Japan's Early Parliaments, 1890-1905: Structure, Issues and Trends (Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies)

Japan's Early Parliaments, 1890-1905 is the first detailed study of the early history of the Japanese Diet, providing a thorough discussion of the origins of the Japanese parliament, still the central institution of Japanese politics, and its development during this formative period. Drawn from primary sources, including the Diet records and contemporary newspaper reports, the studies in this book cover specific topics and issues debated in the Diet such as the land tax increase, the debate on poor relief, and the Japanese Commercial Code of 1890. The authors also look at the structure of the Diet and the role of the separate Houses, setting their findings in the context of wider Japanese political history.

Grabbing flights for less than $10, Andrew Fraser took off on a month long jaunt around ten European cities for not much more than $200. In this entertaining account of his trip, he not only describes what he saw, but also how he did it, coaching aspiring travelers, wherever they may be, in how to create their own dream travel itineraries on flights which cost less than an airport latte. Forget London, Paris and Madrid, and join him on a bargain journey to some of Europe's weirdest, least visited backwaters, while also learning how to plan a ten-city adventure of your own. Andrew Fraser travelled 6,928 miles at an average cost of 3 cents per mile. Now you can, too. This unique title—the only one available that explains how to travel so far for so little—takes in some of Europe’s least discovered cities, including Skopje, Girona, Thessaloniki, Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw, as well as giving an entertaining overview of some more familiar places, such as Barcelona, Rome and Brussels. It also includes suggested itineraries connecting US cities to make travel planning easier. In addition, it tells you how to book secret five star hotels for three star prices with no mystery about where you are going to stay, how to travel the world cheaply from your local airport, no matter where in the world your starting point may be, and how to save a fortune and create an adventure by abandoning the notion of the linear return flight. Uncovering the little known travel gems which you can fly to for less than $15, it is also an often surreal, idiosyncratic and funny account of one man’s adventures on the move, from attending an octopus autopsy in Barcelona to unearthing uncomfortable secrets in Europe's new Capital of Culture and discovering hip Warsovian apartments which straddle the worlds of Molotov and Madonna. What’s more, it’s a journey in search of culture, gastronomy and history and—on occasions—the seamier side of life in some of Europe's most thrilling but least known cities. Andrew Fraser is former Travel Editor and Deputy Editor of Attitude magazine, and former Chief Writer of OK! Magazine. He has had a love of the obscure, a love of bargains, and a love of travel since he was a strange eight year-old-boy locked in his bedroom obsessing over maps of Narnia-esque towns, cities and regions on the red side of the European map, which he was told he would never be able to visit. When the Berlin wall fell in 1989, he rushed to Prague, Bratislava and Budapest where he enjoyed the greatest adventure of his life so far, costing little more than cents. Now the internet and low cost airlines have brought back those halcyon days of cheap travel bliss and Andrew Fraser’s mission in life is to transport you to places beyond your wildest dreams for less than the cost of your airport latte. Come join him.

For more than two centuries, Newfoundlanders took their small native horse for granted, but a basic question is whether the Newfoundland exists as a true breed. This fascinating and well-researched book tells how the pony has been bred exclusively in this insular location, without significant introduction of fresh blood fo a hundred years. It is, therefore, a distinct breed of horses in all senses except for the existance of a stud book. Pedigree did not make a horse work better - performance was everything, papers were nothing in the reality of old Newfoundland life. Newfoundland ponies apparently have New Forest, Connemara, Welsh, Galloway and Highland influence showing in some individuals; Exmoor and Dartmoor in most. They represent a potpourri of Mountain and Moorland breeds fron the old British isles. Their physique and temperament are particularly well-suited to the environment; the rocky ground, the long winter, the strong winds off the cold Atlantic Ocean. In 1980 the Newfoundland Pony Society was officially formed. At that time it was estimated that the whole island had a population of about six thousand ponies; estimates in 1995 place the numbers remaining at below 200. This remarkable pony remains on the edge of extinction. Chapter content includes: Old Times Distant Pony Ancestry The Travelling Horse The Moorland Pony A Diffuse Equine Family The Newfoundland Pony Breed The Working Newfoundlander Pony Tales Raised In Newfoundland The Ways Of The Pony The Newfoundlands Future
