A verse-novel that won the Jamaican National Literary Award in 2001, View from Mount Diablo explores the transformation of Jamaica from a sleepy colonial society to a post-colonial nation. Class and racial privilege and the resentments they provoke unders
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.
