A Vision Of Courage
An exciting, motivational, and inspirational action romance, A Vision Of Courage is the fast-paced adventure of a young man's struggle to overcome adversity and rise to fulfillment beyond the goal he was seeking, and to find understanding he had not known he was seeking.
The Artifacts
The “smoking gun” of the UFO enigma—physical proof—has, and always will be the criterion for belief in extraterrestrial life. If physical proof were eventually made public, mass hysteria would probably follow, because all we held sacred about our human origins would now be suspect. Secular and theological history, as we know it, would have to be rewritten. This is the premise of my novel: events that could occur should we learn that we are not alone in this universe. The characters are drawn from real people. Places and events come from researched material. Time lines and certain scenes use the author’s personal experiences dealing with the enigma. Credibility comes from my military background, a member/researcher with the National Investigative Committee on Aerial Phenomena, (NICAP), and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). A scene in The Artifacts is based on my personal experience with a military cover-up.
The Fight
Sam Pennington’s life has fallen apart. His father is dead. His mum’s started drinking. And now they’ve been dumped in a dismal public-housing complex in East London. Sam’s anger at his circumstances puts him on the brink of expulsion from school and into dangerous conflict with those around him. Professional boxing trainer Jerry Ambrose has finally gotten everything together. After a turbulent early life, his newfound faith has helped him reconcile with his past and dedicate his life to helping others. But when a brutal street fight leads Sam to Jerry’s boxing club, both their futures are thrown into question. As Jerry reaches out to Sam, an extraordinary fighting talent emerges—a talent that reopens the wounds of Jerry’s own life. Both find themselves battling what can happen to a man’s soul when his anger is channeled through his fists. Despite wowing ringside crowds, Sam’s boxing success fails to bring him peace or happiness, while Jerry’s inner struggles threaten the very core of his beliefs. Can Sam be saved from his rage? Or will Jerry’s reawakened ambition tear them both apart?
Letters from a Son to His Self-Made Father
This 1903 fiction by Charles Eustace Merriman is presented in a series of letters from a son to his wealthy father, who is a self-made merchant. The work begins with a letter where Pierrepont Graham, a new Freshman at Harvard, writes to his father, John, in Chicago, about how he and the University are getting along together and writes more to him giving various interesting accounts of his life. These entertaining letters are full of wit and humor and keep the reader engrossed throughout. Excerpt from the book: "I know you will accuse me of lack of the business promptness which is the red label on your brand of success, but I really couldn't answer your letter before. I have been trying to reconcile your maxims of life with the real thing, and I had to get busy and keep so. Reconciliation has not yet come, leastwise not so as you would notice it."
The Good Priest
Father John is the parish priest of Our Lady of Sorrows in Westonville, but when the ordered tranquillity of his life is shattered by a stranger walking into the confessional on Ash Wednesday, he finds himself on a Lenten journey of increasing dread and horror. And when he is confronted with memories of his historic abuse, John discovers that what he thought to be forgiven and forgotten still lurks deep in his memory. A pattern of murders unveils terrifying associations between the stranger’s appearances, John’s own past, and the murders. Could the stranger be the cardinal who abused him during his time in Rome, and who is rumoured to have died in the 9/11 attacks? Is he a ghost emanatin...

From York Factory to Medicine Hat, Don't Just Read Your History, Go There
In late August of 2013 my Métis husband, Nelson and I had signed up for the Manitoba Historical Fur Trade Tour leaving out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. We had been on a quest to learn more about where his ancestors came from and walk in the places where they had been. This is where we learned about the Hudson Bay Company side of the family and the Homeguard Cree who lived and worked alongside. At York Factory, from high in the cupola of the Depot Building, I saw below the little one-room schoolhouse where Catherine Sinclair, Harriet Ballenden, and Joseph Cook had attended over 200 years before. My husband is a product of that gene pool. Since that trip to Manitoba, I have been on a mission to fin...
From Bovril to Champagne
There was a time, not so long ago, when the FA Cup really mattered. When fans would go to extraordinary lengths to get tickets for Wembley and when the biggest teams of the day saw the FA Cup as a 'must have' rather than a 'nice to have.' The 1970s was, quite simply, a fantastic decade for the most famous domestic competition in the world, a decade in which the wonderful 'David and Goliath' stories which were the very essence of the Cup, at last spread themselves to the final itself. Of course, football fans everywhere know the stories. The famous goals by the likes of Porterfield, Stokes, George, Webb and Osborne. The saves by Montgomery, the misses by Macdonald, the flukes by Greenhoff and...
The Cambridge Handbook of Race and Surveillance
Featuring chapters authored by leading scholars in the fields of criminology, critical race studies, history, and more, The Cambridge Handbook of Race and Surveillance cuts across history and geography to provide a detailed examination of how race and surveillance intersect throughout space and time. The volume reviews surveillance technology from the days of colonial conquest to the digital era, focusing on countries such as the United States, Canada, the UK, South Africa, the Philippines, India, Brazil, and Palestine. Weaving together narratives on how technology and surveillance have developed over time to reinforce racial discrimination, the book delves into the often-overlooked origins of racial surveillance, from skin branding, cranial measurements, and fingerprinting to contemporary manifestations in big data, commercial surveillance, and predictive policing. Lucid, accessible, and expertly researched, this handbook provides a crucial investigation of issues spanning history and at the forefront of contemporary life.
Perspectives on and from Institutional Ethnography
This book explores recent developments in Institutional Ethnography (IE) and offers reflective accounts on how IE is being utilised and understood in social research. IE is a sociological sub-discipline developed by Dorothy E. Smith that seeks to explicate the textual mediation of people’s everyday experiences in their local sites of being.
