Renowned geographer Richard Campanella chronicles three centuries of engineering ambition, political maneuvering, and unintended consequence in the story of New Orleans's relentless battle against water. From the city's swampy origins to its rise as a world leader in drainage technology, this is a history of people and power as much as pumps and pipes — and a reckoning with what was gained and lost in the process.
