<p><strong>Learn German with the Augsburg Saga ? B2 German Reader (B2 Omnibus)</strong></p> <p>Learn German through immersive storytelling, historical realism, and carefully controlled B2-level German ー in one continuous, demanding, and rewarding volume.</p> <p><strong>Learn German with the Augsburg Saga ? B2 German Reader (B2 Omnibus)</strong> brings together all five B2 novellas into a single, coherent reading experience covering the years 1929 to 1945. This omnibus combines the complete B2 sequence into approximately <strong>173,000 words</strong> (print edition approx. <strong>730 pages</strong>), offering sustained, serious reading practice for advanced learners and students preparing for C1.</p> <p>Set mainly in Augsburg and southern Germany, these stories follow the Hartwig family as everyday life becomes increasingly shaped by economic collapse, political radicalization, war, persecution, and the breakdown of familiar routines. The focus remains on ordinary settings: workshops, offices, kitchens, pharmacies, stairwells, radios, forms, letters, and quiet conversations behind closed doors. History is not explained from above ー it enters daily life gradually, often without being named.</p> <p>At B2, German becomes fully expressive.<br /> Sentences grow longer and more layered. Vocabulary becomes more exact. Meaning often unfolds across scenes rather than single lines. The language reflects how adults speak, think, hesitate, and adapt ー while remaining controlled and accessible for learners who want to build real reading confidence.</p> <p><strong>What this Omnibus includes:</strong></p> <p>? Five complete B2 novellas (B2.1?B2.5)<br /> ? Short English introductions before each novella (historical orientation, main characters)<br /> ? German-only main texts written consistently at B2 level<br /> ? Chapter summaries, comprehension questions, and full-sentence answers<br /> ? Long-form narrative immersion across all five books<br /> ? Quiet, realistic storytelling focused on everyday experience<br /> ? Historically grounded scenes from 1929?1945: economic crisis, bureaucracy, deportations, air raids, absence, exhaustion, and survival</p> <p><strong>Why this approach works</strong></p> <p>Most advanced readers rely on short texts or isolated articles. The Augsburg Saga instead offers <strong>long-form immersion</strong> through a continuous family narrative that spans multiple CEFR levels (A1?C1). Because characters, settings, and relationships return again and again, vocabulary and structures become familiar through context and memory ー not memorization.</p> <p>At B2, grammar appears naturally inside meaningful scenes: administrative language, indirect speech, restrained dialogue, and descriptive precision develop organically through story.</p> <p><strong>Who this book is for:</strong></p> <p>? Learners progressing from B1 who want sustained reading practice<br /> ? Advanced self-study readers seeking serious, well-edited material<br /> ? Teachers looking for reliable, chapter-based B2 reading content<br /> ? History-interested readers who value calm, realistic narration<br /> ? Students preparing for C1 who want a controlled transition to independent reading</p> <p><strong>A bridge to C1</strong></p> <p>Completing the B2 Omnibus is a major milestone.<br /> If you enjoy this volume, the Augsburg Saga continues at <strong>C1</strong>, where the story moves beyond 1945 toward reconstruction, memory, political conflict, and life in a world that increasingly resembles our own ー up to the present day.</p> <p>Read with patience.<br /> Read with attention.<br /> And let your German grow naturally through story.</p> <p><strong>Author of</strong> <em><strong>German Easy Reader Super 500</strong></em> <strong>and more German readers.</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。
タイトル: The Information著者: James Gleick出版社: Vintage出版日: 2012年03月06日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa's talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

タイトル: Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within著者: Natalie Goldberg出版社: Shambhala出版日: 2005年12月06日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。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。For more than twenty years Natalie Goldberg has been challenging and cheering on writers with her books and workshops. In her groundbreaking first book, she brings together Zen meditation and writing in a new way. Writing practice, as she calls it, is no different from other forms of Zen practice --"it is backed by two thousand years of studying the mind." This new edition, which marks almost twenty years since the original book's publication, includes a new preface in which Goldberg expresses her trademark enthusiasm for writing practice, as well as a depth of appreciation for the process that has come with time and experience. Also included is an interview with the author in which she reflects on the relationship between Zen sitting practice and writing, the importance of place, and the power of memory.
タイトル: Do I Make Myself Clear?: Why Writing Well Matters著者: Harold Evans出版社: Little, Brown and Company出版日: 2017年05月16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。A wise and entertaining guide to writing English the proper way by one of the greatest newspaper editors of our time. Harry Evans has edited everything from the urgent files of battlefield reporters to the complex thought processes of Henry Kissinger. He's even been knighted for his services to journalism. In Do I Make Myself Clear?, he brings his indispensable insight to us all in his definite guide to writing well. The right words are oxygen to our ideas, but the digital era, with all of its TTYL, LMK, and WTF, has been cutting off that oxygen flow. The compulsion to be precise has vanished from our culture, and in writing of every kind we see a trend towards more -- more speed and more information but far less clarity. Evans provides practical examples of how editing and rewriting can make for better communication, even in the digital age. Do I Make Myself Clear? is an essential text, and one that will provide every writer an editor at his shoulder.
タイトル: Nothing's Impossible: Leadership Lessons from Inside and Outside the Classroom著者: Lorraine Monroe出版社: PublicAffairs出版日: 1999年04月09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。In 1991, Dr. Lorraine Monroe founded the Frederick Douglass Academy, a public school in Harlem, in the belief that caring instructors, a disciplined but creative environment, and a refusal to accept mediocrity could transform the lives of inner-city kids. Her experiment was a huge success. Today the Academy is one of the finest schools in the country, sending graduates to Ivy League colleges and registering the third highest SAT scores in New York City. The key to its success: a unique leadership method Monroe calls the "Monroe Doctrine," which she developed through decades as a teacher and principal in some of America's toughest schools. In this book Monroe tells her own remarkable story and explains her "Doctrine" through pithy, memorable rules and observations and a host of wonderful true stories. This is an inspiring read for both new and experienced educators--and for anyone who wants to succeed in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
タイトル: City Teachers: Teaching and School Reform in Historical Perspective著者: Kate Rousmaniere出版社: Teachers College Press出版日: 1997年06月15日古本可。かなり摩耗した読み物です。本文にマーキングがある場合があります。製本が割れている可能性がありますが、全ページ揃っています。ダストジャケットは含まれません。図書館から入手することもあります。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Does school reform make better schools? City Teachers: Teaching and School Reform in Historical Perspectivevividly recreates teachers' work in urban (New York City) schools in a period of intense school reform (the 1920s), as teachers and schools coped with an ever-larger and diverse student body. Rousmaniere depicts how New York City teachers experienced citywide reform initiatives in their already stressful workday, and how they resisted, undermined, and adapted school reform policy. Drawing on extensive interviews with teachers of an earlier generation, Rousmaniere lets readers see the complexity of teachers' work, their problems with reform implementation, and the conditions they believed were necessary for real change. This is an important book because it raises questions about teachers' historical work culture and the effects of teachers' working conditions. It will be invaluable reading in graduate courses in the history of education, urban education, and teacher education and for professors, researchers, and general readers in these fields.
タイトル: Lost and Found: Helping Behaviorally Challenging Students (And, While You're at It, All the Others)著者: Ross W Greene出版社: Jossey-Bass出版日: 2016年05月23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。Implement a more constructive approach to difficult students Lost and Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicit guidance on implementing his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Problem Solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's positive, constructive approach and described implementation on a macro level, this useful guide provides the details of hands-on CPS implementation by those who interact with these children every day. Readers will learn how to incorporate students' input in understanding the factors making it difficult for them to meet expectations and in generating mutually satisfactory solutions. Specific strategies, sample dialogues, and time-tested advice help educators implement these techniques immediately. The groundbreaking CPS approach has been a revelation for parents and educators of behaviorally-challenging children. This book gives educators the concrete guidance they need to immediately begin working more effectively with these students. Implement CPS one-on-one or with an entire class Work collaboratively with students to solve problems Study sample dialogues of CPS in action Change the way difficult students are treated The discipline systems used in K-12 schools are obsolete, and aren't working for the kids to whom they're most often applied - those with behavioral challenges. Lost and Found provides a roadmap to a different paradigm, helping educators radically transform the way they go about helping their most challenging students.
タイトル: Letters to a Young Teacher著者: Jonathan Kozol出版社: Crown出版日: 2007年08月21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。In these affectionate letters to Francesca, a first grade teacher at an inner-city school in Boston, Jonathan Kozol vividly describes his repeated visits to her classroom while, under Francesca's likably irreverent questioning, he also reveals his own most personal stories of the years that he has spent in public schools. "Letters to a Young Teacher" reignites a numberof the controversial issues Jonathan has powerfully addressed in recent years: the mania of high-stakes testing that turns many classrooms into test-prep factories where spontaneity and critical intelligence are no longer valued, the invasion of our public schools by predatory private corporations, and the inequalities of urban schools that are once again almost as segregated as they were a century ago. But most of all, these letters are rich with the happiness of teaching children, the curiosity and jubilant excitement children bring into the classroom at an early age, and their ability to overcome their insecurities when they are in the hands of an adoring and hard-working teacher.
