The History of Nations: Japan Post 2

This historical book on the History of Japan is a great way to learn about Japan's culture, and it's past. I have personally learned so much from every few pages, that I was surprised because it looked incredibly boring. (The fact that it was 202 pages did not make the book seem any more interesting.) despite it's seemingly boring topic, I should have been wiser than to "judge a book by it's cover" The amount of information available in this book is unbelievable. I would absolutely recommend this book if you are desperately searching for some history of Japan's economy, culture, geography, or any facts/information on Japan's background, I suggest that you check out this book.
This book includes a detailed chronological table of Japan's history from the many different clans that spawned in the 1600's to the cultural influences from China, to the natural disasters in the 1900's. In history Japan has not been one of the most peaceful nations, yet it is not a violent country. It's people are intelligent and are able to adapt to many geographic changes, and the country itself is full of unique culture and heritage. I am surprised at how much i did not know about the country, and this book is only the first step towards learning about our world, and what is in store for man in the future.
