Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of the Mississippi River and its impact on the state of Louisiana. The author, a state engineer, argues that the river's frequent flooding is due to human interference with its natural flow. He traces the history of levee building and other flood control measures, showing how they have actually exacerbated the problem. He also discusses the economic and social costs of flooding, and proposes a number of solutions, including the creation of new outlets for the river's excess water. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, geography, or environmental issues of the Mississippi River. It is also a cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to control nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260293046_0
