Sinopsis

"Rising Sun: The Journey of a Nation" is a captivating exploration of Japan's rich history, vibrant culture, and remarkable transformation from ancient times to the modern era. Spanning centuries of change, this comprehensive book delves into the forces that have shaped Japan into the nation it is today.

Beginning with the earliest settlements and the hunter-gatherer societies that laid the foundation for Japan's unique identity, the book traces the nation's journey through the Jomon and Yayoi periods, highlighting the artistic achievements and cultural exchanges that shaped its early development.

As Japan entered the imperial era, the grandeur of the imperial courts and the rise of Buddhism left an indelible mark on the nation's spiritual and cultural landscape. The emergence of the samurai, with their fierce loyalty and unwavering discipline, added a new dimension to Japan's political and social fabric.

The Edo period, a time of relative peace and prosperity, witnessed a flourishing of arts, culture, and economic growth. Merchants and artisans thrived, creating a vibrant urban culture that celebrated the beauty of everyday life. However, tensions simmered beneath the surface, leading to the dramatic events of the Meiji Restoration, which ushered in a new era of modernization and transformation.

In the modern era, Japan faced the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world. It navigated the complexities of international relations, balancing its national interests with its commitment to global cooperation. The nation grappled with demographic shifts, technological advancements, and environmental concerns, seeking a sustainable path forward.

"Rising Sun: The Journey of a Nation" offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of Japan's past, present, and future. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis, the book captures the essence of this extraordinary country, shedding light on its unique traditions, cultural achievements, and the indomitable spirit of its people.

    In this collection of poetry, written over half a lifetime, Hayley Ann Solomon focuses primarily on the pursuit of excellence, immortality achieved through finite life, love in all its forms, and social justice. As it waxes and wanes, the collection cycles through sequences of lyrical ballads, sonnets, elegies, haiku, snippets of nonsensical verse; all blended with a substantial dose of existential philosophy and social comment. 
    The collection covers a full spectrum, from the darkest psycho-social moments, to zeniths of absolute joy. The liberal use of consonance, assonance, alliteration, echoes and half-echoes, rhyme and cross-rhyme make for a style rich in sound-play. This, together with strong metrical awareness – very often iambic or trochaic pentameter and tetrameter – evokes a flow that is quite typically euphonic. There is therefore a sense of lyricism despite a broad diversity of topics and moods. 
    The anthology evolves to become a promise of regeneration, in synchrony with the phases of the moon, from which it takes its celestial title.

    Robert Craig Knievel (October 17, 1938 - November 30, 2007), known as Evel Knievel, was an American stunt performer and entertainer, born in Butte, Montana. Throughout his career, he attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. Knievel's most famous stunts include a 1967 jump over the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which infamously resulted in severe injuries, and a September 8, 1974, attempt to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered cycle called the Skycycle X-2. The jump failed after the parachute deployed prematurely, but Knievel survived with minor injuries. The following recordings are from interviews in 1970, 1972, 1974, and in 1975 after Knievel jumped 14 Greyhound buses.
