What is accomplished is a sharper definition of Steinbeck as environmentalist, a description previously used all too nebulously, an aspect of Steinbeck's political awareness that has not been given its fair share of attention.... A most necessary addition.\" - Choice \"Each of the editors writes an introduction to the book from the perspective of a literary scholar who is new to Steinbeck (Beegel), from the perspective of a Steinbeck specialist (Shillinglaw), and from the perspective of a field scientist (Tiffney). This pattern is carried out throughout the collection by the various contributors who are also non-specialist literary scholars, Steinbeck specialists, or scientists. The essays are well done and some are exceptional, but what raises this book above so many anthologies of criticism on a single author is once again the rich variety of approaches, which are, nevertheless, brought together into a unified whole.\" - South Atlantic Review\"","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52195230417239,"sku":"9780817354879","price":30.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780817354879.jpg?v=1763646826","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/steinbeck-and-the-environment-interdisciplinary-approaches-9780817354879","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
