Written specifically with the student in mind and focusing on a number of well-known texts, including Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Nicholas Nickleby, Nice Work and The Color Purple, the contributions in this book demonstrate how we can look critically at literary adaptations and learn to distinguish between mythical images and the reality of the process that constructed them. They argue that adaptations should not be seen as secondary or marginal, because through them we can enter into an exciting debate with the literary text itself. Originally published in 1993.

Consulting for Real People: a client centred approach for leaders and change agents 2/e shows you how to become truly client-centred by empowering your client and supporting them right through to the point where the new behaviour replaces the old. Formerly titled '||'''Client-Centred Consulting: A practical guide for internal advisers and trainers'||''' this highly successful book has been fully updated to reflect advances in the field. The scope of the book has also been expanded to include issues, dilemmas and the operational styles of both internal and external change agents. Other new topics covered include change management issues for leaders, managing large-scale organisational changes, and ways in which change agents can empower themselves and their clients. The book begins with an exploration of all aspects of change management from the perspective of consultant, manager or team leader. It goes on to explore the range of consulting styles available and the structure of the consultant-client relationship. Finally it explains why successful change agents must have a high level of personal power and self-esteem and it explores ways in which these can be acquired.

Learning from a workshop is quicker and has more lasting effect than any other practical exercise. Dramatic Events shows you how to stimulate workshop participants, through a series of exercises and examples, to release their energy, to free their bodies and their voices, to listen, to think, to be creative, to engage in focussed exchanges with other people, to take risks and to watch others and learn. Whether you are an experienced or novice workshop leader, working in theatre, teaching or training in education or business, Dramatic Events will be an invaluable source book to read and to use.

"This is the book we all know and love by Marlo Thomas and her friends"--brought to new life with brand new illustrations to captivate and inspire a new generation of readers on a journey of the heart. Whether you are opening "Free to Be . . . You and Me" for the first time or the one hundredth time you will be engaged and transformed by this newly beautifully illustrated compilation of inspirational stories, songs, and poems. The sentiments of thirty-five years ago are as relevant today as when this book was published. Celebrating individuality and challenging stereotypes empowers both children and adults with the freedom to be who they want to be and to have compassion and empathy for others who may be different. Working closely with Marlo and co-creator Carole Hart, Peter H. Reynolds, the "New York Times" Best Selling Children's Book Author/Illustrator, conjured his whimsical drawings throughout the book bringing a new sense of unity and warmth to the pages. You will find yourself "marveling" at the illustrations, nodding in agreement with the stories and poems, and "singing" the words to all the classic songs! It is wonderful that the thoughts, ideas, and emotions the creators envisioned so many years ago can still have a magical effect on children today.
