Stories from the Trenches: Humorous and Lively Doings of Our 'Boys Over There'【電子書籍】[ Carleton B. Case ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The book is structured as a series of short, lively stories, many of which draw from the author's firsthand experiences or the stories of other soldiers. It emphasizes the camaraderie and humor that often sustained soldiers in the dire conditions of the trenches. While war is usually depicted in grim, serious tones, Case’s work lightens the atmosphere by focusing on the quirky and humorous situations soldiers found themselves in, and the often absurd moments that could arise amidst the horrors of war.From comical misunderstandings between soldiers and officers to funny mishaps with military equipment, "Stories from the Trenches" offers a portrayal of wartime life that is less about the brutality and more about the resilience and humor of the soldiers. These stories show the soldiers' ability to laugh in the face of danger, forming an essential part of their coping mechanisms. The book also touches on the deep bonds of friendship forged during the war and the lighter side of military life, from pranks played on each other to moments of unexpected levity.＜/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。	161円
Working Together A Case Study of a National Arts Education Partnership【電子書籍】[ Shirley R. Steinberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Partnerships among a variety of institutions ? for profit, not-for-profit, and non-profit ? are a relatively recent organizational development. Such partnerships link businesses, government, and social agencies. The primary reason for these relationships is to achieve goals sooner and more efficiently by building on the resources and expertise of each partner. In arts education, schools, arts organizations, cultural institutions, government agencies, and universities have engaged in joint ventures to improve the teaching and learning of the arts disciplines in their schools and in their communities. These partnerships have been particularly beneficial for teachers, many of whom have limited background in the arts but are expected to teach them in their classrooms. Arts partnerships initially focused on the goals of the participating organizations; that is, to develop artistic skills, to build future audiences, and/or to encourage young people to consider an artistic career. More recently, partnerships focus on educational goals rather than solely artistic ones. Despite the challenges and complexities of arts education partnerships, most partners believe that the benefits to students, teachers and the community outweigh the disadvantages and consequently, as the research in ＜em＞Working Together＜/em＞ demonstrates, they are willing to justify the time, energy, and expense involved to improve the quality of arts education.＜/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。	6,738円

Who Owns History? Elgin's Loot and the Case for Returning Plundered Treasure【電子書籍】[ Geoffrey Robertson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The biggest question in the world of art and culture concerns the return of property taken without consent. Throughout history, conquerors or colonial masters have taken artefacts from subjugated peoples, who now want them returned from museums and private collections in Europe and the USA.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The controversy rages on over the Elgin Marbles, and has been given immediacy by figures such as France's President Macron, who says he will order French museums to return hundreds of artworks acquired by force or fraud in Africa, and by British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has pledged that a Labour government would return the Elgin Marbles to Greece. Elsewhere, there is a debate in Belgium about whether the Africa Museum, newly opened with 120,000 items acquired mainly by armed forces in the Congo, should close.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although there is an international convention dated 1970 that deals with the restoration of artefacts stolen since that time, there is no agreement on the rules of law or ethics which should govern the fate of objects forcefully or lawlessly acquired in previous centuries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Who Owns History? delves into the crucial debate over the Elgin Marbles, but also offers a system for the return of cultural property based on human rights law principles that are being developed by the courts. It is not a legal text, but rather an examination of how the past can be experienced by everyone, as well as by the people of the country of origin.＜/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。	2,240円

The Chopin Technic A Series of Daily Studies Based on Difficult Passages Taken from the Preludes and Etudes of Fr. Chopin【電子書籍】[ Henry Levey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The text presented here is in fact a reprint of a booklet of technical exercises for piano compiled by Henry Levey and based on specific passages found in the Preludes op. 28 and in the Studies op. 10 and op. 25 by Fr.

Exercises dedicated to a serious and fruitful study of preparation for the technical difficulties present in Chopin's piano virtuosity are in fact little attested in the literature of the instrument, making this collection truly precious for those approaching piano virtuosity in general and the dreamy and delicate world of Chopin in particular.＜/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。	1,506円
Eye of the Century Film, Experience, Modernity【電子書籍】[ Francesco Casetti ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Is it true that film in the twentieth century experimented with vision more than any other art form? And what visions did it privilege? In this brilliant book, acclaimed film scholar Francesco Casetti situates the cinematic experience within discourses of twentieth-century modernity. He suggests that film defined a unique gaze, not only because it recorded many of the century's most important events, but also because it determined the manner in which they were received.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Casetti begins by examining film's nature as a medium in an age obsessed with immediacy, nearness, and accessibility. He considers the myths and rituals cinema constructed on the screen and in the theater and how they provided new images and behaviors that responded to emerging concerns, ideas, and social orders. Film also succeeded in negotiating the different needs of modernity, comparing and uniting conflicting stimuli, providing answers in a world torn apart by conflict, and satisfying a desire for everydayness, as well as lightness, in people's lives. The ability to communicate, the power to inform, and the capacity to negotiate-these are the three factors that defined film's function and outlook and made the medium a relevant and vital art form of its time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So what kind of gaze did film create? Film cultivated a personal gaze, intimately tied to the emergence of point of view, but also able to restore the immediacy of the real; a complex gaze, in which reality and imagination were combined; a piercing gaze, achieved by machine, and yet deeply anthropomorphic; an excited gaze, rich in perceptive stimuli, but also attentive to the spectator's orientation; and an immersive gaze, which gave the impression of being inside the seen world while also maintaining a sense of distance. Each of these gazes combined two different qualities and balanced them. The result was an ever inventive synthesis that strived to bring about true compromises without ever sacrificing the complexity of contradiction. As Casetti demonstrates, film proposed a vision that, in making opposites permeable, modeled itself on an oxymoronic principle. In this sense, film is the key to reading and understanding the modern 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。	4,932円

As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace, he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it, merchants selling it and tourists buying it. We see how this image is, ultimately, a mercurial icon that still ignites passionーand a reflection of how we view ourselves.＜/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。	2,334円

The Art of Mystery The Search for Questions【電子書籍】[ Maud Casey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A sensitive and nuanced exploration of a seldom-discussed subject by an acclaimed novelist＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The fourteenth volume in the ＜em＞Art of＜/em＞ series conjures an ethereal subject: the idea of mystery in fiction. Mystery is not often discussedーapart from the genreーbecause, as Maud Casey says, “It’s not easy to talk about something that is a whispered invitation, a siren song, a flickering light in the distance.” Casey, the author of several critically acclaimed novels, reaches beyond the usual tool kit of fictional elements to ask the question: Where does mystery reside in a work of fiction? She takes us into the Land of Unーa space of uncertainty and unknowingーto find out and looks at the variety of ways mystery is created through character, image, structure, and haunted texts, including the novels of Shirley Jackson, Paul Yoon, J. M. Coetzee, and more. Casey’s wide-ranging discussion encompasses spirit photography, the radical nature of empathy, and contradictory characters, as she searches for questions rather than answers. ＜em＞The Art of Mystery＜/em＞ is a striking and vibrant addition to the much-loved ＜em＞Art of＜/em＞ series.＜/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。	1,579円

The Urban Plays of the Early Abbey Theatre Beyond O'Casey【電子書籍】[ Dr. Elizabeth Mannion ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Ireland’s Abbey Theatre was founded in 1904. Under the guidance of W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory it became instrumental to the success of many of the leading Irish playwrights and actors of the early twentieth century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Conventional wisdom holds that the playwright Sean O’Casey was the first to offer a new vision of Irish authenticity in the people and struggles of inner-city Dublin in his groundbreaking trilogy ＜em＞The Shadow of a Gunman, The Plough and the Stars,＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Juno and the Paycock.＜/em＞ Challenging this view, Mannion argues that there was an established tradition of urban plays within the Abbey repertoire that has long been overlooked by critics. She seeks to restore attention to a lesser-known corpus of Irish urban plays, specifically those that appeared at the Abbey Theatre from the theatre’s founding until 1951, when the original theatre was destroyed by fire. Mannion illustrates distinct patterns within this Abbey urban genre and considers in particular themes of poverty, gender, and class.

Give the Man Room The Story of Gutzon Borglum【電子書籍】[ Robert J. Casey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞THE SCULPTOR WHO CARVED THE FACES OF AMERICA'S HEROIC DEAD ON GRANITE MOUNTAINSーAND THEY WERE SELDOM BIG ENOUGH.＜br /＞ First published in 1952, Robert John Casey co-wrote this fascinating biography with the wife of Gutzon Borglum (1867-1941), the American sculptor best known for his colossal sculpture of the faces of four U.S. presidents on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The son of Danish immigrants, Gutzon Borglum studied art in San Francisco and for four years in Paris at the Acad?mie Julian and the ?cole des Beaux-Arts. His painting and his sculpture were admitted to the officially recognized Salon and he subsequently received important commissions and royal recognition whilst in England. In 1901 Borglum established himself in New York City, where he sculpted a bronze group called The Mares of Diomedes, the first piece of American sculpture bought for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Versatile and prolific, Borglum sculpted many portrait busts of American leaders, as well as of figures such as the Twelve Apostles, which he created for the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York. He turned toward reviving the ancient Egyptian practice of carving gargantuan statues of political figures in natural formations of rock, and executed from a six-ton block of marble a colossal head of President Abraham Lincoln, which was placed in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. This led to a commission in 1927 by the state of South Dakota to turn Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills, into another colossal monument, and that same year Borglum began sculpting the 60-foot-high heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt on the face of the mountain. The project was completed in 1941 and became a national memorial.＜br /＞ Physically only medium-sized, Borglum was a big man, colorful, worth knowing. The change to know him is here in the stimulating pages of Give the Man Room.＜/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。	756円
Illicit Love On Sinister Staircases: Two Friends Discuss the Films of Billy Wilder【電子書籍】[ Danny Reid ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞With a career spanning nearly 50 years and 27 films, director Billy Wilder left an indelible mark on film and American pop culture in general. Four of his greatest films-- Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment, and The Lost Weekend-- have become iconic cornerstones of cinema. His work with Marilyn Monroe crafted her most iconic image, while his films with Jack Lemmon, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau and William Holden helped to make the actors into legends. More than that, though, his films routinely tested the boundaries of and defined mid-century America, creating a body of work that is admired and emulated to this day. Two devotees of his works, Danny Reid and Ryan Rinchiuso, now go through each of his films, dissecting their themes, motifs and lessons. From Mauvise Graine in 1934 to Buddy Buddy in 1981, they explore each of the master's works with equal doses of admiration, thoughtfulness, and humor.＜/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。	164円
