Needs to be updated3
I didn't realize that the book was so old when I accepted Amazon's offer to bundle it with Admiralty in a Nutshell. This is a 1984 edition and, in the section I read, was really lacking some critical information. When discussion how the United States handles oil spills there is, obviously, no mention of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 - A HUGE omission. I suspect that there are other such discrepancies because of its age.
