Gulf: The Making of An American Sea

Gulf won the Pulitzer Prize for History and the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction. 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 well-told story shows how we made the Gulf into a "national sacrifice zone." The first and only study of its kind, The Gulf offers a unique and illuminating history of the American Southern coast and sea.
