Korea $36 The first general history of Korea as seen through maps, Korea: A Cartographic History provides a beautifully illustrated introduction to how Korea was and is represented cartographically. John Rennie Short, one of today’s most prolific and well-respected geographers, encapsulates six hundred years of maps made by Koreans and non-Koreans alike.   Largely chronological in its organization, Korea begins by examining the differing cartographic traditions prevalent in the early Joseon period in Korea—roughly 1400 to 1600—and its temporal equivalent in early modern Europe. As one of the longest continuous dynasties, Joseon rule encompassed an enormous range and depth of cartographic production. Short then surveys the cartographic encounters from 1600 to 1900, distinguishing between the early and late Joseon periods and highlighting the influences of China, Japan, and the rest of the world on Korean cartography. In his final section, Short covers the period from Japanese colonial control of Korea to the present day and demonstrates how some of the tumultuous events of the past hundred years are recorded and contested in maps. He also explores recent cartographic controversies, including the naming of the East Sea/Sea of Japan and claims of ownership of the island of Dokdo.   A common theme running throughout Short’s study is how the global flow of knowledge and ideas affects mapmaking, and Short reveals how Korean mapmakers throughout history have embodied, reflected, and even contested these foreign depictions of their homeland.

Japan's Quake Measuring 9.0: Surviving the Ordeal and the Trauma Inflicted

The 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami devastated Japan on March 11, 2011. Current estimates are that at least 20,000 people are either missing or deceased. Those that remain are dealing with the aftermath of the emotional stress, financial stress, physical injuries, coping inadequacies, absence of certain provisions, etc. Even though many will appear to resume normal activities and living after the earthquake, leading psychologists believe that some will suffer serious problems psychologically.

The ones with a high degree of psychological risk are the survivors with:

• Past trauma that is still unresolved or has yet to be treated
• No current support network or at best a very limited support network
• Psychological disorders that have gone untreated
• Impaired or poor coping skills
• A pre-existing mental or mood disorder such as Major Depression

Common experiences of survivors post disaster, like what hit Japan, include:
--Disassociative symptoms
--Mood swings
--Difficulty sleeping
--Finding it hard to eat
--Being "jumpy"
--Greater reactions to trauma triggers (for example: aftershocks)
--Shock

In Japan's history, it was the 1995 Kobe earthquake that instituted the first organized psychiatric trauma response effort. Since Japan's 2011 earthquake, psychiatric teams have gone into the area and assisted those in need. The priority of the mental health response effort has actually been to assist survivors in meeting physical needs prior to addressing any psychological needs. It is typical for survivors of a major disaster who find themselves in need of basic physical resources (such as food, shelter, etc) to be unable to work through their emotional turmoil. Even with all of the relief efforts that have been launched, it is most likely that the psychological symptoms of the survivors will continue for years.

The fact that the people of Japan are community driven and have strong family values are both advantages in their efforts to rebuild. Both physical and psychological healing is necessary for those affected and may very well be expedited by their emphasis on community support and teamwork. The emphasis on strong support networks within Japan may be a helpful model for those societies that appear to be lacking in this area. The survival of that community may count on it.

Hong Kong Film,, Hollywood and New Global Cinema $39.95 Hong Kong cinema is especially vibrant at present, and is very interestingly placed, with strong connections both to Hollywood, and to world and Asian regional markets. In addition, with the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Archive scholarly interest in the history and development of Hong Kong cinema has grown considerably in recent years.
