David Baresch at Infinity Books Japan
David Baresch will be signing copies of 'The Tides of March' at Infinity Books in Japan on Saturday 13th February from 2-4pm.
What are the effects of a magnitude-9 earthquake coursing through the land and followed by a towering tsunami resulting in an exploding nuclear power plant? Whilst teaching English in Japan in March 2011 David Baresch found out. ‘Tides of March' tells of his experience of living through that time.
The book takes the reader on a journey through a city of swaying skyscrapers, the desolate tsunami torn districts, idyllic lands carpeted with radiation, and the story of an incredible dying survivor. ‘Tides of March' questions the official release of disaster information. It questions the adequacy of the radioactive exclusion zone. It questions the containment of contaminated waste. It questions the populace's desire to know the truth. Using his own photographs, the author's powerful first-hand account brings a new, previously unseen focus to the after-effects of one of the worst disasters ever to hit Japan.
