NOTA |
(★)1. Japan's Tipping Point is a small book on a huge topic. In the post-Fukushima era, Japan is the "canary in the coal mine" for the rest of the world. Can Japan redically shift its energy policy, become greener, more self-sufficient, and avoid catastrophic impacts on the climate? Mark Pendergrast arrived in Japan exactly two months after the Fukushima meltdown. This book is his eye-opening account of his trip and his alarming conclusions. 2. Mark Pendergrast (shown on the left in a self-portrait taken in a convex road mirror in Japan) is the critically acclaimed author of Inside the Outbreaks; For God, Country and Coca-Cola; Victims of Memory; Uncommon Grounds; Mirror Mirror; and Jack and the Bean Soup. He lives in Colchester, Vermont, USA. |
