Shogun (Item 0440178002), Mass Market Paperback, 1210 pages, James Clavell, published by Dell from sharisgarden.net Online Stores! This book spans a well-crafted period of transformation on the part of Blackthorn, an English pilot for a fleet of Dutch ships that reach the end of its foreshortened journey on the shores of Japan. Though the book might follow Blackthorn on his journey though various levels and occasions of Japans society, it is really more a story that attempts to explain Japan and why it is the way it is. The book loves to highlight the geisha and openness of naked bodies that are found in Japan. www.sharisgarden.net /mystores/item_0440178002.html

Paquin's Book Page This book chronicles one calendar year in which the couple settles in, discovers the environs, and deals with a host of wacky contractors whose missions don't seem to include completing their work. This monster book is the manifesto of the philosophy which Rand calls "objectivism" and which is hard to summarize, but let's say: reason and competence should defeat all else. These books are hard to find, but can be found in English bookshops in Tokyo and Kinokinuya and such. www.mozilla.org /newlayout/testcases/stress/wbhtmmix.html

StuPage Book Reviews: Authors C GAI-JIN: This is the last book that Clavell wrote. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading. Shogun: ABSOLUTELY the BEST book on the Far East that I've ever read. webhome.idirect.com /~squish/reviewsc.htm

List of Chinese Medical Classics, Complementary and Alternative Healing University  現代中藥辭典 The book is organized into 23 types of formulae: strokes, liver, gall bladder, pain of muscles and bones, heart, small intestines, diseases of the digestive system, diseases of the lung and kidney channels, headache and dizziness. It is a book that encompasses most of the medical theories and applications at that time plus his personal experiences. Later in 1267 A.D. he completed the second book where he included 24 chapters of treatment discussion which was not included in the first book and he added 90 more formulae. www.chu.users2.50megs.com /list_of_Chinese_medical_classics.htm

Barnes & Noble.com - Shogun The book is full of interesting characters that will all play a large roll in the big picture no matter how many times they appear. I bought this book during Christmas break and read it during the month of January and it is the best (and only) epic tale of Japan I've read. The book follows Blackthorne a Englishman who has run ashore in feudal Japan and must adapt to their culture quickly. search.barnesandnoble.com /booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=y65opk1ACT&isbn=0440178002&itm=1

Sword It is a paperback book beginning with the history of Kendo and the development of the art through some of its greatest swordsman leading to the refinement of the art. This book is your guide to their martial traditions, the koryu bujutsu-ancestors of the modern Japanese martial arts. This book fills the gap in training of the modern swordsman by providing bokuto drills to supplement the formal class activity of forms practice. www.ecmas.com /sword_books.htm

Bluesocks in Tokyo: Shogun Pt. 3 I definitely recommend you to read this book. Yesterday I went to the book shop to check out some other stuff similar to it. After finishing Shogun, I was still in the mood for all this great samurai drama so I thought about reading Musashi, but decided to take a break. www.bluesocks.org /archives/000151.html

A Gaijin's Guide to Anime and Manga Since the subject matter was mostly humor, they were commonly referred to as "comic" books; this name still applies to all genres, regardless of whether they are funny or not. Although Tezuka was obviously influenced by the American comic book as a format, his content did not mimic the most popular American genres at the time (namely superhero, war and westerns) because the American Occupation placed restrictions on publications of a militant nature. Indeed, comic books were published in Japan in the early twentieth century; the more popular ones were martial adventures aimed at children. www.scifidimensions.com /Jun00/comics_anime_manga.htm

Katalog Bücher: Gai-Jin, English edition James Clavell Dell Publishing Company Gai Jin, like his previous efforts, had a wonderfully complex plot, with many interesting characters and scenes of extreme violence. This book is exteremely well written, the characters well developed, and all eventually tied together in a remarkable climax that will shock even the reader accustomed to Clavell's writing. That he was old and sick when he wrote the book does make me thankful that at least I got one more Clavell novel to enjoy. www.himmlische-preise.de /amazon_shop/detail_pID-044021680X,qmode-1/pages/Gai-Jin,_English_edition.html

Amazon.com: Books: Gai-Jin Certainly, there was another book in the works as is evident from Whirlwind and Gai Jin plot lines but with Clavell now gone, it may fall to a talented fan of his to finish the saga off. gai jin, gal jin, jin leader, two shishi, other shishi, sonno jot, tai pan, sonno joi, shishi attack, samurai officer, samurai guards, nothing into nothing, mail ship, right smartly, gomen nasai, four samurai, most daimyos, other samurai, samurai status, two samurai, his disquiet The book in typical Clavell fashion talks about the history of Japan after the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853 as well as of China while it was divided up into spheres of influence. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/044021680X?v=glance

Keith Wease Home Page The rest of the books are SIGNED directly on the book, with no inscriptions, writing or bookplates and are all first edition, first printings in F/F condition (other than some minor wrinkling on the spine of a couple of the dust jackets). Because of the rarity of The Simeon Chamber, I had to settle for an ex-library book, with the normal library faults (a stamp on the FFEP and the top of the page edges, and some damage to the endpapers when the original dust jacket protector was removed after being glued down!). This is the complete set of James Grippando's books, all SIGNED directly on the book, with no inscriptions, writing or bookplates and are all first edition, first printings in F/F condition. www.keithwease.com /otherbooks.html

Observer Read 'em and weep Mark Haddon's book is told in the constricting voice of a boy with Asperger's syndrome who has a love of Sherlock Holmes and the mathematics of cosmology and an inability to understand emotion. His book Bad Men, also set in Maine, begins, as a Stephen King book might, with a bad man dreaming in prison of killing a child and of looking on as a six-year-old girl is raped. Reading the books that have found their way to the top of the publishing pyramid reminded me of the several years I spent reading those stories that made up the foot of the pile. observer.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4711158-102280,00.html

Amazon.com: About Colin Willey: Reviews This was my first Demille book I read, and I am quite thankful to the bloke that lent it to me. Going into the novel, I didn't have any reservations, and I hadn't heard much buzz from Demille. The strongest aspect about the book was the clever way in which Clavell weaved all the history, politics and character development together into a fascinating story. However, around the mid-point of the novel, the story starts to fizzle and becomes a little stale, the plot comes to a roaring halt and nothing much else happens for the remainder of the book, which is too bad because Clavell, built it up so well. www.amazon.com /gp/cdp/member-reviews/A1YDQUV75DYPE2?_encoding=UTF8

Recommended Books by Recommended Authors While earlier books dealt with the relationship of western and eastern cultures, the story in Gai-Jin seemed to focus solely on the rape and sexual abuse of a young woman. The books are mostly loosely based on the life of Admiral Thomas Cochrane who eventually became the commander of all the British navy. His books are fun to read, though they stretch the limits of credulity. gary.appenzeller.net /Books.html

The People of Kenpo Karate It is commonly known that Gai Jin children are regarded as second class citizens by native Japanese. His name is synoymous with every history of the style, and he is credited with the publication of the oldest written book on the style of Kenpo. It is noted in the forward of a limited edition of the book published in 1977 that, "This book was the first publication on karate printed in a dialect other than Okinawan." www.kenpotigers.com /People_of_Kenpo.htm

Mohism A second example is the chief argument against extravagant funerals (Book 25). Fragments preserved in the Da Qu, Book 44 of the Mozi, maintain that we are to care equally for everyone, but to benefit some people more and others less, depending on the nature of their relation to us. For the Mohists, the key criterion of knowledge is not the mere ability to make correct statements -- as when the blind "name the names ‘white’ and ‘black’ in the same way" as the sighted -- but the ability to "distinguish the things" denoted by these words (Book 19, "Rejecting Aggression"). plato.stanford.edu /entries/mohism

Reading, sorted by author Maclean's book is a report on a (true-life) forest fire tragedy in Montana that leads him to question not only his own art of story-telling, but also the mysteries of nature, death, and optimism. The whole series (twenty books) is so marvelous that reading the final ten last summer and fall meant that I always had something to look forward to. I loved this book and its self-absorbed narrator, its nostalgia, its analysis of poetry, and its insistence that we read between the lines. members.aol.com /mikeroam/reading_alpha_author.html

Greenwood Publishing Group I1 "Macdonald analyses Clavell's books King Rat, Tai-Pan, Shogun, Noble House, Whirlwind, and Gai-Jin. The chapters on specific novels provide interesting background information that enhances appreciation of story development...readers are encouraged to bring individual analysis to the work through the "Alternative Reading" section included at the end of each chapter...The value of this book and the series is the serious approach taken to these popular books. The discussion should be especially appealing to teen readers because of its adult approach and vivid explanations. info.greenwood.com /books/0313294/0313294941.html

The Ultimate RAB book list Almost all of the books present are ones I haven't read (which is probably what prompted me to save the note!) and some are books I've read and didn't like much. The only consistent feature of the books on this list is that someone posted on the net that they recommended it for some purpose. The listings span the range from banned (or attempts made) books to those recommended for children, current bedside reading to books that changed someone's life. www.radix.net /~bobg/books/rab.long.list.html
