From nmtakahashi@ucdavis.eduSun Jun 2 22:30:16 1996 Date: Sat, 1 Jun 1996 13:26:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Nobuko Takahashi To: sanet-mg@amani.ces.ncsu.edu Subject: Books on Japanese Agriculture Dear sanet subscribers: I am looking for a couple of comprehensive books on Japanese agriculture. There is a NGO, Asian Rural Institute (ARI), in Japan, and they provide training of community development, organic farming, and leadership for rural community leaders from various countries in Asia and Africa. They are looking for books on Japanese agriculture written in English, especially for foreigners (i.e. ARI participants), which cover social problems, history, and general practices of farming, etc. I am currently studying at Davis, California, but leaving for Japan soon. I am hoping to buy some books here to take home for them. If you know of such books and ways in which I can get them rapidly or around San Francisco, please let me know. They are also looking for a system through which they can get list of new books on agriculture, nutrition, and development, etc., and order books through e-mail or fax being paid by a credit card. They are particularly intereted in the area of agriculture and development. I would really appreciate your help and information. Thank you.
