(no subject)

So a question for those of you who have experience in publishing: is there any way that a book that amazon says was published on September 13, 2005 could possibly contain text related to hurricane Katrina (well, aside from amazon being wrong...)?


Separately, since a third person has now asked, in March I ran 117.3 miles. And saw the world's most uninspired Hare Krishnas while doing so...

ETA:
The author says that he wrote that text in the late 90s.

Wait... when was Hurricane Katrina? I feel like it was really recent, but was it that long ago?

If my sense of time is just seriously skewed and Hurricane Katrina did in fact occur in the August of 2005 (and not in one of the Augusts after that), then there is no way that the book could contain any useful text on the subject. The book would have been at the printer in August of 2005 in order to publish by September 13. Even if they were rushing it, they still would have had to have had the final text done by, say, June. And they never rush things that much.

Could it be that the book in question is a more recent edition of a book that originally published in 2005? If it's a new edition, it could have been edited and updated, or it could have a new introduction.

Second edition. Not being able to look at the book, though, who knows? Fat fingers? The 5 and 6 keys are adjacent on the keyboard...
