Reviews

Richard Campanella's detailed works on New Orleans geography have been instant classics, and this book continues that trend. Campanella understands that New Orleans's unique culture--our cuisine, music, architecture, funeral traditions, and literature--have everything to do with our position on the Mississippi River's delta, as do many of our vulnerabilities. There are lessons for all deltaic cities in this must-read. -James Carville
