This article reviews Tsuen-hsuin Tsien's "Paper and Printing," volume 5, part 1 of the "Science and Civilisation in China" series, which traces the history of paper and printing, and their precursors, in China from the Shang through the Qing dynasties. While the work is "not flawless," because it contains a number of unedited errors, it is nevertheless an "important" work for scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM CONTRIBUTOR]

This article reviews Yui's posthumous book, which discusses the process whereby the Japanese military integrated all human resources into a Total War System. Yui's papers, originally published several decades ago, used new sources and still present a pioneering perspective of modern Japan's military history.
