Good Book, Great Translation

I translated this book many years ago when I was a freelance Japanese translator. I immersed myself in the book and finished the job in under 2 weeks, working as much as 14 hours a day. I used a 1970s Compaq PC that ran WordStar and I wrote my entire translation to a 7-inch floppy. Hatakeyama coined lots of sometimes clumsy buzzwords (e.g. "Managerial Agriculture"), but this is his style so I tried to be as faithful to it as possible. He also loves packaging his ideas with labels that can be a bit pompous. I put these into English as much as possible, because they fit together consistently. The case studies and examples are fun and informative. A good book, a great translation.(P.S. A company called Nihon Services was given credit for the translation but it was entirely my own. They farmed it out to me. Details available.)
