This wacky 1970s time capsule is notable for its format, themes, and no-holds-barred parodies of network television--news reports, commercials, and sitcoms. THE GROOVE TUBE probably takes a cue from British comedy troupes like Monty Python. A raunchy precursor to films like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, as well as television sketch comedy from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE to THE KIDS IN THE HALL, THE GROOVE TUBE is also notable for early appearances from Chevy Chase and Richard Belzer.
The Groove Tube's real attractions are its acute observations of the details of television, and its capturing of the zeitgeist to perfection.

One Step Beyond - 8 DVD Boxed Set (DVD)
Host John Newland directed each episode of the supernaturally-themed, classic television program ONE STEP BEYOND. First airing in 1959, ONE STEP BEYOND dramatized purportedly true stories of eerie, supernatural events, and was amongst the first television shows to both investigate mysterious occurrences (such as the later programs IN SEARCH OF and UNSOLVED MYSTERIES) as well as take a tone of horror and suspense (like the more well-known TWILIGHT ZONE and THE OUTER LIMITS). ONE STEP BEYOND - 8 DVD SET contains 33 episodes of the classic series.

Plasma Physics Via Computer Simulaition
Divided into three parts, Plasma Physics via Computer Simulation guides readers to an understanding of the basic concepts in this fascinating field. Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of simulation. It examines one-dimensional electrostatic and electromagnetic codes, describes numerical methods and analysis, and introduces projects. Part 2 studies the mathematics and physics behind the algorithms used in Part 1, and Part 3 addresses some more complicated simulations. This established text provides an unrivalled introduction to the subject with its combination of theory and practical projects. It will prove an ideal complement to plasma physics courses and equally useful for self-study.

Statistical Plasma Physics
Plasma physics is an integral part of statistical physics, complete with its own basic theories. Designed as a two-volume set, Statistical Plasma Physics
is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses on plasma and statistical physics, and as such, its presentation is self-contained and should be read without difficulty by those with backgrounds in classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and statistics. Major topics include: plasma phenomena in nature, kinetic equations, plasmas and dielectric media, electromagnetic properties of Vlasov plasmas in thermodynamic equilibria, transient processes, and instabilities. Statistical Plasma Physics, Volume I: Basic Principles
, treats subjects in the field of condensed plasma physics, with applications to condensed matter physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
