Sommario/riassunto

The term soft power describes a country's ability to get what it wants by attracting rather than coercing others--by engaging hearts and minds through cultural and political values and foreign policies that other countries see as legitimate and conducive to their own interests. This book analyzes the soft power assets of the United States and Japan, and how they contributed to one of the most successful, if unlikely, bilateral relationships of the twentieth century.

Titolo

Priscianus embryo et Nascens [[electronic resource] ] : being a key to the grammar-school. In two parts. I. The embryo, presenting a distinct and methodical praxis on all the rules of common accidence, consisting of short, proverbial, sententious, or phraseological examples on all the Latine declensions, adjectives, degrees of comparison, pronouns, verbs and participles in their order, no former example intreching on any rules not learned, excepting the verb substantive, or some such for filling up of the sense. All which may serve indifferently for any Latine Grammar. II. The nascens, tendering a short and familiar introduction into the rules of the Latine syntax, drawn up after the English idiom, or propriety of speech; with many of the English particles explained. Very much conducing to the more facil and secure translating either English into Latine, or Latine into English, than fomerly hath been shewn; it being also a Præludium to the Priscianus Ephesus, which is an explanation of this, and a comprehension of most of the difficulties of Latine Syntax. .
