Box set containing four films from the popular 'Batman' film
series. 'Batman' (1989) was the first big screen outing for Bob
Kane's caped crusader. The streets of Gotham City are no longer
safe for criminals, who are being picked off by a masked vigilante
in a rubber suit - dubbed 'Batman' by the press. Reporter Alexander
Knox (Robert Wuhl) teams with photographer Vicki Vale (Kim
Basinger) in an attempt to discover Batman's true identity - an
investigation which leads them to the door of mysterious
millioniare Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). Meanwhile, crime boss
Carl Grissom's (Jack Palance) attempt to rid himself of
untrustworthy henchman Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) does not go
according to plan, and after emerging physically - and mentally -
disfigured from a vat of chemicals, Napier reinvents himself as the
psychotic Joker. In 'Batman Returns' (1992), Oswald Cobblepot was
abandoned by his parents as a baby. Thirty three years later, bent
on revenge, he returns to Gotham City as the Penguin (Danny
DeVito). First he begins a warped campaign to become Mayor, helped
by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken); next,
he undertakes a mission to murder every first born son in Gotham -
a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. Meanwhile, he has two
adversaries to contend with: Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), the
embittered ex-secretary of Max Shreck, and, of course, the old
caped crusader himself (Keaton). In 'Batman Forever' (1995), former
District Attorney Harvey Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) is terrorising
Gotham City, when a new villain appears on the scene - the Riddler
(Jim Carrey). Together they plot to discover Batman's (Val Kilmer)
identity, using a device which can probe the human mind. Meanwhile,
the caped crusader has been joined by Robin (Chris O'Donnell),
whose trapeze-artist family have recently been slain by Two-Face.
'Finally, in 'Batman and Robin' (1997), Batman (George Clooney) and
Robin (O'Donnell) have to stop the vengeful Mr Freeze (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) from taking over Gotham City by using his new ice
weapon. To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma
Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost
undefeatable double-whammy of a team. Luckily for the caped
crusader and his rebellious ward, they can team up with a new tough
and courageous new partner - Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).

Parallel Dreams, Janet Scott McDaniel's second book of poetry,
demonstrates her rare gift for weaving rich imagery around the
palpable emotions of human experience in a way that is both
inescapably beautiful and in a writing style that captivates the
reader. Parallel Dreams delves into the human experience giving a
fresh perspective to all aspects of life: love, loss, memory, and
dimensions seen and unseen, mystically offering readers joy, tears,
and inspiration on every page. "Parallel Dreams gives the reader
poems with tight weaves, rich colors, long echoes. Janet's work
resonates on many levels, as she is one of the rare poets who is
expressive and soul-searching, lyrical and eloquent, writing in the
tradition of the Celtic bards. Her work is rich and inspiring,
unique and amazing, and most assuredly...unforgettable." - Chris
Dickerson, novelist, playwright and poet.
Ms. McDaniel's first book of poetry- reflects the wide range of
human emotions: love and loss in all its manifestations, redemption
and discovery, ultimate joy and the depths of introspection. The
reader is invited behind closed doors to witness the passions and
the gut-wrenching spirit of that which is a personal and protected
space. Ms. McDaniel's poems weave a rich tapestry, clear and
eloquent, of life in all its wonder and challenge. Photographs and
background stories make this an even more intimate journey as the
voice of the poet emerges from conflict and struggle stronger than
ever. Many of the pieces, while profoundly moving to any reader,
are particularly empowering to women. Her poems strike the heart
and reach into the soul, charting a unique new path into
contemporary poetry. THE LIGHT leaves us touched by the mastery of
the words and the emotions they invoke.
"Entertaining: Secrets of Perfect Hosts and How They Make Their
Parties the "Talk of the Town"" celebrates the art of planning and
throwing a party without the worries.
This wonderfully put together guide breaks down the party
planning process. These proven techniques and tips will keep you
organized, focused and help all your parties be the "talk of the
town."
Are Quakers Christian? Is it possible for Quakerism to be both
Christian and Universalist? These are just two of the questions
which form the starting point for this book. In exploring them, it
becomes clear that they cannot be answered in isolation for they
are linked to a whole complex of questions about Jesus, God and the
nature of human living. So it becomes necessary to engage in
theology. But for Quakers this must be from a distinctively Quaker
standpoint which seeks to be both undogmatic and concerned with
practical issues. Most of all it must be grounded in our corporate
experience of God. Janet Scott attempts to begin this process. She
explores what we may say about Jesus and about God, sets out one
way in which Quakerism may be both Christian and Universalist, and
points out areas needing further discussion.
Cellulose nanoparticles (CNP) are a class of bio-based nanoscale
materials, which are of interest due to their unique structural
features and properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability,
and renewability. They are promising candidates for applications
including in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, electronics, barrier
films, nanocomposites, membranes, and supercapacitors. New
resources, extraction procedures and treatments are currently under
development to satisfy increasing demands for cost-effective and
sustainable methods of manufacturing new types of cellulose
nanoparticle-based materials on an industrial scale. Cellulose
Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Manufacturing concentrates on advanced
high performance cellulose nanocomposites. Chapters cover the
synthesis of advanced materials, manufacturing, and applications of
cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils. Together with Volume 1,
these books form a useful reference work for graduate students and
researchers in chemistry, materials science, nanoscience and green
nanotechnology.
