      This book recounts three recent disasters suffered by Japan. Lusted describes the effects of Japan's strongest earthquake, the subsequent devastating tsunami, and the initial and long-term results of the nuclear power disasters that followed. The human suffering and the impact on Japan's economy are also discussed in some depth. Photographs and sidebars enhance the text but crowd the pages. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
