An history of science perspective provides insight into their role, helping us to understand the hybrid identity of Japanese scientists, and how they reinvented not only themselves, but also Japan. The book is special in that it uses the history of science to deal with issues relating to Japanese identity, and how it was transformed in the decades after Japan's defeat. It explores the lives and work of seven physicists, two of whom were Nobel prize winners. It makes use of little-known Occupation period documents, personal papers of physicists, and Japanese language source material. 410 0$aStudies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aMusic 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture 606 $aJapan$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aAsian History 606 $aMusic 606 $aRegional Cultural Studies 606 $aHistory of Japan 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 0$aMusic. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aJapan$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aAsian History. 615 24$aMusic. 615 24$aRegional Cultural Studies. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 676 $a338.952/06 700 $aLow$b Morris$0909278 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970113403321 996 $aScience and the Building of a New Japan$94331192 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04076nam 22007211 450 001 9910956233503321 005 20100920083156.0 010 $a9786612875618 010 $a9781441160546 010 $a144116054X 010 $a9781472549006 010 $a1472549007 010 $a9781282875616 010 $a1282875612 010 $a9781441168894 010 $a1441168893 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472549006 035 $a(CKB)2670000000056436 035 $a(EBL)601728 035 $a(OCoLC)676697549 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000417441 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11291438 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000417441 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10363479 035 $a(PQKB)10219406 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC601728 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL601728 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10427478 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL287561 035 $a(OCoLC)893335158 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09255438 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6163622 035 $a(UtOrBLW)BP9781472549006BC 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000056436 100 $a20140929d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aExploring the spiritualities of the world religions $ethe quest for personal, spiritual and social transformation /$fDuncan S.

Discussing contemporary issues such as post-modernism and the emergence of a "new paradigm," the new realities of geopolitics, globalization and global warming, this book explores the importance of religion in people's lives to provide direction in the society today. This book demonstrates the common quest among the world religions for a deeper and more profound spirituality. Describing the spiritual pathways of the various world religions, it assesses the ways that the beliefs, values and practices of these traditions can be life-giving, leading to personal and social responsibility and transformation, but also sometimes harmful and divisive, even used for dangerous purposes. Promoting constructive engagements between the world's religions, this book will connect social justice and ethical engagements with core religious practices and spiritualities. This is an ideal introductory text for students of world religions, spirituality and interfaith relations, broadening their understanding of these lived faiths."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aReligions 606 $2Christian spirituality & religious experience 615 0$aReligions. 676 $a204 700 $aFerguson$b Duncan S$g(Duncan Sheldon),$f1937-$0866688 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956233503321 996 $aExploring the spiritualities of the world religions$94336279 997 $aUNINA
