From an obscure, misty archipelago on the fringes of the Roman world to history's largest empire and originator of the world's mongrel, magpie language - this is Britain's past. But, today, Britain is experiencing an acute trauma of identity, pulled simultaneously towards its European, Atlantic and wider heritages. To understand the dislocation and collapse, we must look back: to Britain's evolution, achievements, complexities and tensions. In a ground-breaking new take on British identity, historian and barrister Dominic Selwood explores over 950,000 years of British history by examining 50 documents that tell the story of what makes Britain unique. Some of these documents are well-known. Most are not. Each reveal something important about Britain and its people. From Anglo-Saxon poetry, medieval folk music and the first Valentine's Day letter to the origin of computer code, Hitler's kill list of prominent Britons, the Sex Pistols' graphic art and the Brexit referendum ballot paper, Anatomy of a Nation reveals a Britain we have never seen before. People are at the heart of the story: a female charioteer queen from Wetwang, a plague surviving graffiti artist, a drunken Bible translator, outlandish Restoration rakehells, canting criminals, the eccentric fathers of modern typography and the bankers who caused the finance crisis. Selwood vividly blends human stories with the selected 50 documents to bring out the startling variety and complexity of Britain's achievements and failures in a fresh and incisive insight into the British psyche. This is history the way it is supposed to be told: a captivating and entertaining account of the people that built Britain.

The delightful tale of a wandering good samaritan dog, by the author of Shrek! Dominic has decided it is time for a change. So he packs up his hats and his piccolo, and sets off into the unknown. But no sooner does he feel the air on his snout and the grass beneath his paws, than disaster strikes: he encounters the dreaded Doomsday Gang. But Dominic is not one to complain - and nor is he one to lose a fight. As legend of his victory over the villains spreads, more and more creatures turn to him for help: a 158-year-old turtle, a heartbroken wild boar, and a family of grateful geese all encounter Dominic's heroism and generosity. But his trials are far from over: the Doomsday Gang is alive and kicking, and how can one young dog face a mob of hooligans alone?

As multisited research has become mainstream in anthropology, collaboration has gained new relevance and traction as a critical infrastructure of both fieldwork and theory, enabling more ambitious research designs, forms of communication, and analysis. Collaborative Anthropology Today is the outcome of a 2017 workshop held at the Center for Ethnography, University of California, Irvine. This book is the latest in a trilogy that includes Fieldwork Is Not What It Used to Be and Theory Can Be More Than It Used to Be. Dominic Boyer and George E. Marcus assemble several notable ventures in collaborative anthropology and put them in dialogue with one another as a way of exploring the recent surge of interest in creating new kinds of ethnographic and theoretical partnerships, especially in the domains of art, media, and information. Contributors highlight projects in which collaboration has generated new possibilities of expression and conceptualizations of anthropological research, as well as prototypes that may be of use to others contemplating their own experimental collaborative ventures.

But meeting a handsome stranger on the beach on the heels of her divorce, she can't ignore the passion he sparks. When Lauren learns her mystery man is rock superstar Noah Devereux, she’s convinced it’ll never last. But one night together turns into more and Lauren resists falling for a man who’s touched her heart in a way she never thought possible. Humiliated by his supermodel ex’s infidelity, Noah questions the worth of his fame and fortune if all it earns him are hollow relationships and betrayal.

Will Noah convince Lauren to believe in happily ever after or will their affair end in more heartbreak? Golden Sand Money can't buy what this billionaire desires most... Computer tycoon Dominic Russell has more money than he ever imagined, but he’s missing something that money can’t buy. When he meets Eden Bell, he’s intrigued by the down-on-her-luck waitress. A relentless competitor, Dominic sets his sights on winning her heart. Fiercely independent Eden Bell doesn’t believe in true love. She’s been burned before, and while Dominic’s attention is flattering, she doesn’t expect the committed bachelor to fall for her and her ready-made family. The charming entrepreneur proves hard to resist, and the two embark on a relationship that could change them both forever. But Eden’s been hiding a life-changing secret from Dominic, and if it comes to light, the truth could tear them apart. Midnight Sand One hot night and now she's carrying his baby... Sought-after bachelor Ethan Davenport has been in love only once—and when it ended in disaster, he swore to never let it happen again. The black sheep of his family, he does things his own way—alone. But a one-night stand opens his eyes to the woman who’s been there for him all along. Scarred from the past, Faith Bishop won’t ever tell Ethan how she feels about him. She tells herself they’re just friends…until one night changes everything. When she becomes pregnant with the billionaire’s baby, she can’t hold back her hopes for a real future with Ethan. Faith’s used to making it on her own, and she doesn’t know if she can trust Ethan to give her the family she’s never had. But Ethan won’t lose his friend and his baby in his life. He’ll do anything to prove to Faith that he’s changed…and she’s the reason why.

Even her intense attraction to celebrity chef William Blackwell, who’s spending the summer in Ocean Sands, can’t change her mind. She has other things to keep her busy, like saving the floundering restaurant where she works, and consequently securing the promotion that’s been dangled in front of her. William says he can respect Stacy’s boundaries. In Ocean Sands recovering after a battle of his own, he’s under strict orders to rest and recover. Spending a few weeks helping an old friend is just the distraction he needs. No drama is a good thing, and his finger-snap attraction to Stacy should burn itself out any day now… While working shoulder to shoulder, Stacy begins to fall for the handsome chef with Southern charm, and getting a second chance at love starts to feel irresistible...
