Fatal Females
In Fatal Females, investigative psychologist and former police profiler Micki Pistorius examines the minds and motives of women who kill. Throughout history the view seems to have prevailed that it is not in women's nature to commit violent crime, but Pistorius shows that this is not in fact the case. Women, givers of life, are indeed capable of ruthlessly taking life. She examines more than fifty documented cases of South African female killers, categorised according to the nature of the crime - for example, infanticide, spree killings, stalkers, poisoners - and she presents her new hypothesis to explain the psychology of that rare individual, the female serial killer.

Our Mayflower Ancestors and Their Descendants
Lydia Ann Beebe (1844-1922) was born in Evans, New York to William Albert Beebe (1813-1884) and Louisa Newton (1817-1886). She was a direct descendant of Eilizabeth Tilley (1607-1687) and John Howland (1592-1673) who were members of the Mayflower Company. Lydia's family joined the LDS Church and eventaully settled in Utah where Lydia was married in 1860 to William Jasper Howell (1842-1880) who was born in Yorkville, Tennessee. Shortly after their wedding they moved to Franklin, Idaho to help settle that region. They were the parents of twelve children. Their many descendants live in Idaho, Utah, California and other parts of the United States.
Decolonizing Research
From Oceania to North America, indigenous peoples have created storytelling traditions of incredible depth and diversity. The term 'indigenous storywork' has come to encompass the sheer breadth of ways in which indigenous storytelling serves as a historical record, as a form of teaching and learning, and as an expression of indigenous culture and identity. But such traditions have too often been relegated to the realm of myth and legend, recorded as fragmented distortions, or erased altogether. Decolonizing Research brings together indigenous researchers and activists from Canada, Australia and New Zealand to assert the unique value of indigenous storywork as a focus of research, and to develop methodologies that rectify the colonial attitudes inherent in much past and current scholarship. By bringing together their own indigenous perspectives, and by treating indigenous storywork on its own terms, the contributors illuminate valuable new avenues for research, and show how such reworked scholarship can contribute to the movement for indigenous rights and self-determination.
