The crew of the Starship Enterprise come out of retirement when
Earth is threatened by a massive energy field. Captain Kirk
(William Shatner), now an Admiral, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Bones
(DeForest Kelley), and the rest of the television regulars are all
on board for what proved to be the first of a series of movie
adventures.
Fifth big screen outing for the crew of the starship Enterprise.
Kirk (William Shatner, who also directs and co-scripts), McCoy and
Spock's shore leave is cut short when the latter's half-brother -
Vulcan renegade Sybok - takes several important ambassadors hostage
on the planet Nimbus. They race to the rescue, unaware that the
kidnap is all part of Sybok's ploy to hijack the Enterprise and set
out on a quest to discover the Supreme Being - God.
If one can "see" the wind and "feel" the swell at the sight of a
painting, it's probably a painting of Johannes Holst (1880- 1965).
Over seven decades Holst has created more than two thousand
paintings that are admired and collected all over the world. This
new magnificent volume gathers more than 1,500 paintings of
Johannes Holst. The text section outlines Holst's oeuvre as well as
the ups and downs of his life, supplemented by top-class guest
contributions.
For their fourth big-screen outing the crew of the USS Enterprise
abandon their usual 23rd century time frame for Earth in the year
1986. In order to save the planet from a rogue space probe in the
future, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Bones
(DeForest Kelley) and co must travel back to the twentieth century
to find the only creature capable of communicating with it: a
whale. The story is given comic treatment - Spock hides his Vulcan
ears with a headband and poses as a burnt-out hippy, while the
normally intrepid Kirk gets lost on a bus.
Four of the big-screen 'Star Trek' spin-offs featuring the crew of
'The Next Generation'. In 'Generations' (1994), Captain James T
Kirk (William Shatner) reluctantly comes out of retirement to
attend the launch of the 'Enterprise B'. When the ship attempts to
rescue two cargo ships trapped in a strange electrical field, part
of its structure is shorn away - taking Kirk with it. 78 years
later, 'Enterprise D' captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is
mourning the deaths of his brother and nephew when he is called to
investigate an attack on the Amagosa Observatory. The culprits turn
out to be Picard's old adversaries, renegade Klingons Lursa and
B'Etor, allied with sinister El Aurian scientist Dr Soran (Malcolm
McDowell). Soran was amongst those rescued by the 'Enterprise B',
and is now desperate to return to the energy field - called the
Nexus - which claimed Kirk's life. When Picard himself enters the
Nexus, a historic encounter results. In 'First Contact' (1996),
Captain Jean-Luc Picard, once assimilated by the alien Borg, now
senses that they are about to return. He is proved correct when the
Collective engages the Enterprise E in battle, only to escape
through a temporal vortex into the Earth's past. Picard and his
crew glimpse an alternative Earth which is dominated by the Borg
and, in an attempt to find out how the Borg have altered the
timeline, follow them back to the year 2063, one day before Zefram
Cochran (James Cromwell) made the first warp drive journey. It was
this event that attracted the attention of some passing Vulcans and
established Earth's 'first contact' with alien life. While Riker
(Jonathan Frakes) leads an away team to prevent the Borg from
tampering with the Earth's history, Picard must repel a Borg
invasion of the Enterprise. In 'Insurrection' (1998), a Federation
team are unobtrusively observing life on the remarkable world of
Ba'ku, where 600 peaceful inhabitants enjoy the planet's
youth-preserving qualities. However, forces within the alliance
want to repatriate the population so that the planet's resources
can be exploited more intensively. Captain Jean-Luc Picard leads
his crew in an effort to protect Ba'ku's residents and thereby
honour the Federation's Prime Directive: non-intervention in the
development of other civilisations. 'Nemesis' (2002) is the tenth
instalment in the 'Star Trek' film series. When Picard and the crew
discover a disassembled prototype of their android colleague Data
(Brent Spiner) on a distant planet, they take the parts back to the
Enterprise and attempt to put them back together. Meanwhile, news
arrives that the new Romulan leader Shinzon (Tom Hardy) wants to
restore relations with the United Federation of Planets and Picard
is sent to negotiate. When Picard arrives, he uncovers a shocking
truth about Shinzon's connection to himself, and unearths a
sinister plot to destroy the Earth.
The Starship Enterprise is sent to escort the Klingon chancellor to
peace negotiations with the Federation. When the chancellor is
assassinated, the Klingons refuse to continue negotiations unless
Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Dr McCoy (De Forrest Kelley) are
tried for the chancellor's murder in a Klingon court. Kirk and
McCoy are sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony, leaving
Spock in charge of the Enterprise and the only one who can solve
the riddle of the murder.
Medizin mu?te eigentlich nicht Heilkunde, sondern Unheilkunde
genannt werden: die Kunst, mit dem Unheilsein umzugehen. Immer mehr
sind wir gefordert, mit dem Unheil in Beziehung zu treten und es so
zu wenden, dass neue Beziehungen entstehen: zum Krebspatienten
ebenso wie zu seinen Angehoerigen, zum Gesundheitssystem und im
Team der Gesundheitsberufe untereinander. Autoren
unterschiedlichster Berufsgruppen vermitteln die Zugangsweisen in
leicht verstandlicher Sprache. Neben Patienten kommen namhafte
Krebsspezialisten, Psychotherapeuten und Ethiker zu Wort, ebenso
wie Vertreter von Selbsthilfegruppen und des Pflegepersonals. Die
Zukunft der Krebsbehandlung muss eine Integrierte Beziehungsmedizin
sein, die Konzepte aus naturwissenschaftlicher Medizin mit denen
der Sozialmedizin und Psychosomatik zusammenfuhrt. Die dafur
noetige Information findet sich in diesem Handbuch ebenso wie
Anleitungen zur Foerderung der individuellen Lebensqualitat der
Betreuer. Der Serviceteil der zweiten Auflage wurde aktualisiert.
Don't yell at Norman Walters. He doesn't deal well with conflict. A
psychotic breakdown follows during which his mind invents bizarre
nightmare worlds with real villains and real victims. Evil abounds
and requires vanquishing. Toward that end, Norman becomes Raver, a
superhero with a caveat: his powers change from one twisted reality
to another to closely mirror but never exceed those of his enemies.
If Raver should fail in these grotesque new worlds, Norman Walters
wouldn't get to return to the old warm and fuzzy one. This title
includes a new, original Raver tale.

Sci-fi thriller starring Richard Hatch as Dr Eric Norris, an

tragic past. His life is changed, however, when his DNA is fused
with a parasite of extraterrestrial nature causing him to give
birth to a half-alien, half human offspring. He is now torn between
scientific reasoning and his own emotions. Can he keep his 'son'
from the government or will the public insist his 'freak' be
annihilated?
