Hardback. Condizione: New. The Japanese first encountered Western scientific technology around 1543, when the Portuguese drifted ashore and left them firearms. For the next few centuries Japan's policy of national isolation severely limited contact with the West. In the middle of the nineteenth century, when Commodore Perry introduced the Japanese to a few of the West's technological achievements, they realized how vulnerable their technological ignorance made them and felt great pressure to master Western science as quickly as possible. In The Japanese and Western Science, Masao Watanabe succinctly examines the intersection of Western science and Japanese culture since Japan's opening to the West. Using case studies, including a Japanese scientist trained in the West and foreign teachers brought to Japan, he describes how the Japanese quickly and effectively accepted Western science and technology. Yet Japan, eager to catch up, sought for the fruits of science rather than its cultural and religious roots or the processes that allowed it to flourish. The author contends that this resulted in a lack of integration of the new science into Japanese culture with the resulting strains in people's lives, their education, in research, in international affairs, and in environmental pollution. The central three chapters focus on Darwin, how his views were introduced, what aspects were of most interest-survival of the fittest rather than the common origins of animals and humans-and how one Japanese biologist sought to blend social Darwinism and Buddhist ideas. In one of the summarizing chapters, Watanabe contrasts the Western and Japanese conceptions of nature, and points out that the latter has tended to make the Japanese rely on mother nature to cope with the effects of human actions, no matter what these might be. The book is the product of painstaking research and penetrating insight by a Japanese scholar who has firsthand knowledge of Western science and culture.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. First printing [stated]. xx, 444 pages. Illustrations. Note on Language. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Appendices. Index. Foreword by Ellis S. Krauss. Reveals how the Japanese media have dangerously overstepped their boundaries and distorted-even wiped out-honest news in favor of government propaganda. And worse, Japanese citizens are frequently persecuted and threatened by the very institution they turn to for truth. In his new book Adam Gamble reveals how the Japanese media have dangerously overstepped their boundaries and distorted--even wiped out--honest news. This work exposes deceptions, lies and abuses of power in Japan that have led to misunderstanding, confusion, and suffering to an extent that the phrase "media atrocities' was created. Adam Gamble is a writer, a photographer, and a publisher. He is the author of the Good Night Our World series, In the Footsteps of Thoreau, and A Public Betrayed. He lives in Dennis, Massachusetts. Santiago Cohen is an illustrator whose works have appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post, as well as in children's books. He is also a film animation designer and director at Ink Tank whose projects include Troubles the Cat episodes on Cartoon Network and the Emmy award-winning HBO specials Goodnight Moon and Other Sleepytime Tales and How Do You Spell God? Derived from a Kirkus review: An absorbing study of Japanese print media, focusing on the lurid weeklies called shukanshi. Japan, notes investigative reporter Gamble and media-studies professor Watanabe, is a spectacularly literate nation; the largest of its daily newspapers, Yomiuri Shimbun, boasts the highest circulation of any in the worldits 10,000,000 readers equal the combined audience of the top ten dailies in America. Yet this same literate audience also devours semi-pornographic weeklies that, the authors assert, help maintain a dysfunctional status quo and preserve myths and downright lies: that Japan is a harmonious and ethnically homogeneous country. Gamble and Watanabe offer a detailed account of the differences between American and Japanese readers, which, tellingly, centers on one great distinction: Americans mistrust their media, while Japanese swear by theirs, perhaps a reflex of an educational system that 'has traditionally taught students to avoid criticizing those in positions of authority and to accept what they are told.' So they do, and what they are told tends to be politically conservative, vicious against the powerless and the 'different,' mendacious, and inflammatory. In this climate, even the comparatively staid Japanese Newsweek sensationalizes; the American version called Martha Stewart 'the queen of perfection,' whereas the Japanese edition labeled her a 'corrupt queen,' a significant distinction. Put a tabloid industry at the service of lies and distortionsthe 'comfort women' asked for the job, the mass murder of Chinese civilians is an anti-Japanese slander, and so forthand you have all the makings of what the authors call 'media atrocities,' a useful if itself sensationalist term. And the worst of those atrocities, they sensibly hold, 'in Japan and throughout world history, have been made possible through the silence of those in the mainstream.' Well argued and written; of much interest to students of the media and international politics. Mike Brinson (Cover photograph) and Masao Nagata ( (illustratore).…
