      For those interested in putting the Gulf crisis in perspective, there can be no better guide than this funny, often uncertain, frank, opinionated, always curious, informed and awestruck, accounting of how we've gone wrong and could go right, a full-strength antidote to the Kryptonite of corporate greed and human ignorance.
      --Atlanta Journal-Constitution
      Traveling the shores of the Gulf from east to west with oceanographers, subsistence fisherman, seafood distributors, and other long-time Gulf residents, acclaimed author and environmental advocate David Gessner offers a lively, arresting account of the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. With The Tarball Chronicles Gessner tells a story that extends beyond the archetypal oil-soaked pelican, beyond politics, beyond BP, and beyond other oil spill books in the market. Instead, heart on his sleeve and beer in hand, he explores the ecosystem of the Gulf as a complicated whole and focuses on the people whose lives and livelihoods have been jeopardized by the spill. With his

      Winner of The Southern Environmental Law Center's Phillip D. Reed Memorial Award for Outstanding Writing on the Southern Environment Praise for The Tarball Chronicles Anyone who wanted a first-hand look at the Gulf after the news cycle ended will find it here . . . brilliant, thoughtful. -- Publishers Weekly (STARRED review) If you read only one book about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill this year, it should be this one. If you plan not to read any books about it, make an exception for this blunt, funny, eye-opening quest to find the real stories behind the Gulf crisis. -- Shelf Awareness Expressive and adventurous. A profoundly personal inquiry into the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe unique in its hands-on immediacy and far-ranging ruminations. --Donna Seaman, Booklist Brilliant--the best and most original writing coming out of the Gulf. --Scott Dodd, OnEarth Magazine, Natural Resources Defense Council The Tarball Chronicles [is] an eye-opening, jaw-dropping account . . . Gessner crafts a powerfully informative but also immensely relatable narrative. Entertaining and rousing. -- Mother Nature Network Gessner's account of his journey blazes out with a fiery, pugilistic style...His journey around the Gulf of Mexico offers us a powerful and sobering reminder that whether or not we feel the direct effects of the oil spill in our backyards, we are all implicated, all compromised, and--the most important for Gessner--all connected --James Lang, America: The National Catholic Weekly David Gessner is on a roll. -- New Orleans Times-Picayune For those interested in putting the Gulf crisis in perspective, there can be no better guide than this funny, often uncertain, frank, opinionated, always curious, informed and awestruck, accounting of how we've gone wrong and could go right, a full-strength antidote to the Kryptonite of corporate greed andm
