Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
The second volume of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves is devoted
to the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its
authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated
in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves. The subject
is an extremely fertile and active one, both within the
mathematical community and at the interface with the theoretical
physics community. The approach is unique in its blending of
algebro-geometric, complex analytic and topological/combinatorial
methods. It treats important topics such as Teichm ller theory, the
cellular decomposition of moduli and its consequences and the
Witten conjecture. The careful and comprehensive presentation of
the material is of value to students who wish to learn the subject
and to experts as a reference source.
The first volume appeared 1985 as vol. 267 of the same
series.
In recent years there has been enormous activity in the theory of
algebraic curves. Many long-standing problems have been solved
using the general techniques developed in algebraic geometry during
the 1950's and 1960's. Additionally, unexpected and deep
connections between algebraic curves and differential equations
have been uncovered, and these in turn shed light on other
classical problems in curve theory. It seems fair to say that the
theory of algebraic curves looks completely different now from how
it appeared 15 years ago; in particular, our current state of
knowledge repre sents a significant advance beyond the legacy left
by the classical geometers such as Noether, Castelnuovo, Enriques,
and Severi. These books give a presentation of one of the central
areas of this recent activity; namely, the study of linear series
on both a fixed curve (Volume I) and on a variable curve (Volume
II). Our goal is to give a comprehensive and self-contained account
of the extrinsic geometry of algebraic curves, which in our opinion
constitutes the main geometric core of the recent advances in curve
theory. Along the way we shall, of course, discuss appli cations of
the theory of linear series to a number of classical topics (e.g.,
the geometry of the Riemann theta divisor) as well as to some of
the current research (e.g., the Kodaira dimension of the moduli
space of curves)."

This classic text, first published in 1972, has withstood the test
of time as a teaching aid for English-speaking singers, teachers,
coaches, and accompanists, in order that their art may be more
communicative to the public. These word-by-word translations of
songs and arias allow the artist to properly interpret and express
the feelings and emotions that the words require at the proper
time.
