"An impressive book that provides a vivid account of how the spill
happened, coupled with a report on the anxiety experienced by those
who had no way of knowing how long the spill would last or how bad
it would get...Readers will find the book accessible and
agreeable...an insightful work." "--""The""New York Times Book
Review

"Safina offers an impassioned, on the ground chronicle of the 2010
Gulf oil blowout that surpassed Exxon-Valdez to rank as the worst
in history. His account achieves a broad, reasoned perspective that
frames events against the more insidious damage that farm and
industrial runoff, canal-digging, levee-building, and rising sea
level have wrought on the Gulf and its wetlands.""--Publishers
Weekly"

Safina in this illuminating, monitory study: "The real catastrophe
is the oil we don't spill...the oil we burn, the coal we burn, the
gas we burn...And as the reefs dissolve and the ocean's
productivity declines, so will go the food security of hundreds of
millions of people."
"--Kirkus Reviews
"Environmentalist Safina brings his signature compassion, marine
