Editorial : "It is now 24 years since approximately 34,500 tonnes of crude oil were released into Prince William Sound, Alaska, as a result of the grounding of the tanker Exxon Valdez on Bligh Reef. This oil spill has been described as the most intensively studied in history - over 800 peer-reviewed scientific papers have been produced to date and work is ongoing. This volume, written by scientists who conducted many of these scientific studies, provides an excellent compilation and critical evaluation of the evidence gathered in relation to impacts which occurred as a result of the incident. The additional perspective given by time has also allowed a very useful series of 'Lessons learned' following each of the main topic areas to be included. I can recommend this volume to anyone involved in studies undertaken to assess impacts of oil and/or chemical spills, and to others interested in this area of research."

What light does nearly 25 years of scientific study of the Exxon Valdez oil spill shed on the fate and effects of a spill? How can the results help in assessing future spills? How can ecological risks be assessed and quantified? In this, the first book on the effects of Exxon Valdez in 15 years, scientists directly involved in studying the spill provide a comprehensive perspective on, and synthesis of, scientific information on long-term spill effects. The coverage is multidisciplinary, with chapters discussing a range of issues including effects on biota, successes and failures of post-spill studies and techniques, and areas of continued disagreement. An even-handed and critical examination of more than two decades of scientific study, this is an invaluable guide for studying future oil spills and, more broadly, for unraveling the consequences of any large environmental disruption.

He then weighs the interpretations and decides which one is most likely correct.
Inspiring the Moral Imagination is a helpful, concise commentary on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It is a great book to curl up with in a chair with and make for a cozy afternoon read with a candle lit in the backround. All around, this book was a great fun read and I can't wait for Volume 2. All the great places I stayed at, and everybody else easily found as well, are not in their books. The conflict between evangelization and government policies was just one of a number of causes of the war. Out-of-body experiences are one thing. The rest of the story went right along with it. I have always been interested in languages and I wanted to learn more Russian to surprise her. The gags are over the top, obscene and hilarious. great pictures, colors; different interesting views. The way they could read each other was so amazing, especially him, he saw right through her and it helped her so much, ugh th
