Download or read book Japan Encyclopedia written by Louis-Frédéric and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 1130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Knowing Japan and the Japanese better," Louis Frédéric states in the introduction to this encyclopedia, "is one of the necessities of modern life." The Japanese have a profound knowledge of every aspect and detail of Western societies. Unfortunately, we in the West cannot say the same about our knowledge of Japan. We tend to see Japan through a veil of exoticism, as a land of ancient customs and exquisite arts; or we view it as a powerful contributor to the global economy, the source of cutting-edge electronics and innovative management techniques. To go beyond these clichés, we must begin to see how apparently contradictory aspects of modern Japanese culture spring from the country's evolution through more than two millennia of history. This richly detailed yet concise encyclopedia is a guide to the full range of Japanese history and civilization, from the dawn of its prehistory to today, providing clear and accessible information on society and institutions, commerce and industry, sciences, sports, and politics, with particular emphasis on religion, material culture, and the arts. The volume is enhanced by maps and illustrations, along with a detailed chronology of more than 2,000 years of Japanese history and a comprehensive bibliography. Cross-references and an index help the reader trace themes from one article to the next. Japan Encyclopedia will be an indispensable one-volume reference for students, scholars, travelers, journalists, and anyone who wishes to learn more about the past and present of this great world civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Number 4 in the Matt Kelly series starts slowly—unless philately is your thing—but quickly picks up the pace, leading to a vintage Kelly climax that evokes the classic movie "Cape Fear." Kelly is reluctant to get involved in an aging stamp dealer's problems—inexplicably, a client's stamp collection worth millions of yen has been switched with one containing far less valuable material—but the dealer is an old friend of Kelly's friend and sometimes colleague Miller, and, in the end, Miller usually gets what he wants. It doesn't hurt that one of the stamp dealer's assistants is a five foot buxom doll called Masako and is nearly as fit as the legendarily flat-bellied Kelly. As Miller cogitates over how a bank locked-room switch could have been engineered, Kelly noses around the client, a supposed financial investment advisor, who turns out to be a money launderer for the Sumiyoshi-kai yakuza. Series fans will immediately see that the investment advisor/yakuza does more than the laundry—the advisor's own clients clearly indicate that Kelly has found his adversary. No one is quite what they seem this time around—Masako and the investment advisor/yakuza, especially—and it takes Kelly quite a while to put the pieces together. Cut to a rented cabin cruiser, heading to Oshima Island, as Kelly lays in wait for a predawn visit from the investment advisor/yakuza on his way, just like in the classic movie "Cape Fear," to settle scores once and for all.
