This book introduces a multilayered approach to the study of
democracy, combining specific knowledge of Japan with theoretical
insights from the literature on democratization. It examines
different aspects of Japanese democracy-historical, institutional,
and sociocultural-to provide a conscious understanding of the
nature and practice of democracy, both in Japan and beyond. The
book's chapters give testimony to the dynamic nature and continuity
of Japanese democracy and analyze its strengths and weaknesses. The
central argument of this book is that Japan's democratization
should be seen as a multilayered experience shaped by the gradual
process of absorbing democratic ideas, forming democratic
institutions, and practicing democratic behaviors and rituals at
various levels of society. As the case of Japan shows, democracy is
neither a structured formula nor only a set of democratic laws and
institutions, but a continuous, gradual process.

The secrets of Unicorn Island are all revealed in the final book in
Epic’s middle-grade fantasy series! When Sam and Tuck discover a
way to unlock the answers they’ve been seeking, they must set out
to discover the truth… For Sam, knowing a little about her
mother’s disappearance through the portal is almost worse than
knowing nothing at all. Determined to distract herself, she tries
to learn everything possible about caring for the herd on Unicorn
Island. But when she and her friend Tuck stumble on a coded verse
in The Unicorn Protector Creed, they are faced with an even greater
task. With no way of knowing what’s beyond it, Sam, Tuck, and
Barloc the unicorn step through the portal and find that not only
is Sam’s mother no longer a unicorn protector, she also lives in
a world plagued by its own problems—and convinced that the only
solution to them rests in the horn on Barloc’s head. With the
portal closing at sundown on the third day, Sam and Tuck are in a
race to rescue their friend, reunite their families, and save
another world from a terrible fate of its own making!
In Visions of Democracy and Peace in Occupied Japan, Sigal
Ben-Rafael Galanti examines American occupation of Japan during
World War II and the evolution of Japan's political parties to
highlight the country's struggles for a democratic and peaceful

examines the pre-war, pro-democratic ideals and legacies that built
Japan's political parties and the parties' evolving views on regime
matters, socioeconomic structure, international relations, and
security both during and after the country's occupation by American
forces.

Antigone was originally produced in Paris in 1942, when France was
occupied and part of Hitler's Europe. The play depicts an
authoritarian regime which mirrors the predicament of the French
people of the time. Based on Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy,
Antigone which was first performed in Athens in the 5th century BC,
its theme was nevertheless topical. For in Antigone's faithfulness
to her dead brother and his proper burial and her reiterated "No!"
to the dictator Creon, the French audience saw its own resistance
to the German occupation. The Germans allowed the play to be
performed presumably because they found Creon's arguments for
dictatorship so convincing. The play is regularly performed and
studied around the world. "Anouilh is a poet, but not a poet of
words: he is a poet of words-acted, of scenes-set, of
players-performing" Peter Brook

though the fall of France was imminent, a handful of French pilots
continued to fight on against the Germans. Translated by Lewis
Galantiere.
Healthcare providers in the American medical system may find
that patients from different cultures bring unfamiliar
expectations, anxieties, and needs into the examination room. To
provide optimal care for all patients, it is important to see
differences from the patient's perspective and to work with
patients from a range of demographics. "Caring for Patients from
Different Cultures" has been a vital resource for nurses and
physicians for more than twenty years, offering hundreds of case
studies that illustrate crosscultural conflicts or
misunderstandings as well as examples of culturally competent
health care.Now in its fifth edition, "Caring for Patients from
Different Cultures" covers a wide range of topics, including birth,
end of life, communication, traditional medicine, mental health,
pain, religion, and multicultural staff challenges. This edition
includes more than sixty new cases with an expanded appendix,
introduces a new chapter on improving adherence, and updates the
concluding chapter with examples of changes various hospitals have
made to accommodate cultural differences. Grounded in concepts from
the fields of cultural diversity and medical anthropology, Caring
for Patients from Different Cultures provides healthcare workers
with a frame of reference for understanding cultural differences
and sound alternatives for providing the best possible care to
multicultural communities.
