Focusing first on responses to the triple disasters of March 2011, the book then puts the topic in a wider historical context by looking at responses to earlier disasters, both natural and man-made, including the great quakes of 1995 and 1923 and the atomic bombings of 1945. This wide-ranging 'double structure' enables an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the issues involved that goes well beyond the clichés and the headlines"--Provided by publisher.
