Reviews
Miller and Rivera link scholarship on landscapes and disaster in innovative and insightful ways, demonstrating the cultural, economic, and ecological characteristics of 'disaster landscapes.' Hurricane Katrina and the Redefinition of Landscape presents the ecologic-symbolic theoretical framework in a manner that highlights the social significance of place and how place and meaning are shaped by disasters. In this groundbreaking book, Miller and Rivera work at the intersection of disaster-induced environmental and social change. In a world of ever-increasing risks, their insights are likely to influence future scholarship on the connections between disaster and development.--Green, John J.
