The Car (DVD)


$14.84


James Brolin stars as Sheriff Wade Parent, a man who must stop a large, black 2-door sedan from terrorizing a small New Mexican town. No one knows the car`s origin, who is driving it, or how to stop it. After it kills three people, the Sheriff must find a way to stop this seemingly indestructible machine. Who is behind the wheel? Could it be…Satan? That may be the case given that late Church of Satan leader Anton LaVey was given a `Technical Advisor` credit on the film! Though it was greeted by a chorus of jeers when it surfaced in 1977, THE CAR is an oddly gripping and altogether unconventional horror film. From the director of A MAN CALLED HORSE and a script co-written by Michael Butler, writer of PALE RIDER.

Michael Beard, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, find himself in a middle-age morass, his fifth marriage in shambles, his career stalled, his reputation ruined by an ill-advised comment about the chemistry of the female brain, and his paunch unmistakably moving down and out from his body. Unlikely as it seems, Beard might also be the only person who can save the planet–if his artificial photosynthesis can halt the inexorable march of global warming. Booker-winner Ian McEwan`s rollicking and hilarious SOLAR marks a drastic shift in tone from his previous few novels (ON CHESIL BEACH, SATURDAY, ATONEMENT). SOLAR`s protagonist is a wonderfully conceived mess of a human, half brilliant half buffoon, a man who continually makes pledges towards progress even as he slouches towards disaster–in short, Beard is a perfect representation of modern civilization`s great promises and pitfalls. Written with characteristic panache, and drawing in part on his own skirmishes with the media, McEwan`s SOLAR might be one of the most important and intelligent novels about climate change ever written–and is almost certainly the funniest.

Here, for the first time, tech journalist Bob Johnstone tells the inspiring and optimistic story of how determined activists and enlightened visionaries in Germany developed a surprisingly simple and innovative policy mechanism that is now driving the solar boom. Switching to Solar explains why Germany leads the world in harnessing clean energy from the sun, and what valuable, cost-effective, and environmentally beneficial lessons we all can derive from this success.

The literary event of the summer: a new novel from Ian McEwan, as surprising as it is masterful. Michael Beard is a Nobel prize¿winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions, and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. While he coasts along in his professional life, Michael¿s personal life is another matter entirely. His fifth marriage is crumbling under the weight of his infidelities. But this time the tables are turned: His wife is having an affair, and Michael realizes he is still in love with her. When Michael¿s personal and professional lives begin to intersect in unexpected ways, an opportunity presents itself in the guise of an invitation to travel to New Mexico. Here is a chance for him to extricate himself from his marital problems, reinvigorate his career, and very possibly save the world from environmental disaster. Can a man who has made a mess of his life clean up the messes of humanity? A complex novel that brilliantly traces the arc of one man¿s ambitions and self-deceptions, Solar is a startling, witty, and stylish new work from one of the world¿s great writers.

Solar Thermal and Biomasses (Hardcover)


Solar Thermal and Biomasses (Hardcover)


$165.38


This book covers renewable energy sources. In particular, it reviews the state of the art in thermal solar techniques and biomasses.The first topic treated is solar radiation. Then the authors discuss the possible utilisation of solar energy through thermal solar techniques, starting with low-temperature techniques and moving on successively to medium- and high-temperature ones. This discussion includes, of course, expanations of those devices and materials employed in using those technologies. The last part of the book covers biomasses. Starting with the definition of this wide-ranging field, the authors successively treat how to obtain energy from biomasses and all the environmental aspects linked to this topic.Very few books treat so diffusely the state of the art in thermal solar technologies, especially in biomasses, a topic in which there is a bit of confusion due to the very wide range of related technologies.

Car Wash (DVD)


Car Wash (DVD)


$8.78


Director Michael Schultz follows up his critically acclaimed and commercially successful COOLEY HIGH with this hilarious day-in-the-life tale set in modern day Los Angeles. At Sully Boyar's car wash, a juvenile, motley crew of city dwellers work their fingers to the bone waiting on the eccentric and sometimes haughty clientele. Throughout the day, the young men find time to indulge in personal pursuits: one fellow fantasizes about the pretty waitress working at a local restaurant, a militant preaches politics, while more disgruntled workers find a way to justify their laziness. As the day wears on, the many levels of oppression that control each individual's lives gradually become apparent. Luckily, Schultz and screenwriter Joel Schumacher don't dwell on the potentially depressing aspects of their subject matter; proving that sometimes laughter is the best medicine, they stuff their film with enough verbal, visual, and situational humor to keep the audience laughing throughout. This can also be attributed to the performances by the all-star ensemble of performers, including Franklin Ajaye, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Duke, and Garrett Morris. Cementing the deal is the film's soundtrack, which features the soulful music of diva Rose Royce.Directors: Carl SchultzActors: Richard Pryor , Franklin Ajaye , George Carlin , Sully Boyar , Richard Brestoff , Irwin Corey , Ivan Dixon , Bill Duke , Antonio Fargas , Michael Fennell , Arthur French , Lorraine Gary , Darrow Igus , Leonard Jackson , DeWayne Jessie , Lauren Jones , Jack Kehoe , Henry Kingi , Melanie Mayron , Garrett MorrisFormat: DVDGenre: ComedyRating: PGUPC: 025192274725

Our energy system faces a fundamental transformation and renewable energies will play a dominant role in the future energy supply. One of the promising solutions is the use of solar thermal energy in buildings, for cooling, heating and domestic hot water preparation. Solar thermal systems for providing heat and cold to industrial processes show a high potential, too. In the last decade, the application of solar driven cooling systems achieved a significant progress. Steps forward have been taken in the design of system concepts to specific needs and in more reliable and efficient operation of the installed plants. New systems are available on the market and cover a broad range of cooling capacities and driving temperatures. This handbook provides an overview on the various solutions to convert solar heat into useful cooling, reports about experiences made with realized installations and gives support in the design process. Its use will strongly contribute to achieve high quality solar cooling systems which provide significant energy savings and fulfil the user`s requirements in a safe and reliable way.
