Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK Guy Kawasaki will often talk about his condition of tinnitis. Doctors are a bit mystified about the condition that means he has a constant ringing in his right ear. They have advised him to cut back on everything from his salt intake to caffeine. Kawasaki has another theory. As a venture capitalist, he has to listen to pitches all the time. He has entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs with 60-slide Powerpoint presentations boasting about patents that are pending, a $50 billion market, and investors that are already on board. Subsequently he has developed this condition that occasionally leads to a sense of vertigo. In the hopes of making his life easier by giving start-ups a guide to the pitch and the abc’s of beginning their business, The Art of the Start was written. Kawasaki admits that the temptation when embarking on a project like this is to want to appear like an omniscient, all-knowing guru who never made mistakes in his career, when in fact he has. What he has used in writing his book is the hindsight of what he wished he had done at different points in his career. MEET THE AUTHOR Coralie would really like to travel constantly. Chasing monkeys off my balcony in the morning sounds like a great morning constitutional, and she loves finding new dishes to try in new out-of-the-way towns. When not travelling, Coralie is planning new trips, taking photographs, playing with he nephews, or writing. She has a day job that helps her pay the bills and a degree in Economics. She is also obsessed with Haruki Murakami novels and his 'words as pictures' style where sheep can talk, and you can always check yourself into the Dolphin Hotel when you need a break. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Throughout his book, Kawasaki peppers the pages with “Exercises” that he uses as useful self-checks for budding entrepreneurs to check whether or not they need to reconsider the direction they’ve chosen for their enterprise. For instance, in the section on The Art of Positioning, Kawasaki discusses naming strategies. He lists pointers and pitfalls of the naming process. He explains that ideally your name should be able to function as a verb and the Exercise after the section immediately asks the reader to use the name of their business in this context to see if it can function as a verb. Another tool that Kawasaki uses that is useful is the section following each chapter entitled FAQ, standing not for Frequently Asked Questions, but instead Frequently Avoided Questions. In this not-so-gentle way he reminds us that as entrepreneurs we tend to develop tunnel vision, disregarding what we dismiss as irrelevant or inconvenient. Only this works to the detriment of the budding entrepreneur as you cannot afford to ignore any facet of a growing business. For instance, in the chapter on The Art of Writing a Business Plan, one FAQ asks: “How frequently should I rewrite my business plan?” Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Description
Concepts associated with nuclear strategy often go beyond any 'objective' logic of deterrence. Nuclear weapons have special roles in different national belief-systems, myths surround them, they have catalysed tensions already existing in societies, become symbols of power or of past sins. This book delves into the conscious and subconscious beliefs in Britain, France and the Federal Republic of Germany (all voiced in debates about nuclear strategy) about society, the State and power structures, each country's place in the world, the international system, allies and enemies.

Book Description
This book begins with the analysis of America’s post-war intelligence operations, propaganda campaigns, and strategic psychological warfare in Japan. Banking on nuclear safety myths, Japan promoted an aggressive policy of locating and building nuclear power plants in depopulated areas suffering from a significant decline of local industries and economies. The Fukushima nuclear disaster substantiated that U.S. propaganda programs left a long lasting legacy in Japan and beyond and created the futile ground for the future nuclear disaster. The book reveals Japan's tripartite organization of the dominating state, media-monopoly, and nuclear-plant oligarchy advancing nuclear proliferation. It details America’s unprecedented pro-nuclear propaganda campaigns; Japan’s secret ambitions to develop its own nuclear bombs; U.S. dumping of reprocessed plutonium on Japan; and the joint U.S.-Nippon propaganda campaigns for "safe" nuclear-power and the current “safe-nuclear particles” myths. The study shows how the bankruptcy of the central state has led to increased burdens on the population in post-nuclear tsunami era, and the ensuing dangerous ionization of the population now reaching into the future.

Book Description
The Russo-Japanese War was the major conflict of the earliest decade of the twentieth century. The struggle for mastery in northeast Asia, specifically for control of Korea, was watched at the time very closely by observers from many other countries keen to draw lessons about the conduct of war in the modern industrial age. The defeat of a traditional European power by a non-white, non-western nation became a model for imitation and admiration among people under, or threatened with, colonial rule. Examining the wide impact of the war and exploring the effect on the political balance in northeast Asia, this book focuses on the reactions in Europe, the United States, East Asia and the wider colonial world, considering the impact on different sections of society, on political and cultural ideas and ideologies, and on various national independence movements.

Book Description
Regionalism has played an increasingly important role in the changing international relations of East Asia in recent decades, with early signs of integration and growing regional cooperation. This in-depth volume analyzes various historical approaches to the construction of a regional order and a regional identity in East Asia. It explores the ideology of Pan-Asianism as a predecessor of contemporary Asian regionalism, which served as the basis for efforts at regional integration in East Asia, but also as a tool for legitimizing Japanese colonial rule. This mobilization of the Asian peoples occurred through a collective regional identity established from cohesive cultural factors such as language, religion, geography and race. In discussing Asian identity, the book succeeds in bringing historical perspective to bear on approaches to regional cooperation and integration, as well as analyzing various utilizations and manifestations of the pan-Asian ideology. Pan-Asianism in Modern Japanese History provides an illuminating and extensive account of the historical backgrounds of current debates surrounding Asian identity and essential information and analyses for anyone with an interest in history as well as Asian and Japanese studies.

Book Description
Using recently released archival material from the US and Japan, this book critically re-examines US–Japanese relations during the tenure of Satō Eisaku, Japan’s longest serving prime minister. During these critical years in the Cold War in Asia, with the Vietnam War raging and the acquisition by China of a nuclear capability, Satō closely aligned with the US. This directly contributed to his success in securing the reversion of Okinawa and other Japanese territories which had remained under US control since Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II. To accomplish this he was also forced to conclude secret agreements with President Richard Nixon, including one on nuclear weapons, which are explored fully. Satō faced the challenge of the Nixon administration’s attempts to shore up the relative decline in American power with policies at odds with allied interests. Satō successfully overcame such challenges and also laid the groundwork for Japan’s anti-nuclear policy.
