This comprehensively revised - essentially rewritten - new edition
of the 1990 edition (described as "extremely useful" by
MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS and as "understandable and comprehensive" by
Scitech) guides readers through the dense array of mathematical
information in the International Tables Volume A. Thus, most
scientists seeking to understand a crystal structure publication
can do this from this book without necessarily having to consult
the International Tables themselves. This remains the only book
aimed at non-crystallographers devoted to teaching them about
crystallographic space groups.

Screen version of the popular Broadway musical. In
pre-Revolutionary Ukraine, Jewish fiddler Tevye (Topol) plans to
marry off his three daughters. However, none of the girls chooses
what their father considers to be a suitable partner. Meanwhile,
the Russian Czar and Cossacks begin a campaign of intimidation
against Tevye's village. Songs include 'If I Were a Rich Man' and
'Sunrise, Sunset'.
Michele Glazer's poems take on questions of being and value,
exploring not just "what" is, but "how" it is. The poems trouble
borders--between self and other, old and young, sick and well,
stranger and intimate; between physical states in processes of
decay; and between line and phrase, sentence and interruption,
prose and poem, resisting the desire for something irrefutable with
an abiding skepticism. The poems are drawn to missteps in
perception and in language, those fractures that promise to crack
open a surface to yield some other, greater meaning: "What is
looked at is changed / what is looked for is gone." From this
collision of passion and severity come poems that are strange and
darkly beautiful.
"A Time for Love, A Time for Friendship" is a cautionary tale that
was unintentionally written by a civilian from Queens, NY, who
survived the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 in downtown
Manhattan, and tells the story of how the emotional turmoil left in
its wake destroyed his life, how he lost the love of his life, how
he was betrayed by his childhood friend, how he fought for justice,
and how he is working to get his life back by trying to,
intentionally, become a writer.

Kevin Bacon stars in this sporting underdogs comedy as a high
school assistant basketball coach Jimmy Dolan intent on recruiting
Saleh, a towering genius of a player, who, unfortunately, is also
an African Prince who believes his responsibilty lies with his
Winabi tribe. As the existing coach is retiring Jimmy is vying for
promotion against another assistant, and he needs to get the best
team. So Jimmy sets out to convince Saleh that his true destiny
lies with basketball. However when he arrives in Africa, Jimmy
discovers that the Winabi have acrimonious relations with the
neighbouring tribe and it appears that the only way to settle all
differences is with a basketball match.
Perhaps the archetypal 1970's American cop show, Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) are plainclothes cops patrolling the streets of an unnamed city--portrayed by Los Angeles--in a 1973 red Grand Torino. Dark-haired Starsky, who has an unflagging appetite and a quick quip for any situation, and tall, blonde, heart-throb Hutch, who is more soulful and serious, are not just partners on the job--they are also close friends. But their unorthodox methods are endlessly frustrating for their boss, Captain Dobey (Bernie Hamilton).
The duo has a powerful ally on the street, however, in the police informant Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas), a shady character who provides Starsky and Hutch with plenty of inside information. Full of tyre-screeching chases, shoot-outs, running and jumping up and down fire escapes and across busy roads, STARSKY AND HUTCH has plenty of street-wise action and humour. Contains series 1 to 4 of STARKSY AND HUTCH.
IN "Aggregate of Disturbances, Michele Glazer confronts the
slipperiness of language and perception as she probes natural
processes--the lives of insects, the uncertainty of love, and the
deaths of human beings. Nature's beauty interests Glazer less than
the fact that it is chaotic, amoral, redundant, charming, and
indifferent to human concern--qualities that are, in these poems,
turned into another kind of beauty. "The stalk was knocked flat
& the allium's great lavender sphere / kissed the dirt & in
the aftermath the pendulous blossomed / tip bobbed like a wand
madly attempting to enchant-enchant-enchant. // I wanted to believe
that it happened to amuse me." These taut lyrical poems negotiate
between desire for something irrefutable and an uneasy bedrock of
paradox. In the interstices, "Aggregate of Disturbances breaks open
language and experience to offer a glimpse of "the eye on the other
side."
