Biographical Dictionary of Japanese History
"The history of Japan is one of the longest continuous records of a nation state. Although its system of government has undergone several radical transformations, the present titular head of state, the emperor, is the 124th in an unbroken line that extends back two thousand years or more to the legendary Emperor Jimmu. The expansion of interest in Japanese studies has created a strong demand for general reference works, particularly in the field of history. The present volume, compiled and translated over a six-year period, fills the urgent need for a dictionary designed for systemic use as a quick reference tool. Arranged alphabetically in each chronological division, the 521 entries, each one a concise biography, cover all major political, intellectual, and religious figures from ancient times to present." --

Maritime China in Transition 1750-1850
This collection contains an introductory essay by Wang Gungwu and 22 studies originally read to an international conference organized by the Department of History, National University of Singapore. The contributions investigate diverse aspects of coastal Chinas commercial, demographic and other ties with the Nanyang region and other maritime areas, such as Japan, mainly in the period circa 1750-1850. This includes themes related to the microlevel of local changes, such as Chinese migration to Taiwan and various Southeast Asian destinations, as well as broader approaches to regional, institutional and other trends, combining philological and theoretical knowledge. In most cases both Asian and colonial sources were used to illustrate the dynamics of Chinas maritime orientation under the Qing, the growth of its overseas communities, and the impact of Chinese traders and sojourners on Europes outposts in the Malay world and around the South China Sea.
