Through the worst years of the Great Depression as many as five thousand laborers toiled twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to erect the huge structure that would harness the Colorado River and transform the American West.

When houses are flattened, towns submerged, and people stranded without electricity or even food, we attribute the suffering to "natural disasters" or "acts of God." But what if they're neither? What if we, as a society, are bringing these catastrophes on ourselves? That's the provocative theory of Catastrophe in the Making, the first audiobook to recognize Hurricane Katrina not as a "perfect storm," but a tragedy of our own making - and one that could become commonplace.

Цитата. «Сегодня, пожалуй, как никогда прежде неравнодушные граждане мира стремятся понять, как работает пространство, и даже сделать что-то для его улучшения. Отчасти это связано с осознанием того, что мы стоим на пороге грандиозных перемен. Урбанизация, перенаселение, изменение климата, сдвиги в энергетическом балансе планеты—все это побуждает нас пересматривать принципы обустройства среды обитания и искать способы организовать ее так, чтобы она помогала нам не только выжить, но и сохранить психическое здоровье».
