A History of Korea
A History of Korea is a translation of Professor Hatada Takashi's Chosenshi, undoubtedly the best known survey history of Korea ever written. For almost two decades this work, which surveys developments on the Korean peninsula from the prehistoric period to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, has been standard reading for students of Korean history throughout the world. The translators remark that they were attracted to Hatada's work by ". . . the skill with which the author revealed the interrelationship between political history and social and economic development" (p. vi).

He provides one of the most lucid and accessible accounts of Zen practice and meditation to be found anywhere in East Asian literature.

An Ecological Approach to Development in Five Chinese Villages, 1916-1980 (approx.)
This study asserts as its primary premise that development is about more than economics, it is also about history, social organization and most importantly, it is about the Chinese people. The Conceptual Framework encompassed both the Ecological Model and the assumptions of its adherents, and the theories of some Rational Choice New Institutionalists. The Ecological Model was organized according to several rubrics and attempted to show how peasants and the elite coped in their natural and in their social environments. Much has been written about the Chinese peasant, some of which is contradictory. The approach used in this study will hopefully contribute to these ongoing scholarly discussion...
