An intimate photographic glimpse into the queer world behind the closed doors of modern Japanese society The LGBTQ community in Japan has faced its challenges. Even as some religious and warrior orders have a long and recognized tradition of same-sex love, to be considered different, to be “the nail that sticks out,” makes coming out difficult. Despite the conservative strain within Japanese society that encourages the LGBTQ community to remain unseen, a welcome change is happening on the ground. A number of queer cultural figures are opening up new horizons, and a growing majority of Japanese people believe that homosexuality should be an integral and open part of society. The latest in a series of beautiful, affordable photobooks that look at LGBTQ communities around the world, Edges of the Rainbow is a photographic celebration of the queer community in Japan. In a set of more than 150 color and black-and-white photographs, acclaimed photographer Michel Delsol and journalist Haruku Shinozaki have brought together a fascinating group of individuals to create an unforgettable and uplifting look at a proud and resilient community on the margins of Japanese society. Edges of the Rainbow was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).

Rainbow connections are natural combinatorial measures that are used in applications to secure the transfer of classified information between agencies in communication networks. Rainbow Connections of Graphs covers this new and emerging topic in graph theory and brings together a majority of the results that deal with the concept of rainbow connections, first introduced by Chartrand et al. in 2006. The authors begin with an introduction to rainbow connectedness, rainbow coloring, and rainbow connection number. The work is organized into the following categories, computation of the exact values of the rainbow connection numbers for some special graphs, algorithms and complexity analysis, upper bounds in terms of other graph parameters, rainbow connection for dense and sparse graphs, for some graph classes and graph products, rainbow k-connectivity and k-rainbow index, and, rainbow vertex-connection number. Rainbow Connections of Graphs appeals to researchers and graduate students in the field of graph theory. Conjectures, open problems and questions are given throughout the text with the hope for motivating young graph theorists and graduate students to do further study in this subject.

Book One in the GODWIN/the Boy Magician series: The Rainbow Builders It is a troubled time in our Galaxy. On the planet Saturn, the arch sorcerer Kretch completes his plans to kidnap the elemental fairies-of earth, water, wind and fire-from all the planets in the galaxy. By doing he plunges each planet into one long season of drought and desolation. All the while, a lingering legend haunts his waking hours: the legend of Godwin, the Boy Magician-the one person who, if he grows to manhood, will rival Kretch's powers. That is, if he is able to grow to manhood. Prepared for higher magic by the Rainbow Builders themselves, introduced to his own magnificent potential by the high white Wizardess Shalimar, Godwin is sent on a mission to Saturn to infiltrate the evil kingdom of Mortemonde and steal the Orb of Luna back from Kretch, and his evil minions. Captured by the stupid seven-legged Scurries, and imprisoned by the Ice Witches of Pluto, Godwin finally comes to realize that he has it within his power to free the entire planet of Saturn from Kretch's reign of terror. The question is, will he? And will he turn the key to his true potential before Kretch steals all the color from the galaxy as we know it. The first book in The Tales of GODWIN/The Boy Magician, The Rainbow Builders sets the stage for all future works in this remarkable fantasy book series for young readers and the young at heart.

Venerated as god and goddess, feared as demon and pestilence, trusted as battle omen, and used as a proving ground for optical theories, the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past and present. From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the rainbow has played a vital role in both inspiring and testing new ideas about the physical world. Although scientists today understand the rainbow's underlying optics fairly well, its subtle variability in nature has yet to be fully explained. Throughout history the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol&—of peace, covenant, or divine sanction&—rather than as a natural phenomenon. Lee and Fraser discuss the role the rainbow has played in societies throughout the ages, contrasting its guises as a sign of optimism, bearer of Greek gods' messages of war and retribution, and a symbol of the Judeo-Christian bridge to the divine. The authors traverse the bridges between the rainbow's various roles as they explore its scientific, artistic, and folkloric visions. This unique book, exploring the rainbow from the perspectives of atmospheric optics, art history, color theory, and mythology, will inspire readers to gaze at the rainbow anew.
