"The Culture of Calamity is a searing analysis of the strange role disaster plays in our civic lifeFollowing on the heels of Hurricane Katrina, Kevin Rozario's fine study couldn't be more timely. Highly recommended." - Douglas Brinkley, author of The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast"
