We love to support our local authors and our events allow us to give something back to the community as well. We offer book signings, talks, readings, writing workshops, and meals with an author—often accompanied with a slide show.
Riki Ott visits ABFAS with Not One Drop: Betrayal and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
In the early 1970s, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens promised Cordova fishermen "not one drop" of oil would be spilled in Prince William Sound from proposed tanker traffic and the trans-Alaska pipeline project. Fishermen knew better.
On Saturday, November 22nd, we hope you'll join us for an inspiring evening event as ABFAS is pleased to welcome Dr. Riki Ott, the author of an amazing new book, Not One Drop: Betrayal and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Spanning nearly 40 years, Not One Drop is an extraordinary tale of ordinary people who take on the world's richest oil companies and most powerful politicians to protect Prince William Sound from oil accidents.
A commercial salmon "fisherma'am," and marine biologist, Dr. Riki Ott experienced firsthand the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and chose to do something about it. She retired from fishing and founded three nonprofit organizations to deal with the lingering harm. Her previous book on the spill is Sound Truth and Corporate Myth$.
"Ott is the Erin Brockovitch of the Exxon Valdez oil disaster. In Not One Drop she recounts a riveting tale of loss, intrigue, cover-ups, and courage-and in the process helps us all see why we will be glad to leave behind the age of oil." — Fran Korten, Publisher of YES! Magazine
Saturday, November 22nd, the evening's plans include dinner with Dr. Ott at Apple Annie's in Cashmere, followed by a presentation on the subject of this bold new book. The event is set to run from 6:30-9:00pm.
