Dialogue -The Yes Interviews
A series of interviews with members of the progressive rock band YES by Jon Kirkman.
YesTales
There has been no more influential or enduring force in the history of progressive rock music than Yes. From their hit songs "Roundabout" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" to classic albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge and 90125, Yes has innovated its way inexorably into rock history. And the drama of the band's 30-year history surpasses even that of the music. Rock music critic Scott Robinson turns the history of this most revered band on its ear by telling it in the most irreverent of forms - the limerick.

Athalie
The mother said nothing. From moment to moment she turned her head on the pillow and gazed down at her new daughter with a curious, questioning expression. She had never gazed at any of her other children so uneasily. Even after she fell asleep the slightly puzzled expression remained as a faint crease between her brows. Her husband, who had been wandering about from the bar to the office, from the office to the veranda, and occasionally entirely around the exterior of the road-house, came in on tiptoe and looked rather vacantly at them both. Then he went out again as though he was not sure where he might be going. He was a little man and mild, and he did not look as though he had been created for anything in particular, not even for the purpose of procreation. It was one of those early April days when birds make a great fuss over their vocal accomplishments, and the brown earth grows green overnight—when the hot spring sun draws vapors from the soil, and the characteristic Long Island odour of manure is far too prevalent to please anybody but a native.

An Islander archeological team on a routine dive off the coast of New Jersey dies from an explosion while surveying an eighty-year-old WWII submarine wreck. Shelly Islander, head of the dive team and wife of the founder of the Islander Foundation, is one of the casualties, and her husband, John, searches for answers. In his search, John determines that the explosion that killed the team was deliberate and that a mystery ship had been keeping watch on the dive. John recruits' members of the salvage crew and his wife's staff, whom she affectionately referred to as the girls, as they chase the mystery ship until it disappears near the Saint Lawrence Seaway.Further evidence leads them to Havre-S...
One World of Welfare
One World of Welfare offers a systematic, comparative examination of Japan's welfare policies and a critical assessment of previous research. Gregory J. Kasza rejects the view that the Japanese welfare system is unique; he challenges the nearly universal belief that the postwar Japanese state neglected welfare to promote rapid economic growth; he rejects the claim that there is a regional welfare model in East Asia; and he uses the Japanese case to question the dominant framework for comparative welfare research. The author explores the relevance of both convergence and divergence theories for understanding the Japanese record and spotlights the importance of international influences on the ...
Social Dialogue and Pension Reform

Yes - expanded edition
Yes are the archetypal 1970s progressive rock group. Playing powerful and adventurous music when it was briefly part of the mainstream, the band thrilled millions with their iconic albums and epic live shows. Records like Fragile and Close To The Edge helped define an era and although the band dissolved at the end of the decade, Yes emerged once again with 90125, a streamlined, modern sound in the 1980s and a US number one hit single in ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’. Now in their sixth decade, the band continues to release albums and play live into the new millennium, despite numerous, sometimes controversial, lineup changes. This book examines each one of Yes’s studio albums, highlighting...
