R.W. Kates, C. E. Colten, S. Laska, and S.P. Leatherman. Reconstruction of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina: A Research Perspective. Online article, published Oct. 3, 2006 in PNAS.org Vol. 103, No. 4; pp. 14653-14660. Very interesting article, with a highly original point of view. It is disappointing, however, in that much of the research cited is old; recovery research in the past decade is under-reported.
