Culture, Community and Change in a Sapporo Neighborhood, 1925-1988 by John MockThis volume is a historical study of the social relationships in a relatively small area, a micro-study, and the adaptation to the changing urban environment is drawn out in detail. Using a variation of a modern world system approach, the analysis examines the historical connections and adaptations of the neighbourhood dealing with external forces from the large city, from the region, from the nation and even from the international arena.

The Impact of Internationalization on Japanese Higher Education by John Mock (Volume Editor); Hiroaki Kawamura (Volume Editor); Naeko Naganuma (Volume Editor)"Deftly avoiding both the zealous idealism of the policymaker and the cynical realism of the practitioner, the contributions to this volume offer empirically grounded, culturally nuanced analyses of university internationalisation in practice. Recommended reading for anyone interested in Japanese higher education today, and a fine example of how to blend engaging 'insider'stories with rigorous scholarly analysis." -- Jeremy Breaden, PhD (Melbourne), Lecturer in Japanese Studies, School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, Monash University
