520    In 2005, the world watched in horror as a major American 
       city-New Orleans-was nearly wiped off the map by an epic 
       flood. Newscasters attributed the flooding to a "natural 
       disaster."  But one New Orleanian had her doubts.  Words 
       Whispered in Water is the story of how-against all odds-
       one woman exposed the culprit in the catastrophic flooding
       and compelled the news media, and the government, to tell 
       the truth.  Words Whispered in Water highlights the 
       importance of exposing the bad behavior of giant 
       corporations and bureaucracies whose unsavory activities 
       affect millions of people, because once bad behavior is 
       exposed, there is noticeably less fraud and better 
       behavior on the part of an organization. Rosenthal's story
       is crucial listening for potential citizen activists 
       looking to make a difference. Additionally, Words 
       Whispered in Water provides lessons for politicians and 
       bureaucrats from City Hall, to Congress, to the almost 
       faceless Army Corps.  Finally, Words Whispered in Water 
       offers a valuable warning as to what is likely to happen 
       in this time of eroding coastlines, coupled with America's
       history of trying to control-instead of coexist-with 
       water.  "For all the myths and misinformation that 
       circulated after Hurricane Katrina, there are still people
       across the country who don't know that it was the collapse
       of the levees, not the hurricane itself, that drowned New 
       Orleans. Sandy Rosenthal overcame hurricane hardships to 
       establish, with a computer whiz of a son, the Levees.org 
       website to get the story out and arouse the public. The 
       lengths the Army Corps went through to silence her or 
       deflect the truth and the stumbling blocks she experienced
       along the way are all here in a quick-moving tale. It 
       makes for a gripping read."  "An inspiring memoir and 
       gripping detective story, Words Whispered in Water 
       investigates the cause of the 2005 New Orleans flood in 
       all of its muddied complexity. In this era of climate 
       breakdown and failing infrastructure, Rosenthal's book is 
       more than a history lesson. It's a master class in citizen
       advocacy and a rousing call to action."  "Sandy is bright,
       dedicated, and fearless-a bad combination if you're an 
       Army Corps of Engineers PR person…. She has fought for 
       her city, and her community, harder than most soldiers 
       fight in war. And, with a new Corps-built system starting 
       to reveal its own problems, she's not through fighting 
       yet."  "Read the inside story for yourself in this 
       suspenseful, engaging tale of how Rosenthal began 
       investigating the US Army Corps of Engineers shortly after
       Katrina and her efforts to hold accountable the Corps and 
       other public officials."
