"Constant Chaos" explodes the myth of the pencil-pushing government worker. Spill responders are on call for all of us 24/7, mitigating environmental emergencies and natural disasters. Sometimes at great risk to themselves, they muster know-how and resources when:
• ships and tankers spill fuel,
• trains crash,
• catastrophic floods and other natural disasters occur,
• unexplained strange blobs fall from the sky, and
• meth labs and toxic chemicals threaten neighborhoods and people.
Ron Holcomb's collection of true stories of triumph and human tragedy during his decades with the Washington State Department of Ecology surprise and amaze.

They highlight an array of colorful characters and showcase the caring, dedication, cooperation, and determination of career public servants. Ron Holcomb, like spill responders who work around the clock handling emergencies in every state and many nations, gives us something to cheer about amid "Constant Chaos."
