ONCE A FOOL! – From Japan to Alaska by Amphibious Jeep!

ONCE A FOOL—From Japan to Alaska by Amphibious Jeep, by Boyé Lafayette De Mente. Phoenix Books/Publishers. ISBN: 0-914778-04-8.   Trade paperback. 6×9 format. 168 pages. $12.95. Distributors to the trade: Ingram Book Company; Baker & Taylor. Available to consumers from Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc.   An Incredible Real-Life Adventure!   This is the story of the author’s experience aboard the globe-circling amphibious jeep dubbed “Half-Safe” by Australian adventurer Ben Carlin, its owner and “captain”—who turned out to be a modern-day Captain Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame.    During the 4-month long journey from Tokyo to Anchorage, Alaska the two adventurers encountered Russians, Japanese fishing nets, sea lions, technical problems, the frigid waters of the North Pacific and Bering Sea—and each other!      The crossing made news worldwide, and The Guinness Book of World Records , as well as Car and Driver’s Amazing Stories.      In 1957, prior to beginning the trip, De Mente was a journalist employed by The Japan Times in Tokyo, who said he agreed to join the captain of the Half-Safe on his perilous voyage because he was being underpaid by the newspaper, because he had two girl friends who had just accidentally met, and he needed a quick and cheap way out of town.      The voyage was cheap but it was not quick, and came close to being fatal for the two unlikely jeep-mates. On their very first night at sea, crossing from Japan’s Honshu Island to Hokkaido Island, the jeep sprung a leak, forcing them to spend the night pumping water out of the bilge.      De Mente reveals in exact detail the unexpected threats the two wayfarers encountered, including the precise conversations between them.      In his words, once they set off into the North Pacific the confines and noises of the jeep induced a kind of semi-coma that they came out of only when the daily 24-hour routine of “four on four off” was broken.      Their encounter with Japanese fishing nets and Carlin’s behavior following the last incident is high drama of the most absurd kind.        On another memorable occasion, De Mente stands on the tiny prow of the jeep for several hours in a cold rain and high seas pumping air into a torpedo-shaped yellow tank holding 660 gallons of gasoline to force gas into inboard tanks, with the tank jumping and rearing like a wild animal.      What is perhaps the most remarkable of all, the author hung in with Carlin until they reached Anchorage, where he “jumped jeep” and parted company with his strange companion, flying to Phoenix, Arizona to see his family and recuperate.      And in yet another believe-it-or-not episode, 10 years after De Mente left the jeep in Anchorage, had spent another six years working in Tokyo and moved back to Phoenix, one of   his friends spotted Carlin driving Half-Safe down Van Buren Avenue in the center of the city.   If you are up for a tale that is tall but true, this book will make your day.      [Carlin eventually ended up in his hometown of Perth, Australia where he died in the 1980s, and where Half-Safe is on permanent display at his old school.   De Mente went on to have an extraordinary career as the author of more than 60 books on the business cultures and languages of Japan, Korea, and China. He now makes his home in Paradise Valley, Arizona.] Available from Amazon.com. ____________________ Boyé Lafayette De Mente is a graduate of Jōchi University in Tokyo and Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona.

Japan $11.99 The Japanese are in the process of re-creating themselves–an endeavor they have undertaken at intervals throughout history, always prompted by a combination of domestic and global forces. In this landmark book, Patrick Smith asserts that a variety of forces–the achievement of material affluence, the Cold War’s end, and the death of Emperor Hirohito–are now spurring Japan once again toward a fundamental redefinition of itself.   As Smith argues, this requires of the West an equally thorough reevaluation of the picture we have held of Japan over the past half-century. He reveals how economic overdevelopment conceals profound political, social, and psychological under-development. And by refocusing on "internal history"  and the Japanese character, Smith offers a new framework for understanding Japan and the Japanese as they really are. The Japanese, he says, are now seeking to alter the very thing we believe distinguishes them: the relationship between the individual and society. Timely, measured, and authoritative, this book illuminates a new Japan, a nation preparing to drop the mask it holds up to the West and to steer a course of its own in the world.

100 Views of the Golden Gate $30 With a bow to the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), whose woodblock series 100 Views of Mt. Fuji celebrates Japan’’s iconic mountain, this book is a lush photographic paean to San Francisco’’s world-famous icon–the majestic Golden Gate. In this tribute to the natural wonders of the San Francisco landscape, as well as the enduring marvel of the Golden Gate Bridge, professional photographer/writer and Bay Area native Harold Davis has created a collection of over 100 striking digital photographs of the Gate–the strait that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean and the Bridge itself–taken from different vantage points, times of day and night, and seasons. Awash in color and mood, the all-color digital images in this book show that the Golden Gate is worth a look again and again and again.

A Century of Juvenile Justice $55 Since its inception in Illinois in 1899, the juvenile court has become a remarkable legal and social institution all over the developed world, one that plays a singular role in modern government. At its founding, the juvenile court was intended to reverse longstanding legal traditions and to place the child’s interests first in areas of law ranging from dependency to delinquency. Yet in recent years, legal responses to youths’ offenses have undergone striking changes, as more juveniles are being transferred to adult courts and serving adult sentences. A Century of Juvenile Justice is the first standard, comprehensive, and comparative reference work to span the history and current state of juvenile justice. An extraordinary assemblage of leading authorities have produced an accessible, illustrated document, designed as a reference for everyone from probation personnel and police to students, educators, lawyers, and social workers. Editors’ introductions place into context each of the book’s five sections, which consider not only the history of the ideas around which the system was organized and how the institutions and practices interact with other aspects of government policy toward children in the United States and in other nations, but also the ways in which changing social and legal meanings of childhood and youth have continued to influence juvenile justice. The doctrine and institutions of juvenile justice in Europe, Japan, England, and Scotland are profiled in depth to show the range of modern responses to youth crime and child endangerment. This comparative material provides a fresh basis for judging the direction of policy in the United States. Exhaustive andinstructive, A Century of Juvenile Justice belongs on the shelf of everyone concerned with the youth welfare.

A Concise History of China $114.25 This is an admirable general survey of all of Chinese history from Peking Man to Deng Xiaoping. It is written in clear, spare prose, and conveys an enormous amount of information. –William C. Kirby, Harvard University A Concise History of China J. A. G. Roberts The centuries-long complexity of China’s political experience, the richness of its exotic culture, and the drama of its economic unfolding are the hallmarks of this short but sweeping history. China’s own history is entwined with its response to the West in a rich tapestry depicting its peoples, rulers, and society. More than a nuanced account focused on the history of a vast continent, this study is sensitive to the multifaceted and changing interpretations of China that have been offered over the years. In this overarching book, J. A. G. Roberts refers to recent archeological finds–the caches of bronze vessels found at Sanxingdui–and to new documentary reevaluations–the reassessment of Manchu documentation. The first half of the book provides an up-to-date interpretation of China’s early and imperial history, while the second half concentrates on the modern period and provides an interpretive account of major developments–the impact of Western imperialism, the rise of Chinese Communism, and the record of the People’s Republic of China since 1949. Concise and direct, this book is a clear narrative and handy companion for those interested in China for pleasure or study. J. A. G. Roberts specializes in the history of China and Japan and is Principal Lecturer in Humanities at the University of Huddersfield, England. He is the author of four other books on China. 57 16 x 81 2 10 maps 320 pp. cloth: ISBN0-674-00074-9 (ROBCON) $45.00 / NA paper: ISBN 0-674-00075-7 (ROBCOX) $16.95 / NA World History/Asian Studies

A History of the Korean People in Modern Times: 1800 to the Present $209.91 An objectively balanced history of Korea during the development of its modernization – from about 1800 to the present – this book emphasizes the character, beliefs, and sentiments of the people and the personalities and careers of their pivotal leaders. The history narrates the struggles of Koreans to resist imperialistic pressures exerted against the strategic heart of northeast Asia by Japan, China, Russia, and England. It also examines, in particular detail, the sometimes helpful and sometimes hurtful role of the United States – Korea’s most influential and most reluctant ally. What is Korea, who are Koreans, and what are they really like? South Korea has set the pattern for emergence from poverty to prosperity, from endemic disease to healthfulness, and from general illiteracy to universal education. A 1992 study by a U.S. testing service found that elementary students of South Korea ranked first in both science and mathematics among the ten most advanced nations of the world. These achievements, not accidental, account for the success of Korea, which may be called a modern miracle. During the past two hundred years of Korea’s modernization period, the Korean people have displayed strength and courage by preserving their nationalism and special culture in the face of surrounding and stronger nations. For instance, when Japan colonized Korea from 1910 to 1945 and attempted to Japanize its conquest, the Korean people held fast to their own traditions. Indeed, against all imperialistic enemies, Korea sought to protect itself by becoming a tightly isolated Hermit Kingdom. In the years of Japanese rule of Korea, the Indian poet Tagore wrote, Korea, once a bright light in thegolden age of Asia, if it is to be relit, will be again the light of the East . His words were prophetic. Not only has Korea distinguished itself in the area of social reform; it has emerged as a fountainhead of Asian culture. The inspirational leadership of ethical philosophers and the vil

A Journey to Katmandu (Dodo Press) $13.07 Laurence Oliphant (1829-1888) was a British author, international traveller, diplomatist and mystic. Best known for his 1870 satirical novel Piccadilly, he spent a decade in later life under the influence of the spiritualist prophet Thomas Lake Harris. In 1851 he accompanied Jung Bahadur from Colombo to Nepal. He passed an agreeable time there, and saw enough that was new to enable him to write his first book, A Journey to Katmandu (1852). Oliphant was Lord Elgin’s private secretary on his expedition to China and Japan. In 1861 he was appointed first secretary of the British legation in Japan under Consul General Sir Rutherford Alcock.

A Korean Nationalist Entrepreneur: A Life History of Kim Songsu, 1891-1955 $30.59 This book delineates the drive for Korean modernization by cultural nationalists during the colonial era in the early twentieth century. The cultural nationalism movement, led by moderate nationalists, eschewed overt resistance to Japanese imperialism and advocated self-strengthening programs to lay the foundation for future Korean independence. To describe this movement, this book focuses on Kim Songsu and his various projects for Korean modernization. The author provides a narrative that includes encapsulated stories and sheds light on the Japanese colonial policies concerning Korea. A Korean Nationalist Entrepreneur examines Kim’s projects in chronological order, reflecting historian Carter J. Erkert’s statement that Kim’s life history has been so closely intertwined with some of the deepest currents of modern Korean history itself. The book describes how Kim took over and developed a post-elementary school, founded Korea’s first modern textile firm, established one of Korea’s major newspapers, and established Posong Junior College (which later became Koryo University). In 1946, after Korea’s liberation from Japan, Kim became a pivotal figure in the conservative Korean Democratic Party, which became the main opposition party in Korea in the 1950s. He eventually became vice president in 1951 under Syngman Rhee.

A Modern Buddhist Bible $22 The first book to bring together the key texts of modern Buddhism In the last hundred years, the world, especially the West, has increasingly embraced the teachings of Buddhism. A Modern Buddhist Bible is the first anthology to bring together the writings from Buddhists, both Eastern and Western, that have redefined Buddhism for our era. Forging a universal doctrine from the divergent traditions of China, Sri Lanka, Japan, Burma, Thailand, and Tibet, the makers of modern Buddhism saw it as a return to the origin, as renowned scholar Donald Lopez shows. ModernBuddhism is for them a homeward journey to the vision of Buddha himself. Putting far more stress on meditation and spirituality than on ritual and relics, it embraces the ordination of women and values of science, social justice, tolerance, and individual freedom. A Modern Buddhist Bible includes writing by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, T ai Hsu, Cheng Yen, Shaku Soen, D. T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, Gary Snyder, Shunryu Suzuki, andothers who have played a role in the rich and complex movement that fused Eastern insight with Western consciousness. Donald S. Lopez, Jr. is professor of Buddhist and Tibetan studies at the University of Michigan. His most recent books are The Story of Buddhism: A Concise Guide to Its History and Teachings and Prisoners of Shangri-La.

A Nation of a Hundred Million Idiots? $40.81 This book offers a history of Japanese television audiences and the popular media culture that television helped to spawn.

The public discourse surrounding the growth of television revealed its role in forming the identity of postwar Japan during the era of high-speed growth (1955-1973) that saw Japan transformed into an economic power and one of the world’’s top exporters of television programming.

A Social Theory of International Law: International Relations as a Complex System $68.23 There has long been an advocacy for the sociology of international law, and yet it has never been constructed so systematically and axiomatically as in this book. Based on vital terms such as ‘action’ and ’system, ‘ this book has conducted an investigation into the ‘auspices’ or the fundamental international sociological conditions over which international law is built, and accordingly, into how international law can control global relations. The significance of this work lies in its aim of showing by the application of a consistent logic, how complex observed phenomena can be explained and understood on the basis of certain shared fundamental perceptions drawn from common experience. By asking how a state acts in a complex system that consists of at least two subsystems having different goals and different logics, two specific issues are discussed: (1) The relationship between domestic and international law, namely, that between Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan and the UN Charter (especially the provisions for a collective security system as mentioned in chapter VII), (2) The relationship between international law and international politics, namely, the relationship between the prohibition of the use of nuclear weapons and the logic of nuclear deterrence.

A Time to Chant: The S=oka Gakkai Buddhists in Britain $89.71 Fifty years ago Soka Gakkai was an organization of a few hundred people, all of them in Japan. Today it is one of the world’s most rapidly expanding religious movements with members in virtually every country in Europe, the Americas, and Australasia, in most of Asia, and in several parts of Africa. Increasingly well publicized, the movement sponsors a variety of cultural and educational causes, is conspicuous in its work for world peace and the preservation of the environment, and has established for itself a high profile in world affairs. Soka Gakkai is also a significant social phenomenon in its own right, yet it has received surprisingly little attention from Western academics, despite considerable public controversy surrounding its development in Japan. Bryan Wilson and Karel Dobbelaere have undertaken a thorough survey of the UK membership to try to trace the source of the movement’s appeal to its socially diverse constituency. The results of their questionnaire survey were augmented by interviews in which members were encouraged to tell their own story in their own way. Their responses are liberally quoted throughout the book and add illuminating detail to its sociological analysis. The decline in belief in an anthropomorphic deity; the sense that traditional religious institutions have become hollow; the emphasis on the private nature of belief and on personal autonomy are all characteristic features of contemporary Western society. The authors suggest that Soka Gakkai has found a ready resonance with these changing currents of modern thought, and conclude that Soka Gakkai’s appeal to young people in particular makes it a faith well in tune with the times.

A Vietnamese Royal Exile in Japan: Prince Cuong de (1882-1951) $181.83 Prince Cuong De, viewed by the French as a pretender to the Vietnamese throne, was an important and interesting figure in the history of Vietnam’s struggle for independence, but who, highly regarded by many non-communist Vietnamese Nationalists, has been ‘written out’ of Vietnamese history by the communists. This book is based on extensive original research, including interviews and important documents the French national archives. It traces the life of Cuong De as a royal exile in Japan, exploring his links to key Japanese leaders and how he campaigned for his cause and was support in Japan, Vietnam and elsewhere. It shows how Cuong De had great hopes that imperial Japan would advance the cause of non-communist Vietnamese nationalism, especially during the Japanese occupation of Vietnam in 1941-1945, but how these hopes were disappointed as Japan’s Indochina policy gave primacy to Japan’s own economic and strategic self-interest. The book provides many fascinating insights on the developmentof Vietnamese nationalism and thong, harsh struggle for independence, form the perspective of an interesting and undeservedly neglected figure.
