Hardback. Condición: Good. Kenzo Kitakata, the undisputed don of Japanese hard-boiled, mystery writing, has never had any of his more than one hundred novels go out of print. Ashes, considered by many to be his masterpiece (adapted for the film Like a Rolling Stone) does for the Japanese Yakuza what The Sopranos does for the American Mafia. Tanaka was once heir to his gang's boss, but has fallen out of favour. Opinionated, irritable, shrewd and lonely, but unconcerned with the typical trophies of the Yakuza way, Tanaka is a convincing portrait of a middle-age man in unusual circumstances.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. There are a lot of books that describe the Toyota Production System, but most do so in a way that implies that there was a master plan to create a company-wide improvement system. But as the pioneers in The Birth of Lean explain, there was no master plan-TPS came about through experimentation, trial and error, and an evolution of ideas that shaped Toyota's structure and management system. This is an honest look at the origins of Lean, written in the words of the people who created the system. Through interviews and annotated talks, you will hear first-person accounts of what these innovators and problem-solvers did and why they did it. You'll read rare, personal commentaries that explain the interplay of (sometimes opposing) ideas that created a revolution in thinking. In The Birth of Lean, you'll get a glimpse inside the minds and thought processes of the system's creators and innovators: Taiichi Ohno-the man who envisioned a way of working that would evolve into the Toyota Production System Eiji Toyoda-the former Toyota President and Chairman who oversaw the development of TPS and the inclusion of TQC at ToyotaKikuo Suzumura-the Toyota manager recognized as the most influential in translating Ohno's ideas into actionable itemsMichikazu Tanaka-the manager and executive at Toyota affiliate Daihatsu who adapted TPS to his organization Kaneyoshi Kusunoki-the former head of Toyota's production engineering organization who refined the buffering system in use in Toyota's operations Masao Nemoto-the Toyota executive central to the deployment of TQC at Toyota In this English translation of a previously published Japanese book, you'll hear the words of the people who created the countermeasures that Toyota devised to address issues as they arose-countermeasures that they continue to use and adapt today. By understanding that the great minds that developed such a powerful system started with simple experiments, you'll be encouraged to begin your own experiments and transform your organization.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Locke scholarship has been flourishing in Japan for several decades, but its output is largely unknown to the West. This collection makes available in English for the first time the fruits of recent Japanese research, opening up the possibility of advancing Locke studies on an international scale. Covering three important areas of Locke's philosophical thought - knowledge and experimental method, law and politics, and religion and toleration - this volume criticizes established interpretations and replaces them with novel alternatives, breaking away from standard narratives and providing fresh ways of looking at Locke's relationship with philosophers such as Boyle, Berkeley and Hume. The specific topics that have been selected are ones that continue to have important contemporary moral and political implications, from constitutionalism and toleration to marriage and the death penalty. Applying Locke's views to 21st-century questions, this collection presents provocative readings of the defining aspects of Locke's philosophical thought, stimulating current debates and heralding a new era of collaborative work for Locke scholars around the world.…
