By weaving in a single narrative the city's siting, geography,
spatial qualities, culture, economy, society, and tragedy, it
affords us an exceptional insight into the city as it is today, and
remains a passionate journey through one of our nation's most
fascinating places.""--from Karen Kingsley's foreword. In his now
classic work of historical geography, originally published in 1976,
Lewis traces the rise and expansion of New Orleans through four
major historical periods. Newly reissued by the University of
Virginia Press, this second edition offers a revised and greatly
expanded look at this unique community on the Mississippi Delta?""a
fearsome place, difficult enough for building houses, lunacy for
wharves and skyscrapers""?with a new foreword that situates Lewis's
work post-Katrina, and argues that it remains as insightful and
compelling today as it was before the hurricane made landfall in
August 2005.
