Japanese Society and History seeks to initiate westerners to the learning process of making Japan seem a little less mysterious and a little more understandable. This book walks readers through some of the important features of Japanese society to help readers begin slowly forming a more complete picture of Japan.

Japanese Society and History is a unique text and effective teaching tool designed for use in comparative sociology and political science courses, as well as courses in Asian Studies.

Japanese Society and History explores a variety a topics in Japanese society, including geography, language, history, cultural themes, family life, education, religion, politics and government, and the economy.

Would you try another book written by Harold Kerbo and John McKinstry or narrated by Eva Wilhelm?

Never anything narrated by Eva Wilhelm

Would you ever listen to anything by Harold Kerbo and John McKinstry again?

Maybe. They are knowledgeable and interesting.

Would you be willing to try another one of Eva Wilhelm’s performances?

Never. I honestly thought it was being voiced by a robot until I checked. The intonation and emphasis were so flat and irritating that I was going to return the book.

Was Japanese Society and History worth the listening time?

Yes, after a boring start it was an interesting and thought provoking listen.

Any additional comments?

Clearly written for the American audience.

Aimed only at US students this book is really patronising and talks down to the listner. If your not American and more then 10 years old give it a miss. There are much better volumes available.
