Book excerpt: This is the full colour edition of About Japan that is already available through Amazon in black and white paperback form. There are those readers who appreciate having the photographs and maps in full color and this edition satisfies that need. The text, photos and maps are all identical.Japan is a unique and very exciting country. Its people being its greatest asset. The Japanese culture is ancient, steeped in ritual and tradition, yet today's Japan is ultra modern and one of the leaders of the high-tech world. Ancient traditions and values have not been forsaken and they still play a major role in the daily lives of the people. This book looks at the natural landscape with reference to both its beauty and the underlying hazards that can inflict damage upon the people who live on it. The book also takes a close look at the evolution of Japanese society along with studying its present day way of living. Then the book takes you on a virtual tour around Japan to show you the natural and cultural diversity of the nation. This is NOT a guide book like those large volumes on the market. It is not filled with hotel and restaurant recommendations and suggested sightseeing excursions. This is a book about the land and its people to help make you a more savvy traveler. Then with the knowledge you have gained, you can pick up one of the travel guides and have a much better base of knowledge as to what is worth seeing and doing when you visit. If you are not planning to visit Japan, this book is a good primer on the nature of the land and people to help you better understand Japan's role as an important western ally and trading partner.

Download or read book Tokyo on Foot written by Florent Chavouet and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This prize-winning book is both an illustrated tour of a Tokyo rarely seen in Japan travel guides and an artist's warm, funny, visually rich, and always entertaining graphic memoir. Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of color pencils and a sketchpad, and visit different neighborhoods. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. It isn't the Tokyo of packaged tours and glossy guidebooks, but a grittier, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives and the scenes and activities that unfold on the streets of a bustling metropolis. Here you find businessmen and women, hipsters, students, grandmothers, shopkeepers, policemen, and other urban types and tribes in all manner of dress and hairstyles. A temple nestles among skyscrapers; the corner grocery anchors a diverse assortment of dwellings, cafes, and shops--often tangled in electric lines. The artist mixes styles and tags his pictures with wry comments and observations. Realistically rendered advertisements or posters of pop stars contrast with cartoon sketches of iconic objects or droll vignettes, like a housewife walking her pet pig, a Godzilla statue in a local park, and an urban fishing pond that charges 400 yen per half hour. This very personal guide to Tokyo is organized by neighborhood with hand-drawn maps that provide an overview of each neighborhood, but what really defines them is what caught the artist's eye and attracted his formidable drawing talent. Florent Chavouet begins his introduction by observing that, "Tokyo is said to be the most beautiful of ugly cities." With wit, a playful sense of humor, and the multicolor pencils of his kit, he sets aside the question of urban ugliness or beauty and captures the Japanese essence of a great city in this truly vital portrait.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like no other textbook, Pulsipher and Pulsipher’s World Regional Geography puts a human face on the study of regional geography, showing how larger geographical forces affect the lives of individuals and communities around the globe. It’s a refreshing, people-centered approach to the subject focusing on the stories of real people, global trends and interregional linkages, and contemporary topics that transcend regional borders (the war on terrorism, global political order, interregional trade, the global economy, popular culture, the environment, and the Internet).
