Description
Earthquake Children is the first book to examine the origins of modern Japan's infrastructure of resilience. Janet Borland vividly demonstrates that Japan's contemporary culture of disaster preparedness—and its people's ability to respond calmly in times of emergency—are the results of learned and practiced behaviors inspired by earlier tragedies.
