楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A <em>New York Times</em> Notable Book</strong></p> <p><strong><em>The Professor and the Madman</em> is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionaryーand literary history.</strong></p> <p>The making of the OED was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, was stunned to discover that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand. But their surprise would pale in comparison to what they were about to discover when the committee insisted on honoring him. For Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.</p> <p>Masterfully researched and eloquently written, <em>The Professor and the Madman</em> “is the linguistic detective story of the decade.” (William Safire, <em>New York Times</em> Magazine)</p> <p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and 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。

Land How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World【電子書籍】[ Simon Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>From the bestselling author Simon Winchester, a human history of land around the world: who mapped it, owned it, stole it, cared for it, fought for it and gave it back.</strong></p> <p>In 1889, thousands of hopeful people raced southward from the Kansas state line and westward from the Arkansas boundary to stake claims on the thousands of acres of unclaimed pastures and meadows. Across the twentieth century, water was dammed and drained in Holland so that a new province, Flevoland, rose up, unchartered and requiring new thinking. In 1850, California legislated the theft of land from Native Americans. An apology came in 2019 from the governor, but what of the call for reparations or return? What of government confiscation of land in India, or questions of fairness when it comes to New Zealand’s Maori population and the legacy of settlers?</p> <p>The ownership of land has always been complicated, opaque, and more than a little anarchic when viewed from the outside. In this book, Simon Winchester explores the the stewardship of land, the ways it is delineated and changes hands, the great disputes, and the questions of restoration ? particularly in the light of climate change and colonialist reparation.</p> <p>A global study, this is an exquisite exploration of what the <em>ownership</em> of land might really mean ? not in dry-as-dust legal terms, but for the people who live on 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。

The Fourth Battle of Winchester Toward a New Civil War Paradigm【電子書籍】[ McMurry ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>“Counterfactual questions, if kept within the parameters of what was possible at the time and place, can often help us better understand events of the past. In so doing, they can sometimes bring about a ‘paradigm shift’ーa new way of thinking about history and hence of grasping its meaning... While the events described in the opening sections are fanciful, the underlying points, I believe are valid. The counterfactual events, I hope, can help us see the points with greater clarity.”ー<em>From the Preface</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。

Knowing What We Know The Transmission of Knowledge: From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Magic【電子書籍】[ Simon Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>‘A delightful compendium of the kind of facts you immediately want to share with anyone you encounter’ <em>New York Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>‘An ebullient, irrepressible spirit invests this book. It is erudite and sprightly’<em>Sunday Times</em></strong></p> <p>From the creation of the first encyclopedia to Wikipedia, from ancient museums to modern kindergarten classesーhere is award-winning writer Simon Winchester’s brilliant and all-encompassing look at how humans acquire, retain, and pass on information and data, and how technology continues to change our lives and our minds.</p> <p>With the advent of the internet, any topic we want to know about is instantly available with the touch of a smartphone button. With so much knowledge at our fingertips, what is there left for our brains to do? At a time when we seem to be stripping all value from the idea of knowing things ? no need for maths, no need for map reading, no need for memorisation ? are we risking our ability to think? As we empty our minds, will we one day be incapable of thoughtfulness?</p> <p>Addressing these questions, Simon Winchester explores how humans have attained, stored and disseminated knowledge. Examining such disciplines as education, journalism, encyclopedia creation, museum curation, photography and broadcasting, he looks at a whole range of knowledge diffusion ? from the cuneiform writings of Babylon to the machine-made genius of artificial intelligence, by way of Gutenberg, Google and Wikipedia to the huge Victorian assemblage of the Mundaneum, the collection of everything ever known, currently stored in a damp basement in northern Belgium.</p> <p>Studded with strange and fascinating details, <em>Knowing What We Know</em> is a deep dive into learning and the human mind. Throughout this fascinating tour, Winchester forces us to ponder what rational humans are becoming. What good is all this knowledge if it leads to lack of thought? What is information without wisdom? Does Ren? Descartes’ ‘<em>Cogito, ergo sum</em>’ー'I think, therefore I am’, the foundation for human knowledge widely accepted since the Enlightenmentーstill hold?</p> <p>And what will the world be like if no one in it is wise?</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。

A Crack in the Edge of the World The Great American Earthquake of 1906【電子書籍】[ Simon Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A burgeoning new city is built on the dreams of the American gold rush. It is also built upon a landscape that has been stretching, sliding and breaking apart for millennia. In 1906 the dreams of this city came crashing down beneath the rippling wave of a horrifying earthquake that turned roads into great rippling rivers, that set buildings ablaze for days on end, that made homes collapse upon themselves. Simon Winchester's breathtaking story delves deep beneath the surface of the earth and explains to us why the world moves as it does; and breaks apart with such devastating results. At the same time he never lets us forget the human story: what happened in this new, seemingly blessed city on the 18th April 1906. As he vividly portrays the lives of the people who suffered and survived the devastation he also tells a universal story: the hubris of man as he ignores the warnings of nature and how we respond and try to understand the world around us. Compelling, moving and enlightening, Simon Winchester brings to light the world beneath our feet and through the story of this one terrifying event one hundred years ago, begins to make sense of our world now.</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。

The End of the River【電子書籍】[ Simon Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When it comes to climate-change-inspired threats, it is rising sea levels we hear most about. But if the oceans are, as Herman Melville put it, “the tide-beating heart of the earth,” rivers are its circulatory system. In the United States, there is no river more storied, symbolic, and vital than the Mississippi, and none, to use Mark Twain’s word, more lawless. The struggle to control it has been going on nearly as long as there has been human civilization on its banks, and the attendant drama and dangers have been memorialized by many writers, among them Twain and, in his seminal 1987 <em>New Yorker</em> account, John McPhee. Now Simon Winchester, the consummate, critically acclaimed storyteller and bestselling author of <em>Atlantic</em> and <em>The Professor and the Madman</em>, turns his eye to what could well be the height of the battle, one increasingly doomed by man’s interference.</p> <p>The most fateful instance of this interference was accomplished by an inventor and steamboat captain, Henry Miller Shreve, in the nineteenth century. In vivid detail, Winchester re-creates the smashing and digging and the great man- and steam power that Shreve wielded to clear the river of snags and logjams and, in order to shorten the passage to New Orleans, carve an entirely new channel for it. What no one foresaw was that his celebrated shortcut, Shreve’s Cut, would form a sloping chute to an adjacent river, the Atchafalaya, and, aided by gravity and shifting weather patterns, increasingly tempt the waters of the Mississippi in its direction. Resisting this trend with ever more ingenious methods (and ever more expense) began just after, first with a system of levees, then with added spillways, and, finally, with the conception and construction of a floodgate system, the Old River Control Structure, still in place today. And the stakes are high: Ifーmany say <em>when</em>ーthe Atchafalaya captures the Mississippi’s stream, it will be the end of life as it’s currently known in the American South. The great cities of LouisianaーNew Orleans and Baton Rougeーwould be rendered fetid swamps; entire sections of the American infrastructure, from pipelines to electricity and water supply, would collapse. Homes would be displaced and livelihoods, if not lives, would be lost.</p> <p>Deftly combining the hydrological and the historical, Winchester tours the challenges that upped the ante on the Mississippi River Commission’s duty to protect the watershed and its inhabitants: the upheavals that came in the form of the Great Flood of 1927, one of the most destructive natural disasters of all time, displacing more people than almost any event in American history, and the record-breaking inundations of 1937 and 1973. He pays tribute to the Army Corps of Engineers, for their Herculean efforts to keep the river on its current track, and to one civilian, Albert Einstein’s son Hans Albert Einstein, a hydraulic engineer and one of the main architects of the mighty control structure that continues to divide the Mississippi from the Atchafalaya. But how long can it hold in a time when extremes of weather are the norm, when storms come faster and more furiously, sending sediment-loaded water pounding against the floodgatesーevents that not only pit man against nature but, given that we cannot always agree which causes and correctives to pursue, man against man?</p> <p>In this elegant synthesis of past and present, the exigencies of the natural world and the human, Winchester offers an engrossing cautionary tale that readers cannot afford to ignore. It is a call to arms that asks whether accepting defeatーletting nature take its courseーmay be the only way to win.</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。

The Adventures of Daisy Duck and Woodstock【電子書籍】[ Vanessa Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This is a true-to-life story about how two very different birds (and a cat), brought up together, were very much part of our family. It describes how these creatures interacted and communicated with us and each other, and how they joined in with family activities in extraordinary ways. It shows how prescient they can be (how did the ducks know in advance that their sister was returning after two days lost, so that they could meet her at the gate? How did Cat know he mustn't eat our bird when every day he caught wild birds in the garden?). Recently, scientists studying animal behaviour have been describing animal language and behaviour in greater detail than previously. This story shows how creatures, allowed to live their lives as they wish, can choose to stay within a human environment and join in.</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。

The Winchester Powerhouse【電子書籍】[ Anthony Paice ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Presenting portraits of the Winchester bishops down to the Norman Conquest, <em>The Winchester Power-House</em> is the first volume of a study covering the lives of some one hundred holders of the high ecclesiastical office. Characterised overwhelmingly by benevolence, the pre-Conquest prelates were at the forefront of the reconversion of southern Britain to Christianity.</p> <p>Beyond their spiritual role, however, they also helped to make Winchester ? rather than London or Canterbury ? the powerhouse of the expanding kingdom of Wessex and eventually of all England; they helped ensure that it remained the most prized and prestigious diocese in England down to the Reformation.</p> <p>As key counsellors to the Wessex kings, as reformers, even warriors on occasion, these men exerted a strong influence on the introduction of successive Saxon legal codes and judicial process. Indeed, during the development of an embryonic royal chancery in the early 11th century, the bishop was invariably the choice for chancellor, the king’s chief minister. It is no accident that the last bishop, Stigand, was both bishop of Winchester and archbishop of Canterbury.</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。

The Winchester Legend of the West【電子書籍】[ Laura Trevelyan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Winchester Rifle, the iconic gun made in New Haven, Connecticut, and sold in its hundreds of thousands around the world, mirrors American expansion at a key period in the young country's history. The lethal repeating rifle became the defining image of America's frontier - and was known amongst Native Americans as "the spirit gun". It represented both the pioneering vigour and the brutal force which conquered the West. Laura Trevelyan explores the history of, and the family behind, this renowned representation of American power. The entrepreneurial drive of Oliver Winchester led the rifle to rapidly assume legendary status not long after its release in 1866, gaining endorsements from the likes of Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley and President Teddy Roosevelt. This engaging history sheds light on the story and myth of an American legend.</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。

<p><strong>“Simon Winchester never disappoints, and <em>The Men Who United the States</em> is a lively and surprising account of how this sprawling piece of geography became a nation. This is America from the ground up. Inspiring and engaging.” ーTom Brokaw</strong></p> <p><strong>Simon Winchester, acclaimed <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Atlantic</em> and <em>The Professor and the Madman</em>, delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings.</strong></p> <p>How did America become “one nation, indivisible”? What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America’s most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark and the leaders of the Great Surveys; the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Rochester to San Francisco, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today’s United States.</p> <p>Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. Featuring 32 illustrations throughout the text, <em>The Men Who United the States</em> is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.</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。

Shelley: The Resort Shelley, #2【電子書籍】[ JC Winchester ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Book 3 of the Shelley series.</p> <p>Life is full of new experiences and new opportunities, we only need to shelve our fears to earn the chance to enjoy them.</p> <p>Shelley is wrapping up from her semester and looking forwards to having time to herself and with Matt. For her that means getting back into the group that held the cruise and checking in with the local chapter. She finds they've started the process of building a private getaway for the members and are looking for volunteers to help lay the groundwork during a weekend camping trip.</p> <p>One of the biggest things about the group that Shelley is learning to grasp is all of the identities that people have for gender, relationships, and sexuality. Sure she'd had an inkling about some of them, but there were many more than she'd ever come to appreciate. The group exposed her to the variety of people and piqued her curiosity, reminding her of the relatively few experiences she'd ever had in love and sex.</p> <p>How to go about these experiences and would Matt be willing to let her have them? Or will he be upset that she's pushing too far too fast? Has she pushed enough with getting him to explore his own sexuality, of which he still has yet to fully embrace her.</p> <p>Shelley: The Resort is a book about exploring one's own self and learning to put aside social standards in order to become more comfortable with ourselves. It is one person's explorations about her own sexuality and relationship to learn what sex means to her and how it plays a role in the many relationship she'll have, be they love or otherwise.</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。

The Last Battle of Winchester Phil Sheridan, Jubal Early, and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, August 7?September 19, 1864【電子書籍】[ Scott C. Patchan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"Unique insight, good storytelling skills, deep research, and keen appreciation for the terrain . . . one outstanding work of history." ーEric J. Wittenberg, award-winning author of <em>Gettysburg's Forgotten Cavalry Actions</em></strong></p> <p>The Third Battle of Winchester in September 1864 was the largest, longest, and bloodiest battle fought in the Shenandoah Valley. What began about daylight did not end until dusk, when the victorious Union army routed the Confederates. It was the first time Stonewall Jackson's former corps had ever been driven from a battlefield, and their defeat set the stage for the final climax of the Valley Campaign. This book represents the first serious study to chronicle the battle.</p> <p>The Northern victory was a long time coming. After a spring and summer of Union defeat in the Valley, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant cobbled together a formidable force under Phil Sheridan, an equally redoubtable commander. Sheridan's task was a tall one: sweep Jubal Early's Confederate army out of the bountiful Shenandoah, and reduce the verdant region of its supplies. The aggressive Early had led the veterans of Jackson's Army of the Valley District to one victory after another at Lynchburg, Monocacy, Snickers Gap, and Kernstown.</p> <p>Five weeks of complex maneuvering and sporadic combat followed before the opposing armies met at Winchester, an important town that had changed hands dozens of times over the previous three years. Tactical brilliance and ineptitude were on display throughout the daylong affair as Sheridan threw infantry and cavalry against the thinning Confederate ranks and Early and his generals shifted to meet each assault. A final blow against Early's left flank finally collapsed the Southern army, killed one of the Confederacy's finest combat generals, and planted the seeds of the victory at Cedar Creek the following month.</p> <p>This vivid accountーbased on more than two decades of meticulous research and an unparalleled understanding of the battlefield, and rich is analysis and character developmentーis complemented with numerous original maps and explanatory footnotes that enhance our understanding of this watershed battle.</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。
