{"product_id":"9781552665695","title":"The Ocean Ranger: Remaking the Promise of Oil","description":"On February 15, 1982, the oil rig Ocean Ranger sank off the coast of Newfoundland taking the entire crew of eighty-four men — including the author’s brother — down with it. It was the worst sea disaster in Canada since the Second World War, but the memory of this event gradually faded into a sad story about a bad storm — relegated to the “Extreme Weather” section of the CBC archives. Susan Dodd resurrects this disaster from the realm of “history” and maps the socio-political processes of its aftermath, when power, money and collective hopes for the future revised the story of corporate indifference and betrayal of public trust into a “lesson learned” by an heroic industry advancing technology in the face of a brutal environment. This book is a navigational resource for other disaster aftermaths, including that of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, and a call for vigilant government regulation of industry in all its forms.","brand":"Fernwood Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133440508144,"sku":"9781552665695","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781552665695_p0.jpg?v=1763753247","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552665695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
