DescriptionThis brilliant new sci-fi series charges into action at a headlong pace, deadly serious and wickedly satirical. It features great performances from Claudia Christian ( Babylon 5 's Susan Ivanova) as Detective Annie Manx, an honest cop in a system under siege, and Patricia Tallman ( B5 's Lyta Alexander) as the vicious Lieutenant Richmond. Annie and her boss are marked for death, as they stand between Richmond and a police takeover of the entire sector. But somehow - astoundingly - when Annie gets killed, she doesn't die. Just how many lives does this cat have? Mystery, action, suspense, sex, and razor-sharp humor, all wrapped up in a splendid digital production!
DescriptionLa Cenicienta, "Caperucita Roja", "La Gallina Y El Pollito", "Los Seis Cisnes", "Hansel Y Gretel", "La Cabra Mentirosa", "Los Tres Pelos De Oro", "El Doctor Sabihondo", "Montesinos", "El Rey Cuervo", "Blanca Nieves Y Los 7 Enanitos", "Las Monedas", "La Rana Principe", y "Blanca Nieve Y Rojaflor". Jacobo y Wilhelm Grimm, dos estudiosos alemanes, dedicaron buena parte de su vida a recopilar cuentos y leyendas tradicionales, y esa inmensa coleccion ha sido imitada por muchos otros escritores, y asi dejaron bases para una literatura infantil que, sin embargo, atrae igualmente a los mayores, puesto que los cuentos tienen interes argumental y estan narrados con conocimiento. Algunos de los personajes, como Caperucita, Blanca Nieves y la Cenicienta, son vivos retratos de lo que puede pasar en la vida real. La actriz Laura Garcia relata esos cuentos con el encanto y la ingenuidad que tienen.
DescriptionOf the many remarkable violinist-composers Italy produced during the Baroque era, the most remarkable of all was Antonio Vivaldi. An artist of astonishing vigor and productivity (he wrote more than 450 concertos, 40 operas, and many solo, chamber, and vocal works over the course of his career), Vivaldi was one of the most innovative and influential musicians of his day. His energetic instrumental writing contributed importantly to popularizing the concerto, a fairly new compositional genre during his day, and had a great impact on his musical contemporaries, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach. The Musically Speaking Conductor's Guides are your link to an appreciation of the greatest classical music ever performed. Let Maestro Gerard Schwarz enrich your classical music listening enjoyment by illuminating the great works of the Masters with revealing commentary and educational insight.
DescriptionIf you've ever been there, you've never forgotten. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smell of a junior-high-school locker room. It's the feeling of being undersized or oversized...or klutzy or less than beautiful. Of being a nerd...or a geek or just, somehow, different. It's knowing you are vulnerable - and someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable. It's the fraternity you never wanted to join - the fellowship of the wounded spirit. In Frank Peretti's first nonfiction work, he examines the pain from his past and helps us uncover the scars in our own lives. Drawing from tragic news stories like Columbine, he illustrates how ridicule and rejection can push people beyond the brink. Then, with poignant insight, he shows us the way to heal the wounded spirit that lies within us all.
