Mini reviews
Books I’ve been reading recently that I haven’t had time to review but would highly recommend (in no particular order):
Office Ladies and Salaried Men- Yuko Ogasawara (University of California Press). A real inside look on what goes on in Japanese offices between Japanese men and women. Surprising and fascinating.
Getting Wet- Eric Talmadge (Kodansha). More than you wanted to know about Japanese people getting hot and naked in onsen- it all starts to make sense after reading this.
Pre-school in Three Cultures- Tobin, Wu and Davidson. Unusual conclusions and unusual way of reaching them, interesting for those who have no contact with Kindergartens in either China, Japan or the US too.
See page on the right for many many more mini, and not so mini-, reviews.
