Barb Palser is a Capstone Press author.
An unusually handsome design and a brisk, information-packed narrative make this new volume from the Snapshots in History series an outstanding acquisition for libraries. Starting with references to residents piling into New Orleans' Superdome, the book traces the individual, city, and national responses to the storm and subsequent relief efforts. Sidebars address relevant issues, such as racism and the high lead content in the soil, while the main text chronologically narrates the storm's onset, the devastation it left behind, and the cleanup efforts that ensued. As useful for research as it is for general-interest reading. Roger Leslie
