Book Shadows of the Rising Sun

Download or read book Shadows of the Rising Sun written by Jared Taylor and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1983 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the approach that only if we understand Japan’s weaknesses can we fully grasp its strengths. The author explains Japan’s extraordinary culture, history, and national culture while also bringing to light some of the country’s unattractive features : conformity, rigid hierarchy, submission to the group, pervasive sexism, and an almost messianic sense of national uniqueness. This book explains not only how the Japanese work but why they work. It describes how the Japanese view the West, amuse themselves, court and make love, fashion their society, and define their role in the world. The author searches out the patterns of Japanese thinking and behavior and follows them into every corner of Japanese life.

Book The Evacuation of Civilians from Burma

Download or read book The Evacuation of Civilians from Burma written by Michael D. Leigh and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The string of military defeats during 1942 marked the end of British hegemony in Southeast Asia, finally destroying the myth of British imperial invincibility. The Japanese attack on Burma led to a hurried and often poorly organized evacuation of Indian and European civilians from the country. The evacuation was a public humiliation for the British and marked the end of their role in Burma. The Evacuation of Civilians from Burma investigates the social and political background to the evacuation, and the consequences of its failure. Utilizing unpublished letters, diaries, memoirs and official reports, Michael Leigh provides the first comprehensive account of the evacuation, analyzing its source in the structures of colonial society, fractured race relations and in the turbulent politics of colonial Burma.

Book Maine Metaphor  The Green and Blue House

Download or read book Maine Metaphor The Green and Blue House written by S. Dorman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to live in rural Maine? How--in the 1980s, when descendants of Maine's settlers wonder about our coming out of the Rust Belt in search of work, in search of a life? They were not bitter about our coming here, where jobs were already scarce--they were incredulous. Why did we come? Sometimes I answered, "God." God brought us, the formerly middle-class inept, to live among these most hardy and canny of make-do people. God brought us to experience life in Maine, where my spouse sometimes worked turning and trimming four thousand boards a night, waking to drive one hundred miles round-trip to finish our undergraduate educations with the aid of loans and grants. So I studied the place where we came to live. And I forgot where we came from. Rural Maine was ragged, rugged, hardscrabble, and wild--but full of the most visible, vital, natural creation. I've tried to express that aspect of Maine life in The Green and Blue House. And there is the metaphor, also.
