What are some key themes and historical developments in the Tokusatsu genre that are explored in Marvin Ringard's book, and how do they reflect the evolution of Japanese pop culture?

I wonder if France V is mentioned in some capacity. If not, I hope they include it in a 2nd edition or a special edition later.
