Free Download Those Days in Muramatsu: One Woman's Memoir of Occupied Japan By Yumi Goto
2014 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 9971697939 | PDF | 2 MB
In the aftermath of the Pacific War and Japan's capitulation, Mrs Yumi Goto and her family lived in the small community of Muramatsu, where they had relocated to get away from Tokyo. Yumi Goto was an English-speaking graduate of one of Japan's top universities for women, and when a contingent of American soldiers was sent to Muramatsu as a garrison force, she became an interpreter. The sudden influx of more than 1,800 Americans into a rural Japanese community was potentially traumatic, and their imminent arrival made the townspeople "depressed and fearful". To everyone's surprise, they found the soldiers to be "open-hearted and humane", and the two sides co-existed peacefully. Those Days in Muramatsu is a testimony to the capacity of ordinary people from vastly different backgrounds to co-exist harmoniously, even in the aftermath of war.

The chapters in this edited collection, a companion to Urban Problems and Planning in the Developed World (Routledge Revivals, 2013), consider the problems and planning activities in a number of cities across the world. Varied case-studies, including Mexico City, Bogota and Shanghai, reflect the differing economic, cultural and political regimes of the modern world and ensure the continued value of this comprehensive work.

Free Download Grant Goodbrand, "Therafields: The Rise and Fall of Lea Hindley-Smith's Psychoanalytic Commune"
English | ISBN: 1550229761 | 2010 | 270 pages | EPUB | 460 KB
?At one point in the 1970s, 900 people were engaged with a therapeutic community in Toronto. Living together, and sharing emotional problems, the participants helped to create an institution owning houses, farms, and buildings. Therafields, the largest urban commune in Canada, was created by Lea Hindley-Smith, a woman from England with no formal training in therapy. But she exuded an astounding charisma, and developed ardent followers. Initially, students and faculty from St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, were drawn to her, and gradually the word spread that this woman had enormous power to listen, and to heal. Carpenters, poets, teachers, lost souls ― they all found a home in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood. And according to one of her followers at the time, Lea "was a gifted healer, a real estate entrepreneur ― and, as it turned out, a woman stalked by madness." When the real estate market turned sour in the late 1970s, the financial structure began to crumble. At the same time, Hindley-Smith's health started to fail, and by the early 1980s the movement had collapsed. Here, Grant Goodbrand reveals the behind-the-scenes story of Therafields.
