Post-war Reconstruction of the Japanese Economy
Months before the end of World War II, a committee of economists and other professionals commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs began meeting secretly to draft plans for the reconstruction of Japan after what by then was seen as the nation's inevitable defeat. This volume is a translation and analysis of their report, which was released in September 1946 after more than a year of deliberations under the leadership of Professor Hiromi Arisawa of the University of Tokyo. In retrospect, the report stands as a landmark document in the economic history of Japan and provides a new perspective on the spectacular economic growth that was to follow

With hawks and angels: episodes from a Southern life
In: Willie Morris books in memoir and biography
"With Hawks and Angels: Episodes from a Southern Life chronicles the fortunate life of a man born in the Cajun country of Louisiana and his interaction with the three distinct parts of his home state: the swampy, laissez-faire South where he was born, the red clay hills and piney woods of northern Louisiana where his relatives lived, and exotic New Orleans, where he was educated. Author Joel Lafayette Fletcher III examines his childhood on the campus of what is now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where his father, Joel Lafayette Fletcher Jr., was president for twenty-five years, to his time as a student at Tulane. The book follows Fletcher through his service as a naval officer-when he began to admit to himself, accept, and explore who he really was-to his life in Europe and, eventually, Virginia where he now resides. With Hawks and Angels intimately explores the life of a young man growing up in the racially segregated Deep South while coming to terms with being gay at a time when being out was not socially acceptable. Based on his personal journals and recollections and filled with the unique characters he met along the way, With Hawks and Angels is the culmination of writing that, for Fletcher, was a way of holding onto an important part of his true self that for many years he felt compelled to hide"--
The critic's daughter: a memoir
"Growing up on the Upper West Side of New York City in the 1970s, in an apartment filled with dazzling literary and artistic characters, Priscilla Gilman worshiped her brilliant, adoring, and mercurial father, the writer, theater critic, and Yale School of Drama professor Richard Gilman. But when Priscilla was ten years old, her mother, renowned literary agent Lynn Nesbit, abruptly announced that she was ending the marriage. The resulting cascade of disturbing revelations--about her parents' hollow marriage, her father's double life and tortured sexual identity--fundamentally changed Priscilla's perception of her father, as she attempted to protect him from the depression that had long shadowed him. A wrenching story about what it means to be the daughter of a demanding parent, a revelatory window into the impact of divorce, and a searching reflection on the nature of art and criticism, The Critic's Daughter is an unflinching account of loss and grief-and a radiant testament of forgiveness and love"--
