...most energy-efficient industrial countries in the world, and some of Japan's leading companies, such as Toyota and Sharp, are known for technologies that foster greener lifestyles. A conservation mind-set is ingrained into Japanese people from birth, and is apparent in little ways throughout society. Ten years ago, when I first visited Kyoto, I was shocked that public restrooms had no soap, no dispenser full of paper towels - sometimes no toilet paper. In their purses, yamato nadeshiko (women who are, among other things, mindful and prepared) make a point to carry packets of tissue paper with them into...

After the extensive planning required to get through the ten-part application, the degree takes 14 half-courses to complete, and honors candidates must take 16 half-courses in addition to writing a thesis. Rich notes that the drive and independence of special concentrators is indicative of the considerable work they put into the process. But for students with...
