Nippon Modern
Nippon Modern is the first intensive study of Japanese cinema in the 1920s and 1930s, a period in which the country's film industry was at its most prolific and a time when cinema played a singular role in shaping Japanese modernity.

The book argues that the definition of modern sport is based on certain factors identified through sociologi...
From Sawtelle to Tokyo: Memoirs of a Nisei in Two Cultures
In Wada Memoirs scenes of everyday struggles of the Issei and Nisei are depicted from the early 1930s. This is followed by the Wada-family's evacuation to the desolate internment camp at Poston, and the two children's success in the postwar years as they assimilated into American society. The author's father, born in Kagoshima Prefecture, set sail for Argentina only to find himself on a perilous journey through Mexico, and reaching America in 1916. His mother's family, a long line of doctors and Buddhist priests in Hiroshima Prefecture, also journeyed to the U.S. in search of opportunity. His parents married in 1935. After the family's subsequent return at the close of the war, but life was ...
Marine Metagenomics
This book presents the state-of-art marine metagenome research and explains the method of marine metagenomic analysis in an easy-to-understand manner. Changes in the marine environment due to global warming and pollution have become a major global problem. Maintaining a healthy marine ecosystem requires advanced environmental monitoring and assessment systems. As such, the book presents a novel metagenomic monitoring method, which has been developed for comprehensive analyses of the DNA of microorganisms living in seawater to further our understanding of the dynamics of the marine environment. The book can be used as a primer for new researchers and as a manual on experimental methods.
