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.
