American History in Transition
In American History in Transition, Yoshinari Yamaguchi provides fresh insights into early efforts in American history writing, ranging from Jeremy Belknap’s Massachusetts Historical Society to Emma Willard’s geographic history and Francis Parkman’s history of deep time to Henry Adams’s thermodynamic history. Although not a well-organized set of professional researchers, these historians shared the same concern: the problems of temporalization and secularization in history writing. As the time-honored framework of sacred history was gradually outdated, American historians at that time turned to individual facts as possible evidence for a new generalization, and tried different “scientific” theories to give coherency to their writings. History writing was in its transitional phase, shifting from religion to science, deduction to induction, and static to dynamic worldview.

The Construction of Canadian Identity from Abroad
Migration and the impact that immigrants have on Canada is and always has been central to a robust understanding of Canadian identity. However, despite claims that “the world needs more Canada,” Canadians, their governments, and scholars pay much less attention to the estimated 3 million Canadian expatriates who live elsewhere. The Construction of Canadian Identity from Abroad features Canadian scholars who live and work outside Canada (or have recently returned to Canada) and who write and think deeply about identity construction. What happens when that Canadian is a scholar whose teaching, research and scholarship, professional development, and/or community engagement focuses directly on Canada? How does being abroad affect how we interpret Canada? In short, in what ways does “externality” affect how Canadian expat scholars intellectually approach, construct, and identify with Canada? This engaging volume is ideal for university students, scholars, government officials, and the general public.
Recueil de décrets de trois ères méthodiquement classés, livres 8 à 20
Considerable quantities of decrees were issued in Japan after the implementation of the administrative and penal codes in 702. Parts of these decrees were officially compiled in 820, 869 and 907, and these three compilations were recast in the eleventh century under the title " Methodically Arranged Decrees of Three Eras ", Ruijû sandai kyaku. The texts were arranged categorically : religious worship, administration, taxation, defense, suppression of crimes, etc. Although the three earlier compilations are no longer extent, the more than one thousand decrees of the later compilation have been preserved, supplying rich material on the management of administrative personnel and the difficulties of applying a complex fiscal system.
