Japan is aging rapidly, and its government has been groping with the implications of this profound social change. In a pioneering study of postwar Japanese social policy, John Creighton Campbell traces the growth from small beginnings to an elaborate and expensive set of pension, health care, employment, and social service programs for older people. He argues that an understanding of policy change requires a careful disentangling of social problems and how they come to be perceived, the invention (or borrowing) of policy solutions, and conflicts and coalitions among bureaucrats, politicians, interest groups, and the general public. The key to policy change has often been the strategies adopted by policy entrepreneurs to generate or channel political energy. To make sense of all these complex processes, the author employs a new theory of four "modes" of decision-making--cognitive, political, artifactual, and inertial. Campbell refutes the claim that there is a unique "Japanese-style welfare state." Despite the big differences in cultural values, social arrangements, economic priorities, and political control, government responsibility for the "aging-society problem" is broadly similar to that in advanced Western nations. However, Campbell's account of how Japan has taken on that responsibility raises new issues for our understanding of both Japanese politics and theories of the welfare state. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

This is it. The key to happiness is recognising that, yes, this is it. You’re all you have to work with and this moment is the only one you have any control over. It took a while for Conor Creighton to understand this powerful concept. But once he did, his life changed forever. Conor Creighton came out of the womb chewing his fingernails. A chaotic childhood saw his default mode set to ‘generally miserable’, so he left home at 17, vowing never to return. The ensuing decades of disorder resulted in chronic anxiety. At rock bottom, he signed up for a ten-day silent meditation retreat. It was hell. His legs ached. His butt felt like it was on fire. His mind threw at him a never-ending collage of regrets, wants and realisations. Then, suddenly, for the first time in nearly twenty years, he felt calm as relief and, eventually, joy washed over him. He learned that meditation has just one goal: to recognise that this is it. There is nothing else. No desire to get anywhere or change or improve anything. When Conor stopped trying to get somewhere or ‘be someone’ and realised that this, and this alone, is it, his anxiety abated, he learned to like himself and he discovered that he might even be happy. By remembering that ‘this is it’ in uncomfortable times and in comfortable times, your life can become a lot like meditation. In this highly entertaining, refreshingly honest memoir and meditation guide, you’ll discover how. ‘Conor is Ireland's answer to Sam Harris. This book will you teach you truly life-altering wisdom that has stood the test of both time and science in the most hilarious, relatable and heart-warmingly welcoming way.’ Daniella Moyles ‘I love Conor’s way of sharing the magic of contemplation and meditation. In a world filled with distraction and noise Conor reminds us to slow down and come back to ourselves. This Is It takes a practical approach to meditation and contemplation in what can feel like an overwhelming world.’ Pat Divilly ‘Other worldly and painfully, beautifully Irish all at one. Like poetry and philosophy read by your brother's best friend who has been around the world and come back to serve you everything you’ve forgotten you already know. I adore this book and Conor.’ Angela Scanlon
People have been enchanted by elephants for centuries. For Gerry Creighton, this fascination began at an early age; his father was a keeper at Dublin Zoo and instilled in him a love and respect for animals. Gerry followed his father and joined the zoo at 15, where he would spend the next 36 years observing, studying and caring for elephants. Raised by the Zoo tells the story of Gerry’s life in service to the many animals at Dublin Zoo – a place that holds fond memories for every family across Ireland. Filled with a lively cast of the zoo’s inhabitants – including Lucy the Chimp and Upali the Elephant – it captures a pivotal period in Dublin Zoo’s history and underscores the importance of environmental conservation efforts around the world.
Britain's town walls have been neglected. For the first time the authors draw together a variety of evidence to reveal the chronologies, functions, structures and social significance of urban defences. They show that the walls and their related structures are a mixture of military pragmatism, commercial logic and symbolism.

This is an extensive overview of Catholicism's rich history, beginning with the extraordinary life of Christ and the first centuries of the propagation of faith. It describes the significance and traditions of Catholic ritual, and includes a guide to the important festivals and holy days in the Catholic calendar. It explores the religious and social history of Christian saints from the Holy Family and the Apostles through the medieval period to modern times. It includes biographies for each saint, with historical information about the era in which they lived, what holy works they performed and their feast day. It describes the life and work of hundreds of well-known and much-loved saints, such as St Teresa of Avila, St Francis of Assisi and Edith Stein, as well entries for lesser-known 1st-century martyrs and African saints of the 19th century. This comprehensive book provides a detailed insight into the world of Catholicism as well as a visual encyclopedia of over 500 saints. The first part of the book, Catholic History, begins with the life of Jesus Christ and looks at how the early church developed. This is followed by discussions on medieval catholicism, the Crusades, the foundation of monastic orders, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The second section, Catholic Doctrine, looks at the essential principles of Catholic belief, such as the Holy Trinity, the Eucharist, the role of Mary, and Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. This is followed by Practising Catholicism, which looks at the key institutions of the Church and its religious practices. Finally Saints and Sainthood tells the story of sainthood through the biographies of selected saints. Lavishly illustrated with more than 1000 photographs and fine-art paintings, this book offers an insightful guide to a complex and rich religion.
The Dictionary of Canadian Biography calls this work 'probably the greatest Canadian biography yet published in English.' Donald Creighton's two-volume account of Canada's first Prime Minister was originally published in the 1950s as 'John A. Macdonald: The Young Lion' (1952) and 'John A. Macdonald: The Old Chieftain' (1955). Each of the volumes won a Governor General's Literary Award. Creighton's rare combination of rigorous scholarship, magnificent literary style, and romantic and heroic vision gives this work extraordinary power and wide appeal. Sir John A. Macdonald's flamboyant personality dominated Canadian public life from the years preceding Confederation to the end of the nineteenth century, and the political structures and national policies which developed under his leadership continue to shape public issues today. Creighton's first volume takes Macdonald from his childhood and early years as a young lawyer in Kingston, Ontario, through his swift rise in political life to positions of influence, to the great achievement of uniting the colonies of British North America in Confederation. The second volume traces Macdonald's often tumultuous subsequent career in the context of a growing and often recalcitrant nation. He was Prime Minister from 1867 to 1873 and then again from 1878 until his death in June, 1891. The spectacular and evocative epilogues with which Creighton concludes each volume are widely recognized as having a place among the great passages of literary prose. P. B. Waite's introduction to this new one-volume republication provides an illuminating account of the impact that Creighton and his biography of Macdonald had on a whole generation of historians and readers.
Originally published in 1937 as "The Commercial Empire of the St. Lawrence, 1760-1850" and re-issued in its present form in 1956, Donald Creighton's study of the St. Lawrence became an essential text in Canadian history courses. This, his first book, helped establish Creighton as the foremost English Canadian historian of his generation. In it, he examines the trading system that developed along the St. Lawrence River and he argues that the exploitation of key staple products by colonial merchants along the St. Lawrence River system was key to Canada's economic and national development. Creighton tells the story of the St. Lawrence empire largely from the perspective of these Canadian merchants, who, above all others, struggled to win the territorial empire of the St. Lawrence and to establish the Canadian commercial state. Christopher H. Moore, historian and Governor General Award winner, has written a new introduction to this classic text.
The Bravest Women: True Stories that Inspired Generations invites readers into a living tapestry of courage, compassion, and wisdom. First written by historian and reformer Louise Creighton, this collection gathers true stories of women who shaped their times through quiet strength and steadfast faith. Their lives speak across centuries, reminding us that true heroism is not found in power or fame, but in the resolve to serve, to learn, and to love with endurance.

Beyond biography, The Bravest Women serves as a guide to moral and emotional education. It invites readers to see history not as a list of events but as a mirror reflecting the human spirit. Each chapter offers insights into how real women, including queens, scholars, healers, reformers, and explorers, faced challenges that tested their character. Their choices continue to echo as lessons for modern readers seeking meaning and strength in their own lives. Students and teachers will find in these pages a rich source for character education, women's studies, and historical literacy. Parents and mentors will discover stories that encourage empathy, humility, and perseverance. Readers of all ages will be reminded that courage does not always roar; it often whispers through small, faithful acts that ripple across generations.

The tone is elegant yet accessible, blending historical insight with emotional resonance. It is both a collector's edition and an educational resource, perfect for classrooms, libraries, and personal shelves alike.

Whether you are a reader seeking inspiration, an educator shaping young minds, or a collector who values heritage editions, this book offers both emotional richness and intellectual depth.
"Me, My Pillow and Kicking Feet" is one of those classic stories for kids that explores underlying childhood and parent-child relationship themes, but doesn't take itself too seriously. It is vividly illustrated and covers a little boy who enjoys kicking his pillows at home, down the street, in the grocery store and even at the zoo. The inspiration for the story has an interesting twist. The author is a podiatrist-foot surgeon who was inspired by his own children who were notorious pillow kickers. They often used their pillows for play leaving them on the floor and stepping all over them. We all know how children get into things that seem fun, but may not always be best, and there are things they may be exposed to that parents can teach them about in a caring way. The pillow kicking child's father must explain, "Pillows are for your head, not for your feet." Check it out - you'll like how the father teaches the child this lesson.
