Four books and a journal- what we published in January!
January's snow has brought a change of scenery for those of us who have been in lockdown. However, it hasn't stopped UCL Press from publishing four new open access books (including two in the major new education series Knowledge and the Curriculum) and bringing you a new issue of Archaeology International (published by UCL Press for the first time!).
Here's what we published in January:
