Martin Dusinberre, "Hard Times in the Hometown: A History of Community Survival in Modern Japan" English | 2012 | pages: 266 | ISBN: 0824835247 | PDF | 4,6 mb Hard Times in the Hometown tells the story of Kaminoseki, a small town on Japan's Inland Sea. Once one of the most prosperous ports in the country, Kaminoseki fell into profound economic decline following Japan's reengagement with the West in the late nineteenth century. Using a recently discovered archive and oral histories collected during his years of research in Kaminoseki, Martin Dusinberre reconstructs the lives of households and townspeople as they tried to make sense of their changing place in the world. In challenging the familiar story of modern Japanese growth, Dusinberre provides important new insights into how ordinary people shaped the development of the modern state.

Handbook of Japanese Grammar By Harold G Henderson 2010 | 372 Pages | ISBN: 0415592860 | PDF | 22 MB This grammar has been written to help the student to think in the Japanese way. Part One contains several introductory notes on Nomenclature, Syntax, Verbs, Aru, Iru, Oru, on Adjectives and on Foreign Words. Part Two concentrates on connectives - the particles and suffixes which modify the sense of other words or show the relationship of these words to each other. These connectives, the heart of Japanese grammar, present unusual difficulty to foreign students. Arranged alphabetically in dictionary form, each word is followed by a textual explanation of how it is used and of its various meanings, with cautions as to its translation. The forms covered include not only those of the "standard" colloquial literary or bungo styles, but also the more common colloquialisms and provincial forms, whether or not these are strictly grammatical. No other text available makes as through or as complete a classification.

At such a time, animals drop lower on their hindquarters, prepared for a quick departure if the situation warrants. The whites of the eyes are seldom visible in animals except when they are extremely tense and frightened. In the deer sketch, the stretched necks also help to convey tensio Janet Y.
