Hailed as a ānonfiction epic . . . in the tradition of Jared Diamondās best-seller Collapse, and Simon Winchesterās Atlanticā (Dallas Morning News), Jack E. Davisās The Gulf is āby turns informative, lyrical, inspiring and chilling for anyone who cares about the future of āAmericaās Seaā ā (Wall Street Journal). Illuminating Americaās political and economic relationship with the environment from the age of the conquistadors to the present, Davis demonstrates how the Gulfās fruitful ecosystems and exceptional beauty empowered a growing nation. Filled with vivid, untold stories from the sportfish that launched Gulfside vacationing to Hollywoodās role in the countryās first offshore oil wells, this āvast and welltold story shows how we made the Gulf . . . [into] a ānational sacrifice zoneā ā (Bill McKibben). The first and only study of its kind, The Gulf offers āa unique and illuminating history of the American Southern coast and sea as it should be writtenā (Edward O. Wilson).
