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.

A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of
California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the
foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When
the first edition of "A" "Different Mirror "was published in 1993,
"Publishers Weekly "called it "a brilliant revisionist history of
America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural
studies" and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now
Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn's best-selling "A People's
History of the United States "for younger readers, turns the
updated 2008 edition of Takaki's multicultural masterwork into "A
Different Mirror for" "Young People."
Drawing on Takaki's vast array of primary sources, and staying true
to his own words whenever possible, "A" "Different Mirror for Young
People "brings ethnic history alive through the words of people,
including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters,
diaries, and poems. Like Zinn's "A People's History," Takaki's "A"
"Different Mirror "offers a rich and rewarding "people's view"
perspective on the American story.
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.
This is a book of advice and stories by a professional film editor.
Why did we drop the bomb? Was it really a military necessity? In this concise and tightly focused study, a prizewinning historian takes a fresh look at the record -- and shows how a desire to intimidate the Russians, anti-Asian prejudice, and, most tellingly, the psychological makeup of Harry Truman contributed to this century's most momentous military decision.

This research is motivated by my belief that sociological research
can make significant contributions to issues of international
development, and the idea of human development advocated by the
United Nations in their efforts to enhance people's capability to
have a decent standard of living in developing countries. The
concept pertinent to human development promotion is capacity
development which means the enhancement of the social organizations
of individuals with skills and resources to resolve various
development problems, such as poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy,
and environmental degradation. This research attempts to understand
how social structure shapes people's capability by studying social
and economic lives of micro-scale entrepreneurs in Ghana in order
to identify how social structure enhances or constrains their
capability, and to reveal ways to make social structure promote
human development.

A pathbreaking work by one of the leading scholars in the field, Iron Cages, provides a unique comparative analysis of white attitudes towards Asians, Blacks, Mexicans, and Native Americans in the 19th century, offering a cohesive study of the foundations of race and culture in America. In a forward-looking new epilogue, Takaki argues that the social health of the United States largely rests on the ability of Americans of all races and cultures to build on an established and positive legacy of cross-cultural cooperation in the coming 21st century.
