"Hurricane Katrina and the Redefinition of Landscape discusses the ways in which Hurricane
Katrina and other such disasters that follow in the wake of large-scale natural phenomena
have the ability to alter the physical and social landscapes of an area. Miller and
Rivera emphasize the importance of the physical landscape and explore the ways in
which any alteration to the landscape affects the economic, cultural, and political
lives of the survivors. Through the example of Hurricane Katrina and the resulting
devastation to New Orleans, Miller and Rivera suggest that economic and political
policies should be more reflective of each unique physical location, thereby aiding
in the development and sustainability of different cultures, economies, and political
landscapes."--BOOK JACKET
