May Fools (Full Frame)
In this outlandishly funny tale, it's all greedy hands for themselves as scrounging, back stabbing relatives fight tooth and nail over prized family heirlooms. Renowned French filmmaker Louis Malle and writer Jean-Claude Carriere create a "lively and beautifully acted" (Newsweek) comedy that shows it doesn't always pay to inherit a fortune! Like vultures to an open smorgasbord, the eccentric members of the Vieutac clan descend upon the Grand Dame's beautiful southern estate after her death to claim what is rightfully theirs.

The Great Wall at Sea: China's Navy Enters the 21st Century by Bernard D. Cole, ISBN 1557502390
With the world's largest population, largest army, and fastest growing economy, China is now building a large modern navy to assure its status as Asia's predominant power. Yet the West is sorely limited in its knowledge of what could become its greatest naval opponent. This major new study -- the first in more than fifteen years -- provides the specialist and general reader alike with timely, authoritative information about China's developing navy and its quest for power. The author, a professor at the National War College, first looks at China's two-thousand-year-old maritime tradition and then examines China's extensive territorial claims at sea, following up with a path-blazing description of the nation's increasing dependence on energy sources mined from the ocean floor.
The main focus of the book is a detailed examination of China's navy, its organization and its submarines, ships, and airplanes that form the heart of the sea-going force. The book also takes into account the officers...
