Derby County: Champions of England 1971-72 & 1974-75【電子書籍】[ Edward Giles ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This gripping tale begins and ends with Brian Clough, by common consent the greatest manager Derby County ever had - and the most controversial. Centred on the Rams two League championship seasons of 1971-72 and 1974-75, it revives memories of one of the most momentous periods in the clubs long history - from 1967, when Clough and Taylor swept in from the North-East outpost of Hartlepool, to the 1983-84 season that ended with descent back to the old Third Division after Taylors ill-fated return from brief retirement. Triumph turned to turmoil as the outspoken Cloughs stormy departure provoked a players rebellion, and again when Dave Mackay, whose inspiring captaincy had been at the heart of the Rams meteroric rise from years of obscurity, was ousted from the managers chair so soon after claiming that second title and going close to a League and Cup double. Readers are taken on a roller-coaster ride from the heights of the First Division and European glory, coupled with memorable nights in domestic cup competitions, to the depths of a financial crisis that almost drove the club out of existence. As managers and chairmen were changed with bewildering rapidity, so the team of some of the games most glittering stars, assembled with the breaking of several transfer records, disintegrated in the nosedive of two relegations. And to cap it all came the signing that caused the irreparable break-up of the friendship between Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.</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。 1,000円

Against Apion Defending Jewish Culture: A Pivotal Work in Ancient Literature【電子書籍】[ Josephus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Against Apion," the ancient historian Flavius Josephus presents a vigorous defense of Judaism against the criticisms of the Greek historian Apion. Written in the context of first-century Roman society, Josephus employs a blend of rhetorical brilliance and historical detail to counter anti-Semitic narratives, asserting the antiquity and values of Jewish traditions. The text stands as a testament to Josephus's literary style, characterized by its erudition and polemic fervor, as he weaves together history, philosophy, and appeals to cultural pride, all while seeking to elevate the Jewish legacy in the face of Hellenistic skepticism. Flavius Josephus, born into a priestly family and well-versed in both Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, sought to bridge the divide between these worlds. His unique position as a Jewish general who later became a Roman citizen profoundly shaped his writings. Josephus's motivations in crafting "Against Apion" stem from his experiences of conflict, his pursuit of reconciliation, and his desire to preserve Jewish identity amidst increasing external pressures during and after the Jewish-Roman Wars. Readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the historical dialogue between Judaism and Hellenism will find "Against Apion" invaluable. This work not only serves as a crucial historical artifact but also as a rich source of insight into the Jewish experience in a period of turbulence, making it essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history alike.</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

Reflections on Tsuda Umeko: Pioneer of Women's Education in Japan【電子書籍】[ OBA Minako ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Japan’s five-thousand yen banknote will have a new face as of 2024, and that face is Tsuda Umeko (1864ー1929), who devoted her life to the education of Japanese women. Umeko founded one of Japan’s first schools of higher education for womenーa school that later became Tsuda College. Half a century after her death, an old trunk in the college attic was found to contain hundreds of personal letters written by Umeko to her foster mother in America, Adeline Lanman.</p> <p>Umeko had been sent to America as a young child to learn English and the ways of Western civilization. She returned to Japan at eighteen, completely Americanized and a stranger in her own country. The “attic letters” are a fascinating chronicle of her repatriation to late-19th century Japan, and of her encounters with iconic figures such as Japan’s first prime minister Ito Hirobumi.</p> <p>This book shows how the passionate young girl metamorphosed into one of Japan’s foremost educators, by following the thoughts of Umeko herself as she recorded them in her letters. The story is told by oba Minako, a writer who graduated from Tsuda College and was herself a returnee to Japan after a decade in the United States.</p> <p>Tsuda Umeko was awarded the 42nd Yomiuri Prize for Literature (1990).</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。 1,925円

Rosa Valentin ??l'espion?? ( Edition int?grale ) annot?【電子書籍】[ Henry Cauvain ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Extrait: Par une belle soir?e du mois d’avril 1870, Rosa Valentin ?tait assise dans le jardin de son p?re, l’excellent syndic de Coursolles. Elle avait un livre sur ses genoux et montrait ? lire ? un petit gar?on debout pr?s d’elle.<br /> Le soleil couchant jetait ses rayons rouge?tres sur les fleurs fra?chement arros?es et faisait luire, comme autant d’?tincelles, les gouttelettes suspendues ? leurs p?tales.<br /> Rosa ?tait v?tue fort modestement d’une robe de laine noire qui, malgr? sa simplicit?, faisait ressortir la forme ravissante de ses ?paules et les contours d?licatement arrondis de son sein. Il y avait en elle quelque chose qui ?blouissait. C’?tait un resplendissement de jeunesse et de beaut?.<br /> L’enfant, debout pr?s d’elle, formait avec cette adorable fille un singulier contraste. II ?tait petit et mince ; ses joues p?les, ses ?pais cheveux noirs group?s en d?sordre autour de son front, le pli qui marquait ses l?vres, donnaient ? son visage une expression vieillotte qui n’?tait point celle des enfants de son ?ge. Il e?t peut-?tre sembl? laid, si l’?clat de deux yeux noirs pleins de feu n’?tait venu parfois, ?clairer, comme le reflet d’une flamme int?rieure, sa figure fatigu?e.<br /> Cet enfant ?tait Julien Brunet. Son p?re, un fabricant d’horloges, ?tait mort deux ans auparavant. En voulant passer la Riole un soir d’hiver, il ?tait tomb? dans un trou et s’?tait noy?.<br /> Un malheur est bient?t suivi d’un autre. Le petit Julien fut pris peu de temps apr?s d’une Sevr? grave et resta plusieurs mois entre la vie et la mort. Ren? Brunet, le fils a?n? de la malheureuse veuve, qui ?tait, comme son p?re un excellent ouvrier, travailla ferme pour subvenir aux frais de cette longue maladie. Gr?ce ? lui, Julien ne manqua de rien et fut enfin gu?ri.<br /> Mais la maladie, qui avait laiss? sur son visage des traces si profondes, avait longtemps ?loign? l’enfant de l’?cole. Il s’effor?ait maintenant de regagner le temps perdu et ?tonnait le bon M. Roger, l’instituteur de Coursolles, par l’ardeur fi?vreuse qu’il mettait ? son travail et par la rapidit? de ses progr?s. Il est vrai que l’enfant avait rencontr? dans Rosa un utile auxiliaire. Tous les jours, il venait la trouver, et, plongeant son regard un peu farouche dans les yeux purs de la jeune fille, il restait longtemps r?veur, immobile devant elle, ?coutant sa douce voix et gardant pr?cieusement dans sa m?moire les le?ons qu’elle lui donnait.<br /> Ce soir-l?, Rosa Valentin paraissait un peu inqui?te et agit?e, et plus d’une fois ce fut l’?l?ve qui dut rappeler l’attention distraite de la jeune ma?tresse. Bient?t, le regard de Rosa quitta tout ? fait les feuillets du livre pour se porter vers le soleil qui descendait ? Thorizon derri?re les massifs violac?s des montagnes du Jura. Soudain, elle suspendit l’explication commenc?e, et, appuyant son menton sur le revers de sa main, elle resta quelque temps silencieuse.<br /> Julien respecta sa r?verie, ferma doucement le livre et baissa les yeux vers la terre.</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。 80円

Turing Pioneer of the Information Age【電子書籍】[ B. Jack Copeland ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Alan Turing is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45, Turing was also the father of the modern computer. Today, all who 'click-to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas. Here, B. Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work, exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions. The book highlights Turing's contributions to computing and to computer science, including Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life, and the emphasis throughout is on the relevance of his work to modern developments. The story of his contributions to codebreaking during the Second World War is set in the context of his thinking about machines, as is the account of his work in the foundations of mathematics.</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。 1,917円

Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, LL.D During the Last Twenty Years of His Life【電子書籍】[ Hester Lynch Piozzi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, LL.D," Hester Lynch Piozzi offers a unique and intimate portrait of one of the most significant literary figures of the 18th century. This collection of anecdotes, written in a conversational and personal style, transcends mere biography, immersing readers in the complexities of Johnson's character, wit, and intellect. Piozzi's work is situated within the broader context of Johnson's literary achievements and the sociocultural milieu of the Enlightenment, providing valuable insights into his relationships with contemporaries and the profound impact he had on English literature. Hester Lynch Piozzi, an accomplished writer and devoted friend of Samuel Johnson, draws upon her extensive personal experiences and observations to craft this memoir. Her unique position as both a participant in and witness to Johnson's literary circle enriches her narratives, allowing for an authentic exploration of his idiosyncrasies and profound insights. Piozzi's own literary contributions and her role as a woman in a predominantly male literary world further inform her candid and nuanced portrayal of Johnson, reflecting both admiration and critical engagement. I highly recommend "Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, LL.D" to anyone interested in literary history, biography, or the complexities of friendship. Piozzi's engaging prose serves not only as a tribute to Johnson but also as a testament to the importance of personal narrative in understanding historical figures.

<p>In his Inaugural Address delivered to the University of St. Andrews on February 1, 1867, John Stuart Mill presents a profound reflection on the goals of higher education and the responsibilities of the intellectual community. Mill articulates the need for universities to cultivate not only knowledge but also critical thinking, character, and moral development within their students. His eloquent literary style blends philosophical rigor with accessible language, situated within the broader Victorian context of burgeoning intellectual and social reform. The address serves as a clarion call for the importance of education as a means to elevate society and address pressing social issues of the time.

Influenced by his father, James Mill, and the broader 19th-century debates on empiricism and utilitarianism, Mill experienced the transformative power of education early in life. His unique experiences, including his advocacy for women's rights and social justice, informed his ideals presented in this address, emphasizing the need for an educational system that fosters individual empowerment. Mill's Inaugural Address is a must-read for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the intersections between philosophy, education, and society. It challenges contemporary readers to reconsider their views on the purpose of education and encourages an active engagement with the evolving moral and ethical dilemmas facing humanity.

Holy Ghost The Life And Death Of Free Jazz Pioneer Albert Ayler【電子書籍】[ Richard Koloda ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>Holy Ghost</em> is the first extended study of free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, who is seen today as one of the most important innovators in the history of jazz.</strong></p> <p>Ayler synthesized children’s songs, La Marseillaise, American march music, and gospel hymns, turning them into powerful, rambunctious, squalling free-jazz improvisations. Some critics considered him a charlatan, others a heretic for unhinging the traditions of jazz. Some simply considered him insane. However, like most geniuses, Ayler was misunderstood in his time. His divine messages of peace and love, apocalyptic visions of flying saucers, and the strange account of the days leading up to his being found floating in New York’s East River are central to his mystique, but, as Koloda points out, they are a distraction, overshadowing his profound impact on the direction of jazz as one of the most visible avant-garde players of the 1960s and a major influence on others, including John Coltrane.</p> <p>A musicologist and friend of Don Ayler, Albert’s troubled trumpet-playing brother, Richard Koloda has spent over two decades researching this book. He follows Ayler from his beginnings in his native Cleveland to France, where he received his greatest acclaim, to his untimely death on November 25, 1970, at age thirty-four, and puts to rest speculation concerning his mysterious death.</p> <p>A feat of biography and a major addition to jazz scholarship, <em>Holy Ghost</em> offers a new appreciation of one of the most important and controversial figures in twentieth-century music.</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。 1,277円
