More Heart, Less Water

It was certainly better to have left New Orleans before Katrina wreaked her terrible punishment on that city; but after reading Heart Like Water, I would have to say that Josh Clark's choice birthed one of the best books on the subject of the hurricane since that terrible August week. We spoke to Josh a couple of times during our live coverage -- he's the founder and editor of the Light of New Orleans Publishing, in the heart of the French Quarter. He chose to ride out the storm in his apartment, and today, he'll join us to talk about his book on Katrina and the city he loves.

thank you, thank you, mr. clark! it is my hope that your words and your vehicle and your talents will be successful where we environmental scientists have been unable to be...and that is to enlighten the country about the importance (and amazing "cool"ness) of wetlands....keep up the good work! we need everyone to understand the beauty of this piece of our planet's systems....i salute you and wish you only the very best! and i thank you for taking the time to research and understand wetlands if you hadn't fully known about them before your experience and your book...be well! susan
