Autorenporträt
Nobuhiro Miyoshi is Professor Emeritus, University of Hiroshima, as well as President, Hijiyama University, Hiroshima. He was born in Oita Prefecture, Japan, in 1932 and as a graduate student began researching education in Britain, with special reference to J.Kay-Shuttleworth. He subsequently expanded his research into UK-Japan educational exchange where he found Henry Dyer the subject of greatest academic interest. Professor Miyoshi has published a number of books on the history of Japan's industrial education, including engineering - commercial and agricultural - in relation to both comparative methods and international exchange, and is today a leading figure in the study of industrial education in Japan.
