<p>This little book is perfect for every family struggling with cancer and explaining it to young children. Told honestly, but gently by adorable cows, children are taken through the standard steps of cancer treatment from hair loss to surgery. Beautiful original watercolor illustrations by noted artist Julie Leiman Weaver bring the cows to life and ease the children through difficult concepts.My perfectly healthy, organic-eating, farm-dwelling daughter-in-law was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 aggressive Cancer. She and my son wanted a book to explain to their 2 and 5 year-old children what would be happening to Mommy. They couldn't find just what they were looking for, so I wrote this story for the little ones.The name "Cows on the Couch" comes from a silly car game I play with the kids to keep them occupied as we travel from the farm to my house so that Mommy can recuperate from chemo.</p>

The collapse of classic Maya civilization at the end of the eighth century A.D. is still an enigma, but the story behind it is likely more than a clash of warring city-states. New research indicates that ecological degradation and nutritional deficiency may be as important to our understanding of Maya cultural processes as deciphering the rise and fall of kings. Reconstructing Ancient Maya Diet integrates recent data from bone-chemistry research, paleopathology, paleobotany, zooarchaeology, and ethnobotany to show what the ancient Maya actually ate at various periods (as opposed to archaeological suppositions) and how it affected the quality of their lives. It is now evident that to feed a burgeoning population the Maya relied on increasingly intensive forms of agriculture. Exploring the relationship between these practices, ecological degradation, and social collapse, this book uses dietary data to investigate the rise of agricultural systems and class structure; the characterization of social relationships along lines of gender and age (i.e., who ate what); and the later effects of the Spanish conquest on diet and extant modes of agriculture. Maya subsistence has been investigated intensively for the past two decades, but this is the first volume that unites work across the spectrum of Maya bioarchaeology.
