2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake

This is book only in ebooks right now, but will be in text very soon.

The book has actual earthquake footage and stories from people who
 experienced the devastation. All the proceedings made from the book
goes to the American Red Cross for Japan's Earthquake and Tsunami fund.

An English school teacher living in Japan at the time of the nuclear disaster wanted to do something for the victims. He is a dedicated follower of Twitter and started a forum for the victims, which allowed them to share their stories and write freely about their experiences. An E- book was compiled called 2:46 with the victims stories and photos that occurred during those desperate days.  All the money from The E-book (electronic) goes to Japan currently the book has made over $25,000.00 within only two weeks the book will also come out in print.
