Download or read book Sleepwalking written by Meg Wolitzer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debut novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Interestings and The Female Persuasion, a story of three college students’ shared fascination with poetry and death, and how one of them must face difficult truths in order to leave her obsession behind. 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.
Book Synopsis Sleepwalking Through History by : Haynes Johnson
Download or read book Sleepwalking Through History written by Haynes Johnson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2003 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National bestseller: In this brilliantly readable book, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist chronicles the Reagan decade, when America fell from dominant world power to struggling debtor nation and when optimism turned to foreboding. In human terms and living case histories, Haynes Johnson captures the drama and tragedy of an era nurtured by greed and a morality that found virtue in not getting caught."It is morning again in America," Reagan's campaign commercials told us, and for too long we embraced that convenient lie. Indeed, the problems that came to plague us in that decade are with us even more today, as Johnson memorably demonstrates in--his afterword, "Notes on an Era," written especially for this new paperback reissue. This book will remain a signature work of political analysis for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frightening but necessary assessment of the threat posed by nuclear weapons in the twenty-first century, edited by the world's leading antinuclear activist With the world's attention focused on climate change and terrorism, we are in danger of taking our eyes off the nuclear threat. But rising tensions between Russia and NATO, proxy wars erupting in Syria and Ukraine, a nuclear-armed Pakistan, and stockpiles of aging weapons unsecured around the globe make a nuclear attack or a terrorist attack on a nuclear facility arguably the biggest threat facing humanity. In Sleepwalking to Armageddon, pioneering antinuclear activist Helen Caldicott assembles the world's leading nuclear scientists and thought leaders to assess the political and scientific dimensions of the threat of nuclear war today. Chapters address the size and distribution of the current global nuclear arsenal, the history and politics of nuclear weapons, the culture of modern-day weapons labs, the militarization of space, and the dangers of combining artificial intelligence with nuclear weaponry, as well as a status report on enriched uranium and a shocking analysis of spending on nuclear weapons over the years. The book ends with a devastating description of what a nuclear attack on Manhattan would look like, followed by an overview of contemporary antinuclear activism. Both essential and terrifying, this book is sure to become the new bible of the antinuclear movement—to wake us from our complacency and urge us to action.

Book Synopsis 'Sleepwalking to segregation'? by : Nissa Finney
Download or read book 'Sleepwalking to segregation'? written by Nissa Finney and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of renewed debates about diversity and cohesion, this book interrogates contemporary claims about race and migration. It demonstrates that many of the claims are myths, presenting evidence in support of and in opposition to them in an accessible yet academically rigorous manner. The book combines an easy-to-read overview of the subject with innovative new research. It tackles head-on questions about levels of immigration, the contribution of immigrants, minority self-segregation, ghettoisation and the future diversity of the population. The authors argue that the myths of race and migration are the real threat to an integrated society and recommend that focus should return to problems of inequality and prejudice.
Book Synopsis Sleepwalking Through Life by : Sheryl Hill, CHt, CAHA
Download or read book Sleepwalking Through Life written by Sheryl Hill, CHt, CAHA and published by Sheryl Hill, CHt. This book was released on 2019-08-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypersuggestibility, also known as somnambulism in the hypnosis community, is a condition resulting from developmental childhood trauma. Sheryl Hill had spent her entire life feeling less than adequate. As a young African American girl growing up in Seattle in the 1960’s, her self esteem and self image was conceived during the racism of the civil rights movement. As she grew from a child to a teenager into adulthood, Hill noticed that she would often drift off into her own dreamworld, not remembering what she had been doing for hours at a time. Either becoming hyper focused on a task, or wandering from room to room accomplishing nothing. She would often lose important documents, tickets and jewelry and have no earthly idea where she might have left them. She was not able to stay awake in movies, at concerts, or while riding in a car. Hill began to feel overwhelmed and over burdened by her own life, which often lead to excessive drinking and eating in order to cope. Over the years she developed several unusual fears and phobias. Antidepressants and antianxiety medications did not work. It was not until she began to practice hypnosis, that she began to unravel the mystery of what had been happening to her all these years. She was a somnambulist! In a perpetual, low grade and often medium-to-deep state of spontaneous hypnosis and needed to be de-hypnotised in order to regain conscious and alert awareness. This book is part autobiography, laced with current science and amusing and informative client studies, offering persons with the same affliction a ray of hope into what is happening with them. It is written for both clinicians and their clients/patients and it explains how we have come to be hypersuggestible
Book Synopsis Sleepwalking to Surrender by : Khaled Ahmed
Download or read book Sleepwalking to Surrender written by Khaled Ahmed and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pakistan is still on the brink of becoming a failed state as a consequence of its decades-old practice of using proxy warriors in the region. Because of the weakening of the writ of the state, neither governance nor the economy can function normally; in fact, some say the two strong entities in today’s Pakistan are the Taliban and the army. Non-state actors, and the extremist terror outfits they control, pursue extortion, kidnapping and murder to fund their activities, and receive ideological, financial and logistical support from the deep state. The army continues to use them in its India-centric agenda. Civilian institutions are intimidated and individuals who speak out against the terror outfits become targets of their retribution. Violence, not law, increasingly commands human conduct, and the state’s willingness to enter into ‘peace talks’ with the Taliban is viewed as a form of surrender to extremism. Khaled Ahmed is Pakistan’s most respected columnist, and his formidable expertise on the ideologies of extremism is internationally acknowledged. In Sleepwalking to Surrender, he analyses the terrible toll terrorism has taken on Pakistan and appraises the portents for the future.
Book Synopsis Sleepwalking to the Cliff Edge? A Wake-up Call for Global Climate Action by : Mr. Simon Black
Download or read book Sleepwalking to the Cliff Edge? A Wake-up Call for Global Climate Action written by Mr. Simon Black and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urgent action to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is needed now. Early next year, all countries will set new emissions targets for 2035 while revising their 2030 targets. Global GHGs must be cut by 25 and 50 percent below 2019 levels by 2030 to limit global warming to 2°C and 1.5°C respectively. But current targets would only cut emissions by 12 percent, meaning global ambition needs to be doubled to quadrupled. Further delay will lead to an ‘emissions cliff edge’, implying implausible cuts in GHGs and putting put 1.5°C beyond reach. This Note provides IMF staff’s annual assessment of global climate mitigation policy. It illustrates options for equitably aligning country targets with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals. It also provides guidance on modelling needed to set emissions targets and quantify climate mitigation policy impacts.
