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.

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.
