Описание: "A sparkling debut novel...a bittersweet tale about love, marriage, and the perils of fame." --People

Julia and Joe Ferraro are living the good life in Manhattan now that Joe's finally made it; he's the star of a hit TV show and has just been nominated for a Golden Globe. Even better, Julia and Joe are still madly in love.
Or so Julia thinks until the fateful evening when she accidentally hears a voice mail on Joe's phone--a message left by a woman who is clearly more than a friend. Suddenly Julia is in a tailspin, compulsively checking Joe's messages, stalking him in cyberspace, and showing up unannounced on his sets, wondering all along if she should confront him.

Julia's search forces her to consider the possibility that in the long process of helping Joe become something, she has become a bit of a "nothing," as her daughter once described her to her class on career day. When Julia and Joe first met, she was an edgy East Village girl who wrote music reviews for the Village Voice and threw famed parties in a gritty downtown loft with her friends. But after Joe won her heart, she settled into doting motherhood and a new life of comfy clothes and parenting associations.
Now, faced with the looming awards show and the possibility of a destroyed marriage, Julia embarks on an accelerated self-improvement routine of Botox, hair extensions, and erotically charged shrink sessions while dodging the sancti-mommies who lie in wait for her at her son's preschool each day.
A unique take on the perennially popular issue of women trying not to lose themselves in matrimony and motherhood, Outtakes from a Marriage is expertly and humorously set against the Manhattan preschool mafia, the Hollywood machine, and the ticking clock of a waiting red carpet.
"Sprightly ... you'll keep reading."--Entertainment Weekly
"How does a free spirit turned wife and mother cope with her actor husband's infidelity?...With tears, irreverent humor and, ultimately, a reaffirmed sense of self...A witty take on marital survival in Manhattan--with heart." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Описание: How do you find the best university for the subject you wish to study? You need a guide that evaluates the quality of what is available, giving facts, figures and comparative assessments of universities. Since 1992, "The Times" has produced the most widely respected and used university league tables. The Guide takes the key measures of quality as its focus, so you can make informed choices of university and subjects.

Still unique and still controversial, the rankings provide hard data, analysed, interpreted and presented by a team of experts. The 2007 edition of the best-selling "Good University Guide" has been further extended, now offering: unique league table ranking to Britain's universities, which enables readers to assess strengths and weaknesses of each university; over 60 tables giving the best universities for particular subjects; advice on how to select a course and a university; details of government changes to higher education; guidance on how to apply and pay your way through university; advice on finding and paying for accommodation while you are there; two pages of information on each university; detailed coverage of Oxford and Cambridge colleges; and information specifically designed for international students.
