Insect pests remain one of the main constraints to food and fiber
production worldwide despite farmers deploying a range of
techniques to protect their crops. Modern pest control is guided by
the principles of integrated pest management (IPM) with pest
resistant germplasm being an important part of the foundation.
Since 1996, when the first genetically modified (GM)
insect-resistant maize variety was commercialized in the USA, the
area planted to insect-resistant GM varieties has grown
dramatically, representing the fastest adoption rate of any
agricultural technology in human history. The goal of our book is
to provide an overview on the role insect-resistant GM plants play
in different crop systems worldwide. We hope that the book will
contribute to a more rational debate about the role GM crops can
play in IPM for food and fiber production.

To go by today's critics of media bias - who have created a virtual
cottage industry - American journalism has reached a nadir, yet
with all its well-documented faults, journalism is vital to the
health of our democracy, the glue of information that holds this
complex nation together. This book shows the most important roles
that journalism plays in the world's oldest democracy. Two seasoned
educators and practitioners of journalism have assembled a team of
writers who look beyond the critics to show that there is much to
be praised about the state of American journalism today. Journalism
tells us most of what we know about the world beyond our own
experience by going where its audience cannot or will not. It keeps
watch on the government and other powerful institutions, exposes
wrongdoing and injustice, and shares the endless fascinations of
everyday life. Through stories of real people, this book forcefully
argues that American journalism is better than its critics admit
and a force for good in the lives of both individuals and the
nation. Like the exemplary journalism it describes, it offers
dozens of instances that show how good journalistic practices
enrich the daily lives of citizens and enable them to play their
own roles in the democracy. These essays offer a multifaceted view
of the press, tracing the development of free expression through
American history and showing how the principles of journalism that
we take for granted are playing a revolutionary role in emerging
democracies. They report the results of a unique national survey -
undertaken for this book - revealing how Americans really view and
use the press and cite the successes of good reporting, from
hometown newspapers to NPR. They show how investigative journalism
and computer-assisted reporting unearth important truths and even
create new knowledge and how citizens can demand the good
journalism they need. What good is journalism? This book spells out
the answer through a conversation about journalism and democracy
that offers both an antidote to the recent storm of ideologically
based criticism of ""liberal media"" and a demonstration of the
true worth of an institution essential to the protection of
freedom. It provides today's readers - and tomorrow's journalists -
a fresh perspective on the press to remind us all where we would be
without it.

In 1944, twelve Death Row convicts are selected by Major Reisman
(Lee Marvin) for a suicide mission. With the aid of his assistant,
Sergeant Bowren (Richard Jaeckel), Reisman gradually moulds his
gang of murderers, rapists, thieves and psychotics into a tough
fighting unit. He leads them into occupied France in an attempt to
infiltrate a chateau where the Nazi top brass are holding a summit.
Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, John Cassavetes and a then-unknown
Donald Sutherland are among the dozen.
