Axelbank, Albert - Black Star Over Japan: Rising Forces of Militarism. George Allen & Unwin. 1972, UK 1st. The Japanese are the only people in the world who have experienced the horror of nuclear weapons with their own flesh. Atomic holocaust was followed by American eccupation and the American inspired, postwar Japanese 'Peach Constitution,' which explicitly outlaws Japanese military forces and the use of war as an instrument of state policy. Axelbank contends that contemporary forces within Japan are combining to create a strong movement for revision of the constitution and for the acquisition of nuclear weapons by a renewed and powerful military establishment. The conservative ruling political party has close links with the growing military 'Self-Defense Forces' and the traditionalist right wing. The ruling party is dominated by the zaibatsu, the powerful Japanese industrial elite, who are increasingly involved in the manufacture of armanents. The opposition consists of a liberal press, a large but relatively powerless left wing, and the 'nuclear allergy' of the Japanese people. The American government, which until recently encouraged rearmament, is now beginning to wonder about the world effect of an economically powerful, rearmed Japan, and is weighing the consequences of considering Japan its only major ally in East Asia. Axelbank suggests that shifting international politics and the conservative momentum in Japan make revision of the constitution and the development of Japanese militarism and nuclear weapons almost inevitable.

Burton, Richard and Arbuthnot, F. F. - The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana. Guild, 1987 reprint. The ... a Sanskrit book of about the third century A.D., has for long been honoured in India as the earliest Indian treatise on the science and art of sex and love.

Its purpose is to discover in what ways happiness and enjoyment can be best achieved. While sharing the Indian attitude to love as an ecstatic experience, it assumes that sexual happiness is founded on scientific knowledge and to this end it provides a series of chapters based on the practical experience of sex. In this respect it is a forerunner of the marriage guidance books of today. The ... underlies all later Indian writings of love including Sanskrit love poetry and is a classic contribution to Indian culture. ...

Preface: 'The following articles plainly relate the impressions of a short visit to the Western Front - impressions photographed in the writer's mind during a tour along the firing-line, where all branches of the Service coul be seen 'carrying on' under the grim conditions of modern warfare. To those who have never seen it, the Front is a mystic region, its actual appearance outside the scope of imagination. The writer's endeavour has been to bring back a picture of what he saw and present it in simple narrative form, so that those at home may know what sort of country this terrible conflict is being fought over, what Belgium and France are suffering under the ruthless heel of the invader, and with what sublime devotion and umnparalleled cheerfulness our heroic soldiers are facing death Out There'. The back board has an advert for Fry's Cocoa, the caption is: 'Hungry Hun from water-logged trench sniffing the aroma of Cocoa: "Hi! Tommy, Haf You Fry's? We Plenty Water Haf". Spine missing, general edge wear, boards delicately attached, name written on half-title, 'dusty' external edges, internally clean, no wrapper. An interesting item.

Lofgren [Löfgren], Eva Margareta - Schoolmates of the long-ago: Motifs and Archetypes in Dorita Fairlie Bruce's Boarding School Stories. Symposion Graduale, 1993, 1st. The traditional boarding school story is one of the most interesting genres in British children's literature, but one of the most neglected by literary historians. The girls' school story has been even more neglected than the boys' story, but includes many of the best remembered stories from the first half of the 20th C. During the period between the Wars girls' fiction was almost synonymour with the school story. One of the leading writers in the genre is [was] Dorita Fairlie Bruce (1885-1970), creator of "Dimsie", "Nancy" and "Springdale" books. Here is for the first time a comprehensive presentation of this author, her life and works and her special landscape on the West Coast of Scotland, all set against the background of the history of the school story from the 18th C up to our own days. There has been a renewed interest in recent years, among collectors and historians of children's literature, in these fascinating stories of schoolgril friendship and rivalty.
