Rounding the Horn Being The Story Of Williwaws And Windjammers, Drake, Darwin, Murdered Missionaries And Naked Natives -- a Deck's-eye View Of Cape Horn【電子書籍】[ Dallas Murphy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For as far back as he can remember, Dallas Murphy has been sea-struck. Since he began to read, "besotted by salt-water dreams and nautical language," he studied the lore surrounding a place of mythic proportions: the ever-alluring Cape Horn. And after years of dreaming -- and sailing -- he finally made his voyage there. In this lively, thrilling blend of history, geography, and modern-day adventure, Murphy shows how the myth crossed wakes with his reality. Cape Horn is a buttressed pyramid of crumbly rock situated at the very bottom of South America -- 55 degrees 59 minutes South by 67 degrees 16 minutes West. It's a place of forlorn and foreboding beauty, one that has captured the dark imaginations of explorers and writers from Francis Drake to Joseph Conrad. For centuries, the small stretch of water between Cape Horn and the Antarctic peninsula was the only gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and it's a place where the storms are bigger, the winds stronger, the seas rougher than anywhere else on earth. <em>Rounding the Horn</em> is the ultimate maritime rite of passage, and in Murphy's hands, it becomes a thrilling, exuberant tour. Weaving together stories of his own nautical adventures with long-lost tales of those who braved the Cape before him -- from Spanish missionaries to Captain Cook -- and interspersed with breathtaking descriptions of the surrounding wilderness, the result is a beautifully crafted, immensely enjoyable read.</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。 1,548円

The American Speed Shop: Birth and Evolution of Hot Rodding Birth and Evolution of Hot Rodding【電子書籍】[ Bob McClurg ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The history of hot rodding and performance cars has been well chronicled through the years. Books and magazines have covered the cars, builders, pioneers, engineers, early racers, muscle cars, street racers, etc. Most take a nostalgic and fun look at the cars that many have loved their entire lives. Some even cover the lifestyle, the hobby as it involves people, and the effort, time, and commitment people put into it. It is more than just a hobby to most, and to many, a certain wave of nostalgia comes over them when remembering what the car scene was like "back in the day."</p> <p>The local speed shop is an important element of the nostalgic feeling that people have when fondly remembering their hot rodding youth. Speed shops were not just parts stores, they were a communal gathering place for car guys wanting to talk smart, bench race, and catch up on the local scene, as well as to solicit the expert advice from the owner or staff behind the counter.</p> <p>Here, longtime hot rodder and industry veteran Bob McClurg brings you the story of the era and the culture of speed shops as told through individual shop's histories and compelling vintage photography. He covers the birth of the industry, racing versus hot rodding, mail-order, and advertising wars. You learn about the performance boom of the 1960s and 1970s, lost speed shops as well as survivors, and a overview of the giant mail-order speed shops of today.</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。 5,540円

Reading the Glass A Captain's View of Weather, Water, and Life on Ships【電子書籍】[ Elliot Rappaport ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A sea captain’s beautifully written tour of our planet, our oceans, and our ever-changing atmosphere</strong></p> <p><strong>“An extraordinary book by a modern-day Melville.”ーMark Vanhoenacker ? “Immensely rewarding and entertaining.”ーLincoln Paine ? “Full of history, wisdom, and hilarious stories from life on the open seas.”ーDaniel Stone</strong></p> <p>What’s in a cloud? Did you know that water vapor is invisible and actually lighter than dry air? What separates a tropical storm from a winter blizzard? And what exactly is El Ni?o? Elliot Rappaport, a professional captain of traditional sailing ships, has spent three decades at sea, where understanding weather is crucial to the safety of vessels and their crews. In <em>Reading the Glass</em>, he offers a sailor’s-eye view of the moving parts of our atmosphere and unveils the larger patterns it holds: global winds, storms, air masses, jet streams, and the longer arc of our climate.</p> <p>Told through a series of tall ship voyages, Rappaport’s narrative takes readers from the icy seas of Greenland to the Roaring Forties, places where one can experience all four seasons in an hour. He navigates the turbulent waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, en route to storied port cities of the Mediterranean. In the vast tropical Pacific he crosses the equator, where heat, moisture, and unsettled winds churn out powerful squalls, and drops anchor in isolated ports of call. He explores wide swathes of ocean to explain how the trade winds have carried ships westward for centuries, and how ancient Polynesian explorers pushed back the other way, leveraging their mastery of waves and weather to achieve what may be humanity's greatest navigational achievement.</p> <p>Written in stunning prose, brimming with wisdom, curiosity, and humor, <em>Reading the Glass</em> brilliantly blends science and memoir to reveal how weather has shaped our oceans, our history, and ourselves.</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。 2,351円

Electric Flight Technology The Unfolding of a New Future【電子書籍】[ Ravi Rajamani ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The environmental impact of hydrocarbon-burning aircraft is one of the main motivations for the move to electric propulsion in aerospace. Also, cars, buses, and trucks are incorporating electric or hybrid-electric propulsion systems, reducing the pressure on hydrocarbons and lowering the costs of electrical components. The economies of scale necessitated by the automotive industry will help contain costs in the aviation sector as well.</p> <p>The use of electric propulsion in airplanes is not a new phenomenon. However, it is only recently that it has taken off in a concrete manner with a viable commercial future.</p> <p><em>Electric Flight Technology: Unfolding of a New Future</em> reviews the history of this field, discusses the key underlying technologies, and describes how the future for these technologies will likely unfold, distinguishing between all-electric (AE) and hybrid-electric (HE) architectures.</p> <p>Written by Dr. Ravi Rajamani, it covers the essential information needed to understand this new technology wave taking hold in the aerospace industry.</p> <p><em>Electric Flight Technology: Unfolding of a New Future</em> covers fundamental topics such as:</p> <ul> <li>The history of electric propulsion, including its evolution from using traditional electricity, to solar power to batteries as sources to sustain propulsion and flight.</li> <li>The various architectures being considered for electric aircraft, specifically small general aviation (GA) aircraft and larger business jets; single-aisle commercial aircraft; and larger twin-aisle commercial aircraft.</li> <li>The various systems and subsystems of an electric aircraft, along with how various subsystems in the vehicle can be integrated in a more optimal manner. In the future, the existing tube-and-wing configuration will not be the only available architecture; instead we will be more likely to find an architecture where the propulsion system is embedded within the airframe.</li> <li>The future trends in this arena and what we can expect to see in the next decade or so.</li> </ul>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。 13,567円

Northumberland (Slow Travel): including Newcastle, Hadrian's Wall & the Coast【電子書籍】[ Gemma Hall ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Part of Bradt’s distinctive, award-winning series of ‘Slow’ travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated, third edition of the best-selling Northumberland (Slow Travel) provides a reliable, wide-ranging, detailed and accessible font of inspiration and information for discovering the unexpected, varied and increasingly popular riches of northeasternmost England.</p> <p>Northumberland is much loved for its beaches, wildlife, islands and desolate upland scenery, but despite all the attention and accolades (‘most tranquil county’, ‘darkest night skies in England’, ‘best beaches’), most of the county remains wonderfully crowd-free. Getting away from it all is straightforward, whether you walk all afternoon over moorland and not meet anyone, skinny-dip in lakes, picnic on pristine sands with nobody else around, or gaze at stars in Europe’s largest area of protected night sky ? England’s first Dark Sky Park, a 572-square-mile expanse that now hosts an annual Dark Sky Festival.</p> <p>In Northumberland, history buffs have masses to explore. In addition to Hadrian’s Wall, Britain’s most important Roman monument ? along which footpaths, public transport, accommodation and eating options have recently improved greatly ? no county hosts more castles. Visit fortifications at Alnwick (Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films), Bamburgh (featured in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) and Dunstanburgh ? all of which are detailed extensively in the guide alongside lesser-known heritage sites such as Aydon Castle, the Iron Age hill forts of Breamish Valley, medieval tower houses, Bronze Age stone circles and landmark historic houses open to the public, including Cragside, Belsay and Wallington Hall.</p> <p>Northumberland (Slow Travel) encourages visitors to slow down and explore the green lanes, footpaths, rivers and cycle trails linking Northumberland’s coast with the interior’s heather-topped hills, Roman fortresses and the villages. Dedicated chapters celebrate the Northumberland National Park, Hadrian’s Wall, the Heritage Coast and Newcastle, while local insights about historic towns, heritage sites, wildlife-watching spots and some 30 countryside walks, plus words and tips from local experts make this an authoritative book ? as much an entertaining armchair read as a practical guide. The result is perfect for walkers, birdwatchers, cyclists, families, and anyone interested in Roman archaeology, industrial heritage and medieval castles.</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。 2,578円

A Journey to Katmandu (the Capital of Napaul), with the Camp of Jung Bahadoor Including a Sketch of the Nepaulese Ambassador at Home【電子書籍】[ Laurence Oliphant ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "A Journey to Katmandu (the Capital of Napaul), with the Camp of Jung Bahadoor," Laurence Oliphant blends travel writing with vivid ethnographic observations. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Nepal, this work encapsulates not only the landscapes and cultures Oliphant encountered but also the political intricacies of a region often overlooked by Western audiences. His eloquent prose, peppered with rich descriptions and introspective musings, establishes a literary tradition that bridges adventure and enlightenment, resonating deeply with the Romantic interests of his time. The narrative is not merely a geographical exploration but also a profound investigation into the sociopolitical issues of the Indian subcontinent during British colonialism. Laurence Oliphant was not only a writer but also a diplomat and politician, whose unique experiences significantly shaped his worldview. Witnessing the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rise of British influence, Oliphant was driven by a desire to understand and portray the complexities of Eastern cultures. His journey with Jung Bahadoor, an influential Nepalese dignitary, serves as both an adventure and a crucial diplomatic encounter, marking his commitment to foster cross-cultural understanding. This compelling narrative is recommended for readers interested in travel literature, colonial history, and the intricate tapestry of Nepalese culture. Oliphant's work invites readers not only to visualize the majestic Himalayas but also to engage deeply with the ethical dimensions of Empire and the universal quest for connection across cultures.</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

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When windmill-dodgers David Bristow and Steve Thomas followed their dream to blaze (and map) a mountain bike trail across South Africa, they hoped to be spared howling headwinds, freezing rain and slushy terrain. They weren’t, yet were not deterred from having a mud-splattering good time. The result, the Spine of the Dragon trail, is the country’s ultimate mountain bike tour, covering a distance of 4000km from Beit Bridge to Cape Town. Aimed at the average off-road rider, the 58-day trail through South Africa and Lesotho is broken into nine sections, each with several stages. The entire course can be done in one go, or as a series of shorter rides ? ideal for those with boundless enthusiasm but limited time.</p> <p>The authors offer valuable advice on preparing for the trail that includes suggested clothing, gear, bike maintenance, food and safety.</p> <p>Each day’s route is described in detail and includes:</p> <p>? Customised, annotated map with GPS points</p> <p>? Total daily distance</p> <p>? Difficulty grading: from short and easy to long and hard</p> <p>? Entertaining insight into the people and places along the way</p> <p>? Engaging photographs</p> <p>? Accommodation suggestions and contact details</p> <p>When he’s not out cycling, David Bristow writes for a living. He is the former editor of Getaway travel magazine and the author of more than a dozen books for Random House Struik. Steve Thomas discovered mountain bikes while living in the US in the 1980s. Upon his return to South Africa in 1992, he established Daytrippers, South Africa’s oldest and biggest bicycle touring company.</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。 1,419円
