Product Information

The story of how a chain of failures, missteps, and bad decisions led to America's biggest environmental disaster. On April 20, 2010, the gigantic drilling rig Deepwater Horizon blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven crew members and causing a massive eruption of oil from BP's Macondo well. For months, oil gushed into the Gulf, spreading death and destruction. Americans watched real-time video of the huge column of oil and gas spewing from the obviously failed "blowout preventer." What was missing, though, was the larger story of this disaster. In Blowout in the Gulf , energy experts William Freudenburg and Robert Gramling explain both the disaster and the decisions that led up to it. Blowout in the Gulf weaves a fascinating narrative of failures, missteps, and bad decisions, explaining why this oil spill was a disaster waiting to happen--and how making better energy choices will help prevent others like it.

Reviews
"Here is a full accounting of BP's many previous accidents and violations -- the company was the worst in the industry for its safety-sacrificing cost cutting. Freudenburg and Gramling also tell the story of the corporation's first incarnation as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1909 and how it became British Petroleum in 1954. Science, commerce, and the politics of oil are all newly illuminated here, accompanied by invaluable explanations of the risks of offshore drilling and a pragmatic look at the energy conundrums we now face." Booklist, "For readers interested in knowing more about events leading up to the spill, Blowout in the Gulf provides a solid description of what is now known. Theauthors examine the technology, geology, management decisions, and regulatory actions involved, andthey also provide enough background for general readers to digest these specifics." Times Higher Education, For a comprehensive and systematic walk-through of how the BP spill played out before, during, and after the Macondo blowout, this book's a good pick. Exploring the technical side of things without sacrificing readability, the authors explain the disaster in its social, political, and scientific contexts., "In this intelligent and refreshingly readable--if inevitably depressing -- expose,Freudenburg and Gramling, professors of environmental studies and sociology respectively, andlongtime collaborators and observers of the oil industry, analyze the origins of the DeepwaterHorizon explosion and its aftermath.... Readers interested in energy crisis, peak oil, environmentaland climate change issues will appreciate the straightforward analysis and will hope this importantbook finds its way into the hands of policy makers."
