Tokyo--City of Contradictions? Yes and no! The largest city in the world teems with chaotic energy and serene, human-scale beauty. Want to know the real city? Writing about Tokyo for over 15 years, essayist and professor Michael Pronko opens up Tokyo life and reveals what's beneath the gleaming, puzzling exterior of the biggest city in the world. Whether contemplating Tokyo's odd-shaped bonsai houses, endless walls of bottles, pachinko parlors, chopstick ballet or the perilous habit of running for trains, the 45 essays in Beauty and Chaos explore Tokyo from inside to reveal the city's deeper meanings and daily pleasures. In turns comic, philosophic, descriptive and exasperated, Pronko's essays have been popular with Japanese readers for more than a decade. Essay Topics Include:Waiting to Blossom Cherry Tree MapsThe Shout of English T-ShirtsHanging MenusInside the Smallest PlacesStanding LibrariesIf you're traveling to Tokyo, these essays enlarge the significance and illuminate the contradictions of this fast-paced megalopolis. Part travelogue, part comparative culture, and all creative essay, Beauty and Chaos taps the mysteries of Tokyo and lets the meanings flow.

This book presents a fresh overview of the Vikings from both conceptual and material perspectives.The prevailing image of a Viking is frequently that of a fierce male, associated with military expansion and a distinctive material culture.In an engaging survey, Saebjorg Walaker Nordeide and Kevin J.Edwards analyse Viking religion, economic life and material culture in and beyond the Scandic homelands.Although there is a conventional Viking Age timeframe of ca.AD 800 to 1050 (the Scandinavians are usually associated with hit-and-run attacks beginning with the raid on the Abbey of Lindisfarne in 797), their military expeditions actually started earlier and were directed eastwards.Scandinavians moved beyond the Baltic coast to Constantinople.To the south and west, France, Iberia, and the islands of Great Britain and Ireland witnessed, variously, trade, invasion, and settlement.The essentially unpopulated islands of the North Atlantic Ocean were subjected to a Norse-led diaspora with the Scandinavian settlers perhaps over-reaching themselves in Newfoundland and ultimately abandoning their Greenlandic colonies.The Vikings have maintained a resonance in the popular imagination to the present day.
