 The Language of Power in the Simile “Like a Caged Bird” A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Assyrian Royal Lion Hunt and Sennacherib’s Military Campaign Against Hezekiah of Judah【電子書籍】[ Woo Min Lee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book presents a sociolinguistic study of the Assyrian royal lion hunt and military inscriptions and reliefs, focusing on Sennacherib's campaign against Hezekiah of Jerusalem in 701 BCE. Through a comparative analysis of the lion hunt imagery and Assyrian military tactics, it examines the goals, outcomes, and conflicting ideologies surrounding the campaign as depicted in both Assyrian sources and biblical texts. While much scholarly attention has centered on the biblical narrative, relatively little has been said about the role of Assyrian lion hunt motifs and their relationship to military rhetoric--particularly in the use of the simile "shut up/enclosed like a caged bird" (k?ma i??ur quppi esirsu). This academic imbalance has led to a limited, and potentially biased, understanding of the campaign. By drawing on a broader spectrum of Assyrian cultural expressions--including royal hunting practices and military records--this book opens the door to a more comprehensive and nuanced discussion of Sennacherib's campaign against Judah.＜/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。 | 4,378円 |

 Jesus and the Mysterious Gospel of the Kingdom Can You See the Bird’S Nest in My Mustard Tree?【電子書籍】[ Roger H. Grummer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Christians are always encouraged to share the good news of Gods kingdom and spread Christs gospel message. And today, the gospel message tells us the good news of a promised Messiah who has comea personal savior who has already saved us from the eternal consequences of sin. Yet when Jesus himself shared this gospel message, he had not yet suffered and died on a cross, nor had he risen from the dead.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jesus and the Mysterious Gospel of the Kingdom offers a contextual approach to understanding what Jesus meant by the gospel of the kingdom and how it will help believers discover fresh insights into what Jesus actually proclaimed during his time on the earth. With a knowledgeable, pastoral presentation, author and pastor Dr. Roger H. Grummer explains how it is not always easy for us to grasp what Jesus meant when he spoke about the gospel of his kingdomin fact, Jesus himself had to explain it to his own disciples. Since we live in a different time and culture than the people of Jesuss day, modern-day Christians can benefit from some clarification about the fuller meaning of his stories and teachings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Knowing how your own understanding of the gospel of the kingdom compares to Jesuss proclamations will help you to more easily see how the savior wants you to enhance your faith. And with this enhanced understanding and faith, all Christians can enjoy stronger and more intimate relationships with Christ.＜/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 |
 Lost Teens Lost Faith A Guide to Engaging the Souls of the Next Generation【電子書籍】[ Derek Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜＞Commonly, previous generations of Christian culture emphasize issues that were pertinent to them, and they teach key doctrinal concepts while neglecting that which is essential to the healthy development of a Christian teen. In his book, Bird encourages a balanced approach while exploring faith issues most relevant to teens as they approach the years when theyre forced to grapple with enormous decisions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞More specifically, he uncovers an innovative way to think about Gods purpose for an individuals life (which has the potential to not only affect the way teens approach life, but may also challenge parents and leaders to re-prioritize their own schedules), and then goes on to uncover a biblically based model for understanding Gods will, which happens to be conveniently situated at the center of his purpose for humanity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At a time when its more common for a teen to walk away from the faith than it is for them to remain engaged, Lost Teens, Lost Faith provides relevant dialogue generated out of Birds experience and his deep desire to see the reversal of this tragic trend. What he uncovers and passes along provides parents with the necessary foundation to lead their children through some of lifes greatest challenges. Birds scripturally inspired ideas give parents and teens a framework to begin a conversation of eternal importance.＜/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。 | 660円 |

 The Wizard, the Egg and Fitcher’s Bird Returning Spiritual Life to Nature in the Individuation of Women【電子書籍】[ Laurel Howe ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The animus remains a baffling, misunderstood force in women’s psychology, but the fairytale “Fitcher’s Bird” brings his ambivalent, wizardly power and his psychic aims as the spirit of individuation into view, reaching into rich alchemical symbolism to do so. The tale and its alchemical background are illuminated with dreams and psychic images from several women’s lives, whose stories help us understand the profound personal and archetypal value of engaging creatively with the animus.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Like the alchemical nature God, Mercurius, the animus is a life force, an archetype with two sides. His negative side is symbolized in “Fitcher’s Bird” by a wizard’s longtime ability to abduct maidens from their parental homes with barely a touch by dressing as a beggar and appealing to their charity. He displays a perverse dominance over the feminine that has built up in our traditional attitudes over the millennia and takes hold of women through their own participation in those attitudes. Taking them to his great house in the forest, the wizard promises young women riches for their obedience. But the maidens, like the wives of Bluebeard, predictably enter the one forbidden room and end up slaughteredーin “Fitcher’s Bird” they are hewn limb from limb.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Only one maiden is clever enough to pay attention to the gift the wizard’s positive side offersーa simple egg, symbolizing the process of individuation when an ego nurtures a relationship with the unconscious. Switching her focus to the egg, the heroine redeems her sisters and at the end of the tale makes an appearance as the wondrous Fitcher’s birdーan image for the archetypal feminine redeemed from dismemberment and disappearance.＜/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。 | 1,657円 |
 The Disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa【電子書籍】[ Pete Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞'The Irishman' is a great film. OK, so at almost three and a half hours running time it's a tad on the long side. But with stars like Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro working under the direction of Martin Scorsese, those hours are bound to pass quickly, and with, if not exactly enjoyment (it's not that kind of film), then certainly plenty of interest.＜br /＞ But for all the qualities of the movie, we should not lose sight that its primary purpose is as a piece of public entertainment. In terms of relating the true story of Jimmy Hoffa, some of its story lines can be taken with a liberal pinch of salt.＜br /＞ What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa, the controversial union leader who straddled the lines between the Mafia and the blue collar world? Is he really buried under a football goalpost or was he chopped into pieces and thrown to sea?

 【古本】 The Snoring Bird: My Family's Journey Through a Century of Biology - Bernd Heinrich (Ecco) 【紙書籍】 9780060742157 Roundabout Books | タイトル: The Snoring Bird: My Family's Journey Through a Century of Biology著者: Bernd Heinrich出版社: Ecco出版日: 2007年05月15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。From Bernd Heinrich, the bestselling author of Winter World, comes the remarkable story of his father's life, his family's past, and how the forces of history and nature have shaped his own life. Although Bernd Heinrich's father, Gerd, a devoted naturalist, specialized in wasps, Bernd tried to distance himself from his "old-fashioned" father, becoming a hybrid: a modern, experimental biologist with a naturalist's sensibilities.In this remarkable memoir, the award-winning author shares the ways in which his relationship with his father, combined with his unique childhood, molded him into the scientist, and man, he is today. From Gerd's days as a soldier in Europe to the family's daring escape from the Red Army in 1945 to the rustic Maine farm they came to call home, Heinrich relates it all in his trademark style, making science accessible and awe-inspiring. | 4,098円 |
 On the Road with Francis of Assisi A Timeless Journey Through Umbria and Tuscany, and Beyond【電子書籍】[ Linda Bird Francke ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞On the Road with Francis of Assisi＜/strong＞ offers a unique and lively travelogue of parallel journeys: that of Francis of Assisi on his way to sainthood in the thirteenth century, and that of author Linda Bird Francke, who followed his path through the beauty of central and coastal Italy?and even on to Egypt.Francke tells the compelling story of Saint Francis through the many places he visited. She and her husband, Harvey Loomis, used as their guidebooks medieval texts, including the first official biography of the saint, completed in 1229, just three years after he died. Theirs was not a spiritual journey but one based on admiration for a man whose legend continues to inspire and fascinate millions around the world. From Assisi?a small Umbrian town that now draws two million visitors a year, making it second only to Rome as an Italian pilgrimage destination?Saint Francis crisscrossed Italy for twenty years. And so too does the author travel through the “green heart” of Italy to such hill towns and cities as Siena, Bologna, Venice, Gubbio, and Rome, and to the many mountaintop Franciscan sanctuaries from La Verna and Le Celle di Cortona in Tuscany to the Rieti Valley.Along the way, Francke movingly depicts the many miracles Francis performed and draws us into the splendid beauty of the landscape that inspired the saint’s love for nature and regard for all living things. Unlike Francis, however, whose asceticism caused him to add ashes to his food to deaden its earthly pleasure, Francke and her husband indulge in the fabled Umbrian cuisine, from wild boar to the region’s famed black truffles, and the incomparable local wines.＜strong＞On the Road with Francis of Assisi＜/strong＞ embraces the spirit and person of its legendary subject, and invites the reader to marvel at his spiritual intensity and follow in his footsteps through the timeless beauty of Italy.＜/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。 | 777円 |
 Letters from an Early Bird The Life & Letters of Denys Corbett Wilson 1882?1915【電子書籍】[ Donal MacCarron ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is the story of an early pioneer aviator who took to the air just a few years after the Wright Brothers proved that man was capable of controlled powered flight. Corbett Wilson (CW) was the only son of a wealthy family and was educated at Eaton from 1896 to 1899. He was commissioned into the Dorset Regiment and served in the South African War, by the end of which he had transferred to the Royal Artillery and became a Lieutenant in 1908. CW enrolled at the Bleriot Flying School at Pau in southern France and upon gaining his wings purchased a Bleriot XI aeroplane. Later he flew from Hendon Aerodrome and from there he made the first flight across the Irish Sea. When World War I loomed CW joined the military division of the newly formed Royal Flying Corps and in August 1914 he took off from Dover for France with No. 3 Squadron. It is this point that the vividly written letters sent to his mother give an enthralling insight into the developing war and the early military use of aircraft in battle. He lasted just ten months before being shot down by enemy flack on 15 May 1915.＜/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。 | 10円 |

 Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird The Art of Eastern Storytelling【電子書籍】[ Henry Lien ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens readers’ minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it canーand shouldーencompass diverse structures, themes, and values.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using examples ranging from ＜em＞Parasite＜/em＞ to ＜em＞The Thousand and One Nights＜/em＞ to the ＜em＞Mario＜/em＞ video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (＜em＞kishotenketsu＜/em＞), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. ＜em＞Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird＜/em＞ is essential reading for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.＜/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。 | 2,519円 |
 The Annals of Fort Lee【電子書籍】[ Roy Bird Cook ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Fort Lee was built in 1788 on the site of what is now Charleston, West Virginia, at the junction of the Kanawha River and the Elk River. It is named for Virginia Governor Henry (Light Horse Harry) Lee, and played a great part in the Indian wars of that area until they came to an end in 1794. The fort was established by a group of men led by the Clendenin brothers George and William, for whose father Charles the city of Charleston was later named. The fort's early history was fraught with difficulties getting lead, powder and pay (with the capital at Richmond being far away over the mountains), but it contributed to an organized system of defense to stop the Indian raids from driving the settlers from their homes. The book discusses George Washington, who owned property nearby, and Daniel Boone, who was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the Kanawha and took up residence quite near the fort. Readers will learn of "Mad Ann Bailey," who carried powder unmolested by Indians because they thought her insane, and others whose determination aided frontier defense. Following Mad Anthony Wayne's success against the Indians on the western border, Fort Lee ceased to have any connection with the Virginia military system by the end of 1795, and became simply a residence in Charleston. The fort building was subsequently moved a couple of times and was finally consumed by fire in 1891, except for a couple of logs from which souvenirs were made.-Print ed.＜/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。 | 301円 |

People have been＜br /＞ given a map for happiness and meaning, unfortunately＜br /＞ it’s a misprinted one, thus they have been＜br /＞ looking in the wrong place without true results. I have＜br /＞ discovered the real treasure map, and peace＜br /＞ beyond understanding is attainable.＜/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。 | 1,408円 |

 Dressing In Feathers The Construction Of The Indian In American Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ S. Elizabeth Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞One hundred members of NatChat, an electronic mail discussion group concerned with Native American issues, responded to the recent Disney release Pocahontas by calling on parents to boycott the movie, citing its historical inaccuracies and saying that "Disney has let us down in a cruel, irresponsible manner." Their anger was rooted in the fact that, although Disney had claimed that the film's portrayal of American Indians would be "authentic," the Pocahontas story the movie told was really white cultural myth. The actual histories of the characters were replaced by mythic narratives depicting the crucial moments when aid was given to the white settlers. As reconstructed, the story serves to reassert for whites their right to be here, easing any lingering guilt about the displacement of the native inhabitants. To understand current imagery, it is essential to understand the history of its making, and these essays mesh to create a powerful, interconnected account of image creation over the past 150 years. The contributors, who represent a range of disciplines and specialties, reveal the distortions and fabrications white culture has imposed on significant historical and current events, as represented by treasured artifacts such as photographic images taken of Sitting Bull following his surrender, the national monument at the battlefield of Little Bighorn, nineteenth-century advertising, the television phenomenon Northern Exposure, and the film Dances with Wolves. Well illustrated, this volume demonstrates the complacency of white culture in its representation of its troubled relationship with American Indians.＜/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。 | 13,265円 |
