Book Description
The book is the first to explore the history and political significance of the Japanese public housing program. In the 1960s, as Japan's postwar economy boomed, architects and urban planners inspired equally by Western modernism and Soviet ideas of housing as a basic right created new cityscapes to house populations turned into refugees by the war. Over time, as Japan's society aged and the economy began to stagnate, these structures have become a burden on society. In this closely researched monograph on the conditions of Japanese housing, Tatiana Knoroz sheds unexpected light on the rise and fall of the idea of social democracy in Japan which will be of interest to historians, architects, and scholars of Asian economic modernization.

Book Description
"'Dissecting the Danchi' takes an unusually in-depth and insightful look behind closed doors of Japanese state-subsidised, suburban housing estates. These buildings were once the pinnacle of modernity and innovation, but the aging structures and their 'unconventional' inhabitants have long since become stigmatised and labelled as undesirable by the mainstream. The book is endlessly rich and unique in that it combines Knoroz' imaginative architectural perspective with the kind of deep ethnography that many anthropologists aspire to. A brilliant bonus lies in her unveiling of "Devicology"; a new methodology to study interior environments more effectively and positively impact on regeneration policies. This is a fascinating and much-needed study of contemporary Japanese homes that will engage readers interested in urban housing issues worldwide as well as those drawn to the complexities and ambiguities of Japanese society." - Inge Daniels, Professor of Anthropology, University of Oxford. Author of The Japanese House, Material Culture in the Modern Home. The book is the first to trace the history of the Japanese public housing program balancing on the rarely explored edge between architecture and ethnography. In the 1960s, when Japan's postwar economy boomed, architects and urban planners inspired by Western modernism and Soviet mass-housing created danchi - clusters of uniform multi-story apartment buildings with standardized interiors, designed to shape new modernized lifestyles for populations turned into refugees by the war. Over time, as Japan's society aged and the economy began to stagnate, these structures have become a popular backdrop for contemporary horror movies and a burden for the government. In this closely researched monograph, Tatiana Knoroz sheds unexpected light on the fate of danchi's nation-transforming interiors, and proposes a multidisciplinary research method for their ongoing regeneration, which will be of interest to architects, historians and anthropologists. Tatiana Knoroz is a scholar with a special interest in Japanese housing, anthropology of lived space and built environment.

Book Description
This book contains the best and most up-to-date contributions in the field of late stage stellar evolution, as presented at the APNVII conference in Hong Kong in December 2017. A total of 60 scientists from 20 countries gathered to present, listen, interact and discuss the most current issues and problems in planetary nebulae and related objects research. The emphasis of this influential series of meetings, which was the seventh occasion over the last 20 years, has always been on the hypothesized and observed physical shaping mechanisms of the ejected nebulae that have such wonderful and intriguing forms. This special Galaxies conference issue of fully refereed contributions brings together a representative compilation of the meeting presentations in paper form. It captures the current “snap shot” status of this research field in some real sense. Such proceedings are well received and can be used as a reference material by both participants and all others working in the field for years to come.

Book Description
The past decade has delivered remarkable discoveries in the study of exoplanets. Hand-in-hand with these advances, a theoretical understanding of the myriad of processes that dictate the formation and evolution of planets has matured, spurred on by the avalanche of unexpected discoveries. Appreciation of the factors that make a planet hospitable to life has grown in sophistication, as has understanding of the context for biosignatures, the remotely detectable aspects of a planet's atmosphere or surface that reveal the presence of life. Exoplanet Science Strategy highlights strategic priorities for large, coordinated efforts that will support the scientific goals of the broad exoplanet science community. This report outlines a strategic plan that will answer lingering questions through a combination of large, ambitious community-supported efforts and support for diverse, creative, community-driven investigator research.

Book Description
The Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa, who died at the age of 88, has been internationally acclaimed as a giant of world cinema. Rashomon, which won both the Venice Film Festival's grand prize and an Academy Award for best foreign-language film, helped ignite Western interest in the Japanese cinema. Seven Samurai and Yojimbo remain enormously popular both in Japan and abroad. In this newly revised and expanded edition of his study of Kurosawa's films, Stephen Prince provides two new chapters that examine Kurosawa's remaining films, placing him in the context of cinema history. Prince also discusses how Kurosawa furnished a template for some well-known Hollywood directors, including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas. Providing a new and comprehensive look at this master filmmaker, The Warrior's Camera probes the complex visual structure of Kurosawa's work. The book shows how Kurosawa attempted to symbolize on film a course of national development for post-war Japan, and it traces the ways that he tied his social visions to a dynamic system of visual and narrative forms. The author analyzes Kurosawa's entire career and places the films in context by drawing on the director's autobiography--a fascinating work that presents Kurosawa as a Kurosawa character and the story of his life as the kind of spiritual odyssey witnessed so often in his films. After examining the development of Kurosawa's visual style in his early work, The Warrior's Camera explains how he used this style in subsequent films to forge a politically committed model of filmmaking. It then demonstrates how the collapse of Kurosawa's efforts to participate as a filmmaker in the tasks of social reconstruction led to the very different cinematic style evident in his most recent films, works of pessimism that view the world as resistant to change.

Book Description
This book examines Japanese wartime zoo policy during World War II, analyzing the reasons why the Home Ministry destroyed more than 300 showpiece animals throughout Japan well before U.S. air strikes were anticipated, with international comparisons of the effects of the war on zoos in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
