Pages : 187
Book Description
1543. Japan. A strange realm of wealth and warriors, it was said, perched on the fiery, grumbling edge of the world. Tomodachi is Japanese for friend and that's just what young Daniel Marlowe is going to need, shipwrecked and separated from his father in a Japan torn by civil war. But Kenji also has a problem that only a trusted friend could help with. He has fled an obligation with a deadly stain on his samurai honour, and must reach his far-off castle home. In his path lie brigands, warlords and their feuding armies. And worse. Temptations and lessons, on the hard road to wisdom. So begins an unlikely friendship, a dangerous journey, and a series of gripping adventures across a beautiful land haunted by the shadow of the sword. The author: Simon Higgins was born in England and raised in Nigeria, Africa, then South Australia, where he spent a decade in law enforcement as a policeman, prosecutor and finally, private investigator. His prior novels include the bestselling Thunderfish trilogy, CBC Notable Books, and works performed on stage, short-listed or published internationally. In 1979 he started training in Japanese martial arts and by 1982 had made his first visit to Japan. In 2007 he returned there to train and participate in the Kyoto Taikai, the world championships of the sword art Iaido, held annually on a mountain top before a Japanese prince. At the age of 48, competing in the Dangai class after less than a years training in Eishin-Ryu Iaido, Simon placed in the top ten. Happily married for 28 years, he has a son and daughter, now both adults, and, perhaps not surprisingly, a Japanese Akita dog. Reviews/grabline: TOMODACHI is not only a great action-packed ripping yarn which is sure to appeal to boys of all ages, it is also a terrific historical novel which presents Japan's feudal era in fascinating detail- Pamela Freeman, Winner NSW History Prize for Young People, 2006. Selling Points: Simon Higgins is already established as a popular and charismatic presenter who is a regular guest at Australian schools, youth literature festivals and media events. TOMODACHI: THE EDGE OF THE WORLD will be launched at the Brisbane Writers Festival in September. Bookmarks and some POS available. The first in the exciting new TOMODACHI series. The essential boys book fast-paced, heroic action.

Natural Disaster and Nuclear Crisis in Japan
Author: Jeff Kingston
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136343474
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan plunged the country into a state of crisis. As the nation struggled to recover from a record breaking magnitude 9 earthquake and a tsunami that was as high as thirty-eight meters in some places, news trickled out that Fukushima had experienced meltdowns in three reactors. These tragic catastrophes claimed some 20,000 lives, initially displacing some 500,000 people and overwhelming Japan's formidable disaster preparedness. This book brings together the analysis and insights of a group of distinguished experts on Japan to examine what happened, how various institutions and actors responded and what lessons can be drawn from Japan’s disaster. The contributors, many of whom experienced the disaster first hand, assess the wide-ranging repercussions of this catastrophe and how it is already reshaping Japanese culture, politics, energy policy, and urban planning.

Learn Japanese
Author: John Young
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824808969
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
After fifteen printings, the Learn Japanese: College Text series has been substantially revised. The incorporated revisions grew out of the authors' decade and more of classroom experience. Revisions were also made in accordance with recommendations proposed by instructors who have used the Learn Japanese series. The new edition, which reflects recent trends in language teaching, continues to emphasize an integrated approach in which speaking, hearing, reading, and writing Japanese all contribute to the language learning process. - The most significant improvement is the addition of Culture Notes to help clarify the sociolinguistic context in which the language is used. Since Japanese modes of communication are highly situational, the student of Japanese needs to be made aware of the different contexts in which speakers interact. Culture Notes, used in conjunction with Grammar Notes, Dialogs, and Useful Expressions, show how an understanding of cultural values and human relationships can enhance the student's mastery of language skills. - A new approach to language learning is used throughout the revised edition. The new sociolinguistic approach (which encourages the "generation of discourse") is integrated with the original pattern approach (which encourages the "generation of sentences"). - Many components of the first edition, such as Sentence Patterns, Grammar Notes, and Reviews, have been revised and/or rearranged. The result is a clearer, more natural, and more functional presentation of the Japanese language. The four volumes of Learn Japanese: New College Text were prepared by the Asian Division of the University of Maryland University College and are published by the University of Hawaii Press.
