Technology won what banzais lost TOIO: THE LAST BANZAI analysis
Courtney Browne reviews a study of Japan in World War II, tracing Western stereotypes of Japanese as weak and the shift in perception as the Pacific war unfolded. The book argues Tojo’s image was constructed and later exposed, while highlighting Japan's postwar technological rise.

Asmat Art in Context by Adrian Gerbrands
Eight months with West Irian’s Asmat wood-carvers reveal ethno aesthetic study of art in its context. Gerbrands sketches eight master-carvers, examining individualism within a rigid cultural framework and testing creativity beyond traditional wood forms through drawing and table pieces.

The jargon of sociology ISRAELI SOCIETY review
A critical review of Eisenstadt's Israel as a sociological text notes its vivid material and data but condemns the prose for overuse of jargon. The observer finds the abstraction heavy and wishes for clearer illustrations to flesh out the theory. The reviewer discusses transition in Israeli society from egalitarian communalism to professionalised, modern industry.
