Programming Lego Mindstorms with Java with CD-ROM Book

For the most part, the analysis in this ethnography is interesting and strong. However, it falls into the trap of being a bit of an overcompensating piece at times--over analyzing some points, unnecessarily including Japanese phrases. A little more jarring is that some chapters are simply riddled with factual errors. It seems a little silly to nitpick at, but given there is an entire chapter on Sailor Moon, there is no reason why an established academic should get the most basic details incorrect. Characters and notable phrases from the show are misnamed/misquoted, the author alternates between the Japanese and Americanized names with no logical reasoning, themes from the show are oversimplified to seemingly fit the desired framework. I have to admit, given the topic, its increasing popularity and the wealth of access to information on it (much of which the author proves to have had access to), the final product is a disappointment.
