    What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
    After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
    But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
    For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
    Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.

    Everyone occasionally experiences natural anger emotions. It’s a typical response to feeling insecure or frustrated and can take different forms, from mild annoyance to outright aggression. In some circumstances, it is advantageous because it gives people motivation and energy to solve problems. 
    Not controlling anger can harm relationships, work performance, and general health and well-being. For parents, controlling their anger can be particularly challenging. They must deal with their emotions and navigate their children’s emotional terrain. 
    Children are constantly learning and developing, frequently testing limits and pushing boundaries. So, it’s natural for parents to become frustrated and angry, but it’s critical to model healthy emotional management for our children. 
    Anger management isn’t about completely suppressing or eliminating your anger. It is about learning to recognize and manage your anger healthily so it does not spiral out of control and harm you or those around you. This book offers methods and tactics to succeed in your anger management journey

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.
