| NOTA |
(★)(Addressing both the cultural context of behavior and the behavioral manifestations of culture, the 1974 edition of this text yielded a multi-faceted yet remarkably integrated portrait of the Japanese. Within its pages classical stereotypes and seemingly contradictory behaviors were appraised, put into perspective, and made comprehensible.／ Now, in response to the rapid changes taking place in contemporary Japanese culture as well as to new developments in the social sciences, the editors have completely revised their original volume. The revisions have been guided by ten years´ use of the first edition in the classroom and the comments of numerous readers and reviewers. Of the 23 essays, 13 are new additions. Every chapter offers insights into one aspect or other of contemporary Japanese life. Newly included are discussions on such topics as dinner entertainment, skiing cross-culturally, male chauvinism as a manifestation of love in marriage, and domestic violence. Ten chapters have been retained from the first edition because they have achieved the status of classics.／ The editors have endeavored to present a diversity of perspectives and topics including a mix of Japanese and Western contributions representing a variety of disciplines --anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, and linguistics. Like the first edition, this volume is divided into four sections. Part 1 focuses on morality as a combination of culturally articulated and shared value standards imposed upon the individual. Part 2 presents patterns of interaction, communication, and grouping as a social bridge between culture and individual. Part 3 addresses some aspects of child rearing and one aspect of adult training. Part 4 turns to a few manifestations of pathology and to a variety of culturally available therapies. Each of the four parts is prefaced by an editorial commentary. A much needed index has been added.／ ▼CONTENTS／ ●PART ONE : MORAL VALUES AND SENTIMENTS／ 1.Human Nature in the Japanese Myths (John C.Pelzel)／ 2.The Monkey Memorial Service of Japanese Primatologists (Pamela J.
