A remake of the 1937 classic, this time as a musical about a Hollywood couple going through bad times.
Would-be singer Esther Blodgett (Judy Garland) finds herself taken under the wing of fading star Norman Maine (James Mason) when she saves him from making a drunken fool of himself on stage. Changing her name to Vicki Lester, Esther becomes a star, and is soon married to Norman.
However, as Vicki's star rises, so Norman's falls. Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin songs include 'The Man That Got Away'.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Revolution in France looks at the turbulent times that shook France
at the end of the 18th century and at the rise and fall of Napoleon
and his empire. From the basic social inequalities of the time,
through the events of the revolution itself, to the career of
Napoleon Bonaparte, the story of the age is brought to life through
an imaginative and wonderfully diverse array of sources. Finally,
pupils are reminded that, despite the eventual fall of Napoleonic
France, the legacy of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era
is still with us.
In this third edition of Vehicle Accident Analysis &
Reconstruction Methods, Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach have
expanded and updated their essential work for professionals in the
field of accident reconstruction. Most accidents can be
reconstructed effectively using of calculations and investigative
and experimental data: the authors present the latest scientific,
engineering, and mathematical reconstruction methods, providing a
firm scientific foundation for practitioners. Accidents that cannot
be reconstructed using the methods in this book are rare. In recent
decades, the field of crash reconstruction has been transformed
through the use of technology. The advent of event data records
(EDRs) on vehicles signaled the era of modern crash reconstruction,
which utilizes the same physical evidence that was previously
available as well as electronic data that are measured/captured
before, during, and after the collision. There is increased demand
for more professional and accurate reconstruction as more crash
data is available from vehicle sensors. The third edition of this
essential work includes a new chapter on the use of EDRs as well as
examples using EDR data in accident reconstruction. Early chapters
feature foundational material that is necessary for the
understanding of vehicle collisions and vehicle motion; later
chapters present applications of the methods and include example
reconstructions. As a result, Vehicle Accident Analysis &
Reconstruction Methods remains the definitive resource in accident
reconstruction.

Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) is aghast when he
stumbles upon a plot by war criminal Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck)
to produce clones of Adolf Hitler using cells taken from the late
dictator's body. It is Mengele's intention to reproduce Hitler not
only genetically but in terms of his upbringing, as the boys
created from the cells are to grow up in environments as close as
possible to the Fuhrer's.
