Book Description
Unavailable as a collection until now, these essays document both the intellectual journey of one of the world's leading architects and a critical period in the evolution of architectural thought. Born in Tokyo, educated in Japan and the United States, and principal of an internationally acclaimed architectural practice, celebrated architect Fumihiko Maki brings to his writings on architecture a perspective that is both global and uniquely Japanese. Influenced by post-Bauhaus internationalism, sympathetic to the radical urban architectural vision of Team X, and a participant in the avant-garde movement Metabolism, Maki has been at the forefront of his profession for decades. This collection of essays documents the evolution of architectural modernism and Maki's own fifty-year intellectual journey during a critical period of architectural and urban history. Maki's treatment of his two overarching themes—the contemporary city and modernist architecture—demonstrates strong (and sometimes unexpected) linkages between urban theory and architectural practice. Images and commentary on three of Maki's own works demonstrate the connection between his writing and his designs. Moving through the successive waves of modernism, postmodernism, neomodernism, and other isms, these essays reflect how several generations of architectural thought and expression have been resolved within one career.

Book Description
?The founder of the Panasonic Group was poor, frequently got sick, only a few-year formal schooling, and no real business experience. That was his start of real life except the happy recollection of childhood for a few years. When he began apprenticeship in Osaka, far from his birthplace, there was no bright future, nor a probability of success in business. However, his way of thinking, passion and sincerity worked to his great success. This book was published by Nikkei, Inc. first in 1989 in book form, and PHP published its edition, adding new photographs in 1998. The book is divided into two parts. Part One, written at the age of 61, covers Konosuke Matsushita’ life from childhood to the reconstruction of Matsushtia Electric. In the Part Two, the period from the end of the war to his resignation as chairman to assume the post of executive advisor at the age of 78 is covered. He told in this book, “One way of qualitatively improving management is to view it as a form of art. Art is a highly regarded creative activity, and I believe that management is a creative undertaking that deserves similar social recognition.” His enthusiasm for the work was sublimated in this book.

Book Description
Increasingly, adolescents and young adults in the United States are racially and socioeconomically diverse, while the teaching population remains predominantly white and middle class. Many youth ministry programs that utilize volunteer mentors recruit adults who are ill-equipped to bridge cultural differences and effectively build sustainable relationships with adolescents who come from different backgrounds than their own. College and university campus ministries that are historically white struggle to provide adequate support and mentoring for students who have traditionally not been represented in the college population. Often, mentoring relationships break down over cultural misunderstandings. As educators who come from backgrounds marked by privilege, Katherine Turpin and Anne Carter Walker draw from their experiences in an intentionally culturally diverse youth ministry program to name the challenges and inadequacies of ministry with young people from marginalized communities. Through engaging case studies and vignettes, the authors re-examine the assumptions about youth agency, vocational development, educational practice, and mentoring. Offering concrete guidelines and practices for working effectively across lines of difference, Nurturing Different Dreams invites readers to consider their own cultural assumptions and practices for mentoring adolescents, and assists readers in analyzing and transforming their practices of mentoring young people who come from different communities than their own.
