America's Famous Hopi Indians!: Their Spiritual Way of Life & Incredible Prophecies! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452886299)

Boyé Lafayette De Mente has been involved with Japan, China, Korea and Mexico since the late 1940s as a member of a U.S. intelligence agency, student, journalist, editor and author working out of Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mexico City. He is a graduate of Jochi University in Tokyo, and The American Institute for Foreign Trade (in 1953), now Thunderbird School of Global Management, in Glendale, Arizona, USA. De Mente wrote the first ever books on the Japanese way of doing business (Japanese Etiquette and Ethics in Business in 1959 and How to Do Business in Japan in 1962), and was the first to introduce the now commonly used Japanese terms wa, nemawashi, kaizen, tatemae-honne, shibui, sabi and wabi to the outside business world! His 70-plus other books run the gamut from language learning to the night-time "pink" trades in Japan, the role of bars, cabarets and geisha houses in business, the sensual nature of Oriental cultures, male-female relations, and understanding and coping with the Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Mexican mindset in business and social situations. He has also written extensively on his adopted home state of Arizona, including AMAZING ARIZONA--Fascinating Facts, Legends & Tall Tales!; Visitor's Guide to Arizona's Indian Reservatrions; and THE GRAND CANYON ANSWER BOOK -- Everything You Might Want to Know About the Grand Canyon and Then Some!
