Catastrophe in the Making: The Engineering of Katrina and the Disasters of Tomorrow
by William R Freudenburg (9781597266826)

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 theyre neither? What if we, as a society, are bringing these catastrophes on ourselves? That is the provocative theory of Catastrophe in the Making, the first book to recognise Hurricane Katrina not as a perfect storm, but a tragedy of our own making and one that could become commonplace.
