Description
Here are essays examining the Delta’s physical properties, boundaries, and climate from a geologist, archeologist, and environmental historian. The Delta could also be viewed throughout the lens of the social sciences and humanities—historians, folklorists, and others studying the connection between the land and its people, in particular the importance of agriculture and the culture of the area, especially music, literature, and food.
Each and every turn of the page reveals differently of seeing the seven-state region that may be bisected by and dependent at the Mississippi River, suggesting in the long run that there are myriad ways of taking a look at, and defining, the Delta.
