Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement...for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more.</p> <p>Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time-a couple of decades at most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness, to drive humanity to ruin. And there's another problem: A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other-and against their own kind -for their own unknown reasons.</p> <p>In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact...or else risk oblivion, and extinction-and the end of all things.</p> <p><strong>Old Man's War Series</strong><br /> #1 <em>Old Man’s War</em><br /> #2 <em>The Ghost Brigades</em><br /> #3 <em>The Last Colony</em><br /> #4 <em>Zoe’s Tale</em><br /> #5 <em>The Human Division</em><br /> #6 <em>The End of All Things</em><br /> Short fiction: “After the Coup”</p> <p><strong>Other Tor Books</strong><br /> <em>The Android’s Dream</em><br /> <em>Agent to the Stars</em><br /> <em>Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded</em><br /> <em>Fuzzy Nation</em><br /> <em>Redshirts</em><br /> <em>Lock In</em><br /> <em>The Collapsing Empire</em></p> <p>At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.</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。

The bulk of humanity's resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What's known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You'll serve your time at the front. And if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets.</p> <p><em><strong>Old Man’s War</strong></em> ー John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army, with only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight is far more difficult than he can imagineーand what he will become is far stranger.</p> <p><em><strong>The Ghost Brigades</strong></em> ー At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as another man's memories slowly surface, Jared begins to intuit the reasons for their betrayal. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity's mere military defeat.</p> <p><em><strong>The Last Colony</strong></em> ー Retired from his fighting days, John Perry and his wife, Jane, are pulled back into the political arena, and into the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.</p> <p><em><strong>Zoe’s Tale</strong></em> ー Zoe Boutin Perry: A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world.

Seventeen years old.</p> <p><em><strong>The Human Division</strong></em> ー The CU's secrets are known to all. Other alien races have come on the scene and formed a new allianceーan alliance against the Colonial Union. And they've invited the people of Earth to join them.

The Old Man; or, Ravings and Ramblings round Conistone A Journey of Introspection and Self-Discovery in the English Countryside【電子書籍】[ Alexander Craig Gibson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Old Man; or, Ravings and Ramblings round Conistone," Alexander Craig Gibson presents a richly textured examination of rural life in the Yorkshire Dales, blending elements of stream-of-consciousness narration with lyrical prose. The book captures the ramblings of an aging narrator who reflects on personal memories and local lore, revealing the profound connections between landscape and identity. Gibson'??s style intricately weaves humor and melancholy, evoking the wild, untamed beauty of Conistone while simultaneously inviting readers into the intimate thoughts of his protagonist, whose musings blur the lines between past and present. Alexander Craig Gibson was an influential figure in 19th-century British literature, drawing inspiration from his own experiences in the countryside, which informed his deep understanding of the human condition. His passion for nature and keen observations of the localized cultural landscape shine through in this work, making it a personal exploration as much as a social commentary. This book was influenced by Gibson'??s travels and interactions with the locals, allowing him to authentically capture their essence through his fiction. Readers seeking a profound and thoughtful exploration of rural England will find "The Old Man" a compelling addition to their literary repertoire. Gibson's evocative language and deep thematic explorations invite reflective engagement, making it an essential read for those interested in narratives that celebrate the intertwining of memory, place, and human connection.</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。

<p><strong>This colorful memoir brings the Texas frontier to life, from smuggling adventures to fighting in the Texas Revolution and serving as a Texas Ranger.</strong></p> <p>Having left Kentucky at nineteen, Noah Smithwick arrived in Texas in 1827 to seek his fortune in a "lazy man's paradise." He left in 1861, when his opposition to secession took him to California. Looking back at that time, blind and nearing ninety, Smithwick recounted the story to his daughterーand so came to be this invaluable memoir of "old Texas days."</p> <p>A blacksmith and a tobacco smuggler, Smithwick made weapons forーand fought inーthe Battle of Concepci?n. With Hensley's company, he chased the Mexican army south of the Rio Grande after the Battle of San Jacinto. Twice he served with the Texas Rangers. In quieter times, he was a postmaster and justice of the peace in little Webber's Prairie.</p> <p>Eyewitness to so much Texas history, Smithwick recounts his life and adventures in a simple, straightforward style, with a wry sense of humor. His keen memory for detailーwhat people wore and ate; how they worked and playedー vividly evokes life on the frontier.</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。

Aging, Duration, and the English Novel Growing Old from Dickens to Woolf【電子書籍】[ Jacob Jewusiak ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The rapid onset of dementia after an illness, the development of gray hair after a traumatic loss, the sudden appearance of a wrinkle in the brow of a spurned lover. The realist novel uses these conventions to accelerate the process of aging into a descriptive moment, writing the passage of years on the body all at once. Aging, Duration, and the English Novel argues that the formal disappearance of aging from the novel parallels the ideological pressure to identify as being young by repressing the process of growing old. The construction of aging as a shameful event that should be hidden - to improve one's chances on the job market or secure a successful marriage - corresponds to the rise of the long novel, which draws upon the temporality of the body to map progress and decline onto the plots of nineteenth-century British modernity.</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。

Speaking rhinos and puffins are no more unlikely than talking humans; and considering where all of our talk has gotten us (the brink of extinction), it is time we listened to our fellow creatures. They are funny, thoughtful, observant, and like the Hebrew prophets they point out the worst in us and elicit the best, giving straight talk of warning and of hope. In these pages a pigeon with travel anxiety, Geraldine the matter-of-fact Florida Cooter, Schmidt the twigfitter songbird, Mephistophelean alligators, vanishing bison of the prairies, and lions of Africa and Asia "hold . . . the mirror up to nature" and show us our unlikely and imperfect human face.</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。

His work has enduring brilliance and humanity." ーSusan Orlean, author of The Library Book</p> <p>Decades after struggling to understand math as a boy, Alec Wilkinson, a contributor to The New Yorker for over forty years, decides to embark on a journey to learn it as a middle-aged man.

Same Old Lion And The Exposure Of Stat Pad Arm【電子書籍】[ Samuel O. Leonard ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Immediately following the Season Of Combat, Mrs. Drof, the ruler of Hand Land, is feeling good about the mild to moderate success of her nation’s hero, Same Old Lion, who won nine out of sixteen battles against heroes from other nations for the second consecutive year. That’s because Same Old Lion has a track record of being one of the worst heroes in the Nations of Freedom and Liberty so his average to above average record in battle (which is directly related to the average to above average honor, glory and riches for the people of Hand Land) is a significant improvement.</p> <p>But Mrs. Drof’s Master of Hero Development, Quincy Roberts, isn’t satisfied. He believes that Same Old Lion can be a more powerful hero if his current Head Trainer, Sir James Decorum, is executed and replaced by Bushy Beard, a brilliant man from one of the most successful nations in the Nations of Freedom and Liberty. According to Quincy Roberts, Bushy Beard can help Same Old Lion to better use his underachieving superpower of Stat Pad Arm and that would lead to the most honor, glory and riches in Hand Land in over sixty years. Though Mrs. Drof loves Sir James Decorum, she agrees to Quincy Roberts’ plan in part because she recently invested the largest sum of money ever for any single superpower in the Nations of Freedom and Liberty just to keep Stat Pad Arm in Same Old Lion’s control.</p> <p>Because of Bushy Beard’s supposed incredible intellect, Same Old Lion trusts that he will see positive results once the next Season of Combat begins even though his training with Bushy Beard doesn’t go smoothly. He struggles with Bushy Beard’s bullying coaching style, Bushy Beard’s lazy work ethic and the increasing inconsistency of his Stat Pad Arm.</p> <p>Once the Season of Combat begins, Same Old Lion fights worse than he’s fought in the last ten years and the biggest reason for his failures is his constantly malfunctioning Stat Pad Arm. With depression, poverty and crime spreading throughout Hand Land as enemy heroes terrorize the peasants and plunder their goods, Same Old Lion, Mrs. Drof, Quincy Roberts and Bushy Beard must quickly find a way to get Same Old Lion’s Stat Pad Arm back on track. If they cannot, then this year’s Season of Combat won’t be worth saving, their people’s suffering will only grow worse and Mrs. Drof may be forced to take drastic measures.</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。

The Epic of Gilgamesh Two Texts: An Old Babylonian Version of the Gilgamesh EpicーA Fragment of the Gilgamesh Legend in Old-Babylonian Cuneiform【電子書籍】[ Stephen Langdon ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em><strong>“The Gilgamesh Epic is the most notable literary product of Babylonia as yet discovered in the mounds of Mesopotamia.”</strong></em><br /> The Gilgamesh Epic recount the exploits and adventures of a favorite hero and become the medium of illustrating aspects of life and the destiny of mankind. This Sumerian poems may be regarded as a confirmation of the statement that there are various traditions of the deluge apart from the Biblical one, which is perhaps legendary like the rest. This text (dating (circa 2100 BC) is often regarded as the first great work of literature.<br /> While credit should be given to Dr. Langdon for having made this important tablet accessible, Dr Albert T. Cay has shown that attention be called to his failure to grasp the many important data furnished by the tablet, which escaped him because of his erroneous readings and faulty translations. This new edition contains their complete texts (footnotes and commentaries included): (1) An Old Babylonian Version of the Gilgamesh EpicーOn the Basis of Recently Discovered Texts by Albert T. Clay and Morris Jastrow Jr. (2) The Epic of GilgameshーA Fragment of the Gilgamesh Legend in Old-Babylonian Cuneiform by Stephen Langdon.</p> <p><em>“Now with the tendency to attach to popular tales and nature myths lessons illustrative of current beliefs and aspirations, Gilgamesh’s search for renewal of life is viewed as man’s longing for eternal life. The sun-god’s waning power after midsummer is past suggests man’s growing weakness after the meridian of life has been left behind. Winter is death, and man longs to escape it. Gilgamesh’s wanderings are used as illustration of this longing, and accordingly the search for life becomes also the quest for immortality. Can the precious boon of eternal life be achieved? Popular fancy created the figure of a favorite of the gods who had escaped a destructive deluge in which all mankind had perished. Gilgamesh hears of this favorite and determines to seek him out and learn from him the secret of eternal life. The deluge story, again a pure nature myth, symbolical of the rainy season which destroys all life in nature, is thus attached to the Epic. Gilgamesh after many adventures finds himself in the presence of the survivor of the Deluge who, although human, enjoys immortal life among the gods. He asks the survivor how he came to escape the common fate of mankind, and in reply Utnapishtim tells the story of the catastrophe that brought about universal destruction. The moral of the tale is obvious. Only those singled out by the special favor of the gods can hope to be removed to the distant “source of the streams” and live forever. The rest of mankind must face death as the end of life.”</em></p> <p><strong>DYNAMIC TABLE OF CONTENT, FOOTNOTES AND INTERNAL LINKS</strong></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。

Constantinople: The Story of the Old Capital of the Empire【電子書籍】[ William Holden Hutton ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A word of introduction is necessary to explain the nature of this sketch of the history of Constantinople. It is the holiday-task, very pleasant to him, of a College don, to whom there is no city in the world so impressive and so fascinating as the ancient home of the C?sars of the East. It is not intended to supersede the indispensable Murray. For a city so great, in which there is so much to see, a guide-book full of practical details is absolutely necessary. For this I can refer the reader, with entire confidence, to Murray's Hand-bookーand to nothing else. But I think everyone who visits Constantinople feels the need of some sketch of its long and wonderful history. I have myself often felt the need as I wandered about the city, or spent a long evening, during the cold spring, in the hotel. I have endeavoured, as best I could, to supply what I have myself wanted. I do not pretend to have written a history of the city "from the earliest times to the present day" from the mass of original authorities of which I know something. I have used the works of the best modern writers freely, and I should like here, once for all, to express my obligations. I may venture to say that the list of books I here insert will be found useful by anyone who wishes to go further into the history than my little book is able to take him. The ordinary standard books are Professor Bury's edition of Gibbon; Mr Tozer's edition of Finlay's History of Greece; Professor Bury's History of the Later Empire; Von Hammer's History of the Turks; and the Vicomte de la Jonqui?re's sketch of the same subject. The authorities, in detail, for the history and topography of the city are admirably summed up in Herr Eugen Oberhummer's contribution to the Pauly-Wissowas Realencyclop?die der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, band iv., which can be purchased separately as a "Sonder-Abdruck." Among the books which I have found especially useful I must mention first Professor van Millingen's Byzantine Constantinople, The Walls, etc.; the Broken Bits of Byzantium, by Mrs Walker and the late Rev. C. G. Curtis, to whose kindness I owe very much, a book which is now very rarely to be met with, and ought certainly to be republished; Bayet, L'Art Byzantin; Kraus, Geschichte der Christlichen Kunst; Lethaby and Swainson, S. Sophia; Grosvenor, Constantinople; Paspates, The Great Palace of Constantinople. Among histories of particular periods there are none more useful than Pears' Conquest of Constantinople, and Mijatovich, Constantine the last Emperor of the Greeks. Among a mass of interesting and important articles I should like to note that on Les D?buts du Monachisme ? Constantinople, by M. Pargoire in the Revue des questions historiques, Jan. 1899. The texts of the original authorities may be read in the Bonn edition, and some of them, happily, in Professor Bury's admirable collection of Byzantine texts, of which I have found the three volumes already published most useful. I have referred in Chapter VII. to the work of Gyllius, to whom we owe much of our knowledge of the medi?val city</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Old Man in the Corner," Baroness Orczy introduces readers to a captivating collection of detective stories that epitomize the emergent genre of early 20th-century crime literature. Through the character of the enigmatic, armchair detective'??an unnamed old man who solves mysteries from his corner seat in a London caf√?'??Orczy combines sharp wit and keen observation with a narrative style that intersperses dialogue and deduction. Each tale unfolds with intricate plots, enticing readers into a realm of suspense and intrigue, reflecting the cultural fascination with crime-solving that defined the era following Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Baroness Orczy, a Hungarian-born writer and playwright, moved to England, where she became a prominent figure in the burgeoning world of detective fiction. Her experiences as an actress and her European upbringing enriched her storytelling, particularly her nuanced understanding of human psychology. Orczy's passion for mystery, coupled with her desire to elevate female protagonists within this traditionally male-dominated genre, culminates in this work, presenting a fresh and engaging perspective on crime and investigation. Highly recommended for enthusiasts of classic detective fiction and readers interested in the genre's evolution, "The Old Man in the Corner" is a compelling exploration of mystery that invites readers to engage their intellect alongside its perceptive protagonist.

Rostenkowski The Pursuit of Power and the End of the Old Politics【電子書籍】[ Richard E. Cohen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>This scrupulous political biography of Dan Rostenkowski follows his rise to power from modest origins in the Democratic ward politics of Chicago's Polish northwest side, through his national legislative triumphs, and ultimately to his criminal conviction and imprisonment for abuses of House practice. But the story offers much more than Rostenkowski's personal tragedy: it's a tale of the transformation of American political life, and of the fall of old-fashioned congressional politics. An insider's story. Anybody wanting to understand Congress and its place in American politics should read it. -Jim Wright. Masterful...not just a book on Rostenkowski; Cohen has spun the tale of the entire modern period of Congress. -Larry Sabato</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。
