Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This admirable and necessary volume allows the original writers to speak to us directly. Though all this is carefully documented, we are at the same time spared any layers of scholarly interpretation. Rather, the richness of the original reaches us complete." —Donald Richie, Japan Times, May 14, 2006 Japanese artists, musicians, actors, and authors have written much over the centuries about the creation, meaning, and appreciation of various arts. Most of these works, however, are scattered among countless hard-to-find sources or make only a fleeting appearance in books devoted to other subjects. Compiled in this volume is a wealth of original material on Japanese arts and culture from the prehistoric era to the Meiji Restoration (1867). These carefully selected sources, including many translated here for the first time, are placed in their historical context and outfitted with brief commentaries, allowing the reader to make connections to larger concepts and values found in Japanese culture. The book is a treasure trove of material on the visual and literary arts, but it contains as well primary texts on topics not easily classified in Western categories, such as the martial and culinary arts, the art of tea, and flower arranging. More than 60 color and black and white illustrations enrich the collection and provide further insights into Japanese artistic and cultural values.
Download or read book Japan Through American Eyes written by Fred G Notehelfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This abridgement of the unique journal of Francis Hall, America's leading business pioneer in nineteenth-century Japan, offers a remarkable view of the period leading to the Meiji Restoration. An upstate New York book dealer, Hall went to Japan in 1859 to collect material for a book on the country and to serve as correspondent for Horace Greely's New York Tribune. Seeing the opportunities for commerce in Yokohama, he helped found Walsh, Hall, and Co., an institution that became one of the most important American trading houses in Japan. Hall was a shrewd businessman, but also a perceptive recorder of life around him. Privately preserved for more than a hundred years, this document shows Hall to have been an astute observer and story-teller as well as an influential opinion-maker in the United States during the crucial decade of the American Civil War and the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. While contemporary American and British diplomatic accounts have focused on the official record, Hall reveals the private side of life in the treaty port. The publication of his journal, now in abridged form for the student and general reader, furnishes us with an insightful and sensitive portrayal of Japan on the eve of modernity.
Download or read book Trying to Fix Stupid written by Gerald Newman and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and often hilarious look at teaching -- a beautifully written book that will resonate with anyone who's been a teacher or been taught in America. Gerald Newman, acclaimed author of The Rise of English Nationalism and holder of the Kent State University Distinguished Teaching Award, surveys his youth, education, students, and career in a memoir sparkling with humor and full of arresting portrayals of school life from both sides of the instructor's desk. Sketching his background and confessing his youthful follies and pranks, Newman arrives at his maverick schooldays, depicting a jolly parade of familiar types -- teachers, principals, geeks and Greeks, zany profs and silver-tongued "grandees of the lecture hall." Tracing his progress through the University of Washington, then Harvard, then his thirty-year career at Kent State after the infamous May 4th shooting (1970), he addresses the teacher's main mission to "Fix Stupid," amusingly revisiting battles with wayward students, John Birchers, Henry Kissinger, and other Harvard profs and sundry academics, administrators, and "woke" enthusiasts at Kent State. A historian, he shows his own shaping by great outside forces -- World War II, the Cold War, Vietnam, American political controversy, trendy intellectual fashions. He includes valuable teaching tips, laugh-out-loud accounts of educational travels, and biting commentary on the current political scene. This is a big book, containing much more than one man's life story, written in a light-hearted and entertaining spirit by a very keen observer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Paradis’s Last Mission to Tokyo, a “superb” (The Wall Street Journal) and “engrossing...richly researched” (The New York Times Book Review) account of a key but underreported moment in World War II: The Doolittle Raids and the international war crimes trial in 1945 that defined the Japanese-American relations and changed legal history. In 1942, freshly humiliated from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States was in search of a plan. President Roosevelt, determined to show the world that our nation would not be intimidated or defeated by enemy powers, demanded recommendations for a show of strength. Jimmy Doolittle, a stunt pilot with a doctorate from MIT, came forward and led eighty young men, gathered together from the far-flung corners of Depression-era America, on a seemingly impossible mission across the Pacific. Sixteen planes in all, they only had enough fuel for a one-way trip. Together, the Raiders, as they were called, did what no one had successfully done for more than a thousand years. They struck the mainland of Japan and permanently turned the tide of the war in the Pacific. Almost immediately, The Doolittle Raid captured the public imagination, and has remained a seminal moment in World War II history, but the heroism and bravery of the mission is only half the story. In Last Mission to Tokyo, Michel Paradis reveals the dramatic aftermath of the mission, which involved two lost crews captured, tried, and tortured at the hands of the Japanese, a dramatic rescue of the survivors in the last weeks of World War II, and an international manhunt and trial led by two dynamic and opposing young lawyers—in which both the United States and Japan accused the other of war crimes—that would change the face of our legal and military history. Perfect for fans of Lucky 666 and Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial, Last Mission to Tokyo is an unforgettable war story-meets-courtroom-drama that “captures the reader with the first sentence and never lets go” (John Grisham).
