Available for the first time in many years, Commonsense and Nuclear Warfare presents Russell's keen insights into the threat of nuclear conflict, and his argument that the only way to end this threat is to end war itself. Written at the height of the Cold War, this volume is crucial for understanding Russell's involvement in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and his passionate campaigning for peace. It remains an extremely important book in today's uncertain nuclear world, and is essential reading for all those interested in Russell and postwar history. Includes a new introduction by Ken Coates, Chairman of The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation.
Bringing together the work of sixteen international Japan
specialists and scholars, this book analyzes Japan's culture and
history to reflect on the critical policy decisions and national
commitments required for the country to continue to succeed.
Comparing the current situation with the uncertainties of the late
nineteenth century, this book investigates the possibility and
desirability of a "New Meiji Transformation" in Japan. Set in the
context of perceived demographic, ecological, fiscal and political
decline in Japan, it explores what a New Meiji initiative would
look like in the twenty-first century and whether a new era of
renewal is needed to maintain and improve quality of life. An
interdisciplinary volume, this book covers contemporary issues in
Japanese foreign, defense and nuclear strategies, as well as its
aging population, higher education structure and environmental
policies. As such Japan's Future and a New Meiji Transformation
will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese
politics, economics and history, as well as Asian Studies more
generally.
The multiple and diverse forces of globalization have, indeed,
affected Japan significantly over the past decades. But so, it must
be said, has Japan influenced a variety of critical global
developments - globalization is not a one-way street, particularly
for a nation as economically influential and technologically
advanced as Japan. The chapters in this collection examine the
impact of globalization on Japan and the impact of Japan on the
forces of globalization from the various disciplinary perspectives
of business, the economy, politics, technology, culture and
society. They also explain the manner in which the nation has
responded to the economic and cultural liberalization that has been
such a profound force for change around the globe. This
comprehensive collected works brings the latest research to bear on
this important subject and provides evidence of the long history of
global influences on Japan - and Japanese impacts on the rest of
the world. This book will be of interest to students and scholars
of globalization, Japanese Studies, and Asian Studies.

Underlying current controversies about environmental regulation are
shared concerns, divided interests and different ways of thinking
about the earth and our proper relationship to it. This book brings
together writings on nature and environment that illuminate thought
and action in this realm.
Can the problem of poverty simply be confined to a lack of adequate
money income? Does the degree of social deprivation correlate with
individual poverty? In 1966, a social survey was conducted into the
living, social and working conditions of the residents of the St
Ann's area of Nottingham. It asked: are such areas more delinquent
than others? How far did the existence of areas of poverty
correlate with political and social apathy? And above all what were
the attitudes of people who lived in such conditions: were they
aware of their position as being in any sense deprived or
underprivileged and did they accept their status or challenge it?
The survey was conducted under the auspices of the Adult Education
Department of the University of Nottingham and it gave rise to a
film directed by Stephen Frears.
