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. 606 $aHurricanes$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans$xHistory 606 $aHurricanes$xSocial aspects$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$xHistory 610 $aHurricanes, New Orleans, Environmental History, Environmental Studies, Urban Studies, American History, Adaptive Practices. 615 0$aHurricanes$xHistory. 615 0$aHurricanes$xSocial aspects 676 $a363.34/9220976335 700 $aRohland$b Eleonora$01306098 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826599603321 996 $aChanges in the air$93944689 997 $aUNINA
