 Good Arguments How Debate Teaches Us to Listen and Be Heard【電子書籍】[ Bo Seo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**“The rare book that has the potential to make you smarterーand everyone around you wiser.” ーAdam Grant＜/p＞ ＜p＞Two-time world champion debater and former coach of the Harvard debate team, Bo Seo tells the inspiring story of his life in competitive debating and reveals the timeless secrets of effective communication and persuasion**＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he’s not the only one. Far from it: presidents, Supreme Court justices, and CEOs are all disproportionally debaters. This is hardly a coincidence. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, Seo shows how the skills of debatingーinformation gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasionーare often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history, Seo teaches readers the skills of competitive debate, and in doing so shows how they can improve their communication with friends, family, and colleagues alike. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcom X to Artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives. Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at time when bad faith is all around, and our democracy seems so imperiled.＜/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。 | 790円 |
 Leo Fender The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World【電子書籍】[ Phyllis Fender ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Occasionally, the world produces one of those rare thinkers that alter the course of history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Disney reinvented entertainment, Einstein revolutionized science, Edison lit up our lives with the light bulb, Bell got the world talking with the telephone … and Fender revolutionized music.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you think about it, Leo Fender has influenced every person on earth today ? at least everyone who has ever heard a song.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Guitar Player Magazine＜/em＞ declared that Clarence Leo Fender is the father of the solid body guitar. Not only did he invent it, but Leo’s guitars were used by everyone from Elvis Presley, to Eric Clapton and from Jimmy Page to Jimmy Hendrix. Indeed, ＜em＞Rolling Stone Magazine＜/em＞ published a list of the world's top 100 guitarists, and 90 of them used one of Leo's guitars on stage, and the others used guitars that copied Leo's inventions and concepts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Leo Fender was shy, had one glass eye, and was nearly deaf. Yet, from the small town of Fullerton, California, he built an iconic worldwide empire that is worshiped by the rock stars themselves. The highest price ever spent for music memorabilia was not for Michael Jackson’s glove, original Beatles’ handwritten lyrics or even Elvis’ killer pantsuit. It was for a Fender Stratocaster, which sold for a staggering $2.7 million.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written by the wife of the late Leo Fender, for the very first time, this book provides a rare look into the wonderful mind and world of this quiet genius.＜/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。 | 1,172円 |

 Tag a novel【電子書籍】[ Barry Heard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞As a lad in the high country of eastern Victoria, Tag Wardell shows an extraordinary gift with animals: he is followed to school by his pets; his rapport with his horse, Dimble, becomes the talk of the district; and he even manages to befriend a mob of brumbies during an adventure with his schoolmates in the Dargo high plains.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Later, when he becomes a blacksmith, locals come to watch him at work, amazed at his ability to calm the meanest of nags.

On the convoy to Egypt, he is quickly singled out to help the distressed horses. Then, while on leave in Cairo, he meets Jill, a nurse, but their brief romance is cut short as Gallipoli looms.

 We Heard It When We Were Young【電子書籍】[ Chuy Renteria ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Most agree that West Liberty is a special place. The first majority Hispanic town in Iowa, it has been covered by media giants such as Reuters, Telemundo, NBC, and ESPN. But Chuy Renteria and his friends grew up in the space between these news stories, where a more complicated West Liberty awaits. ＜em＞We Heard It When We Were Young＜/em＞ tells the story of a young boy, first-generation Mexican American, who is torn between cultures: between immigrant parents trying to acclimate to midwestern life and a town that is, by turns, supportive and disturbingly antagonistic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Renteria looks past the public celebrations of diversity to dive into the private tensions of a community reflecting the changing American landscape. There are culture clashes, breakdancing battles, fistfights, ＜em＞quincean?eras＜/em＞, vandalism, adventures on bicycles, and souped-up lowriders, all set to an early 2000s soundtrack. Renteria and his friends struggle to find their identities and reckon with intergenerational trauma and racism in a town trying to do the same. A humorous and poignant reflection on coming of age, ＜em＞We Heard It When We Were Young＜/em＞ puts its finger on a particular cultural moment at the turn of the millennium.＜/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。 | 2,083円 |

Night Shyamalan＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his relatively young career, M. Night Shyamalan has achieved phenomenal commercial and critical success. His films ＜em＞The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs＜/em＞, and ＜em＞The Village＜/em＞ have grossed over $1.5 billion and reinvented the thriller genre.

But reporter Michael Bamberger obtained unprecedented access to Shyamalan during the tumultuous production of his film ＜em＞Lady in the Water＜/em＞, and in ＜em＞The Man Who Heard Voices＜/em＞ exposes the struggles and triumphs of this modern-day Hitchcock at work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From revising the screenplay to shooting on location and evaluating the crucial initial test screening, ＜em＞The Man Who Heard Voices＜/em＞ tracks all stages in the life of Shyamalan’s film. Bamberger delves into Shyamalan’s relationship with the actors and the studio (he moved from Disney to Warner Bros. for this film) while also profiling various players on set. The result is a fascinating insider portrait of creative geniusーand the real-life story behind a Hollywood thriller.＜/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。 | 1,265円 |

With more than 50 photos, plus dozens of links to bonus audio and video, each chapter is an immersive experience that grabs hold and does not let go.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stuart Watson spent his first career earning a living by talking. His whole identity was wrapped up in being a Peabody-award-winning investigative reporter. Then he turned 55 and got fired. He began to doubt himself. He flirted with suicide. To escape such dark thoughts, he began a five-year odyssey conducting dozens and dozens of interviews for a podcast, a book, and a film. Increasingly, those interview subjects were women. But all too often, Stuart interrupted or "mansplained" or flat-out argued. It didn't work. So gradually he learned how to stop talking over women and really listen to them. The result is this book and a podcast called ＜em＞ManListening＜/em＞, in which Stuart elevates the stories of a diverse group of strong women who bounced back.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞What She Said & What I Heard＜/em＞ is a memoir told through a series of profound moments where a woman said something that Stuart actually heard. He shifted and changed because in a moment, he really listened. This book is for broken people and the people who don't know how to hear them.

They were featured in ＜em＞Look＜/em＞ magazine’s special issue about the American family and received letters of support from around the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The couple navigated complex procedures to obtain a state-issued marriage license. Their ceremony was conducted by a Methodist minister in a friend’s tiny Minneapolis apartment. Wearing matching white pantsuits, exchanging custom-designed rings, and sharing a tiered wedding cake, Michael and Jack celebrated their historic marriage. After reciting their vows, they sealed their promise to love and honor each other with a kiss and a signed marriage certificate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Repercussions were immediate: Michael’s job offer at the University of Minnesota was rescinded, leading him to wage a battle against job discrimination with the help of the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union. The couple eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court with two precedent-setting cases.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Michael and Jack have retired from the public spotlight, but after four decades their marriage is still their joy and comfort. Living quietly in a Minneapolis bungalow, they exemplify a contemporary version of the American dream. Only now, with marriage equality in the headlines and the Supreme Court decision to make love the law of the land, are they willing to tell the entire story of their groundbreaking experiences. ＜em＞TIME＜/em＞ magazine listed the twenty-five most influential marriages of all time and included Michael and Jack, and they were recently profiled in a cover story in the Sunday ＜em＞New York Times.＜/em＞ Their long campaign for marriage equality and insistence on equal rights for all citizens is a model for advocates of social justice and an inspiration for everyone who struggles for acceptance in a less-than-equal world.＜/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。 | 2,990円 |

She writes about loss, pain, joy, love, fear, memories, and death. The poems, written over a four-year period, emerged from moments of silence. They give voice to that which otherwise might remain lost or hidden. They reflect her previously unexpressed emotions underlying life’s traumatic experiences. The voices within compelled her to bring them forth on her healing journey “A debut collection details the the way poetry can transform pain into hope and healing. The author is particularly good at demonstrating the way in which psychic pain lodges in the body how mental strife has physical effect . She makes readers feel the shortness of her breath and the churning in her gut. But even in such struggle, there is hope, and her verse also testifies to the possibility of recovery… Her moving book is an invitation a well - one those suffering from trauma would do well to accept…Touching poems that show reader both the storm and the calm that can follow.” ー Kirkus Review of Books “A soulful, well-written and sincere narrative uniting us all in our common vulnerability. The collection can be easily read in any order, each entry connected and yet able to stand alone. The writing speaks openly from one heart to another, leaving you in a better place at the end of the journey.” ー Kathryn Castelli＜/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。 | 552円 |

Walpole’s early educated was by a Governess until, in 1893, his parents decided he needed a better education and the young boy was sent to England.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He first attended a preparatory school in Truro followed by Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow in 1895, where he was bullied, frightened and miserable.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The following year, 1897, the Walpole’s returned to England and Walpole became a day boy at Durham School. His refuge was the local library and its books.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From 1903 to 1906 Walpole studied history at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and there, in 1905, had his first work published, the critical essay "Two Meredithian Heroes".＜/p＞ ＜p＞Walpole was also attempting to cope with and come to terms with his homosexual feelings and to find “that perfect friend”.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After a short spell tutoring in Germany and then teaching French at Epsom in 1908 he immersed himself in the literary world. In London he became a book reviewer for The Standard and wrote fiction in his spare time. In 1909, he published his first novel, ‘The Wooden Horse’ followed, in 1911, by ‘Mr Perrin and Mr Traill’. In early 1914 Henry James, in an article for The Times Literary Supplement, ranked Walpole among the finest of the younger British novelists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As war approached, Walpole’s poor eyesight disqualified him from service and so he worked, based in Moscow, reporting for The Saturday Review and The Daily Mail.

He explained they were “part of the Red Cross that does the rough work at the front, carrying men out of the trenches, helping at the base hospitals in every sort of way, doing every kind of rough job”.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During a skirmish in June 1915 Walpole rescued a wounded soldier; his Russian comrades refused to help and this meant Walpole had to carry one end of a stretcher, dragging the man to safety. He was awarded the Cross of Saint George. For his wartime work he was later awarded the CBE in 1918.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After hostilities ended Walpole continued to write and publish and began a career on the highly lucrative lecture tour in the United States.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1924 Walpole met Harold Cheevers, who soon became his constant companion and remained for the rest of his life; “that perfect friend”.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hollywood’s MGM studios, invited him in 1934 to write the script for a film of David Copperfield. Walpole also had a small acting role in the film.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1937 Walpole was offered a knighthood and accepted although Kipling, Hardy, Galsworthy had all refused. “I'm not of their class... Besides I shall like being a knight," he said.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His health was plagued by diabetes, made worse by the frenetic pace of his life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, CBE, died of a heart attack at his home at Brackenburn, on June 1st, 1941.

 I Heard You, Lord【電子書籍】[ Erline Dennis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞I Heard you, Lord, says author Erline Dennis, who is an earnest and attentive listener to God’s Word. The title poem, “I Heard You, Lord,” bespeaks the author’s profound faith in God. Hope emanates from the poem “The Cross,” and “Why, Mama?” records a crisis in faith after the death of the author’s mother. Soon, however, faith again runs deep in the verse “Outstretched Arms,” in which the poet writes: “O Lord, I know / That You see by day and by night. / Not ever letting even one / Out of sight.” The sight of a big spectacular cloud reminds her of the Second Coming of Jesus in the work titled “The Cloud in the Sky.” With inspiration and warmth, here are poems that clearly and directly share one’s celebration of faith.＜/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。 | 552円 |
 (Don't) Stop Me if You've Heard This Before and Other Essays on Writing Fiction【電子書籍】[ Peter Turchi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞＜strong＞(Don’t) Stop Me If You’ve Heard This Before＜/strong＞＜/em＞, Peter Turchi combines personal narrative and close reading of a wide range of stories and novels to reveal how writers create the fiction that matters to us. Building on his much-loved ＜em＞Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer＜/em＞, Turchi leads readers and writers to an understanding of how the intricate mechanics of storytellingーincluding shifts in characters’ authority, the subtle manipulation of images, careful attention to point of view, the strategic release of information, and even digressing from the (apparent) storyーcan create powerful effects.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using examples from Dickens, Chekhov, and Salinger, and Twain to more contemporary writers including Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, E. L. Doctorow, Jenny Erpenbeck, Adam Johnson, Mohsin Hamid, Jai Chakrabarti, Yoko Ogawa, Richard Powers, Deborah Eisenberg, Olga Tokarczuk, Rachel Cusk, and Colson Whitehead, Turchi offers illuminating insights into the inner workings of fiction as well as practical advice for writers looking to explore their craft from a fresh angle beyond the fundamentals of character and setting, plot, and scene.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While these essays draw from decades of teaching undergraduate and graduate students, they also speak to writers working on their own. In “Out of the Workshop, into the Laboratory,” Turchi discusses how anyone can make the most of discussions of stories or novels in progress, and in “Reading Like a Writer” he provides guidelines for learning from writing you admire. Perhaps best of all, these essays by a writer the ＜em＞Houston Chronicle＜/em＞ has called “one of the country’s foremost thinkers on the art of writing” are as entertaining as they are edifying, always reminding us of the power and pleasure of storytelling.＜/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。 | 2,083円 |
