A Social History of Science and
Technology in Contemporary Japan
Volume 1
edited by Shigeru
Nakayama

This is the first volume of a comprehensive, six-volume
survey documenting the miraculous growth of Japanese science and
technology from postwar devastation to leading global status. Vol. 1
deals with the Occupation period 1945-52. A team of over 50 Japanese
experts labored for ten years to assemble the unique materials into a
monumental work of careful scholarship. The study won the prestigious
Mainichi Publications Award in 1995.
