• SUMMARY: "Language and Society in Japan deals with
issues important to an understanding of language in
Japan today, among them multilingualism, language and
nationalism, technology and language, discriminatory
language, and literacy and reading habits. It is organized
around the theme of language and identity in particular
the role of language in constructing national,
international, and personal identities. Contrary to
popular stereotypes, Japanese is far from the only
language used in Japan, and the Japanese language itself
does not function in a vacuum, but comes with its own
cultural implications for native speakers. Nanette
Gottlieb's book builds on and develops her previous
work on different aspects of the sociology of language in
Japan. It will be essential reading for students, scholars,
and all those wanting to understand the role played by
language in Japanese society."--BOOK JACKET.

AIDS and cancer in a deadly new guise. Kaoru Futami, a
youth mature beyond his years, must hope to find
answers in the deserts of New Mexico and the Loop
project, a virtual matrix created by scientists. The fate of
more than just his loved ones depends on Kaoru's

• ISBN: 978-1-876843-62-5
• PHYSICAL DESC: xxiii, 283 p. :ill. ;22 cm. Book

• SUMMARY: "This is an award-winning book that brings
together Chizuko Ueno's groundbreaking essays on the
rise and fall of the modern family in Japan. Combining
historical, sociological, anthropological, and journalistic
methodologies, Ueno, who is arguably the foremost
feminist theoretician in Japan, delineates in vivid detail
how the family has been changing in form and function in
the last hundred years. In each chapter Ueno introduces
the reader to a different facet of modern family life,
ranging from children who fantasize being orphans to the
elderly who confront 'pre-senescence.' The central focus
is on the housewife: her history, her ever-changing
responsibilities, her ways of surviving mid-life crisis.
This is an indispensable book for students and scholars
seeking to understand modern Japan." -- BOOK

• SUMMARY: "It is said that marriage is about compromise,
and no one understands this more than newlywed Noriko,
who marries into the well-established Shito family. Four
generations, eight in-laws--all under one roof--is an
untenable proposition, unsettling at best for any bride,
but Noriko's new family members are sweet and caring.
Living with them is a delight, and Noriko seems to have
the perfect marriage. Yet, the appearance of a
disheveled man--asking suspicious questions about her
new in-laws--plants a seed of doubt in Noriko's mind,
while she is hanging laundry one morning. Paranoia
grows. The unusual behavior of her new family, which
she once perceived as charming eccentricities, now
appear to be sinister in nature. Their kind smiles, once
filled with warmth, now disguise dark secrets. As Noriko
delves deeper into the family's machinations, she
awakens to the horrifying reality of 'marital
compromise'."--Publisher's website.

• SUMMARY: Ocean Waves is high school love story set in
Kochi, Japan. Morisaku Taku and Matsuno Yutaka are
best friends when a girl from Tokyo named Muto Rikako
transfers to their school. Excluding herself from group
activities, she’s eventually labeled a snob. Matsuno has
a crush on Rikako, so it’s no surprise that he gets a little
jealous when Morisaku and Rikako start spending more
time together. The rumors around school get worse, but
Morisaku still insists there is nothing between him and
Rikako.

• SUMMARY: "When prototype models of a device for
entering into patients' dreams go missing at the Institute
fro Psychiatric Research, it transpires that someone is
using them to manipulate people's dreams and send
them insane. Threatened both personally and
professionally, brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba
has to journey into the world of fantasy to fight her
mysterious opponents. As she delves ever deeper into
the imagination, the borderline between dream and
reality becomes increasingly blurred, and nightmares
begin to leak into the everyday realm. The scene is set
for a final showdown between the dream detective and
her enemies, with the subconscious as their battleground,
and the future of the waking world at stake."--C

• SUMMARY: "Defying the commonly held perceptions of
time and space, and escaping any easy classifications,
Yasutaka Tsutsui's stories centre on the folly of human
desire. Most of his characters suffer awful fates as a result
of their own foolishness, which usually takes the form of
greed, lust or vanity. With influences as diverse as
Darwin, Freud and the Marx Brothers, his writing
displays a mixture of pathos, slapstick and psychological
insight, shot through with bolts of Kafkaesque
inventiveness."--Cover.

• SUMMARY: Shunju has taken Tokyo's food world by storm!
It is the brainchild of Takashi Sugimoto - Japan's leading
restaurant designer (better known to his friends as the
inimitable "Super Potato"). The Shunju philosophy is to
present the finest, freshest ingredients in their purest
form and to use minimal cooking methods, in keeping
with traditional Japanese esthetics. The exquisite flavor
of seasonal delicacies such as lightly grilled spring
bamboo shoots, sauteed summer ayu, sake-infused wild
autumn mushrooms, and slow-cooked winter crab in a
spicy hotpot delight the senses. This collection of
innovative recipes from Shunju has long been awaited by
devotees of the "new Japanese cuisine."

• SUMMARY: Telling the personal stories of Australians in
Japan and Japanese in Australia, this book explores
issues of race, identity and ambition in times of war and
peace. The essays collected here illuminate a variety of
fascinating lives and individual achievements, from trade
to literature and the arts, the media and the justice
system. For over 150 years, people have been shaped by
and contributed to the breadth, strength and diversity of
the Australia-Japan relationship. As the editors and their
contributors contend, a transnational relationship is
ultimately constituted by hundreds of untold, seesawing
and yet fruitful personal encounters that overcome
prejudice, and blur the boundaries set by official and
unofficial racial mores.--publisher.

• PUBLISHER: London : Vintage, 2009.
• ISBN: 978-0-09-952615-5 (pbk.)
• PHYSICAL DESC: vii, 179 p. ;20 cm. Book
• LANGUAGE: Text in English. Translated from the Japanese.
• SUMMARY: In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote
himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A
year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to
Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to
mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed
books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had
on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue,
training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir
covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York
City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu
Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an
Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young
women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens
of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights:
the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer,
his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion
for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing
his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny
and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk
About When I Talk About Running is rich and revealing,
both for fans of this masterful yet private writer and for
the exploding population of athletes who find similar
satisfaction in distance running.
