This third volume in The Library of America's authoritative edition of John Steinbeck's writings shows one of America's most enduring popular writers continuing restlessly to explore new subject matter and new approaches to storytelling. The Moon Is Down (1942), set in an unnamed Scandinavian country under German occupation, dramatizes the transformation of ordinary life under totalitarian rule and the underground struggle against the Nazi invaders. In Cannery Row (1945) Steinbeck paid tribute to his closest friend, the marine biologist Ed Ricketts, in the central character of Doc, proprietor of the Western Biological Laboratory and spiritual and financial mainstay of a cast of philosophical drifters and hangers-on. The comic and bawdy evocation of the main street of Monterey's... Less

The 1955 film version of John Steinbeck's East of Eden will always be popular because of the presence in the cast of James Dean. Even so, the film covered only a small portion of the original novel. For those Steinbeck completists who prefer a more thorough treatment, we submit for your approval the TV miniseries adaptation of East of Eden, which first aired February 8, 9 and 11, 1981. This eight-hour dramatization begins in the years following the Civil War. Braggadocio union officer Cyrus Trask (Warren Oates) is the father of gentle, loyal Adam (Timothy Bottoms) and hellraiser Charles (Bruce Boxleitner). Enter the bewitching, mean-spirited Cathy Ames (Jane Seymour), who leads both brothers on and causes an irreparable rift between them. Eventually, Adam marries Cathy, taking her and... Less

You can feel Eden PM work fast! Eden PM works in as little as 15 minutes. It's the only sleep aid on the market today that contains the new "A34T" amino-acid complex.

Good sleep has been shown to reduce stress levels, help in weight loss, and elevate mood. Depression, anxiety and fatigue and many other conditions may be dramatically reduced by deep restful sleep. Good sleep elevates Leptin and suppresses Ghrelin, two key hormones affecting appetite and hunger. Deep sleep also increases your... Less

Eden Bath Natural Stone Sink - Petrified WoodYou simply cannot get more natural than a stone sink made of petrified wood. Although its called petrified wood, and it actually was at one point in time natural wood, it is now stone. Over thousands of years the process of fossilization has replaced all the organic materials in the wood with minerals keeping the structure of the wood, but effectively turning it into stone.Petrified wood sinks are likely the most unique product in our line because no two are even close to alike. The color, shape and size vary for every piece, and can range from 19" to 32" in length (side to side). Additionally, as the sinks are carved from a "trunk" of petrified wood the height can also vary. The height of the petrified wood stone sinks can vary from 5" to 8"... Less
