Dark History of the Kings & Queens of England
A highly-illustrated, entertaining account of English royal history from 1066 to the present that explores the scandals behind each royal dynasty, from the ‘accidental’ murder of William II to American divorcée Meghan Markle, highlighting the individuals honoured with the crown of England—and those unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

Since William the Conqueror seized the crown in 1066, England has seen three civil wars; six monarchs have been murdered or executed; the throne of England has been usurped four times, and won in battle three times; and personal scandals and royal family quarrels abound.

Freedom's Song
Freedom's Song: A Tale of the Pilgrims and the First Amendment By: Antoinette J. Kuhry Utilizing a Greek Chorus speaking poetry in the great tradition of Shakespeare, who was writing and performing during the period of “Freedom’s Song,” Antoinette J. Kuhry puts her historical characters, speaking sometimes in their own words, and the details of their journey into dialogue and action. The result is a courageous call for liberty. As the Chorus says: “Pilgrims formed a steadfast breath, of brave new right to age-old wrong, with freedom, freedom, freedom’s song.” The California Mayflower Society presented “Freedom’s Song” on stage in November 2019.

China’s Impact on the African Renaissance
This book provides the first comprehensive academic study of what China's trade with, and investment in, African countries mean for the socio-economic well-being of the continent. Based on the African Tree of Organic Growth Framework developed in the book, Jonker and Robinson outline the factors necessary in realizing Africa's Renaissance vision and the impact that the Chinese might have on this process. Using the metaphor of the Baobab tree, the authors analyze the historical, cultural and economic contexts within African countries, the channels available to produce development and growth, and the fruits or social and economic well-being created by this integrated process. The book takes readers on a journey of numerous African examples and case studies, describing and analyzing the challenges and complexities of countries in their desire to achieve organic, cultural, scientific and economic renewal, and the improvement of the well-being of their citizens. This book will be of great value to economists, people who wish to do business in Africa, China-watchers, those who are following the development and growth of Africa, and more.
