In North London, an all-male bee-hive of inactivity is ruled with a foul mouth and an iron hand by the abusive Max (Paul Rogers) and his brother, the priggish palace eunuch Sam (Cyril Cusack). Rounding out the precision vulgarity of The Homecoming's "situation tragedy" are the sons, punch-drunk demolition man Joey (Terence Rigby) and the magnificent Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings, The Sweet Hereafter) as pimp-smart Lenny. When, under cover of darkness, the prodigal son Teddy (Michael Jayston) brings his wife Ruth (Vivien Merchant) home to meet his family for the first time, he gets far more and less than he bargained for. To Teddy's rueful discomfort, Ruth's Mona Lisa smile forms the gateway to a labyrinth of Freudian dread, venal family values and naked neediness that could only come from the mind of Harold Pinter. Director Sir Peter Hall re-renders his original Royal Shakespeare Company London stage triumph as a bleached, claustrophobic delirium that exploits the jagged tempos and seductive tensions of Pinter's best play as no theater staging could. The New York Times declared the American Film Theatre's production of The Homecoming, "a movie of astonishing dynamism." Indeed, director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) went so far as to say, "I often find myself seeking solace from this film. It's poetry and twisted sense of compassion and humor have assuaged many moments of despair and confusion. Other people have religion, I have my copy of The Homecoming." Minimize

Director Mike Nichols's THE GRADUATE is the satirical coming-of-age comedy that became an emotional touchstone for an entire generation. In the mid-1960s, Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a confused college graduate, is pulled in myriad directions by family, friends, and associates just days after receiving his degree. Seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), an older friend of the family, Ben carries on an affair with the married woman even as he falls for her daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross). However, Ben and Elaine's attempts at romance are threatened by the spiteful rage of Mrs. Robinson, who proceeds to hastily arrange Elaine's marriage to someone else, leading up to one of the most memorable endings in cinema history. With its striking photography and clever editing, THE GRADUATE established Nichols as a major director. The film also made a star out of young Hoffman, who gives an understated portrayal of the perplexed Ben--the actor's first role in a Hollywood film, which he almost didn't get because he wasn't Waspy enough. Outstanding performances by the rest of the cast are highlighted by Bancroft's sexy, embittered turn as Mrs. Robinson and Ross's endearing presence as the gorgeous yet innocent Elaine. The film's impact on popular culture is immeasurable: "Plastics" will live on eternally as depressing but solid career advice, and older women will never eye younger men without fear of becoming a "Mrs. Robinson." Buck Henry (who appears briefly in the film) cowrote the influential screenplay, based on the novel by Charles Webb, and the soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel remains a movie classic. Minimize

Understanding Construction Drawings, 3E is a comprehensive textbook on print reading for all members of the construction industry. The content is organized into 4 sections, with each section referencing a set of drawings (blueprints) for a different building. Beginning with a simple residential building, the buildings become more complex as the student progresses through the book, with the last building being an addition to a high school. Realism and replication of conditions the student will find on the job is an important theme in this book. The drawings packaged with the book are real prints from real projects printed the same size as real world drawings. Unlike other print reading textbooks, Understanding Construction Drawings requires the student to cross reference information between drawings. After completing this textbook a student will be comfortable with finding information in different parts of a drawing set and using those pieces to understand the whole. Each unit ends with Review Questions that require the student to apply the knowledge they gained through study and apply it to the prints in the drawing package. A separate Instructor's Guide contains the answers to all of the review questions and section tests in the textbook and an additional test for each section. Minimize

Our puzzle shows different phases in the construction of a bridge from planning to completion. There´s always a lot of activity on a construction site. The construction of a bridge is particularly exciting because a solid path or road is made "in the air", so to speak. Bridges are not only built over rivers; they often span deep valleys or railway lines or serve as a short-cut from one place to another. This item is puzzled not only side by side but also on top of each other. That means the puzzle is arranged in tiers whereas each layer is marked by a stair. This puzzle is an explanation in pictures and trains especially the cognition of context as well as the ability to associate and combine. Minimize

Applying Construction Mathematics to Residential Material EstimatingThis book was written to assist carpentry instructors and general contractor's in understanding common construction mathematical calculations. Although measuring devices and calculators are common, quick, and easy to use, they can limit your thinking abilities.

After working for months to install a water reclamation pipe, the whole crew is tired and anxious to get home to the maintenance yard. When Lazy Larry forgets to tie him down to a trailer, Terry has a wild ride and falls off onto a country road, at night with a dark Florida forest surrounding him.

The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in the small town of Concordia, Tennessee-a town consisting of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware store, one beauty parlor, one barber shop, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches. That didn't stop Aaron Bronson, a Russian immigrant, from moving his young family out of New York by horse and wagon and journeying to this remote corner of the South to open a small dry goods store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store. Never mind that he was greeted with "Danged if I ever heard tell of a Jew storekeeper afore." Never mind that all the townspeople were suspicious of any strangers. Never mind that the Klan actively discouraged the presence of outsiders. Aaron Bronson bravely established a business and proved in the process that his family could make a home, and a life, anywhere. With great fondness and a fine dry wit, Stella Suberman tells the story of her family in an account that Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, described as "a gem...Vividly told and captivating in its humanity." Now available for the first time in paperback, here is the book that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said was "forthright. . . . not a revisionist history of Jewish life in the small-town South but . . . written within the context of the 1920s, making it valuable history as well as a moving family story."
