In the Wake of Katrina by Larry Towell

Larry Towell is a Canadian documentary photographer and a member of renown Magnum agency. In the Wake of Katrina, despite some haunting images, is not Towell's strongest work, but it still speaks volumes about destruction, neglect and sadness that is the aftermath of Katrina. I never thought I would say that, but I almost prefer the multimedia piece on Magnum website to the book. You can access it here: http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/essay/katrina
