 Narrative of a Journey to the Summit of Mont Blanc Adventures on Mont Blanc: A Mountaineer's Journey Into the Alpine Heights【電子書籍】[ William Howard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Narrative of a Journey to the Summit of Mont Blanc," William Howard crafts an evocative account of his ascent, merging the aesthetics of Romantic literature with rigorous observation. The text not only chronicles the physical challenges of mountaineering but also delves into the profound emotional and philosophical reflections that arise in the face of nature's grandeur. Howard's literary style is marked by lush descriptions and introspective musings, characteristic of the early 19th-century fascination with the sublime, allowing readers to experience both the majesty and terror of the mountain. His prose invites contemplation on humanity's place within the vast, indifferent landscape, immersing the audience in the quintessential clash between man and nature. William Howard, a man profoundly influenced by the ideals of Romanticism and the nascent field of alpinism, embarked on this journey not only for adventure but also as a deeper quest for self-understanding. His writings reflect a keen awareness of the interconnectedness between the individual and the natural world, shaped by the prevailing intellectual currents of his time, including the reverence for nature and the exploration of human emotion. This captivating narrative is highly recommended for readers who appreciate explorations of personal journey juxtaposed with nature'??s raw power. Howard'??s work serves as an essential text for those interested in mountaineering literature and the Romantic tradition, offering both thrilling adventure and profound reflection on the human experience.＜/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 |
 Appalachia on Our Mind The Southern Mountains and Mountaineers in the American Consciousness, 1870-1920【電子書籍】[ Henry D. Shapiro ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Appalachia on Our Mind＜/em＞ is not a history of Appalachia. It is rather a history of the American idea of Appalachia. The author argues that the emergence of this idea has little to do with the realities of mountain life but was the result of a need to reconcile the “otherness” of Appalachia, as decribed by local-color writers, tourists, and home missionaries, with assumptions about the nature of America and American civilization.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Between 1870 and 1900, it became clear that the existence of the “strange land and peculiar people” of the southern mountains challenged dominant notions about the basic homogeneity of the American people and the progress of the United States toward achiving a uniform national civilization. Some people attempted to explain Appalachian otherness as normal and natural ー no exception to the rule of progress. Others attempted the practical integration of Appalachia into America through philanthropic work. In the twentieth century, however, still other people began questioning their assumptions about the characteristics of American civilization itself, ultimately defining Appalachia as a region in a nation of regions and the mountaineers as a people in a nation of peoples.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his skillful examination of the “invention” of the idea of Appalachia and its impact on American thought and action during the early twentieth century, Mr. Shapiro analyzes the following: the “discovery” of Appalachia as a field for fiction by the local-color writers and as a field for benevolent work by the home missionaries of the northern Protestant churches; the emergence of the “problem” of Appalachia and attempts to solve it through explanation and social action; the articulation of a regionalist definition of Appalachia and the establishment of instituions that reinforced that definition; the impact of that regionalistic definition of Appalachia on the conduct of systematic benevolence, expecially in the context of the debate over child-labor restriction and the transformation of philanthropy into community work; and the attempt to discover the bases for an indigenous mountain culture in handicrafts, folksong, and folkdance.＜/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。 | 4,111円 |

 Mountaineer Jamboree Country Music in West Virginia【電子書籍】[ Ivan M. Tribe ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Jamboree! To many country music fans the word conjures up memories of Saturday nights around the family radio listening to live broadcasts from that haven of hillbilly music, West Virginia. From 1926 through the 1950s, as Ivan Tribe shows in his lively history, country music radio programming made the Mountain State a mecca for country singers and instrumentalists from all over America.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper, Little Jimmy Dickens, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Red Sovine, Blaine Smith, Curly Ray Cline, Grandpa Jones, Cowboy Loye, Rex and Eleanor Parker, Lee Moore, Buddy Starcher, Doc and Chickie Williams, and Molly O'Day were among the many who came to prominence via West Virginia radio.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wheeling's "WWVA jamboree," first broadcast in 1933, attracted a wide audience, especially after 1942, when the station increased its power. The show's success spawned numerous competitors, as new stations all over West Virginia followed WWVA's lead in headlining country music.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The state also played an important role in the early recording industry. The Tweedy Brothers, Frank Hutchison, Roy Harvey, Blind Alfred Reed, Frank Welling and John McGhee, Cap and Andy, and the Kessinger Brothers were among West Virginians whose waxings contributed to the state's reputation for fine native musicianship. So too did those who sought out and recorded the Mountaineer folksong heritage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Nashville's dominance has grown since the 1960s, West Virginia's leadership in country music has lessened. Young performers must now seek fame outside their native state. But, as Ivan Tribe demonstrates, the state's numerous outdoor festivals continue to keep alive the heritage of country music's "mountain mama."＜/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。 | 1,670円 |
 The Ascent of John Tyndall Victorian Scientist, Mountaineer, and Public Intellectual【電子書籍】[ Roland Jackson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Rising from a humble background in rural southern Ireland, John Tyndall became one of the foremost physicists, communicators of science, and polemicists in mid-Victorian Britain. In science, he is known for his important work in meteorology, climate science, magnetism, acoustics, and bacteriology. His discoveries include the physical basis of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere (the basis of the greenhouse effect), and establishing why the sky is blue. But he was also a leading communicator of science, drawing great crowds to his lectures at the Royal Institution, while also playing an active role in the Royal Society. Tyndall moved in the highest social and intellectual circles. A friend of Tennyson and Carlyle, as well as Michael Faraday and Thomas Huxley, Tyndall was one of the most visible advocates of a scientific world view as tensions grew between developing scientific knowledge and theology. He was an active and often controversial commentator, through letters, essays, speeches, and debates, on the scientific, political, and social issues of the day, with strongly stated views on Ireland, religion, race, and the role of women. Widely read in America, his lecture tour there in 1872-73 was a great success. Roland Jackson paints a picture of an individual at the heart of Victorian science and society. He also describes Tyndall's importance as a pioneering mountaineer in what has become known as the Golden Age of Alpinism. Among other feats, Tyndall was the first to traverse the Matterhorn. He presents Tyndall as a complex personality, full of contrasts, with his intense sense of duty, his deep love of poetry, his generosity to friends and his combativeness, his persistent ill-health alongside great physical stamina driving him to his mountaineering feats. Drawing on Tyndall's letters and journals for this first major biography of Tyndall since 1945, Jackson explores the legacy of a man who aroused strong opinions, strong loyalties, and strong enmities throughout his 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。 | 2,603円 |
 The Rival Trappers, or, Old Pegs, The Mountaineer【電子書籍】[ Albert W. Aiken ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Excerpt: "Hush! Is that a footstep coming up the canon? It came nearer and nearer, and a man of strange appearance suddenly stepped into view, rounding a bend in the canon. At the first glance it seemed that he was a dwarf in stature, but as he advanced, it was plainly to be seen that this was a mistake, for those broad shoulders and herculean arms never belonged to a dwarf. In hight he would scarcely have reached five feet, but his girth of shoulder and hip was something wonderful. In short, he had the body of a giant, set upon a pair of legs so crooked and misshapen that it seemed as if he had borrowed those limbs from some one 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。 | 218円 |
 The Rival Trappers: Old Pegs, The Mountaineer【電子書籍】[ Albert W. Aiken ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Hush! Is that a footstep coming up the canon? It came nearer and nearer, and a man of strange appearance suddenly stepped into view, rounding a bend in the canon. At the first glance it seemed that he was a dwarf in stature, but as he advanced, it was plainly to be seen that this was a mistake, for those broad shoulders and herculean arms never belonged to a dwarf. In hight he would scarcely have reached five feet, but his girth of shoulder and hip was something wonderful. In short, he had the body of a giant, set upon a pair of legs so crooked and misshapen that it seemed as if he had borrowed those limbs from some one else. He came on with a peculiar, sidelong, hitching gait, swinging out his left leg and throwing forward the shoulder upon that side in an irresistibly ludicrous way, but getting over the ground at a very fair pace. His dress was that of the mountainman, of greasy buck-skin, yet showing the careful hand of woman in the manner in which it was made. He wore fringed leggins, moccasins of ponderous size, and a high bear-skin cap, which added considerably to his ludicrous “make-up.” His weapons were a carefully-polished rifle, a pair of splendid revolvers, a knife and a hatchet. His face was broad, ruddy and good-natured, fringed by a russet-brown hair and beard, slightly sprinkled with gray. A single look at the high forehead, merry brown eyes and smiling mouth, about which a whimsical look would linger in spite of himself, showed that he was a merry, reckless soul, but a man of undaunted courage. “Hyar we come and hyar we go, pegging along the canon,” he half-sung. “Thar was some mistake in my make-up, I reckon, or I’d be a different man. But who keers, ez long ez I am happy ez a buck Digger in grasshopper time? Oh, Lordy, yes.” He stopped and cast a penetrating glance about him, at the same time dropping one leg a little, showing that it was shorter than the other by some two inches. He seemed to listen, and his leonine head was thrown to one side in an attitude of profound attention. The next moment, by a movement of wonderful rapidity, he threw himself out of sight into one of the crevices with which the ravine abounded, and dropping to the earth behind a bowlder, awaited the event. To the casual observer there had been no break in the usual sounds in mountain and forest, but a moment more showed that the wanderer was not at fault, for the sound of hoofs could be plainly heard, coming up from the east. Nearer and nearer they came, and the rapidity of the hoof-beats showed that the horseman, whoever he might be, was coming at the top of his speed; and directly the head of a horse appeared, and a single rider came thundering down the pass, half-lying on the animal’s back, and urging him on with knife and spur, while behind him sounded other hoof-beats, showing that he was pursued.＜/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。 | 640円 |

 David Crockett: Scout / Small Boy, Pilgrim, Mountaineer, Soldier, Bear-Hunter and / Congressman; Defender of the Alamo【電子書籍】[ Charles Fletcher Allen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Small Boy, Pilgrim, Mountaineer, Soldier, Bear-Hunter and＜br /＞ Congressman; Defender of the Alamo＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chronicles the life of the pioneer hero, from his childhood on the Tennessee frontier, through his career as a three-term congressman, to his death at the Alamo in Texas.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story of David Crockett stands apart from all others in our historyーa nebulous collection of traditions about a great array of facts. To the unnumbered thousands to whom his name is familiar he is often as unreal as the hero of a medi?val romance or of Scandinavian mythology. This book will follow his history with close attention to dates, and without recognition of the impossible legends of many writers. To accomplish this has required much reading and research, much weighing of evidence, and the help of others. The portrait of David Crockett, now for the first time published, is after the original in the Alamo, painted by the famous artist Chapman while Crockett was a Congressman. It is a picture that reveals the secret of his success in winning friends and fame.＜/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。 | 732円 |

Surrounded by a wild landscape that sparks imagination, fellow passengers recount train travels in other countries, get nostalgic for the era of steam locomotives, and consider life’s unfinished journeys.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peppered with spirited dialogue, heartrending vignettes, and intriguing anecdotes, ＜em＞Train Beyond the Mountains＜/em＞ is a travelogue with urgency: to make your travel dreams happen ＜em＞now＜/em＞.

 Upon that Mountain The first autobiography of the legendary mountaineer Eric Shipton【電子書籍】[ Eric Shipton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Upon that Mountain is the first autobiography of the mountaineer and explorer Eric Shipton. In it, he describes all his pre-war climbing, including his Everest bids of the 1930s, and his second Karakoram survey in 1939, when he returned to Snow Lake to complete the mapping of the ranges flanking the Hispar and Choktoi glacier systems around the Ogre. Crossing great swathes of the Himalaya, the book, like so many of Shipton's works, is both entertaining and an important addition to the mountain literature genre. It captures an important period in mountaineering history - that just before the Second World War - an ends on an elegiac note as Shipton describes his last evening at the starkly-beautiful snow lake, before he returns to a 'civilisation' about to embark on a cataclysmic war.＜/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。 | 484円 |
 Lure of the Mountains The life of Bentley Beetham, 1924 Everest Expedition Mountaineer【電子書籍】[ Michael D. Lowes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Lure of the Mountains is the first published biography of accomplished photographer, ornithologist, teacher and 1924 Everest expedition member Bentley Beetham (1886-1963). Written by the late Michael D. Lowes, a pupil of Beetham's at Barnard Castle School in County Durham, and with a foreword by Graham Ratcliffe MBE, the first Briton to have summited Everest from both the North and South sides, and also a pupil of Barnard Castle School. Lure of the Mountains charts Beetham's life from childhood in Darlington, to rock climbing in the Lake District, to his selection by the Mount Everest Committee as a member of the infamous and ill-fated 1924 Everest Expedition on which George Mallory and Sandy Irvine disappeared high on the mountain. Many of Beetham's images, including those made on the 1924 expedition, were for over 25 years curated by Michael Lowes and are reproduced in this book with the kind permission of the Bentley Beetham Trust and Durham University. His images of Tibet are 'an important historical record of Tibetan culture and a way of life that in modern times has rapidly begun to disappear'. Beetham was a highly skilled rock climber and a pioneer of new routes in the Borrowdale Valley, where he established such notable climbs as Little Chamonix on Shepherd's Crag, and Corvus on Raven Crag. The author, like many other pupils Beetham inspired, was introduced to climbing by his teacher in the Lake District on club trips, and over the years he became a valuable source of information and expert on Beetham's life and work.＜/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。 | 760円 |

 Norman Clyde Legendary Mountaineer of California's Sierra Nevada【電子書籍】[ Robert C. Pavlik ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This riveting account of one of the most notable personalities of the mountain climbing world reconstructs the life of legendary mountaineer Norman Clyde (1885-1972). He made his mark on history with more than one hundred and thirty first ascents throughout western North America, and many believe he knew the High Sierra better than anyone else, including John Muir. Part of his mystique comes from participating in high-profile mountain rescues and recoveries, in which he is credited with saving a number of lives. Those who had the good fortune to meet him often with a ninety-pound pack on his back that included an anvil for boot repair, fishing rods, cooking pots, and books in Greek and Latin never forgot the experience. Biographer Robert C. Pavlik uses Clyde’s own words, along with recollections from his family, friends, fellow climbers, and acquaintances, to capture the experiences of a remarkable man and a bygone time between the pioneers and the rock climbers.”＜/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。 | 1,800円 |
 The Evidence of Things Not Seen A Mountaineer's Tale【電子書籍】[ W.H. Murray ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Evidence of Things Not Seen＜/strong＞＜/em＞ is the autobiography of remarkable mountaineer, writer and environmentalist ＜strong＞W.H. Murray.＜/strong＞ After being introduced to climbing in his early twenties, Murray's relationship with the outdoors was shaped as much by his time on the mountains as away from them. His early Scottish climbs were brought to a halt by the Second World War, which saw him spend three years as a Nazi prisoner of war. These years were devoted to not only to philosophical study, but also to writing his classic ＜em＞＜strong＞Mountaineering in Scotland＜/strong＞＜/em＞ not once, but twice, on toilet paper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The time to write about mountains only fuelled Murray's enthusiasm to climb them. The regeneration in mountaineering that followed the war saw Murray complete three Himalayan expeditions, alongside other iconic figures such as Doug Scott, Tom MacKinnon and Tom Weir, and Eric Shipton. He not only explored Himalayan peaks never before attempted by westerners, but also established the crucial Khumbu Icefall route up Everest, which paved the way for the mountain's first ascent in 1953.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Later life saw Murray return to Scotland and begin the fight to conserve the wild places that motivated him. From pioneering the John Muir Trust to fighting threats to forestry, Murray's writing is laced with a philosophical edge and a contagious appreciation for Scotland's wild places, capturing the essence of why Murray's work has been inspiring readers for decades.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written just before his death in 1996, and with a foreword by renowned Scottish mountaineer Hamish MacInnes, ＜em＞＜strong＞The Evidence of Things Not Seen＜/strong＞＜/em＞ is a must-read for anyone for which the mountains are still a source of wonder.＜/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。 | 760円 |

Anderson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Harold William 'Bill' Tilman＜/strong＞ (1898 ?1977) was among the greatest adventurers of his time, a pioneering mountaineer and sailor who held exploration above all else.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The son of a Liverpool sugar importer, Tilman joined the army at seventeen and was twice awarded the ＜strong＞Military Cross＜/strong＞ for bravery during WWI. After the war Tilman left for Africa, establishing himself as a coffee grower. He met ＜strong＞Eric Shipton＜/strong＞ and they began their famed mountaineering partnership, traversing ＜strong＞Mount Kenya＜/strong＞ and climbing ＜strong＞Kilimanjaro＜/strong＞. Turning to the ＜strong＞Himalaya＜/strong＞, Tilman went on two ＜strong＞Mount Everest＜/strong＞ expeditions, reaching 27,000 feet without oxygen in 1938. In 1936 he made the first ascent of ＜strong＞Nanda Devi＜/strong＞, the highest mountain climbed until 1950. He was the first European to climb in the remote ＜strong＞Assam Himalaya＜/strong＞, delved into Afghanistan's ＜strong＞Wakhan Corridor＜/strong＞ and explored extensively in Nepal, all the while developing a mountaineering style characterised by its simplicity and emphasis on exploration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was perhaps logical that Tilman would eventually buy the pilot cutter ＜em＞Mischief＜/em＞, not with the intention of retiring from travelling, but to access remote mountains. For twenty-two years he sailed ＜em＞Mischief＜/em＞ and her successors in search of themーto ＜strong＞Patagonia＜/strong＞, where he made the first easterly crossing of the ice cap, to ＜strong＞Baffin Island＜/strong＞ to make the first ascent of ＜strong＞Mount Raleigh＜/strong＞, to ＜strong＞Greenland＜/strong＞, ＜strong＞Spitsbergen＜/strong＞, and islands in the far Southern Ocean, before disappearing in the South Atlantic in 1977.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞J.R.L.

 The Naked Mountaineer Misadventures of an Alpine Traveler【電子書籍】[ Steve Sieberson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞The Naked Mountaineer＜/em＞ recounts a series of solo journeys to some of the world’s most exotic peaks in places such as Switzerland, Japan, and Borneo. However, it is far from the typical heroic mountain-expedition book. Although Steve Sieberson did reach many summits, in most cases his travels were more memorable for what he encountered along the way than for the actual climbing. His real adventures involved peculiar people, strange foods, and tropical diseases, rather than pitons, ice axes, and carabiners. On the Matterhorn he met an English alpinist who reveled in naked selfies, he stumbled into a cockfight in a Balinese village, and on a volcano in Italy he was mistaken for a famous singer by an insistent fan.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Naked Mountaineer＜/em＞ offers mountain-themed travel stories with a wide-eyed view of the world, while presenting irreverent commentary on climbers and their peculiar sport. These are rollicking tales, filled with the unexpected.＜/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。 | 2,573円 |

 The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth: Mountaineer, Scout, and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians (Illustrated)【電子書籍】[ James P. Beckwourth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞James Pierson Beckwourth (1798 or 1800 ? 1866 or 1867), born James Beckwith and generally known as, Jim Beckwourth was an American mountain man, fur trader, and explorer. A mulatto born into slavery in Virginia, he was freed by his father (and master) and apprenticed to a blacksmith; later he moved to the American West. As a fur trapper, he lived with the Crow Nation for years. He is credited with the discovery of Beckwourth Pass, through the Sierra Nevada (U.S.) Mountains, between present-day Reno, Nevada, and Portola, California, during the California Gold Rush years, and improved the Beckwourth Trail, which thousands of settlers followed to central California.＜br /＞ He narrated his life story to Thomas D. Bonner, an itinerant justice of the peace. The book was published in New York and London in 1856 as The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth: Mountaineer, Scout and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians. A translation was published in France in 1860.＜br /＞ Early historians of the Old West originally considered the book little more than campfire lore. It has since, been reassessed as a valuable source of social history, especially, for life among the Crow, although, not all its details are reliable or accurate. The civil rights movement of the 1960s celebrated Beckwourth as an early African-American pioneer. He has since, been featured as a role model in children's literature and textbooks.＜/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。 | 145円 |
 The New Mountaineer in Late Victorian Britain Materiality, Modernity, and the Haptic Sublime【電子書籍】[ Alan McNee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book is about the rise of a new ethos in British mountaineering during the late nineteenth century. It traces how British attitudes to mountains were transformed by developments both within the new sport of mountaineering and in the wider fin-de-si?cle culture. The emergence of the new genre of mountaineering literature, which helped to create a self-conscious community of climbers with broadly shared values, coincided with a range of cultural and scientific trends that also influenced the direction of mountaineering. The author discusses the growing preoccupation with the physical basis of aesthetic sensations, and with physicality and materiality in general; the new interest in the physiology of effort and fatigue; and the characteristically Victorian drive to enumerate, codify, and classify. Examining a wide range of texts, from memoirs and climbing club journals to hotel visitors’ books, he argues that the figure known as the ‘New Mountaineer’ was seen to embody a distinctly modern approach to mountain climbing and mountain aesthetics.＜/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。 | 10,938円 |
 Moonwalker Adventures of a midnight mountaineer【電子書籍】[ Alan Rowan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Moonwalker is a unique story, the memoir of a man whose love of Scotland's mountains would override his body-clock and all conventional notions of health and safety. When Alan Rowan finished his shifts as a sub-editor at a national newspaper at midnight, he knew he was too jacked up on deadline adrenaline to attempt sleep. At the same time, he was starting to worry if he would ever complete his ambition to reach the summit of every Munro in Scotland those peaks of over 3000ft. One crazy night, he decided upon a single solution to both problems. He would begin his ascents in the middle of the night, see the sun rise above the clouds and then come down the mountain just as everyone else was going up. We see Alan's transformation from desk jockey to midnight mountaineer, meet dodgy car salesmen, rabid sheepdogs, charging deer, superstitious Germans and crooked confectioners - all the while seeing the best of Scotland in a unique light. Moonwalker is funny and touching; at once a deeply personal memoir and a riotous travelogue.＜/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。 | 1,384円 |

Trott, Md, Rescue Doctor and Mountaineer【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Campbell Corff ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is a book about the making of a hero - a rescuer.
