The Chemical Industry and Globalization Book

I expected something more academic, but this take on the Soka Gakkai is more personal and more readable than any other volume I've picked up. Personally, I would have preferred more scholarly analysis (since the author is keen on mentioning his "over educated" perspective) and more mention of the Komeito, but I can't dictate the content of the book. Instead, this book follows the author into the trenches of the Soka Gakkai, meeting with members and leaders, including the controversial Daisaku Ikeda. This book will teach you a lot about the basic tenets and history of Soka Gakkai, but feels more like a smattering of experiences than a thorough history of explanation. Take it for what it is - a spiritual journey by a professor that happens to be studying Soka Gakkai at the same time.
