Annotation: This title is the first volume of a comprehensive, six-volume survey which documents the miraculous growth of Japanese science and technology from post-war devastation to its attaining a leading global status. A team of more than fifty Japanese experts labored for ten years in assembling the unique materials into a monumental work of careful scholarship. The study won the prestigious Mainichi Publications Award in 1997. Trans Pacific Press will publish one volume per year for six consecutive years to bring the full translation of the project to the English-speaking world.
