In case you have students who need an introductory text, and you are not too bored with it, I thought you might like to know that my book Understanding Japanese Society is now out in its 5th edition. Updating is enhanced this time by a contribution to each chapter by a younger scholar working in a field relevant to the subject. I expect Routledge will give out free copies to teachers and reviewers, and if the below code still works (UJS227) all may get a 30% discount.Thanks!
