 The Great Circus Train Wreck of 1918 Tragedy on the Indiana Lakeshore【電子書籍】[ Richard M Lytle ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞What really happened on the circus train in 1918? Read the story of this tragedy for the entertainment industry of the time. In the cool, pre-dawn hours on a June night in 1918, a train engineer closed his cab window as he chugged toward Hammond, Indiana. He drifted to sleep, and his train bore down on the idle Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus Train. Soon after, the sleeping engineer's locomotive plowed into the circus train. In the subsequent wreckage and blaze, more than two hundred circus performers were injured and eighty-six were killed, most of whom were interred in a mass grave in the Showmen's Rest section of Chicago's Woodlawn Cemetery. Join local historian Richard Lytle as he recounts, in the fullest retelling to date, the details of this tragedy and its role in the overall evolution and demise of a unique entertainment industry.＜/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。 | 1,760円 |
 Fighting the Flying Circus【電子書籍】[ Eddie Rickenbacker ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞One of the best first-hand accounts of air combat in World War I, by an American “ace of aces.” Eddie Rickenbacker had an extraordinary career: inventor, race car driver, fighter ace, Medal of Honor winner, and finally president of Eastern Air Lines. In this book he recounts how he achieved 26 confirmed kills in less than a year of combat on the Western Front, rising from the ranks to lead the famed “Hat-in-the-Ring” squadron. Early pilots had to contend with primitive engines, unreliable guns, no parachutes, no oxygen, and wings that could tear off in a dive. Just surviving was a daily challenge, and Rickenbacker saw many friends and comrades die through no fault of their own. In this book he unflinchingly explains all of the errors that he made in combat, and how he learned to become a better dogfighter. He also gives the reader a glimpse of the tremendous psychological pressure that came from being America's leading ace ? every previous holder had been shot down ? and from his own leadership style of leading from the front. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents and 17 photographs, maps, and combat illustrations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Table of Contents:＜br /＞ ? Foreword＜br /＞ ? Glossary＜br /＞ ? I.

 Look Up, Detroit! A Walking Tour of Grand Circus Park【電子書籍】[ Doug Gelbert ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the District of Columbia was designated to be the nation's capital there was no city. Building started from scratch based on a street plan drawn up by Pierre Charles L'Enfant that sent broad avenues radiating through circles and plazas. When Detroit was named the capital of the Michigan territory in 1805 before the new government could get up and running the entire settlement burned to the ground so it too was starting from scratch. Justice Augustus B. Woodward based his street grid for Detroit on L'Enfant's plan for Washington. Woodward ran all his streets from the central hub of Grand Circus Park.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Standing in Grand Circus Park one can turn and see the breadth of Detroit history from a post-Civil War era church to skyscrapers crafted in the early days of the automobile to the modern sports stadiums. But we are here to walk and so our walking tour will head down Augustus Woodward's spokes and circle Grand Circus Park more or less following his radial street plan...＜/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 |
 Music, Muscle, and Masterful Arts Black and Indigenous Performers of the Circus Age【電子書籍】[ Sakina M. Hughes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Before the heyday of the Chitlin Circuit and the Harlem Renaissance, African American performing artists and creative entrepreneursーsometimes called Black Bohemiansーseized their limited freedoms and gained both fame and fortune with their work in a white-dominated marketplace. These Black performers plied their trade in circuses, blues tents, and Wild West Shows with Native Americans. The era’s traveling entertainments often promoted the “disappearing Indian” myth and promoted racial hierarchies with Black and Native people at the bottom. But in a racial economy rooted in settler-colonialism and legacies of enslavement, Black and Indigenous performers found that otherness could be a job qualification. Whether as artists or manual laborers, these workers rejected marginalization by traveling the world, making a solid living off their talents, and building platforms for political and social critique. Eventually, America’s popular entertainment industry could not survive without Black and Native Americans’ creative labor. As audiences came to eagerly anticipate their genius, these performers paved the way for greater social, economic, and cultural autonomy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sakina M. Hughes provides a conceptually rich work revealing memorable individualsーlaborers, artists, and entrepreneursーwho, faced with danger and discrimination, created surprising opportunities to showcase their talents and gain fame, wealth, and mobility.＜/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。 | 3,044円 |
 Fighter Commands Air War, 1941 RAF Circus Operations and Fighter Sweeps Against the Luftwaffe【電子書籍】[ Norman Franks ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞An extensive history of the Royal Air Force's Circus offensive against Nazi Germany in World War II, by the author of ＜em＞Jasta Boelcke＜/em＞.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Following the Battle of Britain, the RAF started taking the air war to the Germans. A small number of bombers, escorted by large numbers of fighters, tried to force the Luftwaffe into battle. Much air combat ensued, but it was not until Germany invaded Russia in June, 1941, that operations were stepped up in an effort to take pressure off Stalin's Russian Front. Two major German fighter groups, JG26 and JG2, were, however, more than able to contain the RAF's operations, generally only intercepting when conditions were in their favor. As author Norman Franks describes, over-claiming combat victories by pilots of both sides is amazing, and several of the top aces had inflated scores. Fighter Command, however, lost massively even though they believed they were inflicting equal, if not better, losses on the Luftwaffe. This battle of attrition was virtually a reverse of the 1940 battles over England, and pilots who had to bail out over France, were lost completely.＜br /＞ The book covers the 100+ Circus operations and their accompanying fighter sweeps in detail, while also mentioning lesser operations where the RAF were concerned. The tactics employed by both sides are examined and show how each fighter force quickly adapted to changing conditions tempered by experiences gained in air combat.＜/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。 | 1,921円 |

 Insane Clown President Dispatches from the 2016 Circus【電子書籍】[ Matt Taibbi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ BESTSELLER ? Dispatches from the 2016 election that provide an eerily prescient take on our democracy’s uncertain future, by the country’s most perceptive and fearless political journalist.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In twenty-five pieces from ＜em＞Rolling Stone＜/em＞ーplus two original essaysーMatt Taibbi tells the story of Western civilization’s very own train wreck, from its tragicomic beginnings to its apocalyptic conclusion. Years before the clown car of candidates was fully loaded, Taibbi grasped the essential themes of the story: the power of spectacle over substance, or even truth; the absence of a shared reality; the nihilistic rebellion of the white working class; the death of the political establishment; and the emergence of a new, explicit form of white nationalism that would destroy what was left of the Kingian dream of a successful pluralistic society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taibbi captures, with dead-on, real-time analysis, the failures of the right and the left, from the thwarted Bernie Sanders insurgency to the flawed and aimless Hillary Clinton campaign; the rise of the “dangerously bright” alt-right with its wall-loving identity politics and its rapturous view of the “Racial Holy War” to come; and the giant fail of a flailing, reactive political media that fed a ravenous news cycle not with reporting on political ideology, but with undigested propaganda served straight from the campaign bubble. At the center of it all stands Donald J. Trump, leading a historic revolt against his own party, “bloviating and farting his way” through the campaign, “saying outrageous things, acting like Hitler one minute and Andrew Dice Clay the next.” For Taibbi, the stunning rise of Trump marks the apotheosis of the new postfactual movement.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taibbi frames the reporting with original essays that explore the seismic shift in how we perceive our national institutions, the democratic process, and the future of the country. ＜em＞Insane Clown President＜/em＞ is not just a postmortem on the collapse and failure of American democracy. It offers the riveting, surreal, unique, and essential experience of seeing the future in hindsight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“Scathing . . . What keeps the pages turning in this so freshly familiar story line is the vivid observation and original turns of phrase.”＜em＞ーSan Francisco Chronicle＜/em＞＜/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。 | 916円 |

 Liar's Circus A Strange and Terrifying Journey Into the Upside-Down World of Trump's MAGA Rallies【電子書籍】[ Carl Hoffman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞"A brilliant, riveting, funny, terrifying journey into the beating heart of Trumpland."＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞ーLiza Mundy, author of ＜em＞Code Girls＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞In this daring work of immersive journalism, based on hundreds of hours of reporting, Carl Hoffman journeys deep inside Donald Trump's rallies, seeking to understand the strange and powerful tribe that forms the president's base.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hoffman, who has written about the most dangerous and remote corners of the world, pierced this alternate society, welcomed in and initiated into its rites and upside-down beliefs, and finally ushered to its inner sanctum. Equally freewheeling and profound, ＜em＞Liar's Circus＜/em＞ tracks the MAGA faithful across five thousand miles of the American heartland during a crucial arc of the Trump presidency stretching from the impeachment saga to the dawn of the coronavirus pandemic that ended the rallies as we know it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Trump's rallies are a singular and defining force in American historyーa kind of Rosetta stone to understanding the Age of Trump. Yet while much remarked upon, they are, in fact, little examined, with the focus almost always on Trump's latest outrageous statement. But who are the tens of thousands of people who fill these arenas? What do they see in Trump? And what curious alchemyーbetween president and adoring crowdーhappens there that might explain Trump's rise and powerful hold over both his base and the GOP?＜/p＞ ＜p＞To those on the left, the rallies are a Black Mass of American politics at which Trump plays high priest, recklessly summoning the darkest forces within the nation. To the MAGA faithful, the rallies are a form of pilgrimage, a joyous ceremony that like all rituals binds people together and makes them feel a part of something bigger than themselves. Both sides would acknowledge that this traveling roadshow is the pressurized, combustible core of Trump's political power, a meeting of the faithful where Trump is unshackled and his rhetoric reaches its most extreme, with downstream consequences for the rest of the nation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To date, no reporter has sought to understand the rallies as a sociological phenomenon examined from the bottom up. Hoffman has done just this. He has stood in line for more than 170 hours with Trump's most ardent superfans and joined them at the very front row; he has traveled from Minnesota to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Hampshire immersing himself in their culture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Liar's Circus＜/em＞ is a revelatory portrait of Trump's America, from one of our most intrepid journalists.＜/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。 | 2,080円 |

 The Big Top on the Big Screen Explorations of the Circus in Film【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Circuses and film are a natural pairing, and the new essays making up this volume begin the exploration of how these two forms of entertainment have often worked together to create a spectacle of onscreen alchemy. The films discussed herein are an eclectic group, ranging from early silent comedies to animated, 21st century examples, in which circuses serve as liminal or carnivalesque spaces wherein characters--and by extension audience members--can confront issues as far-reaching as labor relations, sensuality, identity, ethics, and more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The circus as discussed in these essays encompasses the big top, the midway, the sideshow and the freak show; it becomes backdrop, character, catalyst and setting; and it is welcoming, malicious or terrifying. Circus performers are family, friends, foe or all of the above. And film is the medium that brings it all together. This volume starts the conversation about how circuses and film can combine to form productive, exciting spaces where almost anything can happen.＜/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。 | 3,386円 |

Snyder ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Includes The Bombing Of Japan During World War II illustrations pack with 120 maps, plans, and photos＜br /＞ THIS IS the dramatic, uninhibited account of the human side of the air war in the Pacific and of the men who flew the Superforts, the B-29s of General Curtis LeMay's XXI Bomber Command, straight to the heart of Japan.＜br /＞ Earl Snyder was a navigator on the B-29 Umbriago-Dat's My Boy, and took part in the first B-29 raid on Tokyo. But, he recalls nervously, his crew didn't drop their bombs on the Japanese capital, because at 29,000 feet the air was so cold that the bomb-release mechanism had frozen. "Umbriago" made it back to the base at Saipan with the fuel gauges registering "less than empty."＜br /＞ This is not a biography of General LeMayーor "General Leemy," as the Japs called himーit's the story of the airmen who carried out his orders, flew the missions and lived or died without asking "too many questions."＜br /＞ General Leemy's Circus is a tribute to those men and, at the same time, an exciting record of their everyday lives. Writing with stark realism, Snyder hands the reader a share of the dangers and thrills, the devil-may-care, sometimes hilarious, adventures of men without women, and of the sordidness and the glory of air war.＜/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。 | 528円 |

 When the Circus Came to Town Flemington New Jersey and the Lindbergh Kidnapping Trial【電子書籍】[ James Davidson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Much has been written of the Lindbergh-Hauptmann Kidnapping Trial of 1934. This book examines what actually happened in the town of Flemington, New Jersey, a sleepy farm town that became, for a few months, the center of the universe. The first weekend of “The Trial of the Century,” the town saw 50,000 people arrive. Over 700 reporters were on hand as well as 150 photographers and countless sketch artists. Nellie’s Bar in the Union Hotel became a landmark for those who got to drink there while prostitutes roamed the streets, paying newsboys tips for “Johns.” Every famous news writer and commentator of the day was there ? Adela Rogers St. Johns, Damon Runyon, Dorothy Kilgallen, Walter Winchell, Gabriel Heater, etc. This book examines what they wrote and what they said in their own words as well as colorful stories about each of them. Some of the most famous sketch artists and cartoonists of the times were also there and this book examines what they produced on a daily basis. Flemington, the trial and the times are shown in a light heretofore not described in other books.＜/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 |
 Corruption in America A Fifty-Ring Circus【電子書籍】[ Oguzhan Dincer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞How corrupt is the United States of America? While the US presents itself as an exemplar of democratic government and politics, many citizens see it as highly corrupt. In this book, Oguzhan Dincer and Michael Johnston explore corruption across a range of policy areas in all fifty states using two major forms of corruption ? legal and illegal ? via three proxy measures of corruption. They not only estimate the pervasiveness of such corruption in each state, but also compare and contrast their causes, consequences, and implications for contemporary issues including racial inequities, public health policy, and the environment, while also highlighting issues of citizen participation and trust in political processes. The book presents no reform toolkits or quick fixes for American corruption problems, but frames key challenges of institutional change and democratic political revival that can be used in the struggle to build a more just, and better-governed, society.＜/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。 | 4,688円 |
 Wisconsin Circus Lore【電子書籍】[ dorothy moulding brown ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Wisconsin Circus Lore presents a collection of stories and historical accounts documenting Wisconsin's central role in American circus history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Compiled by the Federal Writer's Program in the 1930s under Dorothy Moulding Brown's direction, this volume captures the era when Wisconsin towns like Delavan and Baraboo served as winter headquarters and launching points for major traveling circuses. The collection chronicles the operations of legendary shows including Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey, and numerous Wisconsin-based enterprises. Delavan emerged as an early circus capital where the Mabie Brothers established operations in 1847, followed by other prominent showmen who made the region their base for outfitting and organizing road shows. The book contains detailed accounts of circus elephants, from Romeo the "bad actor" who killed three men to gentle Annie at Madison's Vilas Park Zoo. Stories of tigers, lions, bears, and other menagerie animals illustrate both the dangers and humor of circus life. Performer profiles include Al and John Ringling, circus pioneer William C. Coup who invented the three-ring format and railroad circus transportation, renowned bareback rider Elise Dockrill, and "Popcorn George" Hall of Evansville. Beyond entertainment, these accounts document the practical aspects of circus operations: the complex logistics of moving shows by rail, the hierarchy of circus personnel from "razor-backs" to star performers, and the economic impact on small Wisconsin communities. The collection preserves firsthand memories of an industry that employed thousands and shaped popular entertainment across America. This Federal Writer's Program compilation represents both social history and folklore, capturing the voices of circus workers, townspeople, and performers who lived through the golden age of American circus. The stories range from tragic accidents to comic mishaps, revealing the human drama behind the spectacle that traveled from town to town across the continent.＜/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。 | 1,384円 |
 The Hartford Circus Fire Tragedy Under the Big Top【電子書籍】[ Michael Skidgell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Through firsthand accounts, interviews with survivors and a gripping collection of vintage photographs, author Michael Skidgell attempts to make sense of one of Hartford's worst tragedies. Almost 7,000 fans eagerly packed into the Ringling Brothers big top on July 6, 1944. With a single careless act, an afternoon at the "Greatest Show on Earth" quickly became one of terror and tragedy as the paraffin-coated circus tent caught fire. Panicked crowds rushed for the few exits, but in minutes, the tent collapsed on those still struggling to escape below. A total of 168 lives were lost, many of them children, with many more injured and forever scarred by the events. Hartford and the surrounding communities reeled in the aftermath as investigators searched for the source of the fire and the responsible parties.＜/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。 | 1,760円 |
 Liar’s Circus【電子書籍】[ Carl Hoffman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In this work of daring and immersive contemporary anthropology, Carl Hoffman, who has written about the most dangerous and remote corners of the world, journeys deep inside Donald Trump’s rallies seeking to understand the strange and powerful tribe that forms the president’s base.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book proceeds from the premise that Donald J. Trump's rallies are a singular and defining forceーa kind of Rosetta stone to understanding the Age of Trump. Yet while much remarked upon, the rallies are, in fact, little examined, with the focus almost always on Trump’s latest outrageous statement. But who are the tens of thousands of people who fill America’s stadiums and arenas? What do they see in Trump? And what curious alchemyーbetween president and adoring crowdーhappens there that might explain Trump’s rise?＜/p＞ ＜p＞To those on the Left, the rallies are a Black Mass of American politics at which Trump plays high priest, recklessly summoning the darkest forces within the nation. To the MAGA faithful, the rallies are a form of pilgrimage, a joyous ceremony that like all rituals binds people together and makes them feel a part of something bigger than themselves. Both sides would acknowledge that this travelling roadshow (the ＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞ reports there have been more than 550 ticketed campaign events since 2015) is the pressurised, combustible core of Trump’s political power, a meeting of the faithful where Trump is unshackled and his rhetoric reaches its most extreme, with downstream consequences for the rest of the nation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To date, no reporter has sought to understand the rallies as a sociological phenomenon examined from the bottom up. In 2019, Carl Hoffman began to do just this and embedded himself in the Trump rallies. He has stood in line for days with crowds of supporters; he has traveled across the country from Minnesota to Texas to Mississippi interviewing hundreds of attendees and immersing himself in their culture. A former contributing editor to National Geographic Traveler, Hoffman has travelled to 80 countries on assignment; he has written about cannibals in New Guinea, Mumbai’s railways (the deadliest in the world), and the indigenous tribes of Borneo. Now he trains his unique eye on his own country.＜/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。 | 2,374円 |
