Beyond Control: The Mississippi River's New Channel to the Gulf of Mexico

Told against the backdrop of the Lower Mississippi River’s impending diversion, the book’s chapters chronicle historic floods, rising flood crests, a changing strategy for flood protection, and competing interests in the management of the Old River outlet. This is both a history and a close look at an inexorable, living process.
