BLACK TIDE: THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF THE GULF OIL SPILL

Book ID/图书代码： 03830511B47817

English Summary/英文概要： A searing look at the human face of BP′s disaster in the gulf

It is the largest oil disaster in American history, and it could happen again. It is more than a story of ruined beaches, dead wildlife, corporate spin, political machinations, and financial fallout. It is a riveting human drama filled with people whose lives will forever be defined as "before" and "after the gulf oil disaster." Black Tide is the only book to tell this story through the perspective of people on all sides of the catastrophe, from those who lost their lives, loved ones, and livelihoods to those who made the policies that set the devastating event in motion, those who cut the corners that put corporate profits over people and the environment, and those who have committed their lives to ensuring that such an event is never repeated.

Dramatic and compelling, Black Tide exposes the human failings and human cost of the largest oil disaster in American history and how it could easily happen again.

"We cannot allow the BP disaster to be pushed from public view the way BP used chemical dispersants to hide the oil. These remarkable stories–of loss, heroism and culpability–are a vivid reminder that this catastrophe will be with us for decades, and that we have not yet made the changes necessary to prevent destruction in the future." –Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.

"It′s hard to imagine a better person to turn loose on this epochal disaster than Antonia Juhasz, with her compassionate heart, vivid prose, and rich expertise in both oil and economic policy. From oil–smeared beaches, to the drilling rig′s control room, to the big picture of Big Oil and the governments they push around. It′s not just about disaster: it′s a series of encounters with real people, from oceanographers to oyster–shuckers, striving to make things right. Black Tide is riveting, infuriating, and incredibly important.–Rebecca Solnit, author of A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 聚焦英国石油公司（BP）海湾石油泄露真面目，该次石油泄漏悲剧堪称美国历史上最严重的一次石油泄露灾难，且很有可能再次上演。这场灾难揭露的不仅是触目惊心的海滩，死亡了的野生动物，公司诈欺，政治阴谋和金融余波。更是由那些永远被定格在油泄漏灾难前的生命和侥幸生还的人们为我们上演了一场人间悲喜剧。《黑浪》是唯一一部从多个视角讲述这一灾难的书籍，涵盖了与灾难相关的各方面人群，丧生者，亲人，政策制订者，执行推动者，为利益偷工减料并讲危险构筑在生命及环境之上者，以及那些致力于阻止这类悲剧重演的人们。

作为一本极具戏剧性和吸引力的书，黑浪展示了人类的失败以及为这场美国历史上最大的油泄漏灾难付出的惨痛代价，也揭示了这类惨剧仍旧极易重演。

“这次的英国石油公司（BP）惨剧一定要对公众保持极高的透明度，决不允许英国石油公司使用化学分散剂隐藏石油。这场震惊世人的关于损失，英雄主义以及罪责的惨剧是一个活生生的例子，醒醒着我们这场灾难的影响将伴随我们数十载，而我们也还尚未作出任何实质性的改变以防止此类惨剧在将来再次发生。” 娜奥米•克莱恩（Naomi Klein）在她的《休克主义：灾难资本主义的兴起》一书中如是评价。

“很难再找到一个比安东尼娅•朱哈斯更适合的人，能够无拘无束的谈论这一历史性灾难，她极富同情心，谈吐生动，并兼具石油和政治经济方面的专业知识。从遍地油污的海滩，钻机控制室，到美国庞大石油工业的全景以及任其摆布的政府机构，她所描述的已远非灾难，而是她与海洋学者和一些沉默者的一系列真实对话，试图修正人类过往的错误。《黑浪》吸引人，却也令人愤怒的，更重要的是，它不容忽视。” 雷贝嘉•索尔尼（Rebecca Solnit）在她的《建在地狱里的天堂：从灾难中崛起的奇特社区》一书中如是评论道。(兼职翻译-DC)
