The Death of Ramón González has become a benchmark book since its publication in 1990. It has been taught in undergraduate and graduate courses in every social science discipline, sustainable and alternative agriculture, environmental studies, ecology, ethnic studies, public health, and Mexican, Latin American, and environmental history. The book has also been used at the University of California-Santa Cruz as a model of interdisciplinary work and at the University of Iowa as a model of fine journalism, and has inspired numerous other books, theses, films, and investigative journalism pieces. This revised edition of The Death of Ramón González updates the science and politics of pesticides and agricultural development. In a new afterword, Angus Wright reconsiders the book's central ideas within the context of globalization, trade liberalization, and NAFTA, showing that in many ways what he called "the modern agricultural dilemma" should now be thought of as a "twenty-first century dilemma" that involves far more than agriculture.
Directed by Jorge Gutierrez (Mad, 2010, Warner Bros.) and produced by Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, 2006, Estudios Picasso), The Book of Life is set to become one of the most popular animated movies of 2014. This comprehensive collection of artwork, production notes and never-before-seen sketches is an unbeatable companion to the film, and an inspirational guide for aspiring filmmakers.
