 THE HUNTER,THR BIRD and THE TORTOISE【電子書籍】[ Tandoh Stephen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Hunter, the Bird, and the Tortoise is a charming children's book with African influences that emphasizes the importance of taking care of one anotherーone of life's most crucial lessons. Three enduring characters are introduced to readers in this exquisitely written story, which takes place in a peaceful village tucked away in a verdant valley. The Hunter, who feels lonely despite being revered for his prowess, thinks power is the only thing necessary for survival. The Tortoise, who is ridiculed for being slow but wise and patient, subtly reminds us that kindness is more important than speed. And the Bird teaches that even the tiniest voice may inspire change and cure sorrow via her lovely and upbeat songs. A great friendship starts when their paths unexpectedly intersect, when the tortoise is caught in the hunter's trap and the bird valiantly begs for forgiveness. Together, the three encounter difficulties that put their bravery and empathy to the test, such as a devastating drought that puts the entire village in jeopardy. The hunter is initially inclined to keep his findings to himself, but he is taught the true meaning of strengthーsharing, guarding, and caring for othersーby the tortoise's gentle wisdom and the bird's hopeful melodies. The hunter changes along with the village. The community as a whole celebrates the strength of unity during the story's joyful festival of friendship. Because each chapter concludes with a straightforward moral lesson, this book serves as both an enthralling tale and a manual for young readers to consider virtues like cooperation, kindness, patience, and courage. The Hunter, the Bird, and the Tortoise is ideal for kids ages 6 to 12, families, classrooms, and everybody who enjoys classic stories about animals, the natural world, and community since it is full of rich imagery, moral teachings, and discussion starters. This narrative inspires readers to see above pride and selfishness and embrace the joy that comes from taking care of one another by fusing universal themes with African storytelling traditions. This book will make an effect whether it is read aloud before bed, discussed in class, or read on its own by young readers. It is more than just a tale ; it is a celebration of generosity and a reminder that giving, not keeping, is what gives us real strength.＜/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。 | 1,450円 |

 Bird Men The Untold Story of the Rise of American Airpower【電子書籍】[ A. J. Baime ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Bestselling author of ＜em＞The Arsenal of Democracy＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Accidental President＜/em＞, A. J. Baime returns with the incredible story of the airplane that ended World War II, the B-29 Superfortress, the rise of American airpower, and the man who made it all possible.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Of all the feats of American ingenuity in World War II, perhaps none was as impressive in scale or vital to the Allied victory as the creation of American airpower. Just a few years before the start of World War II, the American military was stuck in the dark ages of aviation, with the U.S. Army’s Air Corps mainly focused, not on combat, but on mail delivery. Fast forward to end of the war, and America had launched the most impressive flying machine the world had ever seen: the B-29 Superfortress, a weapon so essential to ending the war that its research and development process cost more than the Manhattan Project.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now A. J. Baime, one of our foremost chroniclers of twentieth-century history, returns with the story of this remarkable turnaround, detailing the creation of the Superfortress and how U.S. General Hap Arnold made the rise of American airpower a reality. Through the lens of Arnold’s remarkable careerーstretching from the dawn of aviation until the creation of the U.S. Air ForceーBaime tells a sweeping story of American ingenuity, perseverance, and resilience, as the brightest minds from around the country came together to create the planes and the air strategy that carried the Allies to victory. From the crowded assembly lines of American factories to antiaircraft fire in the skies over Western Europe to the machinations of Roosevelt’s Oval Office, Baime masterfully recreates the decisions, weapons, and victories that demonstrated to the world that whoever controlled the skies would win the war and control the future. Yet it was the Superfortress that brought it all together, culminating with the delivery of atomic bombs which could not have been carried by any other plane in the U.S. arsenal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What emerges is a book that rightfully places the creation of World War II airpower in the pantheon of American technological achievements alongside the Manhattan Project and the Space Race. In the end, the Superfortress did more than win the warーit made America a superpower.＜/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。 | 3,288円 |

 Six Months in the Sandwich Islands【電子書籍】[ Isabella L. Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞This classic of Hawaiian literature offers a charming glimpse at the splendid and fascinating world of pre American Hawaii.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Isabella Lucy Bird won fame in her own time as the most remarkable woman traveler of the nineteenth century, and ＜em＞Six Months in the Sandwich Isles＜/em＞, in which she describes her sojourn in Hawaii in 1873, is one of the gems of Pacific literature. It is safe to say that no other book about Hawaii surpasses it in fascination. Much of the charm of Isabella's writing is due to her use of personal letters for conveying her her experiences and her impressions. The thirty one letters that compose the book were written to her beloved sister Henrietta, who dutifully stayed at home in Edinburgh to take care of the household while Isabella was away on her travels.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book is an authentic record of daily life in Hawaii in the late nineteenth century. It describes a life style during the brief reign of King Lunalilo, not too may years before the sad reign of Queen Liliuokalani ended her dethronement by revolution. Isabella Bird met royalty, missionaries, cowboys, and ordinary, everyday Hawaiians. It is fortunate that she left such a vivid narrative of her Hawaiian Interlude.＜/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。 | 1,326円 |

 Paul Laurence Dunbar The Life and Times of a Caged Bird【電子書籍】[ Gene Andrew Jarrett ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The definitive biography of a pivotal figure in American literary history＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A major poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872?1906) was one of the first African American writers to garner international recognition in the wake of emancipation. In this definitive biography, the first full-scale life of Dunbar in half a century, Gene Andrew Jarrett offers a revelatory account of a writer whose Gilded Age celebrity as the “poet laureate of his race” hid the private struggles of a man who, in the words of his famous poem, felt like a “caged bird” that sings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jarrett tells the fascinating story of how Dunbar, born during Reconstruction to formerly enslaved parents, excelled against all odds to become an accomplished and versatile artist. A prolific and successful poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and Broadway librettist, he was also a friend of such luminaries as Frederick Douglass and Orville and Wilbur Wright. But while audiences across the United States and Europe flocked to enjoy his literary readings, Dunbar privately bemoaned shouldering the burden of race and catering to minstrel stereotypes to earn fame and money. Inspired by his parents’ survival of slavery, but also agitated by a turbulent public marriage, beholden to influential benefactors, and helpless against his widely reported bouts of tuberculosis and alcoholism, he came to regard his racial notoriety as a curse as well as a blessing before dying at the age of only thirty-three.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beautifully written, meticulously researched, and generously illustrated, this biography presents the richest, most detailed, and most nuanced portrait yet of Dunbar and his work, transforming how we understand the astonishing life and times of a central figure in American literary 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。 | 3,310円 |

 Somewhere Beyond the Body Where Life Is Lived in Translucent Language【電子書籍】[ T. P. Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞God designed us to experience human life in a material physical body, using our five senses. He called it good. However, we are also creatures who experience the non-material, non-physical gifts of soul and spirit. Beyond the brain lies the human mind with its ability to think, even abstractly; we can reason and are moral beings. We experience a myriad of emotions while living within relationships with God, ourselves, others, and the world we live in. The Lord also calls this aspect of humanity good. Somewhere Beyond the Body attempts to not only explore the non-material nature of soul and spirit, but challenges at times the current secular notion that humans are just physical beings with higher brain power than other creatures. We even see how the art and craft of poetry reflects this side of our nature.＜/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。 | 1,592円 |
