 Fish in a Bird's Nest【電子書籍】[ F. Elizabeth Hauser ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The story of a friendship between two children, one whose parents employ the other's parents, who are of different religious faiths, different cultures, and different races,set in a time during America's history where such friendships were both rare, and not tolerated in society. Their story takes place in rural Southeast Arizona in a remote town that marks the edge between the predominantly white and Mormon-colonized Gila Valley and the reservation of the San Carlos Apaches. The children, one the white daughter of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) cotton farmers, and the other, the son of their Apache farm workers, are inseparable best friends, who in their teen years fall in love. When their parents step in to prevent any romantic relationship from fully blossoming, these young people feel forced to take bold action to ensure their future. The choice they make and the consequences that develop will leave readers turning pages as conflicts develop,tensions rise,apparently resolve, only to be replaced by another type of conflict. This is the story of a love stronger than social bigotry and more enduring than life. A sequel continues the story where this book ends, because their story is far from over.＜/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。 | 525円 |

At least he tried to remain thoughtful, while alternating images popped in and out of his mind's eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Perfect freckled cleavage framed in lace. Root beer-soaked fried mushrooms. Freckles. Mushrooms. Cleavage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She was truly gorgeous. Not beauty contest, make-up and hairdo gorgeous. Natural, towel-dry-and-ready-to-go stunning radiance, especially with her hair shining even more resplendently in the recently-appearing sun's rays. That wonderful smile always near the surface.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And her body! He couldn't see freckles from here, but he could sure see her cleavage, pink and protruding but not too much. A belly that swelled that slightest just enough to lead the eye down to a short, shapely triangle of orange-red hair peaking out between her legs. Her legs were decidedly curvier and softer than the tall, slim girl next to her. Creamy smooth legs that would be heaven wrapped around your hips or sliding softly over cheeks as your nose and mouth nuzzled closer to their moistening zenith.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jay rarely considered himself a poet, but Red brought out his inner sonneteer.

 Heart Full of Soul Keith Relf of the Yardbirds【電子書籍】[ David French ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is the first full-length biography of Keith Relf, frontman for the Yardbirds and one of the great tragic characters in rock history. Keith's moody vocals and harmonica helped to define the Yardbirds' sound on a string of innovative hit records in the 1960s that influenced garage rock, psychedelia, blues rock, hard rock and heavy metal. Numerous books have been written about the Yardbirds' famous guitarists--Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page--yet Keith has remained a mysterious and elusive figure since his death by electrocution at age 33.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A deeply private person, prone to depression and poor health, Keith was ill-suited to the life of a rock star. In the years following the Yardbirds' breakup, as the band's guitarists became household names playing blues-based rock, Keith insisted on pursuing new musical paths, always searching for something new and trying to extend the Yardbirds' spirit of curiosity and innovation. By the time of his death in 1976, Keith was nearly forgotten and struggling physically, emotionally and financially. More than forty years after his tragic death, this important artist's story has finally been written and his contributions celebrated as more than just a footnote to the careers of his better-known bandmates.＜/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 Man Who Ate Too Much The Life of James Beard【電子書籍】[ John Birdsall ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**A Finalist for the 2022 James Beard Foundation Cookbook Award (Writing)＜/p＞ ＜p＞The definitive biography of America’s best-known and least-understood food personality, and the modern culinary landscape he shaped.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the first portrait of James Beard in twenty-five years, John Birdsall accomplishes what no prior telling of Beard’s life and work has done: He looks beyond the public image of the "Dean of American Cookery" to give voice to the gourmet’s complex, queer life and, in the process, illuminates the history of American food in the twentieth century. At a time when stuffy French restaurants and soulless Continental cuisine prevailed, Beard invented something strange and new: the notion of an American cuisine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Informed by previously overlooked correspondence, years of archival research, and a close reading of everything Beard wrote, this majestic biography traces the emergence of personality in American food while reckoning with the outwardly gregarious Beard’s own need for love and connection, arguing that Beard turned an unapologetic pursuit of pleasure into a new model for food authors and experts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Born in Portland, Oregon, in 1903, Beard would journey from the pristine Pacific Coast to New York’s Greenwich Village by way of gay undergrounds in London and Paris of the 1920s. The failed actor?turned?Manhattan canap? hawker?turned?author and cooking teacher was the jovial bachelor uncle presiding over America’s kitchens for nearly four decades. In the 1940s he hosted one of the first television cooking shows, and by flouting the rules of publishing would end up crafting some of the most expressive cookbooks of the twentieth century, with recipes and stories that laid the groundwork for how we cook and eat today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In stirring, novelistic detail, ＜em＞The Man Who Ate Too Much＜/em＞ brings to life a towering figure, a man who still represents the best in eating and yet has never been fully understoodーuntil now. This is biography of the highest order, a book about the rise of America’s food written by the celebrated writer who fills in Beard’s life with the color and meaning earlier generations were afraid to examine.＜/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。 | 2,520円 |

 A Most Remarkable Creature The Hidden Life of the World's Smartest Birds of Prey【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Meiburg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**“Utterly captivating and beautifully written, this book is a hugely entertaining and enlightening exploration of a bird so wickedly smart, curious, and social, it boggles the mind.”ーJennifer Ackerman, author of ＜em＞The Bird Way＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞“＜em＞A fascinating, entertaining, and totally engrossing story＜/em＞.＜/em＞”ーDavid Sibley, author of ＜em＞What It's Like to Be a Bird＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞An enthralling account of a modern voyage of discovery as we meet the clever, social birds of prey called caracaras, which puzzled Darwin, fascinate modern-day falconers, and carry secrets of our planet's deep past in their family history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“As curious, wide-ranging, gregarious, and intelligent as its subject.”ーCharles C. Mann, author of ＜em＞1491＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1833, Charles Darwin was astonished by an animal he met in the Falkland Islands: handsome, social, and oddly crow-like falcons that were "tame and inquisitive . . . quarrelsome and passionate," and so insatiably curious that they stole hats, compasses, and other valuables from the crew of the ＜em＞Beagle＜/em＞. Darwin wondered why these birds were confined to remote islands at the tip of South America, sensing a larger story, but he set this mystery aside and never returned to it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Almost two hundred years later, Jonathan Meiburg takes up this chase. He takes us through South America, from the fog-bound coasts of Tierra del Fuego to the tropical forests of Guyana, in search of these birds: striated caracaras, which still exist, though they're very rare. He reveals the wild, fascinating story of their history, origins, and possible futures. And along the way, he draws us into the life and work of William Henry Hudson, the Victorian writer and naturalist who championed caracaras as an unsung wonder of the natural world, and to falconry parks in the English countryside, where captive caracaras perform incredible feats of memory and problem-solving. ＜em＞A Most Remarkable Creature＜/em＞ is a hybrid of science writing, travelogue, and biography, as generous and accessible as it is sophisticated, and absolutely riveting.＜/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。 | 2,022円 |
