synonymous with high altitude and mountaineering training. Some teams and units do specialize in this type of terrain and train to a high level in technical mountaineering tasks, but too often the focus is on technical mountaineering skills and not how to survive and sustain operations in extreme cold weather environments. The recent 2018 National Defense Strategy, the multi-domain battle concept, and actions taken by peer and near-peer adversaries, all call for a shift in focus from the Middle East to adversaries such as Russia, China, and North Korea. Conflict with any of these adversaries will likely include some aspect of cold weather warfare. This research effort will define an adequate cold weather capability for USSF, and make recommendations to reach that capability.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I.

Antarctic Methodology * B. Cold Weather Framework * C. Measuring Capability * D. Recommendations to Build Capability * VI. Conclusion * A. Command Emphasis Must be Placed on Cold Weather Readiness * B. Leadership in Cold Weather Warfare * C. Recommendations for Future Study＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Multi-Domain Battle (MDB) concept is an approach for the U.S. to counter peer and near-peer adversaries in the 2025-2040 timeframe. The MDB concept calls for small, scalable, self-sustained units, to operate autonomously in hostile or denied environments against a peer or near-peer adversary. High-end war with North Korea, Russia, or China would certainly involve fighting in the cold, and as such, units need to be prepared to operate in that environment. While no unit would truly be able to "self-sustain" in an extreme cold environment, any amount of training that will improve survivability and lethality will benefit those units within the joint force required to operate in extreme conditions. Under the MDB concept, units must be capable operating in any operational environment.＜/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。 | 742円 |
 Queen of the Mountaineers The Trailblazing Life of Fanny Bullock Workman【電子書籍】[ Cathryn J. Prince ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Fanny Bullock Workman was a complicated and restless woman who defied the rigid Victorian morals she found as restrictive as a corset. With her frizzy brown hair tucked under a helmet, Workman was a force on and off the mountain. Instrumental in breaking the British stranglehold on Himalayan mountain climbing, this American woman climbed more peaks than any of her peers and became the first woman to map the far reaches of the Himalayas and the second to address the Royal Geographic Society of London, whose past members included Charles Darwin, Richard Francis Burton, and David Livingstone. Her booksーreplete with photographs, illustrations, and descriptions of meteorological conditions, glaciology, and the effect of high altitudes on humansーremained useful decades after their publication. Paving the way for a legion of female climbers, Workman's legacy lives on in scholarship prizes at Wellesley, Smith, Radcliffe, and Bryn Mawr.＜br /＞ Author and journalist Cathryn J. Prince brings Fanny Bullock Workman to life, revealing how she navigated the male-dominated world of alpine clubs and adventure societies as nimbly as she navigated the deep crevasses and icy granite walls of the Himalayas. ＜em＞Queen of the Mountaineers＜/em＞ is the story of one woman's role in science and exploration, breaking boundaries and charting frontiers for women everywhere.＜/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。 | 2,168円 |
 Chasing Denali The Sourdoughs, Cheechakos, and Frauds behind the Most Unbelievable Feat in Mountaineering【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Waterman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The history of mountaineering began on Denali with the legendary story of four gold miners (called “Sourdoughs” because they carried sourdough starter with them at all times) who claimed to have summited after climbing more than 8,000 feet of steep snow and ice, then back down againーall in a single and incredibly dangerous day in 1910. Lugging a 25-pound, 14-foot flagpole to mark their success, they took on North America’s highest peak using sheet metal crampons, coal shovels, hatchets, and alpenstocks to balance their way up the mountain. Was the expedition a success or a hoax?

The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read ＜em＞Angels and Demons＜/em＞ by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window?＜/p＞ ＜p＞But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on?

Brueckner ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞High atop a mountain, Keith Brueckner grappled with fear at the sight of an immense wall of steep ice and snow, a looming overhang, and the descending grey of storm high on a face.

 Appalachian Daughter The Exodus of the Mountaineers from Appalachia【電子書籍】[ Helen Ayers ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Appalachian Daughter-35987＜/p＞ ＜p＞Not since the Dust Bowl days of the 30's have so many residents of one area of our great country migrated to another in search of a better way of life. The sturdy ancestors of this group had followed Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap a century or more before and were ready to follow their leaders to a new life elsewhere.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Appalachian Daughter was written to chronicle the exodus of a number of leading families from the Pine and Black Mountain areas of Eastern Kentucky. Collectively, these mountains are known simply as the "Cumberlands" andform a section of the Appalachian Mountain Range.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After the Second World War, the area was so poverty stricken many of the mountaineers left their homes for fertile Southern Indiana farms or went on to cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati in search of factory jobs. Coal mining was the only job available in Eastern Kentucky. When the mine operators refused to budge on employee welfare or safety issues, the leaders decided to abandon the only profession they knew and start their lives anew in other places.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This story tells of one of those families who migrated and their struggles for acceptance. It attempts to show the impact of this migration on Indiana and other states. It also shows the dismal prospects of those left behind, prospects that would require fifty years to mend. The area would not heal untilit had produced, reared and educated new leaders to take the place of those who left.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This story is about my family. I hope you enjoy reading of our exploits.＜/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。 | 468円 |
 Adventure tourism in Azerbaijan and the role of mountaineering in its development【電子書籍】[ Azad Bayramov ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Tourism, grade: 7.0, Dublin Institute of Technology (Dublin Institute of Technology), course: Tourism Management, language: English, abstract: The present research focused on exploring the concept of mountaineering as adventure tourism, analysing the development of mountaineering in Azerbaijan, determining the main challenges to the development of mountaineering as adventure tourism in Azerbaijan, and defining the role of mountaineering in developing adventure tourism. Over recent years, due to the increasing popularity of mountain-based tourism, the role of mountaineering has increased in importance. The mountains have for centuries served as a principal attraction, enticing tourists to visit particular vacation destinations. Mountains continue to be one of the core features of adventure tourism. Mountains cover one-fifth of the earth's land surface and continue to market themselves, in a way, as destinations with a clean environment, a variety of flora and fauna, and beautiful nature. The case study location chosen for this research was Azerbaijan, a country near the Great Caucasus Range and Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan is a country primarily covered by mountains that have a high potential for adventure tourism.＜/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。 | 4,884円 |

 Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada【電子書籍】[ Clarence King ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Mountaineers will realize, from these descriptions of Sierra climbs, how few dangers we encountered which might not have been avoided by time and caution. Since the uncertain perils of glacier work and snow copings do not exist in California, except on the northeast flank of Mount Shasta, our climbs proved safe and easy in comparison with the more serious Alpine ascents. And now that the topography of the higher Sierra has been all explored by the Geological Survey, nearly every peak is found to have an accessible side. Our difficulties and our joys were those of the pioneer. My own share in the great work of exploring the Sierra under Professor Whitney has been small indeed beside that of the senior assistants of the Survey, Professors Brewer and Hoffmann. Theirs were the long, hard years of patient labor, theirs the real conquest of a great terra incognita; and if in these chapters I have not borne repeated witness to their skill and courage, it is not because I have failed in warm appreciation, but simply because my own{x} mountaineering has always been held by me as of slight value, and not likely to be weighed against their long-continued service. There are turning-points in all men's lives which must give them both pause and retrospect. In long Sierra journeys the mountaineer looks forward eagerly, gladly, till pass or ridge-crest is gained, and then, turning with a fonder interest, surveys the scene of his march; letting the eye wander over each crag and valley, every blue hollow of pine-land or sunlit gem of alpine meadow; discerning perchance some gentle reminder of himself in yon thin blue curl of smoke floating dimly upward from the smouldering embers of his last camp-fire. With a lingering look he starts forward, and the closing pass-gate with its granite walls shuts away the retrospect, yet the delightful picture forever after hangs on the gallery wall of his memory.＜/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。 | 200円 |
