Boxset of seven films featuring the characters created by Jim
Henson. 'Muppets Most Wanted' (2014) is a musical comedy sequel
starring Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell. While on a
European tour Kermit the Frog (voiced by Steve Whitmire) is
mistaken for a Russian jewel thief called Constantine (voiced by
Matt Vogel), to whom he bears a striking resemblance, and is thrown
in jail by prison officer Nadya (Fey). Seeing an opportunity for a
new life Constantine poses as Kermit and joins the rest of the
Muppets on their tour. 'The Muppets' (2011) stars Jason Segel as
the human brother of Muppet Walter (voiced by Peter Linz) who
Walter approaches for help in raising ten million dollars to save
the vaudeville house where the Muppets used to perform. Amy Adams
also stars. In 'The Muppets Movie' (1979) Kermit (voiced by Jim
Henson) leaves behind his swamp and heads for the big lights of
Hollywood to fulfil his dream of becoming a star. Along the way he
becomes involved with the dazzling Miss Piggy (voiced by Franz Oz),
the charming Fozzie Bear (also voiced by Franz Oz) and Gonzo the
Great (voiced by Dave Goelz), encountering such celebrities as
Orson Welles, Steve Martin and Bob Hope. In 'The Great Muppet
Caper' (1981) the Muppets travel to London to investigate the
disappearance of Lady Holiday's jewels, Miss Piggy (voiced by Frank
Oz) is framed for the theft. 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992) is
the Muppet's version of Charles Dickens' immortal festive tale
about a bitter old man who is shown the error of his ways. 'Muppet
Treasure Island' (1996) sees the Muppets go on an adventure on the
high seas in their version of the famous pirate adventure. Tim
Curry stars as Long John Silver alongside Gonzo (voiced by Dave
Goelz), Kermit (voiced by Steve Whitmire) and Miss Piggy (voiced by
Frank Oz). 'The Muppet's Wizard of Oz' (2005) is a contemporary
version of the classic movie based on the novel by L. Frank Baum.
Dorothy Gale (Ashanti) is a teenager with dreams of showbiz that
seem far from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she
lives. When she's transported to the magical land of Oz, she and
her sidekick, Toto (voiced by Bill Barretta), join forces with the
Scarecrow (Kermit the Frog - voiced by Steve Whitmire), the Tin
Thing (Gonzo - voiced by Dave Goelz) and the Lion (Fozzie Bear -
voiced by Erik Jacobson) to fight the Wicked Witch of the West
(Miss Piggy - voiced by Erik Jacobson) and find the wizard who can
make her a star.
This book is a collection of 55 case studies intended for a graduate level educational psychology course. The cases are broken down into ten units. At the end of each case study there is a set of discussion questions that both stimulate discourse around the important issues in Educational Psychology and bring to light the practical implications/applications of each study. This includes: _ _ *classroom management *child development *moral development *peer groups *troubled teenagers *troubled young adults* *poverty *homelessness *theorists and theories.
J. Frank Adams was one of the world's leading topologists. He
solved a number of celebrated problems in algebraic topology, a
subject in which he initiated many of the most active areas of
research. He wrote a large number of papers during the period
1955-1988, and they are characterised by elegant writing and depth
of thought. Few of them have been superseded by later work. This
selection, in two volumes, brings together all his major research
contributions. They are organised by subject matter rather than in
strict chronological order. The first contains papers on: the cobar
construction, the Adams spectral sequence, higher-order cohomology
operations, and the Hopf invariant one problem; applications of
K-theory; generalised homology and cohomology theories. The second
volume is mainly concerned with Adams' contributions to:
characteristic classes and calculations in K-theory; modules over
the Steenrod algebra and their Ext groups; finite H-spaces and
compact Lie groups; maps between classifying spaces of compact
groups. Every serious student or practitioner of algebraic topology
will want to own a copy of these two volumes both as a historical
record and as a source of continued reference.

The theory of infinite loop spaces has been the center of much
recent activity in algebraic topology. Frank Adams surveys this
extensive work for researchers and students. Among the major topics
covered are generalized cohomology theories and spectra;
infinite-loop space machines in the sense of Boadman-Vogt, May, and
Segal; localization and group completion; the transfer; the Adams
conjecture and several proofs of it; and the recent theories of
Adams and Priddy and of Madsen, Snaith, and Tornehave.

This volume offers a systematic treatment of certain basic parts of
algebraic geometry, presented from the analytic and algebraic
points of view. The notes focus on comparison theorems between the
algebraic, analytic, and continuous categories. Contents include:
1.1 sheaf theory, ringed spaces; 1.2 local structure of analytic
and algebraic sets; 1.3 Pn 2.1 sheaves of modules; 2.2 vector
bundles; 2.3 sheaf cohomology and computations on Pn; 3.1 maximum
principle and Schwarz lemma on analytic spaces; 3.2 Siegel's
theorem; 3.3 Chow's theorem; 4.1 GAGA; 5.1 line bundles, divisors,
and maps to Pn; 5.2 Grassmanians and vector bundles; 5.3 Chern
classes and curvature; 5.4 analytic cocycles; 6.1 K-theory and Bott
periodicity; 6.2 K-theory as a generalized cohomology theory; 7.1
the Chern character and obstruction theory; 7.2 the
Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence; 7.3 K-theory on algebraic
varieties; 8.1 Stein manifold theory; 8.2 holomorphic vector
bundles on polydisks; 9.1 concluding remarks; bibliography.
Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
