 Elvis Has Left the Building The Day the King Died【電子書籍】[ Dylan Jones ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The King departed this world during the month of punk Rock's apotheosis. Punk had set out to destroy Elvis, or at least everything he came to represent, but never got the chance. Elvis destroyed himself before anyone else could.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nearly forty years after his death, Rock's ultimate legend and prototype just won't go away and his influence and legacy are to be found not just in music today, but the world over. Elvis Presley has permeated the modern world in ways that are bizarre and inexplicable: a pop icon while he was alive, he has become almost a religious icon in death, a modern-day martyr crucified on the wheel of drugs, celebrity culture, junk food and sex.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Elvis Has Left the Building＜/em＞, Dylan Jones takes us back to those heady days around the time of his death and the rise of punk. He evokes the hysteria and devotion of The King's numerous disciples and imitators, offering a uniquely insightful commentary on Elvis's life, times and outrageous demise. This is a fresh account, written with the authors customary panache, recounting how Elvis single-handedly changed the course of popular music and culture, and what his death meant and still means to us today.＜/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。 | 993円 |
 Old Europe's Suicide: The Building of a Pyramid of Errors【電子書籍】[ Christopher Birdwood Thomson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞“When the snows melt there will be war in the Balkans,” had become an habitual formula in the Foreign Offices of Europe during the first decade of the twentieth century. Statesmen and diplomats found comfort in this prophecy on their return from cures at different Continental spas, because, the season being autumn, the snow had still to fall, and would not melt for at least six months. This annual breathing space was welcome after the anxieties of spring and summer; the inevitable war could be discussed calmly and dispassionately, preparations for its conduct could be made methodically, and brave words could be bandied freely in autumn in the Balkans. Only an imminent danger inspires fear; hope has no time limit, the most unimaginative person can hope for the impossible twenty years ahead. Without regard either for prophecies or the near approach of winter, Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and Montenegro declared war on Turkey at the beginning of October, 1912. The Balkan Bloc had been formed, and did not include Rumania, a land where plenty had need of peace; King Charles was resolutely opposed to participation in the war, he disdained a mere Balkan alliance as unworthy of the “Sentinel of the Near East.” Bukarest had, for the moment anyhow, lost interest; my work there was completed, and a telegram from London instructed me to proceed to Belgrade. The trains via Budapest being overcrowded, I decided on the Danube route, and left by the night train for Orsova, in company with a number of journalists and business men from all parts of Rumania. We reached the port of the Iron Gate before dawn, and found a Hungarian steamer waiting; soon after daybreak we were heading up stream. Behind us lay the Iron Gate, its gloom as yet unconquered by the sunrise; on our left the mountains of North-Eastern Servia rose like a rampart; on our right the foothills of the Carpathians terminated abruptly at the river’s edge; in front the Danube shimmered with soft and ever-changing lights; a stillness reigned which no one cared to break, even the crew spoke low, like pious travellers before a shrine. War’s alarms seemed infinitely distant from those glistening waters set in an amphitheatre of hills. “How can man, being happy, still keep his happy hour?” The pageant of dawn and river and mountain faded as the sun rose higher; dim outlines became hard and sharp; the Iron Gate, surmounted by eddying wisps of mist, looked like a giant cauldron. The pass broadened with our westward progress revealing the plain of Southern Hungary, low hills replaced the mountains on the Servian bank. A bell rang as we stopped at a small river port, it announced breakfast and reminded us, incidentally, that stuffy smells are inseparable from human activities, even on the Danube, and within sight of the blue mountains of Transylvania.＜/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。 | 1,200円 |

 The Building Trust 60-Day Workout: Powerful Daily Lessons Proven to Build Trust at Work and at Home【電子書籍】[ Bruce Hendrick ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Too many teams of highly talented people get stuck in frustration and intractable problems. Mistrust among the members is often the root cause. When safety is lacking, people withhold their opinions, posturing becomes routine, and mediocrity abounds.

To fully trust another person is the height of vulnerability and security, while to have earned someone's trust is a great honor and rare privilege.

 Race, Class and Power in the Building of Richmond, 1870-1920【電子書籍】[ Steven J. Hoffman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Using post-Civil War Richmond, Virginia, as a case study, Hoffman explores the role of race and class in the city building process from 1870 to 1920. Richmond's railroad connections enabled the city to participate in the commercial expansion that accompanied the rise of the New South. A highly compact city of mixed residential, industrial and commercial space at the end of the Civil War, Richmond remained a classic example of what historians call a "walking city" through the end of the century. As city streets were improved and public transportation became available, the city's white merchants and emerging white middle class sought homes removed from the congested downtown. The city's African American and white workers generally could not afford to take part in this residential migration. As a result, the mixture of race and class that had existed in the city since its inception began to disappear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The city of Richmond exemplified characteristics of both Northern and Southern cities during the period from 1870 to 1920. Retreating Confederate soldiers had started fires that destroyed the city in 1865, but by 1870, the former capital of the Confederacy was on the road to recovery from war and reconstruction, reestablishing itself as an important manufacturing and trade center. The city's size, diversity and economic position at the time not only allows for comparisons to both Northern and Southern cities but also permits an analysis of the role of groups other than the elite in city building process. By taking a look at Richmond, we are able to see a more complete picture of how American cities have come to be the way they are.＜/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。 | 2,652円 |
 The Sending Church The Church Must Leave the Building【電子書籍】[ Pat Hood ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞When crowds refused to disperse at Elvis Presley concerts in hopes of another encore from the king of rock and roll, the announcement that “Elvis has left the building” had to be made. Pastor Pat Hood recalls from childhood one such performance that came to his hometown, and with his new book ＜em＞The Sending Church＜/em＞ he makes a similar declaration: "The church must leave the building."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Indeed, our lives should be “sent” in worship to the King of kings, spreading out from our weekly gathering places to extend God’s Kingdom worldwide. To that end, Pastor Hood shares stories from his experiences at LifePoint Church, a congregation with smalltown roots that has also planted churches in Bangkok, Thailand, and Brussels, Belgium, among other places.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How does man's heart move closer to God's heart? How do we "live sent" in our community or halfway around the world? What good things that happen in church life might actually threaten to obscure the greater things being orchestrated by God? How does everyone at church move from being a member to a missionary?

 Roads Through the Everglades The Building of the Ingraham Highway, the Tamiami Trail and Conners Highway, 1914-1931【電子書籍】[ Bruce D. Epperson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 1915, the road system in south Florida had changed little since before the Civil War. Travelling from Miami to Ft. Myers meant going through Orlando, 250 miles north of Miami. Within 15 years, three highways were dredged and blasted through the Everglades: Ingraham Highway from Homestead, 25 miles south of Miami, to Flamingo on the tip of the peninsula; Tamiami Trail from Miami to Tampa; and Conners Highway from West Palm Beach to Okeechobee City.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1916, Florida's road commission spent $967. In 1928 it spent $6.8 million. Tamiami Trail, originally projected to cost $500,000, eventually required $11 million. These roads were made possible by the 1920s Florida land boom, the advent of gasoline and diesel-powered equipment to replace animal and steam-powered implements, and the creation of a highway funding system based on fuel taxes. This book tells the story of the finance and technology of the first modern highways in the South.＜/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。 | 3,447円 |

 The Building Detective A Journey Into the Hidden Stories of Property, People, and Problem Solving【電子書籍】[ Craig JL MacDonald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞What stories do buildings tell?＜/strong＞ The Building Detective uncovers the secrets from the hidden world of buildings. Dive below the surface to unearth captivating case studies and personal experiences that reveal how buildings reflect ingenuity, expose failures, and shape the lives of those who live and work within them. Journey into the mysteries and lessons of the built environment with this fresh perspective on the spaces we inhabit and change how you see the built world forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Buildings are everywhere. We live in them, work in them, shop in them, and walk past them without a second thought. But beneath their surfaces, behind walls, beneath floors, and inside ceilings, buildings carry stories, mysteries, and lessons. Some are tales of brilliance and innovation, while others are cautionary reminders of what happens when things go wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When I began my career as a Chartered Building Surveyor, I didn't expect to be piecing together puzzles like a detective. I thought I'd spend my days inspecting properties, ticking off compliance boxes, and writing reports. What I discovered was something far more compelling: every building holds a narrative, a blend of engineering, architecture, history, and human decisions that shape how it performs, fails, or thrives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is not a textbook. It's a journey. Part memoir, part exploration of the property industry, and part practical guide to understanding the built environment. Although this book finds it home in Australia, and that is its primary context, it contains stories about buildings from around the world. Through the lens of my own experiences, I'll take you behind the scenes of real-world investigations and industry dilemmas, uncovering hidden defects while weaving in the human stories that underpin every structure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You'll discover how ODEC, a codified approach to the scientific method, helps solve not just building problems but any problem. From high-profile building failures of the 2010s to tales from remote inspections in the Australian outback, you'll see how the decisions we make about our buildings affect not only their performance but also the people who live and work within them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book doesn't aim to catalogue every possible building problem (there are detailed textbooks for that). Instead, it's about curiosity. It's an invitation to look beyond surfaces and think critically about the spaces we inhabit and their context for generations to come. Whether you're a property professional, a homeowner, or simply someone who's ever wondered why water is coming into your home when it shouldn't, I hope you'll find insights, a new way of seeing the built world, and a renewed appreciation for inquisitiveness.＜/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。 | 2,113円 |
 Sovereignty Experiments Korean Migrants and the Building of Borders in Northeast Asia, 1860?1945【電子書籍】[ Alyssa M. Park ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Sovereignty Experiments＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞tells the story of how authorities in Korea, Russia, China, and Japanーthrough diplomatic negotiations, border regulations, legal categorization of subjects and aliens, and cultural policiesーcompeted to control Korean migrants as they suddenly moved abroad by the thousands in the late nineteenth century.＜/strong＞ Alyssa M. Park argues that Korean migrants were essential to the process of establishing sovereignty across four states because they tested the limits of state power over territory and people in a borderland where authority had been long asserted but not necessarily enforced. Traveling from place to place, Koreans compelled statesmen to take notice of their movement and to experiment with various policies to govern it. Ultimately, states' efforts culminated in drastic measures, including the complete removal of Koreans on the Soviet side. As Park demonstrates, what resulted was the stark border regime that still stands between North Korea, Russia, and China today.＜br /＞ Skillfully employing a rich base of archival sources from across the region, Sovereignty Experiments sets forth a new approach to the transnational history of Northeast Asia. By focusing on mobility and governance, Park illuminates why this critical intersection of Asia was contested, divided, and later reimagined as parts of distinct nations and empires. The result is a fresh interpretation of migration, identity, and state making at the crossroads of East Asia and Russia.＜/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。 | 6,060円 |

 Shasta Lake Boomtowns and the Building of the Shasta Dam【電子書籍】[ Al Rocca ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞When national newspapers reported in 1938 that a large dam would be built in northern California, hundreds of job-seeking families streamed into Shasta County. Shasta Dam would be America's last large concrete dam and would take years to build, offering employment for those fortunate enough to secure a construction job during the Great Depression. Captured here in over 200 rare photographs is the story of the building of Shasta Dam, the boomtowns that resulted from its construction, and the residents who made the Shasta Lake region what it is today. America's master dam builder Frank T. Crowe and his band of dam builders diverted the Sacramento River and began the massive job of excavating millions of yards of dirt and rock. Meanwhile, boomtowns housing dam workers and their families rapidly expanded, developing both commercial and residential zones. Work on the dam was completed in 1945 and the question arose: Would the boomtowns survive? Featuring images from the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the Shasta Lake Historical Society, this new book focuses on both towns that no longer exist and some that still thrive, including Redding, Toyon, Shasta Dam Village, Project City, Summit City, and Central Valley.＜/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。 | 1,921円 |

 Re-thinking the Building Envelope Lessons from Nature in the Era of Climate Change【電子書籍】[ Francesco Sommese ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book illustrates the potential of nature when it comes to rethinking the role of the building envelope, which is responsible for energy flows between the internal and external environment, in the era of climate change. Nature has always inspired architects and engineers in the design of structures and buildings, but its role has been limited to a simple morphological imitation with aesthetic value. Today, however, thanks to the biomimetic discipline, which imitates the functional processes of nature, it is possible to transfer nature's adaptive strategies to architecture and promote the design of buildings and architectural structures that adapt to the surrounding context and respond passively to environmental changes. The use of advanced and innovative technologies, combined with the use of smart and self-responsive materials, favours the creation of adaptive and responsive dynamic envelopes, capable of adapting their performance to the changing conditions of the environment. In this way, the envelope is no longer seen as a static element, but as dynamic and able to adapt to its context by playing an active role. After establishing a general framework for the climate adaptive building envelope and analysing the adaptation strategies of natural organisms, this book provides an overview of the biomimetic discipline applied to architecture and building technology. The analysis of emblematic and recent case studies, together with advanced techniques and materials and the illustration of biomimetic design methods, gives this text an added value that promotes the understanding of the different phases necessary to move from nature to architectural technologies. This book is an indispensable tool for researchers in the field to understand an innovative and advanced concept that meets the needs of the time. In addition, it can also help fa?ade manufacturers to understand the current directions of scientific-academic research in order to propose new technologies to the market.＜/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。 | 6,076円 |

 Eastern Medieval Architecture The Building Traditions of Byzantium and Neighboring Lands【電子書籍】[ Robert G. Ousterhout ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Aside from Hagia Sophia, the monuments of the Byzantine East are poorly understood today. This is in sharp contrast to the well-known architectural marvels of Western Europe?s Middle Ages. In this landmark survey, distinguished art historian Robert Ousterhout introduces readers to the rich and diverse architectural traditions of the medieval Eastern Mediterranean. The focus of the book is the Byzantine (or East Roman) Empire (324-1453 CE), with its capital in Constantinople, although the framework expands chronologically to include the foundations of Christian architecture in Late Antiquity and the legacy of Byzantine culture after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Geographically broad as well, this study includes architectural developments in areas of Italy, the Caucasus, the Near East, the Balkans, and Russia, as well as related developments in early Islamic architecture. Alternating chapters that address chronological or regionally-based developments with thematic studies that focus on the larger cultural concerns, the book presents the architectural developments in a way that makes them accessible, interesting, and intellectually stimulating. In doing so, it also explains why medieval architecture in the East followed such a different trajectory from that of the West. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of color photographs, maps, and line drawings, ＜em＞Eastern Medieval Architecture＜/em＞ will establish Byzantine traditions to be as significant and admirable as those more familiar examples in Western Europe, and serve as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in architectural history, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages.＜/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。 | 8,174円 |

 Managers and Mandarins in Contemporary China The Building of an International Business【電子書籍】[ Jie Tang ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This study explores the question as to whether the way in which Chinese management handles conflict is fundamentally different from elsewhere or much the same.

In addition, the book provides an in-depth account of the inner workings of the Chinese business world, touching on issues such as:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞differing international standards and management procedures＜/li＞ ＜li＞the peculiarities of Chinese red tape＜/li＞ ＜li＞paternalism and nepotism＜/li＞ ＜li＞the limits on contract in contemporary China＜/li＞ ＜li＞the involvement of local officials.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞Of interest to scholars and managers alike, this study benefits from the unparalleled access the author secured to all the parties involved. Working alongside managers as a participant observer, Jie Tang uses the fine detail of ethnography to convey a vivid impression of the lives of managers in China today and the forces with which they have to contend.＜/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。 | 4,807円 |
 Devices and Desires Bess of Hardwick and the Building of Elizabethan England【電子書籍】[ Kate Hubbard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Aided by a quartet of judicious marriages and a shrewd head for business, Bess of Hardwick rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected and feared countesses in Elizabethan Englandーan entrepreneur who built a family fortune; created glorious houses (the last and greatest built when she was a widow in her 70s); and was deeply involved in matters of the court, including the custody of Mary, Queen of Scots.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While Bess cultivated many influential cour-tiers, she also collected numerous enemies. Her embittered fourth husband once called her a woman of "devices and desires," while male historians of the nineteenth century portrayed her as a monsterー"a woman of masculine understanding and conduct, proud, furious, selfish, and unfeeling." In the twenty-first century, she has been neutered by female historians, who recast her as a softhearted sort, much maligned and misunderstood. As Kate Hubbard reveals, the truth of this highly accomplished woman lies somewhere in between: ruthless and scheming, Bess was sentimental and affectionate as well.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hubbard draws on more than 230 of Bess's letters, including correspondence with the queen and her councilors, fond (and furious) missives to her husbands and children, and notes sharing titillating court gossip. The result is a rich, compelling portrait of a true feminist icon centuries ahead of her timeーa complex, formidable, and decidedly modern woman captured in full as never before.＜/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 |

 Monarchy and Liberalism in Spain The Building of the Nation-State, 1780?1931【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Bringing together the work of top specialists and emerging scholars in the field, this volume is the first book-length study of the rapport between liberalism and the Spanish monarchy over the long nineteenth century in any language.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is at once a general overview and a set of original contributions to knowledge. The essays discuss monarchy’s rapport with the pre-liberal, liberal and post-liberal nation-state, from the eve of the French Revolution, when the monarchy regulated a ‘natural’ order, to the unstable reign of Isabel II, fraught by revolutions that ended in her exile, to the brief republican monarchy of Amadeo I, the much-maligned foreign king, to Alfonso XIII’s expulsion from Spain following the failure of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. The essays approach the subject through two main thematic-analytical axes. The first, political axis examines the monarchy’s confrontation with, and adaptation to, liberalism as a political force that aimed to nationalize the Spanish people. The second axis is cultural, and studies the Crown’s support of liberalism’s nationalizing aims through various staging strategies that comprised visits, rituals, ceremonies, iconography, religiosity, and familial and military display. The dual approach invites the reader to question the boundaries between the political and the cultural, especially in regard to the ceremonial, and during critical times that witness the transformation of political power and the building of the nation-state.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Designed for Hispanists and students of politics, ritual, liberalism and monarchy, this collection should appeal to academics and researchers as well as anyone interested in modern European 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。 | 10,280円 |

 Ed Bacon Planning, Politics, and the Building of Modern Philadelphia【電子書籍】[ Gregory L. Heller ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the mid-twentieth century, as Americans abandoned city centers in droves to pursue picket-fenced visions of suburbia, architect and urban planner Edmund Bacon turned his sights on shaping urban America. As director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Bacon forged new approaches to neighborhood development and elevated Philadelphia's image to the level of great world cities. Urban development came with costs, however, and projects that displaced residents and replaced homes with highways did not go uncriticized, nor was every development that Bacon envisioned brought to fruition. Despite these challenges, Bacon oversaw the planning and implementation of dozens of redesigned urban spaces: the restored colonial neighborhood of Society Hill, the new office development of Penn Center, and the transit-oriented shopping center of Market East.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Ed Bacon＜/em＞ is the first biography of this charismatic but controversial figure. Gregory L. Heller traces the trajectory of Bacon's two-decade tenure as city planning director, which coincided with a transformational period in American planning history. Edmund Bacon is remembered as a larger-than-life personality, but in Heller's detailed account, his successes owed as much to his savvy negotiation of city politics and the pragmatic particulars of his vision. In the present day, as American cities continue to struggle with shrinkage and economic restructuring, Heller's insightful biography reveals an inspiring portrait of determination and a career-long effort to transform planning ideas into reality.＜/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。 | 3,340円 |
