Time capsules have been used for thousands of years to store for posterity a selection of objects thought to be representative of life at a particular time. Such vessels have the dual purpose of causing participants to ponder their own cultural era and think about those to come. This work is a cultural history of five thousand years of time capsules and other related time-information transfer experiences. It examines both the formal and the popular culture aspects of the time capsule, from its roots in ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian building foundation deposits to the present utilization of spacecraft probes and other extreme locations. The deposits of 3000 BCE deliberately had no definite date and time to be opened; in 1876 CE came the idea of target-dated deposits. Also discussed are how "real" time capsules work, notional and archaeological time capsules, the height of the time capsule's popularity from 1935 to 1982, the preservation of writings in time capsules, keeping time in a perpetual futurescape, and turn of the century hype surrounding millennium time capsules.

Mawby Green and Ed Feilbert Adapted from Double Jeu by Robert Thomas Full Length, Comedy Characters: 5 male, 2 female Interior Set Monique is married to a gambling wastrel. When she refuses to pay his debts, he leaves for France to raise money from an estate. Meanwhile, his brother is released from prison and turns up to see his fiancee, Monique's maid. They scheme to have brother impersonate wastrel so that Monique can get a divorce, but the wastrel returns at the very hour the lawyer is due. Monique tries to drug her husband but imbibes the potion herself. Fighting for a gun, the wastrel is killed. When Monique comes to and the police appear, they think she is loco: there is no body, the maid is now a nurse, and the lawyer a psychiatrist. Is Monique insane and will they do her in to get her money? No, Monique is really a secret agent sent to trap the wastrel in his fifth widowhood. This time the law catches wastrel, lawyer and maid combined.

Artists have always been recyclers. This gallery of work made from repurposed materials is both a visual delight and "a source of ideas for crafters" (Library Journal). Artists and crafters have always been recyclers at heart, but in recent decades, it's become not only a thrifty choice but a moral imperative for many. 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse contains a cutting-edge collection of the most inventive work being made with reused, upcycled, and already existing materials. Exciting and inspiring, the work in this book ranges from clever and humble personal accessories to unique and important large-scale works of art, including paper art, fashion, jewelry, housewares, interiors, and installations.
