520 "Like the bestselling Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas,
this book is a brilliant reinvention of the traditional
atlas, one that provides a vivid, complex look at the
multi-faceted nature of New Orleans, a city replete with
contradictions. More than twenty essays assemble a chorus
of vibrant voices, including geographers, scholars of
sugar and bananas, the city's remarkable musicians, prison
activists, environmentalists, Arab and Native voices, and
local experts, as well as the coauthors' compelling
contributions. Featuring 22 full-color two-page-spread
maps, Unfathomable City plumbs the depths of this major
tourist destination, pivotal scene of American history and
culture and, most recently, site of monumental disasters
such as Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. The
innovative maps' precision and specificity shift our
notions of the Mississippi, the Caribbean, Mardi Gras,
jazz, soils and trees, generational roots, and many other
subjects, and expand our ideas of how any city is imagined
and experienced. Together with the inspired texts, they
show New Orleans as both an imperiled city-by erosion,
crime, corruption, and sea level rise-and an ageless city
that lives in music as a form of cultural resistance.
Compact, lively, and completely original, Unfathomable
City takes readers on a tour that will forever change the
way they think about place."--|cProvided by publisher.
