Reviews
"In this work on cross cultural comparisons of responses to tragedies, Dr. Hirono demonstrates to the reader what those close to him already know: he has a penchant for research design and delivery. In comparing American and Japanese clergy perspectives on responding to tragedy, Dr. Hirono fulfills a need to consider how divergent cultures respond to analogous phenomena. This mixed method design delved deeply into layers of meaning unearthed across oceans and compared for similarity and contrast."
