Catastrophe in the Making: The Engineering of Katrina and the Disasters of Tomorrow
William R. Freudenburg
When houses are flattened, towns submerged, and people stranded without electricity or even food, we attribute the suffering to 'natural disasters' or 'acts of God'. But what if they're neither? This book intends to recognize Hurricane Katrina not as a 'perfect storm', but a tragedy of our own making - and one that could become commonplace.
