Ocean Outbreak: Confronting the Rising Tide of Marine Disease Hardcover -
by Drew Harvell
From the rear cover
"Drew Harvell's life changed when she visited her Caribbean field site and discovered dead fan corals everywhere, killed by a new disease no one had ever seen. This inspired a dramatic career change, and Harvell committed to battling diseases in the ocean that kill corals, snails, and sea stars. Part memoir and part science expos, Ocean Outbreak is a recipe for launching into the unknown, providing a road map showing how one person can marshal the world of science to win against a global peril."--Steve Palumbi, author of The Evolution Explosion: How Humans Cause Rapid Evolutionary Change
"A marine medical whodunit, where the patients include sea stars facing odds worse than humans did during the Black Death. It is also a tale of hope, thanks to the dedication of a small band of scientists, including the author, who work tirelessly to understand and reduce the threats that disease poses to ocean life."--Nancy Knowlton, author of Citizens of the Sea "As a marine ecologist specializing in disease, Drew Harvell worries most about the threat posed by microbes, because in oceans beset by so many stresses, disease-causing microbes can gain the upper hand and bring about rapid, wide-scale ecological change. Ocean Outbreak brilliantly lays out the risk of disease and smart plans for improving ocean health."--Ted Danson actor, activist, and founding board member of Oceana "From salmon to sea stars, abalone to corals, marine disease pioneer Drew Harvell eloquently captures today's threats to the ocean--and their solutions."--Jane Lubchenco, Professor, Oregon State University; former Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; inaugural U.S. Science Envoy for the Ocean "With riveting storytelling and a chilling sense of urgency, Drew Harvell astutely analyzes the catastrophic outbreaks decimating four kinds of iconic sea creatures with consequences that affect everyone, everywhere. Knowing is the key to caring, and Ocean Outbreak has what it takes to upend complacency and inspire actions to heal the harm humans have imposed on the sea--while there is still time."--Sylvia Earle, National Geographic Society Explorer-in-Residence and founder of Mission BlueDetails
