Robert Polidori's "After the Flood" is a collection of haunting photos of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina

I'm desperately trying to track down this book for a decent price. Robert Polidori's After The Flood is a look at the disaster after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. I was reminded of this book recently after watching Beyonce's Formation music video (you should really watch it).
