 The Bird in the Box Exploring Love, Loss, and Redemption in the Heart of the Midwest【電子書籍】[ Mary M. Mears ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Bird in the Box," Mary M. Mears delves into the psychological and emotional complexities of confinement and freedom through the poignant metaphor of a caged bird. The narrative unfolds in a lyrical style, interweaving rich imagery with introspective prose, evoking a deep sense of longing and liberation. Mears expertly navigates themes of identity, isolation, and the innate human desire for connection, grounding her exploration in a contemporary context that resonates with readers grappling with their own personal struggles and societal constraints. Mary M. Mears, an established voice in contemporary fiction, draws upon her extensive background in psychology and social justice to craft this evocative tale. Her experiences working with marginalized communities have instilled in her a profound understanding of the nuances of the human condition, amplifying the emotional depth found within the characters of this novel. Influenced by her commitment to social themes in literature, Mears creates a space for dialogue about the constraints that society places on individuals and the hope that arises in the quest for authenticity. I highly recommend "The Bird in the Box" to readers who appreciate literature that marries style with substance. Mears' thoughtful prose not only engages but also stimulates reflection, making it a compelling choice for anyone interested in the depths of personal transformation and the resilience of the human spirit.＜/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。 | 150円 |

His affairs are being monitored by Mary V, the ranch owner's spunky daughter, who is slowly taking interest in Johnny.

 【古本】 Sadness Is a White Bird - Moriel Rothman-Zecher (Washington Square Press) 【紙書籍】 9781501176272 Roundabout Books | タイトル: Sadness Is a White Bird著者: Moriel Rothman-Zecher出版社: Washington Square Press出版日: 2019年02月12日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。**A Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist** **A National Jewish Book Award Finalist for Debut Fiction** In this "nuanced, sharp, and beautifully written" (Michael Chabon) debut novel, a young man prepares to serve in the Israeli army while also trying to reconcile his close relationship to two Palestinian siblings with his deeply ingrained loyalties to family and country. The story begins in an Israeli military jail, where--four days after his nineteenth birthday--Jonathan stares up at the fluorescent lights of his cell and recalls the series of events that led him there. Two years earlier: Moving back to Israel after several years in Pennsylvania, Jonathan is ready to fight to preserve and defend the Jewish state. But he is also conflicted about the possibility of having to monitor the occupied Palestinian territories, a concern that grows deeper and more urgent when he meets Nimreen and Laith--the twin daughter and son of his mother's friend. From that morning on, the three become inseparable: wandering the streets on weekends, piling onto buses toward new discoveries, laughing uncontrollably. They share joints on the beach, trading snippets of poems, intimate secrets, family histories, resentments, and dreams. But with his draft date rapidly approaching, Jonathan wrestles with the question of what it means to be proud of your heritage, while also feeling love for those outside of your own family. And then that fateful day arrives, the one that lands Jonathan in prison and changes his relationship with the twins forever. "Unflinching in its honesty, unyielding in its moral complexity" (Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author), Sadness Is a White Bird explores one man's attempts to find a place for himself, discovering in the process a beautiful, against-the-odds love that flickers like a candle in the darkness of a never-ending conflict. | 3,098円 |

 For Want of Wings A Bird with Teeth and a Dinosaur in the Family【電子書籍】[ Jill Hunting ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 1872, a young graduate of Yale University named Thomas Russell unearthed the bones of an 83,000,000-year-old dinosaur in western Kansas. The rare fossil, an avian dinosaur with teeth and flightless wings, proved that birds evolved from reptiles. More than a century later, Russell’s great-granddaughter set out to retrace her ancestor’s forgotten expedition. Part detective history, part memoir, ＜em＞For Want of Wings＜/em＞ is Jill Hunting’s captivating account of her journey into prehistory, national history, and family history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In her quest to piece together fragments of her family’s past, Hunting ends up crisscrossing the United States, from California to Connecticut. On her first trip across the Colorado Rockies to the fossil bed site near Russell Springs, Kansas, Hunting brings along her then twenty-six-year-old daughter. When the book opens, mother and daughter are both at crossroads, each seeking to understand the impact of personal decisions on the landscape of her life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Hunting ventures forward, she encounters unexpected resources, such as ten-year-old triplets who converse with her about dinosaurs and a Connecticut museum where portraits of her ancestors hang on the walls. Through lively descriptions of these visits, Hunting advances a view of history as nonlinear and full of unlikely coincidences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞For Want of Wings＜/em＞ is also the carefully researched story of the least known of Yale’s four expeditions into the American West, led by eminent paleontologist O. C. Marsh; the friendship between Russell’s father and abolitionist John Brown; a portrait of a mother and daughter evolving in self-understanding; and an inquiry into matters of race in American history and the author’s own family. In the end, all these pieces converge, like fragments of a fossil, to form an exquisitely patterned work of historical exploration.＜/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。 | 2,647円 |

 Ella Elgar Bird Dumont An Autobiography of a West Texas Pioneer【電子書籍】[ Ella Elgar Bird Dumont ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A crack shot, expert skinner and tanner, seamstress, sculptor, and later writerーa list that only hints at her intelligence and abilitiesーElla Elgar Bird Dumont was one of those remarkable women who helped tame the Texas frontier. First married at sixteen to a Texas Ranger, she followed her husband to Comanche Indian country in King County, where they lived in a tepee while participating in the final slaughter of the buffalo. Living off the land until the frontier was opened for ranching, Ella and Tom Bird typified the Old West ideals of self-sufficiency and generosity, with a hesitancy to complain about the hard life in the late 1800s.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yet, in one important way, Ella Dumont was unsuited for life on the frontier. Endowed with an instinctive desire and ability to carve and sculpt, she was largely prevented from pursuing her talents by the responsibilities of marriage and frontier life and later, widowhood with two small children. Even though her second marriage, to Auguste Dumont, made life more comfortable, the realities of her existence still prevented the fulfillment of her artistic longings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ella Bird Dumont’s memoir is rich with details of the frontier era in Texas, when Indian depredations were still a danger for isolated settlers, where animals ranged close enough to provide dinner and a new pair of gloves, and where sheer existence depended on skill, luck, and the kindness of strangers. The vividness and poignancy of her life, coupled with the wealth of historical material in the editor’s exhaustive notes, make this Texas pioneer’s autobiography a very special book.＜/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。 | 4,091円 |

 The Blue Bird for Children - Wonderful Adventures of f Happiness【電子書籍】[ Georgette Leblanc Maurice Maeterlinck ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞One of the strongest pieces of imaginative writing for children that the past decade has produced and one of the most delicate and beautiful of all times, is "The Blue Bird," by Maurice Maeterlinck, written as a play, and very successfully produced on the stage. Georgette Leblanc (Madame Maurice Maeterlinck), has rendered this play in story form for children, under the title "The Children's Blue Bird," and in this form it has now been carefully edited and arranged for schools. Maurice Maeterlinck was born in Ghent, Belgium, August 29, 1862. Although trained for the practice of the law and moderately successful in it, he very early became dissatisfied with the prospect of a career at the bar. In 1887, the young man moved to Paris and turned his attention to writing. Shortly after, at the death of his father, Maeterlinck returned to Belgium where he has since resided most of the time. His career as an author practically began in 1889, when he published two plays. At this time he was quite unknown, except to a small circle, but soon, because of his remarkable originality, we find him being called "The Belgian Shakespeare," and his reputation firmly established. Amidst his Belgian roses he continued to work and dream, and upon his youthful dreams he built his plays. They are all shadowy, brief transcripts of emotion, and illustrate beautifully his unity of purpose, of mood and of thought. Whether in philosophy, drama or poetry, Maeterlinck is exclusively occupied in revealing or indicating the mystery which lies only just out of sight beneath the ordinary life. In order to produce this effect of the mysterious he aims at extreme simplicity of style and a very realistic symbolism. He allows life itself to astonish us by its strangeness, by its inexplicable elements. Many of his plays are really pathetic records of unseen emotions.＜/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。 | 200円 |
 Billy Bird【電子書籍】[ Emma Neale ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Moving, insightful, lyrical and also at times very funny, this novel is a supple, disarmingly frank exploration of parenthood＜/strong＞. Liam and Iris have one son: Billy, a bright ‘toddler puddling about like a penguin, leaving surrealist art installations all over the houseー a tiny cow in a teapot in a hat on the doorstep, of course! A stuffed crocodile in a silk camisole perched beside a woollen chick in a beanie on the bread-bin, why not!’ Just as they are despairing about being able to conceive another child, Jason comes into their family. He arrives under fraught circumstances, but might just make a perfect sibling for Billy. Jason is a ‘ lovely, poor, sad, unfortunate, ordinary, annoying, delightful nuisance of a ratbag of a hoot of a kid ’ and the boys grow close over the ensuing years. But after a terrible accident, Billy turns into a bird. He utterly believes it: and as his behaviour becomes increasingly worrying, Liam and Iris must find a way to stop their family flying apart. When extracts of ＜em＞Billy Bird＜/em＞ won the NZSA Peter and Dianne Beatson Fellowship, the judges said the project was ‘inventive, joyful and beautifully written’. Ripe with playfulness, yet also unforgettably poignant, this novel will unstitch ー and then mend ー your heart several times 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。 | 2,122円 |

 Oppenheimer De triomf en tragedie van de vader van de atoombom【電子書籍】[ Kai Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞De Pulitzer Prize-winnende biografie van J. Robert Oppenheimer, directeur van het Manhattan Project en ‘vader van de atoombom’, die de inspiratie was voor de succesvolle film ＜em＞Oppenheimer＜/em＞ ?een geweldige, spannende combinatie van wetenschap, wereldgeschiedenis en politiek＜/p＞ ＜p＞J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was een briljant natuurkundige en directeur van het Manhattan Project: de geheime ontwikkeling van de atoombom tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De bombardementen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki maakten hem de beroemdste wetenschapper van zijn generatie en een van de meest iconische maar ook omstreden figuren van de twintigste eeuw. Dit boek volgt Oppenheimer vanaf zijn opleiding onder de bekendste fysici van zijn tijd, naar Berkeley, Californi?, waar hij de eerste Amerikaanse school voor theoretische natuurkunde oprichtte en nauw betrokken raakte bij verschillende links-activistische bewegingen, die ook veel communisten aantrokken. Vervolgens naar Los Alamos, New Mexico, waar hij een woestijnvlakte transformeerde in een kernwapenlaboratorium waarna hij de geschiedenis in ging als de vader van de atoombom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Na de oorlog nam Oppenheimer het hoogleraarschap aan Princeton over van Albert Einstein en werkte hij als politiek adviseur. In die rol maakte hij zich hard voor internationale controle op nucleair materiaal, verzet tegen de waterstofbom en tegen kernoorlog in het algemeen. Door die revolutionaire standpunten, in combinatie met zijn vermeende banden met het communisme, haalde Oppenheimer zich in de aanloop naar de Koude Oorlog de woede van invloedrijke nucleaire pleitbezorgers op de hals, onder wie atoomenergie-commissionair Lewis Strauss, waterstofbomontwikkelaar Edward Teller en FBI-directeur J. Edgar Hoover, die een hoorzitting organiseerden wegens de verdenking van landverraad.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Oppenheimer＜/em＞ is een meeslepend portret van een briljante, ambitieuze en complexe man wiens werk een vernietigend einde maakte aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog, en het begin vormde van de Koude Oorlog.

 The Bird That Stole Our Innocence【電子書籍】[ Edward Clark ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The fourth book in the Rod Gentry series. Ninety million dollars is at stake in Brevard County, Florida. The “good folks” trying to save a beautiful bird from extinction say that’s what it will cost to save it. To stop the bird’s habitat from being destroyed by development, buy up the land with tax money, or confiscate it through regulation. Who cares about the little landowners who worked the land for a lifetime? And why should we care about the people who will never come to our state because housing is too expensive? The new Florida resident unashamedly says, “I’ve got mine! To Hell with the rest of them!”, or the one born here who says “We don’t have room for any more people!” When did we get to the point of denying to our fellow Americans the opportunity of home ownership that we hold so dear for ourselves? Rod Gentry sets out to find the facts. Is the bird endangered? And where will the ninety million dollars come from? And where will it end up?＜/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。 | 614円 |

 Einstein's Theories of Relativity and Gravitation【電子書籍】[ James Malcolm Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The obstacles which the layman finds to understanding Einstein’s relativity theories lie not so much in the inherent difficulty of these theories themselves as in the difficulty of preparing the mind for their reception. The theory is no more difficult than any scientific development of comparable depth; it is not so difficult as some of these. But it is a fact that for a decent understanding of it, a large background of scientific knowledge and scientific habit of thought is essential. The bulk of the writers who have attempted to explain Einstein to the general reader have not realized the great gulf which lies between the mental processes of the trained mathematician and those of the man in the street. They have not perceived that the lay reader must be personally conducted for a long distance from the vestibule of the temple of science before he comes to Einstein, and that he cannot by any possibility make this journey unaided. The result has been to pitchfork the reader into the intricacies of the subject without adequate preparation. The present volume avoids this mistake with the utmost care. It avoids it, in fact, with such deliberation as to make it in order to say a word in explanation of what will at first glance seem an extraordinary arrangement of material. It was to be expected, doubtless, that this book would open with a brief statement of the genesis and the outcome of the Einstein Prize Essay Contest for the 5,000 prize offered by Mr. Eugene Higgins. It was doubtless to be expected that, after this had been dismissed, the winning essay would be given the post of honor in advance of all other material bearing actually on the Einstein theories. When the reader observes that this has not been done, he will by all means expect a word of explanation; and it is mainly for the purpose of giving this that we make these introductory remarks. The essays submitted in the contest, and in particular the comments of a few disappointed readers upon Mr. Bolton’s prize essay, make quite plain what might have been anticipatedーthat in the small compass of 3,000 words it is not possible both to prepare the reader’s mind for a discussion of Relativity and to give a discussion that shall be adequate. Mr. Bolton himself, in replying to a protest that he had not done all this, has used the word “miracle”ーwe think it a well-advised one. No miracle was expected as a result of the contest, and none has been achieved. But in awarding the prize, the Judges had to decide whether it was the best preliminary exposition or the best discussion that was wanted. They decided, and rightly we believe, that the award should go to an actual statement of what the Einstein theories are and what they do, rather than to a mere introduction, however well conceived and well executed the latter might be. Nevertheless, we should be closing our eyes to a very obvious fact if we did not recognize that, without something in the way of preparation, the general reader is not going to pursue Mr. Bolton’s essay, or any other essay on this subject, with profit. It is in order the more forcefully to hold out inducements to him to subject himself to this preparation that we place at the head of the book the chapters designed to give it to him.＜/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 |
