Sound Truth and Corporate Myth$:
The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill

by Riki Ott, Ph.D.

This book frames the new understanding of oil toxicity to humans and wildlife from the stories of key witnesses and participants in the environmental tragedy that struck Prince William Sound in 1989.

Since 1987 Dr. Ott has dedicated her academic training in marine biology and toxicology to help the general public understand the effects of oil, mining, and timber industry activities on water quality and marine and aquatic ecosystems. She has helped citizens use this new knowledge to redefine business practices and government accountability to improve the general quality of life through environmental protection, social justice, and economic stability. She has written numerous white papers and one book (Alaska's Copper River Delta, University of Washington Press, 1998), served on several state-appointed advisory or working groups, worked with many nonprofit organizations in various capacities (founding director to volunteer), testified often before Congress and the Alaska State Legislature, and received state and national recognition for her work.
