It is an auspicious start: Evans looks better than ever in a sexy, shoulder-revealing top and denim Capris, with pale blue pumps. Meanwhile, the schlep who cheated on her is a total mess. He lives in a dark trailer illuminated only by the television screen, eating microwavable meals and drinking spoiled milk. Since their break, he has been reduced to dating a frightening, stocky bowling alley employee and stealing beer ineptly...

Lush hopes the book will help others see cleaning crises the way she does: as puzzles. "It's basic chemistry," she says. "The building blocks of everything around you are pretty...

A colleague had mistakenly taken them to a site they'd never visited before, a nondescript-looking claypan lost among the pale dunes in the Willandra Lakes region of far western New South Wales. Luckily, Webb thought it would still make good practice fieldwork for his Aboriginal students after a week of classes in the nearby town of Mildura.
