Sophia's finally in the perfect relationship with the perfect guy...even if can't she get the memory of Giovanni out of her head. And Ava's taking a break from dating to focus on her career—while a new love interest is trying to disrupt her carefully laid plans. Best of all, Sophia and Ava have just been given a chance to create their own fashion line for New York Fashion Week.

In the cutthroat world of high fashion, it's impossible to know who your real friends are. At least Sophia and Ava can count on each other—but will it be enough to keep them from losing it all?

This collection of essays by leading Byronists explores the development of the myth of Byron and the Byronic from the poet's self-representations to his various appearances in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and in drama, film and portraiture.

暗記ではなくたくさんのイラストを通じて、ネイティブと同じように前置詞を感覚でとらえるというのが、本書のねらいですが、前作の「線・面・点」のイメージに加え、本書では「立体“上・下”のイメージ」を中心に展開します。over/underの他にも、from、to、up、downなど、必須前置詞が満載。一見、同じようなイメージの前置詞も、イラストで比較すれば、その違いは一目瞭然。理解が一層深まります。前置詞の核となるイメージを自分のものにできれば、応用がきいて、使い方を間違えることもありません。ネイティブの子供が前置詞をモノにするプロセスを疑似体験してみませんか。

ISBN: 0816536848

Take a good look at the American West and you'll see that the frontier is undergoing constant changes—not only changes made to the land but also changes in attitudes about the land held by the people who live there. In this book Mike Davis, Stephen Pyne, William deBuys, Donald Worster, Dan Flores, and others re-examine the relationship between people and the environment in the American West over five hundred years, from the legacy of Coronado's search for the Cities of Gold to the social costs of tourism and gaming inflicted by modern adventurers. By exploring places in the West, aspects of the region's past, and ways of understanding some of its pressing issues, the authors foster a better understanding of how people interact and perceive land. Reopening the American West takes a fresh approach to the history of the region, examining the premises of earlier scholars as well as those who have redefined the study of the West over the past two decades. It combines provocative essays with insightful analyses to address issues that are representative of the West in the twentieth century—multiculturalism, water issues, resource exploitation—and to reopen the West for all readers interested in new ways of looking at its wide-open spaces. Contents: Places Dreams of Earth, William deBuys Environmentalism and Multiculturalism, Dan L. Flores Pyre on the Mountain, Stephen J. Pyne Las Vegas Versus Nature, Mike Davis Pasts The Legacy of John Wesley Powell, Donald Worster Pokey’s Paradox: Tourism and Transformation on the Western Navajo Reservation, Hal K.

Winner of the Lionel Trilling Award Nominated for the National Book Award “A major contribution to our understanding of some of the great themes of modern European history—the relations between Jews and Germans, between economics and politics, between banking and diplomacy.” —James Joll, The New York Times Book Review “I cannot praise this book too highly. It is a work of original scholarship, both exact and profound. It restores a buried chapter of history and penetrates, with insight and understanding, one of the most disturbing historical problems of modern times.” —Hugh J. Trevor-Roper, London Sunday Times “[An] extraordinary book, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century.” —Stanley Hoffman, Washington Post Book World “One of the most important historical works of the past few decades.” —Golo Mann “In many ways this book resembles the great nineteenth-century novels.” —The Economist
