Book Description
Most people have never heard of Biafra or the war that nullified its birth and impending existence as a country. But those who lived the war still feel the sting and stigma of their wartime experiences. Knowing the history of a people helps one to understand them, giving rise to compassion rather than condemnation or alienation. This is also true for a people’s posterity to ensure negative history never repeats itself. Though the land’s rising sun is currently dimmed along its horizon, it will never be utterly extinguished and allowed to completely set because of the voices of those still crying out from it. Read on to discover the indigene experience of wartime Biafra through the eyes of a young nurse, chronicled in a historical fiction tribute.

Even casual observers will be familiar with the Cherry Blossom or Sakura tress of Japan. When in full bloom the sight is spectacular but it sadly only takes a week until the tree is bare. In a longer cycle of nations and business, we see, unfortunately, a similar pattern for Japanese Multinational Corporations.

The AMAZING similarity of Native American INDIAN language to that of ancient ASIA. NOW, after 500 years, we can finally understand the rich language & landmarks used by the native "Indians." Words like Massachusetts, Michigan, Dakota, Missouri, tomahawk, Kimosabe, Kansas, Arizona, etc. Taking a broad-brush look at America's early natives, a whole new perspective of AMERICAN HISTORY is unfolded. A rich & surprising history! For the FIRST TIME, the Indian language is explained & the reasons for the enigmas of Indian history are reported. Where did the AZTECS say they came from? What does their name mean? The CAHOKIA mounds were the center of a Mississippi EMPIRE of the SUN. America was split up into two sides of the "KAN - Mississippi river." KANSAS & KENTUCKY sides. Why did Coronado fail to find the 7 golden cities of CIBOLA? CIBOLA is at last found & golden cities existed! Why did Columbus know that he was close to CHINA & JAPAN? Because the Caribbean, Mexico & the Americas used a similar unique ancient language. The Copernican theory boldly abandoned the concept of an earth-centered universe - this new bold hypothesis can dramatically change our social history perspective as well.

Rising Sun and Divided Land provides a comprehensive, scholarly examination of the historical background, films, and careers of selected Korean and Japanese film directors. It examines eight directors: Fukasaku Kinji, Im Kwon-teak, Kawase Naomi, Miike Takashi, Lee Chang-dong, Kitano Takeshi, Park Chan-wook, and Kim Ki-duk and considers their work as reflections of personal visions and as films that engage with globalization, colonialism, nationalism, race, gender, history, and the contemporary state of Japan and South Korea. Each chapter is followed by a short analysis of a selected film, and the volume as a whole includes a cinematic overview of Japan and South Korea and a list of suggestions for further reading and viewing.

Book Description
"Japan and China have been rivals for more than a millennium. Until the late nineteenth century, China was the more powerful, while Japan took the upper hand in the twentieth century. Now, China's resurgence has emboldened it as Japan perceives itself falling behind, exacerbating long-standing historical frictions ... Dreyer argues that recent disputes should be seen as manifestations of embedded rivalries rather than as issues whose resolution would provide a lasting solution to deep-standing disputes"--Jacket.
