This book is the Proceedings of the First International Symposium
for Science on Form. The Symposium was held on November 26 through
30, 1985 at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. It was organized by
The Society for Science on Form, J:: . pan, and sponsored by the
Foundation for Advancement of International Science (F AIS). The
purpose of the Symposium was to discuss interdisciplinal science
aspects of form. "Form," to exhibit its tremendous characters,
depends on the material and the changes. But, it is the form that
appears evident at once and endures. Form is absorbed from every
field as media of information. Thirty years and more ago,
interdisciplinal problems between earthethics and science were
submitted to a symposium on Form in Nature and Art. The relation
between form and function had been emphasized philosophically and
psychologically. In this quarter century, information theory had
exactly decided figures, electronic computer had easily calculated
graphics, and laser hologram had completely contained the objective
image and reconstructed it.

In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal
recollection, & oral testimony, the author presents a sweeping
history of Asian Americans. He writes of the Chinese who laid
tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in
the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in
the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories
of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment
camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to
adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate & culture, & Asian
American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model
minority." This is a powerful & moving work that will resonate
for all Americans, who together make up a nation of immigrants from
other shores.
