Andrew W. Bernstein, "Fuji: A Mountain in the Making" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What was the significance of the Hoi eruption in relation to Edo society?
The Hoi eruption tested the stability of the Tokugawa regime, as it revealed the vulnerabilities in agricultural infrastructure and forced changes in governance and relief efforts.
Andrew W. Bernstein, "Fuji: A Mountain in the Making" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: How does Fuji's geological history influence its cultural perception?
Fuji acts by erupting, shaping both the landscape and human interactions, making it more than just a backdrop to history but a participant in it.
Andrew W. Bernstein, "Fuji: A Mountain in the Making" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What brought you to write this book?
I originally set out to explore the regulatory impact on temple lands but stumbled upon a fascinating legal dispute regarding Fuji's ownership, which spiraled into a broader historical investigation.
Try to Love the Questions: From Debate to Dialogue in Classrooms and Life
Q: Can you talk about what you mean by the skill of good faith dialogue?
What we do together when we're communicating, listening, writing, engaging in dialogue, is a skill. It's a skill to be learned, and it's a skill that can be taught.
Try to Love the Questions: From Debate to Dialogue in Classrooms and Life
Q: What inspired you to write this book?
I get a lot of calls and emails asking for support and guidance in creating the kind of dialogue programming... and I found that if I can assemble this into a text, it's going to be enormously useful to people.
