From the world-renowned agony aunts of award-winning podcast 'Dear Joan and Jericha' comes an unputdownable bible of sex and relationship advice on how to find, satisfy and maintain a husband, from dating right up until you or hubby pass away. We dedicate this tome to Mahmoud: surgeon, prophet, model and friend.

As much revered celebrities, living glamorous and wealthy lifestyles, we do of course come under fire. There has recently been vicious slander circulating, regarding a small handful of ...
There are 200 types of arthritis which affects 1 in 5 adults in the UK, and one in four of all GP consultations in the UK relates to a musculoskeletal problem. Arthritis and related conditions are the second most common cause of days off work, while just over 70% of people with arthritis meet the legal definition of disabled. The total cost of arthritis in the UK to the NHS and social services is ?5.5 billion. These statistics mean that there is tremendous interest in complementary methods of treating arthritis. This book is a thorough exploration of supplements that might help, based on the clinical experience of the Margaret Hills Clinic for arthritis. It explains why current conventional medical treatments so often fail in the light of the underlying nutritional imbalances which may be contributing factors to arthritis development. It examines the usefulness of protein supplements, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, enzyme therapy, herbal pain relief, natural supplements, and nutritional solutions. It looks at how to start building your own nutritional programme, and where to go for further help.

It would be easy to envy Julia Davies. After all, she's smart, pretty and oh-so sexy. Kids love her. Dogs love her. Men certainly love her. But she isn't perfect. She's impulsive and stubborn and sometimes lacking in good judgment in the boyfriend department. In fact, it is the need to flee an abusive relationship that is the catalyst for her taking a job as a nanny to Alex Sutherland's kids in faraway Halifax. Alex Sutherland comes with baggage of his own. The death of his gorgeous wife has taken a toll on his two little boys, leaving them fragile and needy. Alex is over-worked and desperate to find the perfect nanny for his kids. What he doesn't need at this point in his life is a romantic entanglement. Take these two strong but wounded people, add cute kids, angry in-laws and a threat from the past and you've got a recipe for laughter, danger and love.

This book provides an evaluation and appreciation of the learning, teaching and instruction that can occur in digital environments. Mass media accounts of digital culture are invariably predicated on a technologically determinist vision, on the one hand promoting a utopian view of the future while on the other fueling moral panic by emphasizing views of alienation and danger in life online. In this book, children, young people and those who work with them are revealed as active agents with possibilities to navigate new paths.
This book brings together an international group of literacy studies scholars who have investigated mobile literacies in a variety of educational settings. Approaching mobility from diverse theoretical perspectives, the book makes a significant contribution to how mobile literacies, and tablets in particular, are being conceptualised in literacy research. The book focuses on tablets, and particularly the iPad, as a prime example of mobile literacies, setting this within the broader context of literacy and mobility. The book provides inspiration and direction for future research in mobile literacies, based upon 16 chapters that investigate the relationship between tablets and literacy in diverse ways. Together they address the complex and multiple forces associated with the distribution of the technologies themselves and the texts they mediate, and consider how apps, adults and children work together as iPads enter the mesh of practices and material arrangements that constitute the institutional setting.
