Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA and Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Kyiv, Ukraine. He has published several books on Japan and Tokyo, including the first edition of Historical Dictionary of Tokyo (Scarecrow Press, 1996).
This well-researched volume belongs to Scarecrow Press’s Historical Dictionaries of Cities, States, and Regions series. It offers a chronology, introduction, bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on people, places, events, and important historical terms often seen in the history of Tokyo....The dictionary section is the main part of the work but the author has also provided an in-depth bibliography that is organized by subject and includes general studies, critical scholarship, Internet resources, and more. This book brims with information about the people, culture, history, and geography of this influential Eastern city. It would well serve high school, college, and public libraries.
