{"product_id":"we-live-with-the-sea-andrew-littlejohn-9781478033943","title":"We Live with the Sea: Ecologizing Safety in Post-Tsunami Japan","description":"In \u003ci\u003eWe Live with the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew Littlejohn addresses the implementation and controversy surrounding safety infrastructures following the March 2011 tsunami in northeastern Japan. While the Japanese government proposed and enforced infrastructural transformations in the wake of the tsunami, these changes did not consider the impact on residents who built their communities and livelihoods around the coast. Focusing on the tsunami survivors who resisted government plans for increased coastal defenses, Littlejohn highlights alternative proposals offered by the local residents as well as the environmental, ecological, and more-than-human dependencies and imbrications those proposals reveal. In doing so, he argues that imposed modernist safety structures undermine the very things they claim to protect, showing how attempts to \"ecologize\" safety may offer more sustainable ways of thinking about security, preservation, and infrastructure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Littlejohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478033940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478033943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Andrew Littlejohn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801126056191,"sku":"9781478033943","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-live-with-the-sea-andrew-littlejohn-9781478033943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
