Collection of four films starring Johnny Depp. In 'The Astronaut's Wife' (1999), on a seemingly routine mission to repair a space satellite, astronaut Spencer Armacost (Depp) loses contact with Mission Control for a period of time. Once Spencer has returned to Earth his wife Jillian (Charlize Theron) falls pregnant with twin boys, but her joy is tempered by the suspicion that something terrible happened to her husband in space - something which could threaten the entire human race. In 'Dark Shadows' (2012), when playboy Barnabas Collins (Depp) breaks the heart of the beautiful Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green), an old family curse is released as Angelique, a witch, turns Barnabas into a vampire before burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. Returning to his former home at Collinwood Manor, he finds his estate in ruins and the dysfunctional dregs of his family in tatters. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has enlisted the services of live-in psychiatrist Dr Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) to help with her numerous family problems - but between Elizabeth's loser brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), her rebellious teenage daughter, Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Moretz), and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath), Dr Hoffman has certainly got her work cut out. 'Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' (2007), Tim Burton's film version of the Stephen Sondheim musical, is based on a 'penny dreadful' tale (which later became an urban myth) from the mid-19th Century. The story centres around Benjamin Barker (Depp), a barber who returns to London after spending years in exile for a crime he didn't commit. He soon discovers from pie-maker Mrs Lovett (Bonham Carter) that, in his absence, his wife has taken her own life and his daughter is now in the care of the man who had him sent away - the dastardly Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman). Seeking revenge and filled with a murderous rage, Barker sets up a barber's shop above Mrs Lovett's premises. Now calling himself Sweeney Todd, Barker kills off all his customers with a razor to the throat and sends their cadavers to the shop below to be used as a tasty new filling for Mrs Lovett's meat pies. What was once the worst pie shop in London quickly becomes one of the city's most popular eateries, but Barker won't be satisfied until he can lure Judge Turpin into the barber's chair... In 'Don Juan DeMarco' (1994) Marlon Brando plays a psychiatrist whose last case, that of Don Juan (Depp), is his most difficult. Don Juan is the world's greatest lover, having seduced over 1000 women, and his amorous tales totally captivate the analyst, re-awakening passions which he thought had been lost forever.

In den vergangenen Jahren lieferte die Materialwissenschaft die Voraussetzung f}r stark verbesserte oder ganz neue fertigungstechnische und Gebrauchseigenschaften in allen Werkstoffgruppen. Heute findet - angeregt durch vielerlei |ffentliche Er|rterungen - die Frage Beachtung: Was geschieht mit all den Werkstoffen, wenn sie ihren Dienst in den Produkten der Technik oder als Verpackung erf}llt haben? Dieses Buch behandelt die verschiedenen damit in Zusammenhang stehenden Themen. Dazu liefert die Materialwissenschaft Grundlagen }ber Struktur und Eigenschaften aller Werkstoffe. Diese Eigenschaften sollten heute imRahmen vollst{ndiger Kreisl{ufe beurteilt werden. Diese umfassen "recycling-gerechte" Fertigungs- und Konstruktionsmethoden, und am Ende die vier Optionen f}r die Aufbereitung ausgedienter Werkstoffe. Dazu kommt schonheute die Entwicklung besonders recyclingfreundlicher Werkstoffe. Allerdings steht die wissenschaftliche Durchdringung dieses Gebietes ganz am Anfang. Eine Besch{ftigung damit erscheint aber um so lohnender. Anregungen dazu gibt dieses Buch!
