Inhaltsangabe

The evolution of Monterey history from its Spanish colonial origins to its rise to become "Sardine Capital of the World"—and the stage upon which Pulitzer and Nobel winner, John Steinbeck, set "Cannery Row" and "Sweet Thursday"—is illustrated with 178 archival photographs from the Hathaway Collection.

This new Second Edition features state-of-the-art "stochastic" (random dot) imaging and printing technology to bring dramitic clarity and detail to its digitially restored photography. The photos in this book illustrate the evolution of Monterey history, the fishing and canning industries, the processes and working conditions in Monterey's world famous sardine trade. They also show in accurate detail the actual locations used by John Steinbeck in his Cannery Row fiction.

The book contains a detailed, indexed historical map to the Row's canneries and literary sites, a full text index, a research bibiolgraphy, recommended website resources, and a special family album of marine biologist, Edward F. Ricketts.

Born and raised in Berkeley, California, and a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, the author has seen old Cannery Row through thousands of eyes over his twenty years of direct oral and archival historical research of the magical place Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author, John Steinbeck, made world famous.

The photogrpahy in this book vividly illustrates the informaiton, understanding and appreciation of Cannery Row history, the basis of John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row," and Ed Ricketts' underlying conservation lesson for the new centruy.
