Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition color illustrated stiff softcover wraps with extended "French" style inside front and rear flaps. Steinbeck Centennial Edition (1902 - 2002). Includes About John Steinbeck and rear section regarding additional Penguin's deluxe Steinbeck Centennial Editions. A remainder mark at lower page edge. "An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own - a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry. Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, "a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands." A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Steinbeck's tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America's most widely read and beloved novels." - from the inner front French-style extended front cover flap. Buckley, Paul (cover design); Davidson, ANdrew (cover art); Halsman, Philippe (rear outer cover photograph) (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition black boards, black spine and silver spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Paul Newman; Foreword by Melissa Newman; Introduction; Afterword by Clea Newman Soderlund; Editor's Note; Index; Photographic Credits and A Note About the Authors. Illustrated with 41 black-and-white photographs from the family archive. "This book came out of the struggle to try and explain it all to my kids. I want to leave some kind of record that sets things straight, pokes holes in the mythology that's sprung up around me, destroys some of the legends, and keeps the piranhas off. Something that documents the time I was on this planet with some kind of accuracy. Because what exists on the record now has no bearing at all on the truth. That's all I really want to do." - Paul Newman, from the rear outer jacket. "In 1986, Pau lNewman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, embarked on an ambitous project. Stewart was to compile an oral history, asking Newman's family and friends and those who worked closely with him to talk about the actor's life. And then Newman would work with Stewart to offer his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts only recently rediscovered. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman's voice is powerful: sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always, above all else, truthful. The additional voices that run throughout - from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston - add richness and color and context to the story Newman tells. He recounts in brilliant detail his often traumatic childhood, his teenage insecurities, his youthful failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Brando and Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son, Scott, and his desire for his daughters to understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers on his relationship with Joanne Woodward - their deep love for each other, the ways she shaped him intellectually, emotionally, and sensually, and his enduring reliance on her. Revelatory and introspective, loving and candid, complex and profound, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man provides a new understanding of perhaps the greatest movie star of our time, a man many admired but few really knew - from the perspective of the man himself." - from the inner front jacket flap. Gall, John (jacket design); Davidson, Bruce (jacket front photograph) (illustrator). …

Paperback. Condition: New. This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on integrated pest management (IPM) in cereal cultivation.The first chapter describes a holistic approach to IPM using knowledge of the natural regulation of herbivore and weed populations and of natural succession in agricultural wetlands. It also highlights the need for an improved understanding of rice ecosystems in a holistic manner to ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of rice production.The second chapter provides a brief overview of IPM and reviews the range of control methods available to growers, including biological, cultural and chemical. The chapter considers the implementation of IPM programmes in wheat production and utilises a case study from New Zealand to demonstrate a successful example of it.The third chapter discusses key insect pests of sorghum, their life cycles and their impact on crop productivity and performance. The chapter reviews the use of IPM programmes as a sustainable alternative to controlling pest infestations without the need for insecticides.The final chapter examines host plant resistance as an ecological approach to managing crop pests and considers the process of evaluating resistance on the basis of insect behavior. The chapter also looks at breeding rice for resistance to insect pests and considers the constraints on the development and deployment of insect-resistant plant technology.…
