I have based the book on information about Japan and the Japanese way of life, particularly information related to technology, economics, politics, environment, and society. And I talk about our relations with China and ASEAN countries to show how they influence us to nurture our g-local mindset for the future. 　“Civilization may evolve into a merger of technology and humanity. Since Japanese culture seems a good harmony between mystic attitudes and technocratic knowledge more than others, it could be a positive influence on our future Conscious-Technology Age. Which Way Are the Japanese People Heading? Creating a Pan Pacific Culture by Professor Mizuta Kazuo on sustainable development and global consciousness gives great detail on this transition to the required future mindset.” 　Jerome C. Glenn, the Millennium Project ［Author］ Kazuo Mizuta Kyoto Sangyo University 　　　Professor Emeritus 　　　Comparative Culture Studies 　　　Futurist 　I am a practicing sociologist in the field of comparative culture, long-time futurist, and professor emeritus at Kyoto Sangyo University in Kyoto, one of the leading private universities in the country. I have spent years assessing and comparing traditional Japanese values and institutions with those of other countries both in Asia and the West. My research fields are comparative culture and future studies. I’ve worked all my life thinking and learning about American and Japanese ways of living. 　I received a Fulbright scholarship to study at English Department, Western Michigan University as a graduate student. After finishing the M.A. program there, I moved to Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Madison as I received a teaching assistantship there. While I studied modern American novels and taught basic Japanese in late 1960s at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. I learned how important it was to know the ways that students live, work, engage in sport activities, and socialize in everyday life. 　I taught at Kyoto Sangyo University, Department of Cultural Studies. I have also worked for the University Affiliated Research Institute of World Affairs. 　I wrote An Introduction to Comparative Culture Studies (1996).and translated The State of the Future2016 of the Millennium Project. 　The paper, Human and Robots Interaction: When Will Robots Come of Age? (World Future Review September 2014 vol.6, issue 3: 251-260) shows my future point of view.

自叙伝『私の行き方　考え方』の英文版。自らの生い立ちから丁稚奉公、松下電器(現パナソニック)の創業、そして会社が進展していく昭和8年までの数多くのエピソードを交えながら事業成功の秘訣を語る半生の記。 The Early Entrepreneurial Life of the Founder of Panasonic In the late autumn of 1904, Japan was caught up in the Russo-Japanese War. All alone, a nine-year-old boy left his hometown for Osaka to begin an apprenticeship. His mother, in tears, watched him board the train at　Kinokawa Station in Wakayama. Her lonely form as the train pulled out of the station was a scene that was to be deeply engraved in his mind forever.　Struggling in the big city, he lived through his days with hope for the future.　This was the start of the career of Konosuke Matsushita, who went on to live out a life filled with lofty aspirations.

約束に遅れて「Sorry.」とだけ言ったら、相手には「わりー、わりー」と聞こえる。「I’m sorry to be late.」と言おう。乗り物やレストランなどの場面別に、1.間違えやすい表現と、2.それがネイティブには「こう聞こえる」という説明、3.正しくは「こう言う」という例を列挙。後半には「ネイティブに近づく20の法則」と題して、mustとhave to の使い分けなどが解説されている。日本で豊富な教授経験をもつ著者だけあって、日本人がおかしやすい過ちや、辞書だけではわからないニュアンスがうまく取り上げられている。巻末の「日本で見つけたおかしな英語」はジョーク集さながら。
