Hurricanes 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.
