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.
