Its focus is on human interactions with the physical environment that people occupy. Louisiana Geography opens with a chapter that introduces the discipline of geography, the importance of the Mississippi River in the development of Louisiana's physical and cultural landscapes, and various geographical foundations such as location, boundaries and parishes. Chapters 2 through 6 considers the natural environment of the state, identifying the processes that have created the landforms, soils, vegetation and climate and their interrelationships. Chapters 7 and 8 turn to the human element - Native American and European settlement patterns and the wide variety of cultural landscapes they created. Chapters 9 and 10 look specifically at the relationship between natural resources and human activities in the state, dealing with the economic geography and the petroleum industry. The final chapter, 11, focuses on population patterns - the trends and issues that confront rural and urban Louisiana.

Book excerpt: State of Disaster: A Historical Geography of Louisiana’s Land Loss Crisis explores Louisiana’s protracted efforts to restore and protect its coastal marshes, nearly always with minimal regard for the people displaced by those efforts. As Craig E. Colten shows, the state’s coastal restoration plan seeks to protect cities and industry but sacrifices the coastal dwellers who have maintained their presence in this perilous place for centuries. This historical geography examines in turn the adaptive capacity of those living through repeated waves of calamity; the numerous disjointed environmental management regimes that contributed to the current crisis; the cartographic visualizations of land loss used to activate public coastal policy; and the phases of public input that nevertheless failed to give voice to the citizens most impacted by various environmental management strategies. In closing, Colten situates Louisiana’s experience within broader discussions of climate change and recovery from repeated crises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel H. Lockett's Louisiana As It Is: A Geographical and Topographical Description of the State provides a reference and a guide to Louisiana during the late 1800s. The survey provides accurate geographical data and describes the physical features of the land. Louisiana As It Is delivers an encompassing overview of Lockett's entire survey process including the ways in which the survey was made and conducted and a detailed analysis of Louisiana's geographical design. Lockett offers accounts of the different cultures of the parishes and provides an enlightening portrait on the daily lives of the people. Lockett even remarks upon the public's common misconceptions concerning Louisiana's geography. He suggests that Louisiana As It Is aids in correcting and dispelling these assumptions. The work includes a preface by the editor, Lauren C. Post, and two appendixes that list population data and a translation of Lockett's orthographic nomenclature for each city.

Excerpt: ... on the Florida question, is the author of the well-known "Views of Louisiana," the most valuable work of the kind, along with the Geographical Tract of Mr. Darby, recently published, which our literature has as yet produced." Several original works of a recent date, fulfil their promise and are substantially nutritive--Such are the three discourses of the hon. Dewitt Clinton; the statistics of the hon. Timothy Pitkin; the views of Louisiana, by Mr. Brackenridge; and the geographical tract of Mr. Darby. Walsh's American Register. Introduction XXVII. Extracts from the Medical Repository. "Mr. William Darby appears, by his work, to be a gentlemen of high scientific and literary acquirements. His task of a descriptive geographical work embraces all that relates to the soil, produce, and natural history of Louisiana, and corrects not a few mistakes on many of those subjects which had remained unsettled, owing to want of sufficient observation, and of proper documents. No known traveller in that country has ever bestowed so much time and fatigue in collecting correct materials, and surveying distant and inaccessible points throughout the range of the various districts, the names of which, half Indian and French, would not perplex a little those who never were acquainted with the history of this interesting section of the New World, and which has "experienced singular vicissitudes of fortune, and a frequent change of sovereigns' M In its former governments, Louisiana was divided into parishes; but it was, nevertheless, geographically delineated, according to its natural grand prairies or meadows, into which the original settlers had seldom penetrated; it was therefore highly proper For Mr. Darby to attend to those very significant territorial...

Download or read book The West Bank of Greater New Orleans written by Richard Campanella and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Bank has been a vital part of greater New Orleans since the city’s inception, serving as its breadbasket, foundry, shipbuilder, railroad terminal, train manufacturer, and even livestock hub. At one time it was the Gulf South’s St. Louis, boasting a diversified industrial sector as well as a riverine, mercantilist, and agricultural economy. Today the mostly suburban West Bank is proud but not pretentious, pleasant if not prominent, and a distinct, affordable alternative to the more famous neighborhoods of the East Bank. Richard Campanella is the first to examine the West Bank holistically, as a legitimate subregion with its own story to tell. No other part of greater New Orleans has more diverse yet deeply rooted populations: folks who speak in local accents, who exhibit longstanding cultural traits, and, in some cases, who maintain family ownership of lands held since antebellum times—even as immigrants settle here in growing numbers. Campanella demonstrates that West Bankers have had great agency in their own place-making, and he challenges the notion that their story is subsidiary to a more important narrative across the river. The West Bank of Greater New Orleans is not a traditional history, nor a cultural history, but rather a historical geography, a spatial explanation of how the West Bank’s landscape formed: its terrain, environment, land use, jurisdictions, waterways, industries, infrastructure, neighborhoods, and settlement patterns, past and present. The book explores the drivers, conditions, and power structures behind those landscape transformations, using custom maps, aerial images, photographic montages, and a detailed historical timeline to help tell that complex geographical story. As Campanella shows, there is no “greater New Orleans” without its cross-river component. The West Bank is an essential part of this remarkable metropolis.
