Paper 2 is a book review of Yoshimasa and the Silver Pavilion: The Creation of the Soul of Japan. this paper deals with a relatively new secondary source. In a book review for a serious academic book you want to do these things: first, introduce the author (to the extent that you can) to let the reader know her or his qualifications (can you trust the author?); second, identify the author’s argument or thesis; third, describe some of the ways that the author tries to support the argument; fourth, your assessment–did you feel that the author constructed a sound case for his argument? Your assessment should also include an evaluation of the usefulness of the book–to whom is it aimed? Do you recommend it for general readers or specialists or undergraduates, etc? Remember to cite pages using footnotes; add a bibliography.
