Third, an emphasis is placed on finding water in the desert.

The world as we know it is changing, again. Pandemics are an inescapable reality. The interconnectedness of the world means that a new virus today can become a global outbreak tomorrow.

Traveling across the Gulf to make sense of an ever-changing story and its often-nonsensical twists, Safina expertly deconstructs the series of calamitous misjudgments that caused the Deepwater Horizon blowout, zeroes in on BP’s misstatements, evasions, and denials, reassesses his own reaction to the government’s crisis handling, and reviews the consequences of the leak.

As we all know, our everyday foods have their respective life spans.
