Japan's Changing Generations argues that 'the generation gap' in
Japan is something more than young people resisting the adult
social order before entering and conforming to that order. Rather,
it signifies something more fundamental: the emergence of a new
Japan, which may be quite different from the Japan of postwar
decades.
It argues that while young people in Japan in their teens,
twenties and early thirties are not engaged in overt social or
political resistance, they are turning against the existing
Japanese social order, whose legitimacy has been undermined by the
past decade of economic downturn. The book shows how young people
in Japan are thinking about their bodies and identities, their
social relationships, and their employment and parenting, in new
and generationally contextual ways, that may help to create a
future Japan quite different from Japan of the recent past.

Gain a foundational understanding of how endocrine and metabolic
physiology affects other body systems in health and disease,
including the clinical dimensions of reproductive endocrinology.
Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology, a volume in the Mosby
Physiology Series, explains the fundamentals of this complex
subject in a clear and concise manner, while helping you bridge the
gap between normal function and disease with pathophysiology
content throughout the book. Helps you easily master the material
in a systems-based curriculum with learning objectives, Clinical
Concept boxes, highlighted key words and concepts, chapter
summaries, self-study questions, and a comprehensive exam. Includes
nearly 200 clear, 2-color diagrams that simplify complex concepts.
Features clinical commentaries that show you how to apply what
you've learned to real-life clinical situations. Keeps you current
with recent advances in endocrine physiology with expanded material
on reproductive endocrinology and metabolism, and many updates at
the molecular and cellular level. Covers the latest developments in
fertilization, pregnancy, and lactation, as well as fetal
development, puberty, and the decline of reproductive function with
age. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced
eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references
from the book on a variety of devices. Complete the Mosby

Weigh pivotal healthcare ethics, law, and public policy issues that
resulted in tipping-point legal actionsWeighing the ethical
considerations in healthcare and drug issues can be emotionally
difficult and mentally challenging. Drugs, Ethics, and Quality of
Life: Cases and Materials on Ethical, Legal, and Public Policy
Dilemmas in Medicine and Pharmacy Practice is a fascinating
casebook that clearly discusses the most contentious ethical
conflicts that resulted in legal actions. This easy-to-read text
provides all sides of controversial real-life cases that provoke
spirited debate while teaching the fundamentals of pharmacy law and
ethics. The book is a unique exploration into the basic principles
of bioethics, end of life care, and drug research. Drugs, Ethics,
and Quality of Life explains in detail the concepts of ethics,
quality of life, beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and
justice. Recent cases provide illuminating backdrops for the
exploration of these concepts, making them easily understood. A
special introduction includes important information about ethics
and the pharmaceutical code of ethics. Two appendixes provide
further opportunities for discussion and the examination of law and
decisions, and resources about drug use decisions and situations.
This thought-provoking textbook plainly shows the crucial role
ethics plays in today's society. Ethical topics explored in Drugs,
Ethics, and Quality of Life includes legal cases on: tobacco COX-2
inhibitors medical marijuana the morning after pill and other
emergency contraceptives pain medications and palliative care drugs
physician-assisted suicide drug use in medically futile situations
gene therapy Drugs, Ethics, and Quality of Life is valuable,
insightful reading as well as a good adjunct text for pharmacy
students, pharmacists, medical students, physicians, bioethicists,
students interested in bioethics, institutional ethics committee
members, and anyone interested in bioethics.
In this collection of more than 200 stunning and storied
photographs, ranging from daguerreotypes to studio portraits to
snapshots, historian Bruce White explores historical images taken
of Ojibwe people through 1950 and considers the negotiation that
went on between the photographers and the photographed-and what
power the latter wielded. Ultimately, this book tells more about
the people in the pictures-what they were doing on a particular
day, how they came to be photographed, how they made use of
costumes and props-than about the photographers who documented, and
in some cases doctored, views of Ojibwe life.
Progress in nanoscale engineering, as well as an improved
understanding of the physical phenomena at the nanometer scale,
have contributed to the rapid development of novel nanostructured
semiconducting materials and nanodevices. Using new approaches,
semiconductor structures can be fabricated with sub-nanometer
accuracy and precisely controlled electronic and optical
properties. The immense technological potential and new exciting
physics have stimulated interest in semiconductor nanostructures
over several years. This book brings together a single
comprehensive overview of recent progress and future directions in
nanoscale semiconductor research. Fields ranging from materials
science to physics, chemistry, electrical and microelectronic
engineering, circuit design, and more, are represented. Topics
include: quantum dot theory, growth and optics; single quantum dot
spectroscopy; charge and spin; Si/Ge quantum dot structures;
bio-quantum dots; electric force microscopy and charge injection;
transport; Si nanocrystals and nc-Si superlattices; Si/Ge
nanostructures; bioactive nanostructures; lithographic techniques
and lateral nanopatterning; semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes;
metallic and rare-earth-doped nanoparticles; theoretical studies
and numerical simulations in Si/SiGe nanostructures and
applications of Group IV nanoscale materials.
