Good Night, Hollywood is a critical look at the events leading up to the death of Marilyn Monroe. For years, the notion that she killed herself has floated round the public's eye due to this idea being falsely portrayed by her last known personal psychiatrist. This book details the absurdity of his claims and takes an in-depth look at the details of circumstances that surrounded her last days by outlining statements made by witnesses and by some of the closest people in her life. Many of these statements have been overlooked or outright ignored to the detriment of the truth.I attempt to reveal a reality much closer to the truth by examining these disregarded statements by witnesses who claim to be in the know, a review of her autopsy report, and the dissecting of the institutions of power that surrounded Marilyn Monroe. All of those reasons combined played a significant role in her life and untimely demise.Unlike many other theories that attempt to solve the case by assigning blame to one individual or one group of people, this book intertwines the characters in her life to show how they are all connected. Just like a row of dominoes, once the first domino falls, it is inevitable that they will all fall.What is left in the aftermath is an early end to a beloved movie star and a public that is duped into swallowing a false story that protects the guilty while reinforcing the perils of drug dependency and the Hollywood lifestyle.

This volume reviews key advances in precision agriculture technology and applications. Chapters summarise developments in monitoring techniques, including proximal crop and soil sensors and remote sensing technologies. The book then goes on to discuss how this information is processed to identify management zones and input targets. Chapters also assesses advances in delivery mechanisms such as variable rate application and targeted spray technologies. The final part of the book surveys the wide range of applications of precision agriculture, from controlled traffic farming to site-specific nutrient and water management.With its distinguished editor and international team of subject experts, this will be a standard reference for crop scientists and agronomists as well as all those concerned with improving the efficiency and sustainability of agriculture.

By using resources more efficiently, precision agriculture (PA) can make agriculture more productive and sustainable.This new edition of Precision agriculture for sustainability provides a comprehensive review of the key components of PA, from information gathering to delivery systems, as well as the wide range of applications from precision tillage and seeding to site-specific irrigation and nutrition. The book also discusses recent developments in precision crop protection and weed management systems and the emergence of new approaches and technologies, including multi-sensor fusion, artificial intelligence and data.
