Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Postwar Japan as History by Andrew Gordon This study examines the 45 years of post-war Japanese history, describing the related themes: Japans extraordinary economic growth and the endurance of conservative rule. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Japans catapult to world economic power has inspired many studies by social scientists, but few have looked at the 45 years of postwar Japan through the lens of history. The contributors to this book seek to offer such a view. As they examine three related themes of postwar history, the authors describe an ongoing historical process marked by unexpected changes, such as Japans extraordinary economic growth, and unanticipated continuities, such as the endurance of conservative rule. A provocative set of interpretative essays by eminent scholars, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of twentieth-century Japan and the dilemmas facing Japan today. Author Biography Andrew Gordon is Professor of History at Duke University. His latest book, Labor and Imperial Democracy in Prewar Japan (California, 1990), won the John K. Fairbank Prize of the American Historical Association. Table of Contents Peace and Democracy in Two Systems: External Policy and Internal Conflict, John W.

Eine Vielzahl bedeutender, aber auch seltener Ritualtraditionen sind in dieser Sammlung zu einem reprasentativen Querschnitt der religiosen Praxis der orthodoxen Schule des tibetischen Buddhismus zusammengefaat worden. Die Zusammenstellung erfolgte unter dem Gesichtspunkt, eine vollstandige Praktizierung der Kulttraditionen zu ermoglichen. Die Erschlieaung und detaillierte Beschreibung der Sammlung gewahrt somit nicht nur einen grundlegenden Einblick in die Vielfalt der religiosen Praxis, sie gibt daruber hinaus jedem Interessierten ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel fur die weitere Beschaftigung mit der Materie an die Hand. In dem jetzt vorgelegten dritten Katalogband werden mehr als 200 Einzeltexte zum Kult der sogenannten Himmelsgangerinnen und Schutzgottheiten der Religion vorgestellt. Die Einleitung erlautert ausfuhrlich Stellung, Klassifizierung und Kultpraxis der Gottheiten nach dem Lehrsystem der orthodoxen Schule des tibetischen Buddhismus. .
