Japanese manga (comics), manzai (dialogues), television, advertising and popular songs are the medium for a revealing examination of the many contradictory forces at work beneath the surface of an apparently uniform and universal culture. The author argues that the iconography of these popular forms has deep and significant implication for the development of Japanese Japan -- Social life and customs -- 1945-Popular culture -- JapanRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCEast AsiaHILCCJapanSocial life and customs1945-Electronic books.Japan -- Social life and customs -- 1945-.Popular culture -- Japan.Regions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHistory & ArchaeologyEast Asia306.09520904952.04Tsurumi Shunsuke1922-,846584AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910458198703321A cultural history of postwar Japan 1945-19801891601UNINA05306nam 2200685 a 450 991102036660332120200520144314.09786611285012978128128501012812850139780470277980047027798X97804702779730470277971(CKB)1000000000407996(EBL)335766(SSID)ssj0000123013(PQKBManifestationID)11157703(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000123013(PQKBWorkID)10174110(PQKB)11190487(MiAaPQ)EBC335766(OCoLC)232611336(Perlego)2755421(EXLCZ)99100000000040799620071004d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrClassical algebra its nature, origins, and uses /Roger CookeHoboken, N.J.

Existence and Constructibility of RootsThis insightful book combines the history, pedagogy, and popularization of algebra to present a unified discussion of the subject. Classical Algebra provides a complete and contemporary perspective on classical polynomial algebra through the exploration of how it was developed and how it exists today. With a focus on prominent areas such as the numerical solutions of equations, the systematic study of equations, and Galois theory, this book facilitates a thorough understanding of algebra and illustrates how the concepts of modern algebra originally developed from classical algebraic precursoAlgebraAlgebraHistoryAlgebraic logicAlgebra.AlgebraHistory.Algebraic logic.512Cooke Roger1942-731611MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911020366603321Classical algebra2198560UNINA
