520 "On a sweltering August day in 2005, Hurricane Katrina
blasted New Orleans, leaving behind devastation and chaos.
Conventional wisdom tells us it was a tragic case of
nature striking humans, but 'Catastrophe in the making'
explains that the conventional wisdom is dangerously
wrong. Katrina was instead a tragic case of humans
striking nature, and paying dearly for it. Worse, we
continue to make the same mistakes all across the country,
courting costly and lethal disasters"--Inside cover.
