Brasseaux and Davis have written a beautiful, eye-catching book which would be worthwhile just on those grounds, but its importance goes well beyond that. It is a reminder--sometimes a painful one--that nothing stays the same and that we are the architects of both our success and our failures. It is simultaneously an inspiring, nostalgic, and cautionary read. --Mark Davis, director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy, Tulane Law School</p>

Regardless of who bears the blame for any environmental fractures in antiquated or modern times, the world of Brasseaux and Davis is still a beautiful one, more worthy than ever of care and preservation.--Christina Leo In Register This gorgeous book . . . filled with historic photos and maps, examines efforts to harness the Mississippi River, the role of agriculture and industrialization and what the future holds.--Chere Coen Louisiana Book News
