Adaptive Practices, Past and Present -- Bibliography -- IndexHurricanes have been a constant in the history of New Orleans. Since before its settlement as a French colony in the eighteenth century, the land entwined between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River has been lashed by powerful Gulf storms.  Time and again, these hurricanes have wrought immeasurable loss and devastation, spurring reinvention and ingenuity on the part of inhabitants. Changes in the Air offers a rich and thoroughly researched history of how hurricanes have shaped and reshaped New Orleans from the colonial era to the present day, focusing on how its residents have adapted to a uniquely unpredictable and destructive environment across more than three centuries.HurricanesLouisianaNew OrleansHistoryHurricanesSocial aspectsLouisianaNew OrleansNew Orleans (La.)HistoryHurricanes, New Orleans, Environmental History, Environmental Studies, Urban Studies, American History, Adaptive Practices.HurricanesHistory.HurricanesSocial aspects363.34/9220976335Rohland Eleonora1306098MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826599603321Changes in the air3944689UNINA
