Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis star in this comedy
drama directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Henry Altmann (Williams), a
cynical and curmudgeonly Brooklynite, undergoes a drastic
transformation when he is mistakenly told by Dr. Sharon Gill
(Kunis) he only has 90 minutes to live. Desperate to make amends
with the people closest to him before he dies, he leaves the
doctor's surgery frantically and sets off on a path of redemption.
Meanwhile, Sharon, who has realised her mistake but has become
aware of a potentially life-threatening brain aneurysm, tries to
track Henry down to get him into care.

Organophosphorus Chemistry provides a comprehensive annual review
of the literature. Coverage includes phosphines and their
chalcogenides, phosphonium salts, low coordination number
phosphorus compounds, penta- and hexa-coordinated compounds,
tervalent phosphorus acids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, ylides
and related compounds, and phosphazenes. The series will be of
value to research workers in universities, government and
industrial research organisations, whose work involves the use of
organophosphorus compounds. It provides a concise but comprehensive
survey of a vast field of study with a wide variety of
applications, enabling the reader to rapidly keep abreast of the
latest developments in their specialist areas. Specialist
Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage
of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by
experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique
service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical
in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For
over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor,
the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting
developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual
Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no
longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist
Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still
existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes
covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more
general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a
'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the
fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some
titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their
emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a
new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current
list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside
flap of this volume.

Jesus asked the man his name, and he answered, "Legion, for we
are many."--Mark 5:9
A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is
the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A
neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its
victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty
secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent
isolation?
Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all
these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more
murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful
mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a
connection between "these" crimes and another series of murders
that took place twelve years ago--and supposedly ended with the
death of the killer?
"Legion" is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more
than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths
of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human
condition.
The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only
have been written by the author of "The Exorcist"--William Peter
Blatty.
Father Damien Karras: 'Where is Regan?' Regan MacNeil: 'In here.
With us.' The terror begins unobtrusively. Noises in the attic. In
the child's room, an odd smell, the displacement of furniture, an
icy chill. At first, easy explanations are offered. Then
frightening changes begin to appear in eleven-year-old Regan.
Medical tests fail to shed any light on her symptoms, but it is as
if a different personality has invaded her body. Father Damien
Karras, a Jesuit priest, is called in. Is it possible that a
demonic presence has possessed the child? Exorcism seems to be the
only answer... First published in 1971, The Exorcist became a
literary phenomenon and inspired one of the most shocking films
ever made. This edition, polished and expanded by the author,
includes new dialogue, a new character and a chilling new extended
scene, provides an unforgettable reading experience that has lost
none of its power to shock and continues to thrill and terrify new
readers.
