Merv Fingas 
Handbook of Oil Spill Science and Technology [PDF ebook] 

Provides a scientific basis for the cleanup and for the assessment of oil spills

* Enables Non-scientific officers to understand the science they use on a daily basis

* Multi-disciplinary approach covering fields as diverse as biology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, oceanography and toxicology

* Covers the science of oil spills from risk analysis to cleanup and through the effects on the environment

* Includes case studies examining and analyzing spills, such as Tasman Spirit oil spill on the Karachi Coast, and provides lessons to prevent these in the future
