Altair-4 is a planet populated only by the scientist Morbeus
(Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis) and a droid, Robby
the Robot. Morbeus' obsession with discovering the secrets of the
underground cities of Krel and its long-dead inhabitants have led
him to kill his fellow explorers. However, his research is once
again threatened with the arrival of another expedition, whose
leader (Leslie Nielson) is not deterred by Morbeus' efforts to keep
him away from either his adopted home or his daughter. This sci-fi
reworking of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' gained an Oscar nomination
for its special effects and has since accrued cult status.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection
reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a
vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal
field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William
Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as
almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the
day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from
