Published when she was only twenty-three and written while she was a student at Brown, Sleepwalking marks the beginning of Meg Wolitzer’s acclaimed career. Filled with her usual wisdom, compassion and insight, Sleepwalking tells the story of the three notorious “death girls,” so called on the Swarthmore campus because they dress in black and are each absorbed in the work and suicide of a different poet: Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Wolitzer’s creation Lucy Asher, a gifted writer who drowned herself at twenty-four. At night the death girls gather in a candlelit room to read their heroines’ work aloud. But an affair with Julian, an upperclassman, pushes sensitive , struggling Claire Danziger—she of the Lucy Asher obsession-–to consider to what degree her “death girl” identity is really who she is. As she grapples with her feelings for Julian, her own understanding of herself and her past begins to shift uncomfortably and even disturbingly. Finally, Claire takes drastic measures to confront the facts about herself that she has been avoiding for years.

    First developed in 1959, it focuses on four key areas: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. "Evaluating Training Programs" provides a comprehensive guide to Kirkpatrick's four-level model, along with detailed case studies that show how the approach is used successfully in a wide range of programs and institutions. The third edition revises and updates existing material and includes new strategies for managing change effectively.

    Spanning the period from the 1950s to the 1970s, a time when English society was changing with disconcerting speed, the characters are first seen as students at Cambridge, before the story moves on to follow their progress and varying fortunes in the larger world of the media and academe.For Adam Morris, of the quicksilver tongue, the concentration camps of which he has only heard of and the social life of England, which he has experienced, combine to give him a scorching skepticism. Unable to accept without suspicion what life offers, he develops a sharp ambivalence that allows him both to enjoy the fruits of a successful screenwriting career and also to retain the self-critical detachment of a novelist.For the other colourful and powerfully realised characters, success, money and satisfaction come in varying degrees. Over all of them the golden Cambridge era, with its smart badinage, its exploratory sex and its uncertain friendships, throws a light - or a shadow - from which none, perhaps, can ever quite escape.The subject of a highly-acclaimed 1976 television series starring TomConti, The Glittering Prizes is a witty, incisive and moving saga of an era and a generation. This new edition will be widely welcomed.
