These updates include: a new discussion of disease and demography in Heian Japan; military archaeology; additional emphasis on the diversity and vitality of artistic-literati life as well as women's history; expanded coverage on relations with the outside world; new material on Facism as a path toward modernity in both Japan and China; expanded coverage of Japan's Great Recession; and much more.
The four-color design features many illustrations, including maps, timelines, and other photos, and provides concise, yet complete coverage.
