Reviews

$21.95. soc sci An accurate understanding of Japan is a matter of increasing urgency for all Americans, and this popular introduction by a well-informed British writer may be the best place to start. In a crisp style peppered with pungent phrases, Tasker skillfully probes Japanese society, politics, and the economy. Well-grounded in history and rich in revealing anecdotes, his book provides shrewd insights into the often contradictory essences of contemporary Japan. Well-balanced and fair-minded, the work avoids gross generalizations or sensationalism. It is more accessible to the general reader than Edwin Reischauer's The Japanese ( LJ 5/1/77) and deeper than Robert Christopher's The Japanese Mind ( LJ 4/15/83). Steven I.

Store Description

I reside in a rural community in central Minnesota near Mille Lacs Lake. Currently, I am in the third year of an online PhD program in Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. It has been a lifelong ambition to complete this educational goal. I am retired, having served as a Lutheran parish minister, and I taught philosophy at a small, two-year college in central Minnesota. I have been an ABE book seller in the past, but decided it was too much for me to do with marriage, helping to raise a family, and tending to my vocations, so I gave up my book business ? These Old Books. I look forward to getting back into the shelves of books and trying to find the volume that a customer wants or needs.
