Exil ? Transfer ? Gedaechtnis / Exil ? Transfert ? M?moire Deutsch-franzoesische Blickwechsel / Regards crois?s franco-allemands【電子書籍】[ Marion Picker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Die Beitr?ge dieses Bandes verbindet die ?berzeugung, dass die deutsch-franz?sischen Verh?ltnisse nicht in Begriffen wie Identit?t und Differenz abgehandelt werden k?nnen. Ihre Analysen zeigen, wie sich das Exil in eine begr??te Lebensform verwandeln, mit Mobilit?t verschwimmen und sogar Verbrecher sch?tzen kann. Anstatt mit ≪Transfer≫ ?konomische Tauschprozesse zu beschreiben, betonen sie Komponenten von transkulturellen ?bertragungen wie Schwellenbewusstsein und Zeugenschaft.<br /> Die von Marion Picker und Dorothee Kimmich versammelten Beitr?ge ehren den deutsch-franz?sischen Germanisten Thomas Keller. Dorothee Kimmich und Thomas Keller haben gemeinsam den Studiengang Interkulturelle Deutsch-Franz?sische Studien (Aix-en-Provence ? T?bingen) betreut.<br /> Une commune conviction unit les dix-sept contributions ici pr?sent?es : refuser d’appr?hender les interactions franco-allemandes en termes d'identit? et de diff?rence. Leurs analyses montrent comment l'exil peut se transformer en mode de vie appr?ci?, transiter vers la mobilit?, et assurer l’asile, non seulement aux r?fugi?s mais aux fugitifs en g?n?ral. Elles s’attachent aux transmissions transculturelles asym?triques en valorisant le seuil, le garant et le d?placement. De la f?condit? de la distance. Les contributions de ce recueil, rassembl?es par Marion Picker et Dorothee Kimmich, honorent les travaux du germaniste franco-allemand Thomas Keller, qui a dirig? avec celle-ci le cursus int?gr? ≪ Aire Interculturelle Franco-Allemande ≫ (Aix-en-Provence ?

Some Lonesome Picker: The Music of John Stewart Musicians of Note【電子書籍】[ Robert F. Reynolds ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The son of a Southern California horse trainer, John Stewart was a songwriter/musician of incredible talent. He grew up idolizing Elvis Presley. But along came the Kingston Trio and by age 20, Stewart became the Trio's fourth member when Dave Guard left the group. Stewart and his futre wife, Buffy Ford, joined Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign, only to have it cut short when an assassin's bullet took out Kennedy. Shortly, Stewart's classic solo album, California Bloodlines, came out to critical acclaim. His music was an eclectic blend of folk and country, with an occasional dash of rock tossed in. His sound became known as "Americana." He sang of common folks and common places, historical and cultural events. Although seldom recognized outside the music industry, Stewart scored top hits as a member of the Kingston Trio and as a solo artist. He composed the Monkees' number one pop hit, "Daydream Believer," and Rosanne Cash's number one country hit, "Runaway Train." No slouch at rock, Stewart's recording of "Gold" became number five on the pop charts. His accompanying LP reached number ten. His more than 650 songs varied widely. He sang of "Omaha Rainbows," "Missouri Birds," "Chilly Winds," loners like "Willard" and "Some Lonesome Picker," gypsy girls named Shannon, driving racehorses stone blind, his beloved "Mother Country," and countless more memorable tunes. Raw, gritty, poignant...</p> <p>Dreamer, poet, cultural narrator, and legendary singer/musician, John Coburn Stewart - the "Lonesome Picker."</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。 750円

Enduring Years A Migrant Cotton Picker’S Memoir【電子書籍】[ Dr. Gloria Griffin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Emancipation Proclamation signaled an end to oppression for some, but not necessarily an end to depression. Many former slaves remained in the South, where they and generations to follow supplied the labor for the cotton industry. Working in the cotton fields was their vocation; it was what was expected of them by others and themselves. Even into the twentieth century, working in the cotton fields was a major means for some African Americans in the South to provide the family livelihood. But it was not an easy life. In Enduring Years, Billie G. Griffin, a migrant cotton picker, opens the files of his life. A compilation of stories about his life as a survivor during rough times, this memoir picks up where the slave narratives of Oklahoma leave off. It provides a raw and rare glimpse into the life of a sharecropper as it shares how Billie and his family endured decades of crushing poverty, discrimination, and segregation in America, the South, and Oklahoma. It tells how sharecroppers weathered the harshest conditions since the end of slavery and how they tried to carve out a sustainable life and a promise of a better future for their children. Praise for Enduring Years Enduring Years: Migrant Cotton Pickers Memoir offers a slice of history regarding the life and times of the migrant cotton picker. It is thought-provoking reading with a creative flair. Dr. Mary E. Carey, coauthor of When Words Are Not Enough: Strategies for Caregivers of Persons with Dementia</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。 468円

In Spite of the Headwinds From Waste Picker to Senior Executive【電子書籍】[ Samuel Moody Santos ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Samuel Santos is the epitome of corporate America from his tailored suit to his polished loafers, and gold watch on his left wrist. You would never think that this former executive of a Fortune 500 company spent his formidable years wading through trash on the streets of Brazil. Now, Santos shares how he grew in business and faith with his memoir “In Spite of the Headwinds: My Journey from Waste Picker to Senior Executive.”</p> <p>“In Spite of the Headwinds” chronicles Santos’ rise from lowly waste picker to an accomplished 40-year career at Johnson & Johnson. Santos discusses his poverty-stricken upbringing and determination to provide for both himself and his family. He shares his personal story of venturing into manhood, when he leaves his family to obtain an education and find a profitable job that will help provide for those he left behind.</p> <p>His journey to personal and professional success is hindered by moments of discrimination and familial toils. Nonetheless, Santos remains focused on his business goals and his steadfast Christian convictions.</p> <p>“In Spite of Headwinds is a unique blend of faith, work in corporate business and diversity,” Santos said. “At times, all I had was my faith as reliance to succeed and move me forward into a better environment ? both personally and professionally. You dictate your own path, so long as you trust in God, while embracing courage and perseverance.”</p> <p>Santos’ story is one of hope, belief, and determination, demonstrating how one’s humble beginnings do not determine their future.</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。 452円

Vernacular Verse Histories in Early Medieval England and Francia The Bard and the Rag-picker【電子書籍】[ Catalin Taranu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In a provocative take on Germanic heroic poetry, Taranu reads texts like <em>Beowulf</em>, <em>Maldon</em>, and the <em>Waltharius</em> as participating in alternative modes of history-writing that functioned in a larger ecology of narrative forms, including Latinate Christian history and the biblical epic. These modes employed the conceit of their participating in a tradition of oral verse for a variety of purposes: from political propaganda to constructing origin myths for early medieval nationhood or heroic masculinity, and sometimes for challenging these paradigms. The more complex of these historical visions actively meditated on their own relationship to truthfulness and fictionality while also performing sophisticated (and often subversive) cultural and socio-emotional work for its audiences. By rethinking canonical categories of historiographical discourse from within medieval textual productions, <em>Vernacular Verse Histories in Early Medieval England and Francia: The Bard and the Rag-Picker</em> aims to recover a part of the wide array of narrative poetic forms through which medieval communities made sense of their past and structured their socio-emotional 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。 7,343円

The Grape Picker【電子書籍】[ Lucia Cristinoiu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The story with the title The Grape Picker was the main reason that I wrote this book. It is the story of an accidental trauma of a small child, misdiagnosed as child abuse. Witnessing the painful experience that the child's parents had to go through (the accident itself, the accusations against them, ACS involvement with subsequent placement of the child in foster care, the need to go in court), I came out with some conclusions. The doctors that are dealing with situations like that must have certain qualities: they have to be less opinionated, more flexible, on top of being very knowledgeable. If they remember the Hippocratic Oath, it will also be very helpful (particularly the part of not to be ashamed when you don't know how to solve a case and call for other colleagues help when their skills are needed). It also affected me very much because the child was my patient. My hope is that mistakes like the one described in my story will not happen anymore. For me, practicing pediatrics was like a bonus to my life. Working in this field has been interesting, challenging, and rewarding. It is occasionally sad, but more often, there were funny moments as this one. One day, a two-year-old boy needed to receive a vaccine. To distract him, I started to ask him questions: what his name was (Michael), his mother's name (Mama), his father's name (Mama calls him John), and my name (no answer). In the meantime, I had already administered the vaccine without him realizing it. Two days later, coming back to pick up a medical form, the moment he entered the office, he started to spell my entire name correctly and said it out loud. And then he added, "No shots!" Can you not laugh? He was only two years and two months old.</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。 1,134円

I highly recommend 'A Plan for Securing Observations of the Variable Stars' to anyone interested in astronomy, as it provides valuable insights into the methods and practices of observing and studying celestial phenomena.</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。 460円

Conspired【電子書籍】[ Lyn J Pickering ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Conspired is the incredible story of the calling up of the Beast of Revelation during the Second World War.<br /> Who or what changed Heinrich Himmler, "Reichsheini", from the self-effacing nonentity of the early years of the Nazi Party to the ruthless leader of the SS? What turned the young moraliser, a practicing Catholic, into a soulless monster?<br /> There was a legend attached to the Heilige Lance, the Spear of Longinus, a crude relic said to be that which pierced the side of Christーall who claimed it and solved its secret would hold the destiny of the world in his hands for good or evil. Heinrich Himmler contrived a way of obtaining the spear for himself using war as a cover for a most nefarious plot, counter-plot, and ultimate check-mate.<br /> Faced with mounting evidence of an emerging Fourth Reich, is there a Beast in Himmler's image, who is strengthening his grip on the globe? The end goal is identical to that of the SS but on a worldwide scaleーtotal control, the elimination of millions, the seizure of property, and slavery for the remainder of humanity under a powerful elite.</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。 300円
