Louisiana’s Response to Extreme Weather A Coastal State’s Adaptation Challenges and Successes
Extreme Weather and Society Series Editors William A. Sprigg The University of Arizona Tucson, AZ, USA Sheila Lakshmi Steinberg Department of Sociology Brandman University Irvine, CA, USA
Extreme Weather and Society examines people, place and extreme weather, from an emerging trans-disciplinary field of study. The series explores how abrupt and trending changes in weather alter physical environments and force community responses challenged by cultural practices/interpretations, politics, policy, responsibilities of education and communication, community health and safety, and environmental sustainability for future generations. The series highlights extreme weather alterations to different physical and social environments to better explore how people react and respond to extreme weather. The hallmark of this series is the innovative combined inclusion of social and physical science expertise. Extreme Weather and Society contains single and multi-authored books as well as edited volumes. Series Editors are currently accepting proposals, forms for which can be obtained from the publisher, Ron Doering ([email protected]).
