Serving Elizabeth
Serving Elizabeth begins in Kenya in 1952, during the fateful royal visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Mercy, a restaurant owner, is approached to cook for the royal couple. Though she could use the money, she is a staunch anti-monarchist. She vows to stick to her principles, but her daughter, Faith, keeps trying to convince her to take the job. In London in 2015, in the production offices of a series about Queen Elizabeth, a Kenyan-Canadian film student, Tia, serves as an intern on the project. It's a perfect fit for her as she has been a fan of princesses her whole life. But when she reads the Kenya episode, she starts to understand that fairy tales and real life are very different things. Serving Elizabeth is a funny, fresh, and topical play about colonialism, monarchy, and who is serving whom -- or what.

Phenomena of Origins
"Captivating from the start, 'Phenomena of Origins' brings the reader into the creative mind;we suddenly see the world through the eyes of an artist. An exceptional account of personal, yet universal experiences, artistic vision and unapologetic sparks of humor.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
Whatever happened to the gifts of the Magi? This book traces them from their point of origin through the thirty-three years of Jesus' life, each ultimately becoming an integral part of the crucifixion. Many Biblical characters are utilized including the Magi, Lazarus, Mary of Bethany, Nicodemus, the Rich Young Ruler, Herod, Archelaus, Martha, Pilate and others. The Bible provides the overall outline and the use of Biblical truth gives validity to the fictional account. Because the plot is supported by Biblical passages and so intricately woven, a reader will almost be convinced the resolution is what really happened to the gifts although it is fiction. Some readers might read this book for its mystery; others out of mere curiosity; some for its poetic symbolic foreshadowing; and others for its Biblical background, but it is my fond hope that all readers will be intrigued enough to study the Bible, for within it they shall discover marvelous stories beyond imagination! And while this story is fiction, those are not!
Overcoming America's Unfair Housing Acts
Across the globe and particularly in America, basic democratic tenets supposedly stand on principles of fairness and equity, but almost everything we've done and are doing rejects that these ideals are important to us. Instead, we consciously or subconsciously embrace a predilection and desire for preferential treatment for preferred people. Nowhere is our support of preference starker than in the way "racial haves" sustain their mistreatment of the "racial have-nots." It occurs in every facet of American life and is evident across the globe. This book examines a single area of our culture: housing in the US which operates against the backdrop of unrelenting segregation policies and practices in all facets of the industry. So vitriolic is the housing industry against people of color, particularly African Americans, that even sweeping legislation like the Fair Housing Act itself could not stamp out the offensive systemic actions within the housing industry. Acknowledging the depths of prejudice supported by centuries of falsehoods and malevolence, the author calls for transformational change in American culture to reach racial balance in housing and concomitant industries.

The Oxford Handbook of Metamemory
The Oxford Handbook of Metamemory investigates the human ability to evaluate and control learning and information retrieval processes. Each chapter in this authoritative guide highlights a different facet of metamemory research, including classical metamemory judgments; applications of metamemory research to the classroom and courtroom; and cutting-edge perspectives on continuing debates and theory. Chapters also provide broad historical overviews of each research area and discussions of promising directions for future research. The breadth and depth of coverage on offer in this Handbook make it ideal for seminars on metamemory or metacognition. It would also be a valuable supplement for advanced courses on cognitive psychology, of use especially to graduate students and more seasoned researchers who are interested in exploring metamemory for the first time.
