Japan's transformation from an isolated society to a military empire and, after a crushing defeat in World War II, into one of the world's foremost economic powers is one of the most fascinating stories of modern history. Although much has been written about modern Japan, no reference book has analyzed its political, economic, social, and cultural history to render a holistic account of the sweeping changes Japan has undergone since 1850. Now, with The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History, Gary D. Allinson presents this much-needed learning resource for students of Japanese society and for lay readers seeking to better understand the economic powerhouse of East Asia during the 150 years that have catapulted it to international preeminence.

The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History is a unique work in which readers will find:

a balanced narrative treating each facet of Japanese history―political, social, economic, and cultural―across four periods covering the years from 1850 to the present;

an encyclopedia-style topical compendium including more than 150 entries on such key subjects as Japan's emperors, political leaders, business enterprises, social organizations, and leading writers;

excerpts from important historical documents;

a chronology and list of prime ministers, providing easy reference to important historical dates, periods, and people;

an annotated guide to further research, including print, film, and electronic resources.

Readily accessible to all readers, Allinson's reference will be one that citizens, teachers, students, and academicians will consult often as they seek information on scores of topics. The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History will endure as a valuable reference and learning tool for many years to come.

Top Qulität von Powells Books

Reviewed in Germany on May 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

Wie von Powells Books beschrieben ist das Buch zwar gebraucht, aber in sehr gutem Zustand hier angekommen. Die Lieferzeit betrug etwa 10 Tage - was bei Standardversand aus den USA normal ist. Jedoch läßt sich auch hier erkennen, dass man bei Powells' gute Arbeit leistet um die Waren umgehend zu versenden.
Wie gesagt, das Buch ist wie neu. Nur der Umschlag war etwas vergilbt da es sich um ein älteres Buch handelt. Ich habe diesen Buchumschlag weggeworfen und lediglich im blauen Einband erscheint das buch in herrlichem Glanz ;-)

Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn. Alles ist gut und ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Der Inhalt des Buches ist ebenso stimmig.
Aber darüber gibt es sicherlich genügend Rezessionen.
In Columbia Guide typischer Weise wird man hier in das moderne Japan eingeführt.
Durch die Strukturierung des Werkes empfiehlt sich der Guide als Workbook und Nachschlagewerk.
