About the publisher

Elephant Press is grounded in educational and academic publishing while also covering history, language, philosophy, and inspirational personal growth. Although the library holds only 10 titles, its editorial orientation is visible: in history readers it includes Miyazaki Ichisada's History of the Imperial Examination and other works; in language and writing methods it offers practical titles such as The Stanford Writing Course, What McKinsey Taught Me About Writing, and Master Class in Fiction Writing; in philosophy it covers Is Our World Real? and Very Short Introductions: Why Humans Need Rituals. Its authors include Miyazaki Ichisada, Kazuto Ataka, Naotaka Takasugi, and Wallace Stegner. The press's publishing character lies in bridging academic and general reading, balancing knowledge dissemination with the cultivation of writing skills. Its common categories cover history, inspirational growth, language and writing, philosophy, Western philosophy, and essays. Because public information is limited, the above is summarized only from the titles held in the library.
