"… extremely valuable to students and novices in the oil spill community."
—Dr. Carl E. Brown, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Quebec"… an entirely new approach to the study of oil spill effects on the environment. The approach is a unique approach using a system of taxonomy and ontology to describe the effects of oil spills."
—Merv Fingas, Spill Science, Alberta, Canada"For those involved with oil spills in the coastal marine environment, this book is an essential reference. The amount of time and experience that went into its compilation must have been enormous. The book should thus be flagged as a must have for those charged with dealing with aspects of oil spills, whether working in government and private industry. The Deep Horizon incident is ample proof that such a book was much needed in 2010. Thanks to the efforts of these tireless researchers, considerable information has been collated in a useful manner. This book is thus highly recommended as an essential, practical guide for addressing oil-spill impacts."
—Journal of Coastal Research, September 2016"…an extremely useful reference for all those interested in the topic for whatever reason."
—Chromatographia, September 2016
