When I attended the NCTA's Seminar at the University of Florida, they gave us a pile of books. Don't you just love free stuff? When I switched careers to become a teacher, one of the deciding factors was the simple fact that I love to learn. I had no idea there would be so many educational opportunities provided.
This book is very easy to read while also being very informative. Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print. However, the author has a newer book that looks like an updated version. Twice the number of pages though. "Japan (Asia in Focus)".
Japan's Geography. Japan is comprised of four major islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku, plus THOUSANDS of smaller ones. From its northernmost tip in Hokkaido to its southernmost in Kyusu, Japan extends from Maine to Alabama. Because Japan is separated from the rest of Asia by water, even its distance to Korea and China are great, it avoided invasion until 1945 (WWII). Due to minimal immigration or migration the Japanese race has maintained its homogeneity.
