Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this town, electricity is made from human kindness. Everyone knows it. Everyone is proud of it. Nobody has ever seen it happen.Thomas is a collector. Every day he walks the town in yellow coveralls and a green cap, gathering fragments of kindness - a feather from a rescued pigeon, a fish bone from a stray cat's meal - and carries them back to the Kindness Power Plant in the machine strapped to his back. The town that was reduced to ash in the war is now the cleanest, richest city in the country. The electricity is free. The children run up to him in the street to look inside his Suctor.He is not a good collector. He earns barely enough to feed his family, and when his great-aunt is admitted to hospital he cannot pay for the operation. So he does what he has always avoided: he starts calling on the Off-Grids - the lamp-maker who refuses to use electricity, the rancher whose workers have broken down under round-the-clock shifts, the crank in the woods with a dog the size of a bear.They are not the frightening people he was told about. They simply know something.What Thomas learns, from an old fixer in the underworld and a scientist dying in a hospital bed and a physicist nobody will speak to, is that the plant runs on almost nothing but a lie, that his father did not die in an accident, and that the residue burned off every day is being sold abroad under another name. And that the men who built all of it - heroes with statues in the square - began with nothing but the wish to save the town they were born in.Kindness Power Plant is a novel about the cost of comfort: about what a society agrees not to look at in exchange for a good life, about power that is acquired for good reasons and cannot be given up, and about a young man who has to decide whether telling the truth to people who did not ask for it makes him a hero or something much worse.This is a new English translation, fully revised from the original edition.

Condition: New. Hiro Fujimoto is Assistant Professor at the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies, Heidelberg University, Germany. He works on the history of medicine in modern Japan from global and gender perspectives. He wrote several articles in Japanese.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Fujimoto, Homei, and Nakamura bring together the perspectives of women engaging in professional medical work across the expanse of the modern Japanese Empire (1868-1945). Through translations of primary source documents in three East Asian languages, this collection provides a window into the experiences of women working in a variety of medical professions, including doctors, nurses, midwives, and nutritionists. The voices of these women, collected from books, magazines, diaries, roundtable discussions, and oral histories, speak of the challenges, hopes, triumphs, and at times despair that women faced in their medical studies and workplaces.While the women represent a kaleidoscope of political views both critical and supportive of the Japanese empire, this book demonstrates the significance of the Japanese nation and empire for many of these women. Their stories show how they pushed boundaries, traversed national or regional borders in search of medical opportunities, or attempted to carve out new spaces for women through their service as medical professionals.This work, which includes little studied sources never before accessible in English, will appeal to scholars and students of history, Asian studies, gender history/studies, and the history of science, technology, and medicine.…
