The Inner Bird Anatomy and Evolution【電子書籍】[ Gary W. Kaiser ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Birds are among the most successful vertebrates on Earth. An important part of our natural environment and deeply embedded in our culture, birds are studied by more professional ornithologists and enjoyed by more amateur enthusiasts than ever before. However, both amateurs and professionals typically focus on birds’ behaviour and appearance and only superficially understand the characteristics that make birds so unique.</p> <p><em>The Inner Bird</em> introduces readers to the avian skeleton, then moves beyond anatomy to discuss the relationships between birds and dinosaurs and other early ancestors. Gary Kaiser examines the challenges scientists face in understanding avian evolution - even recent advances in biomolecular genetics have failed to provide a clear evolutionary story. Using examples from recently discovered fossils of birds and near-birds, Kaiser describes an avian history based on the gradual abandonment of dinosaur-like characteristics, and the related acquisition of avian characteristics such as sophisticated flight techniques and the production of large eggs. Such developments have enabled modern birds to invade the oceans and to exploit habitats that excluded dinosaurs for millions of years.</p> <p>While ornithology is a complex discipline that draws on many fields, it is nevertheless burdened with obsolete assumptions and archaic terminology. <em>The Inner Bird</em> offers modern interpretations for some of those ideas and links them to more current research. It should help anyone interested in birds to bridge the gap between long-dead fossils and the challenges faced by living species.</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。 5,632円

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings【電子書籍】[ Maya Angelou ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em> captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.</p> <p>Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her ageーand has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.</p> <p>Poetic and powerful, <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em> will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read.</p> <p><strong>“<em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em> liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”ーJames Baldwin</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。 1,243円

Eating Wild Japan Tracking the Culture of Foraged Foods, with a Guide to Plants and Recipes【電子書籍】[ Winifred Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<ul> <li>A <strong>diverse market</strong> with four categories of possible readers:</li> </ul> <ol> <li><strong>foraging enthusiasts</strong> living outside of Japan (and maybe a few inside Japan) who want to know how other cultures use and relate to wild edible plants</li> <li><strong>people who love Japanese food</strong> and want to discover something new about an otherwise well-known cuisine</li> <li><strong>people traveling to Japan</strong> (especially rural Japan) who want a more in-depth understanding of what they are eating</li> <li>general <strong>Japanophiles</strong> hungry for any new angle on Japan</li> </ol> <ul> <li>Packed with practical information, with <strong>30 recipes and 25 botanical-glossary entries</strong></li> <li>It has <strong>40 beautiful hand-drawn illustrations</strong></li> <li><strong>A unique approach</strong>: No other English-language books (no cookbooks, field guides, or non-fiction books) that we are aware of cover Japan’s edible wild plants with the depth and breadth of this book (or actually, at all). Journalistically researched yet written in a more <strong>personal voice</strong>, which sets it apart from a number of Japan-foodie-travel books on the market written from a less personal perspective.</li> <li><strong>Rooted in a deep personal interest of the author:</strong> "I have an unusual background combining extensive knowledge of Japan’s natural environment, rural culture, and cuisine gained through years spent living in the Japanese countryside and working as an environmental journalist. For me this was a very personal projects bringing together four of my passions in life: <strong>plants, food, rural culture, and Japan</strong>."</li> <li>It draws on <strong>three years of research</strong> in many remote corners of Japan.</li> <li>Plants reveal <strong>aspects of Japan’s culture and history</strong> that will be of interest to readers who are not especially interested in botany or foraging. This is a book about <strong>how people live</strong> and have historically lived outside Japan’s urban centers.</li> <li>In the author's words: "The idea for this book hit me as I was lying in bed in the middle of the night. I got up and essentially wrote down the outline for it right then and there. <strong>The inspiration came from an 85-year old neighbor I had when I lived in Nagano Prefecture</strong> who was also a writer and plant lover. She collected sansai every spring and introduced me to some of my favorite wild plants..</li> </ul> <p><strong>Statistics</strong></p> <ul> <li>In 2018 Japan saw 31 million visitors from abroad, a 3 million increase from the previous year. This trend is not only expected to continue, but to surge to <strong>40 million in light of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics</strong>.</li> <li><strong>Interest in wild food has steady increased</strong> over the past decadeー2017 saw a sizeable increase in the Google search popularity of “wild food” with a peak in June of 2019.</li> <li>According to <em>Food and Wine</em>, people are becoming concerned about sustainability and food waste. <strong>Foraging and wild edibles present an alternative.</strong> Local and regional cuisines are still in vogue. These trends go hand-in-hand with the emergence of foraging food tours, such as ForageSF.</li> <li>The popularity of wild foods and foraging is further reflected in <strong>successful YouTube food and lifestyle channels around foraging</strong> even in niche subcategories: Coastal Foraging with Craigs Evans, 68k subscribers; Outdoor Chef Life, 218k subscribers. <a href="www.youtube.com/channel/UCpBQMibpipuqHsI_mJMVveA">www.youtube.com/channel/UCpBQMibpipuqHsI_mJMVveA</a><a href="www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqpN335uVY9Sx_ZK_WuOAA">www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqpN335uVY9Sx_ZK_WuOAA</a></li> <li>You can find similar success in print media such as the blogger and writer <strong>Hank Shaw who has won multiple awards for his writing on hunting and foraging</strong>. He also sports some 17,000 followers on Twitter and 54,000 on Instagram. <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Shaw_%28author%29">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Shaw_(author)</a><a href="honest-food.net/about/">honest-food.net/about/</a></li> </ul>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。 1,320円

Blue Bird【電子書籍】[ Elizaveta Limanova ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This short story is to help people who suffer from insomnia. It is based on scientific research that focuses on the effects of colored light on the human body.<br /> My idea for the story first emerged when I was taking a psychology elective at Columbia University. I was studying full time at Pratt Institute where I tried to connect the theory of emotions with different properties of colors that we studied. In other words, I was trying to piece together different ideas that fit together, but not with the purpose of making any scientific claims of my own. Although my fantastical story is inspired by scientific theories I did not write it with the intention of connecting different scientific theories, because the two theories are each independent and not connected together in any way, the first dealing with emotions and the latter dealing with effects of colored light on melatonin.<br /> The plot of the short story is fantastical but it can be interpreted in a realistic way. When a little girl can't sleep, her brother suffers from it. Together the siblings discover mysterious phenomena; metaphors for real-world problems.</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 Bird【電子書籍】[ Jules Michelet ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Bird," Jules Michelet embarks on a lyrical exploration of avian life that transcends mere natural observation, immersing readers in the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Written in the mid-19th century, the book reflects the Romantic literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and an emotional connection to the subject matter. Michelet employs an almost poetic prose, weaving together scientific observations with philosophical musings, ultimately revealing his reverence for birds as symbols of freedom and inspiration amidst the industrial age's encroachments on nature. The work stands as a testament to the burgeoning interest in biology and environment during the Enlightenment period, positioning birds as integral elements of the ecosystem worthy of admiration and protection. Jules Michelet (1798-1874), a prominent French historian and naturalist, is often noted for his passionate engagement with the natural world and its historical context. His background in history, combined with his fascination for nature, led him to reconcile the scientific and the spiritual in his writing. This duality is evident in "The Bird," where his admiration for the natural world is steeped in a historical narrative that reveals both human and avian evolution, reflecting the interconnectedness of all living things. For readers seeking a unique blend of nature writing and historical insight, "The Bird" offers a captivating journey into the world of birds, encouraging a deeper appreciation of their role in our lives and the environment. Michelet's evocative prose invites both ornithologists and casual readers alike to reflect on the beauty of nature and the urgency of its preservation. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, nature, and history.</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

Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War (Illustrated) The Causes of the War; A Bird's-Eye View of the War; The Turn at the Marne; The Western Front; Behind the Lines; Victory【電子書籍】[ John Buchan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "It is never easy to fix upon one cause as the origin of a great war, and the war of 1914 was the outcome of several causes combined. For twenty years there had been growing up in Europe a sense of insecurity; the great Powers had become restless and suspicious of one another . . ." (Excerpt) The British Army during World War I fought the largest and most costly war in its long history. Unlike the French and German Armies, its units were made up exclusively of volunteersーas opposed to conscriptsーat the beginning of the conflict. Furthermore, the British Army was considerably smaller than its French and German counterparts. Yet the army showed exemplary valour and courage on the battlefield. Buchan and Newbolt bring their expert analysis into their overview of the Great War and the reasons for it. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. With the outbreak of the First World War, Buchan worked as a correspondent in France for The Times. Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862?1938) was an English poet, novelist and historian. He also had a very powerful role as a government adviser. He is perhaps best remembered for his poems "Vita? Lampada" and "Drake's Drum".</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。 300円

As one of the first female travelers to document her experiences extensively, her works often reflect her pioneering attitude and the societal constraints of her time. Bird's travels to Japan in 1878 can be attributed to her desire to escape the confines of Victorian domesticity and embrace a life filled with adventure and exploration, which deeply informs the authenticity and depth of her narratives. "Unbeaten Tracks in Japan" is a captivating read for anyone interested in travel literature, Japanese culture, or the experiences of women in the 19th century. Bird's unique perspective and eloquent prose invite readers to traverse the paths less traveled, offering an illuminating glimpse into a world that is simultaneously familiar and alien.</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。 300円

Cat and Bird A Memoir【電子書籍】[ Kyoko Mori ]

<p><strong>A "sweet, touching" memoir about animals, loss, and finding a home in the world by the author of <em>Shizuko's Daughter</em> and <em>Yarn</em> ( <em>Kirkus Reviews</em>).</strong></p> <p><em>Cat and Bird</em>, a "memoir in animals," is anchored around Kyoko Mori's relationship with the six house cats who defined the major eras of her life as a writer: Dorian, Oscar, Ernest, Algernon, Miles, and Jackson. As she details the rhythms and routines of their days together, she weaves a narrative tapestry out of her past: the deep family tragedy and resilience that marked her childhood in Japan, her move to the American Midwest as a young adult, her experiences as a bird rehabilitator and cat trainer, her marriage and divorce, and the joys and profound heartbreaks that come with pet ownership. Full of razor-sharp observations and generous prose, <em>Cat and Bird</em> whirls into a moving meditation about grief, writing, the imagination, the solitary life, and the wonders of companionship with creatures both domestic and wild.</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。 1,440円

Unbeaten Tracks in Japan【電子書籍】[ Isabella L. Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Unbeaten Tracks in Japan" is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past.</p> <p>This classic travel book details Isabella Bird's 1878 trip, where she set out alone to explore the interior of Japan - a rarity not only because of Bird's sex but because the country was virtually unknown to Westerners. The Japan she describes is not the sentimental world of <em>Madame Butterfly</em> but a vibrant land of real people with a complex culture and hardscrabble lives.</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
