In this book Ryoshin Minami studies the last hundred years of
Japan's remarkable economic growth from the Meiji period up to the
present day. First, he reveals the factors which account for
Japan's successful economic take-off during the Meiji period.
Second, he explains why Japan achieved a more rapid rate of
economic growth than other developed countries. This forms the
major part of the book and will interest those in the developed
countries who have felt the full force of Japan's export drive and
whose own industries are consequently in decline. Finally, the
author evaluates the results of Japan's economic growth and makes
predictions for its future. The book makes a comprehensive survey
of the Japanese experience in the pre- and post-war periods and
points out lessons not only for developed countries but also for
developing countries.
This novel in verse won the 2001 Jamaican National Literary Award.
In carefully crafted rhyming quatrains, the poem tells of both
individual and national tragedies as it explores the transformation
of Jamaica from a sleepy rural society to a postcolonial urban one
on the brink of collapse. It is a prophetic work of exasperated
love and the abandonment of old romantic ideals for the harsh glare
of reality.
Ambition, rebellion, loss of innocence, memory, love, death and
spiritual yearning are just some of the themes these poems explore.
With an underlying seriousness leavened by wit and a
self-deprecating humor, this collection engages in a dialogue that
is both intensely Jamaican and universal. Featuring free verse,
rhymed quatrains, haikus, and villanelles in patois and standard
English this book also explores the dynamics, personal and social,
of being a white poet in a black country."

This book discusses the influence of the brain microcirculation on
the development of the pathological changes in Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (CJD). Also, the ultrastructural characterisation of
pathological aspects of cutaneous microcirculation in patients with
vascular cognitive impairments are reviewed. Finally, Non-invasive
diagnostic techniques, such as capillaroscopy and nailfold
capillaroscopy are examined. The former technique is fundamental in
viewing peripheral circulation and in studying microangiopathies.
The non-invasive method of videocapillaroscopy is also discussed in
relation to how it is used to observe the microcirculation
characteristics of the human oral mucosa. Also, Raynaud's
phenomenon, defined as bouts of reversible vasospastic ischemia
typically manifested upon exposure to the cold and/or in
association with emotional stress, are discussed in relation to
nailfold capillaroscopy.
