Illuminating America's political and economic relationship with the environment from the age of the conquistadors to the present, Davis demonstrates how the Gulf's fruitful ecosystems and exceptional beauty empowered a growing nation. Filled with vivid, untold stories from the sportfish that launched Gulfside vacationing to Hollywood's role in the country's first offshore oil wells, this \"vast and welltold story shows how we made the Gulf . . . [into] a 'national sacrifice zone' \" (Bill McKibben). The first and only study of its kind, The Gulf offers \"a unique and illuminating history of the American Southern coast and sea as it should be written\" (Edward O. Wilson).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 608\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kirkus Prize (2017)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978544316717,"sku":"9781631494024","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/REUxRVZOZHVGckRNZUpkeXc5MFdXZz09.webp?v=1775805727","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-gulf-the-making-of-an-american-sea-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
