God, Are You Serious?

A Quest from Hollow to Healed

By: Kay Jemison

This is not your average, or even ordinary, collection of stories. Most young adults dream of the day when they are freed from the nest to take on the world and finally be independent! But for Kay Jemison, did this come at too high a price? A rollercoaster ride is typical but Kay didn't bargain on a never ending coaster of lies, bank robbery, attempted murder, and abusive relationships! Often stopping to ask God why her deck of cards was always stacked against her, she found herself wavering on getting to know Him. But something wouldn't let her give up on God or life, despite each negative experience. Her ambition led her to an encounter with God, hoping to get answers to her unanswered questions. Kay discovered that out of an overdeveloped sense of personal obligation she often repeated mistakes that risked her life, despite the danger signs. Enemies were camouflaged as friends; friends lacked commitment and integrity. Characters grew increasingly bizarre. God chose Kay, having His hand on her life, long before she even knew He existed. This story's heart is about perseverance and ambition for one's destiny while developing a relationship with God.

The Boundaries of the Firm

Critiques, Strategies and Policies

By: Neil M. Kay

What is the nature of the firm? Why do firms adopt certain strategies in preference to others? What are the competitive implications of large firm mergers and alliances for government policy? These are extremely important and highly topical questions which tend to be treated separately in most contemporary analysis. However, in this new book based on his original research, Neil Kay shows how these questions are closely inter-related and explores the implications this has for the formulation of corporate strategy and public policy.

Fort Niagara

The British Occupation 1759–1796

By: Patricia Kay Scott,William Edward Utley

Fort Niagara is located at the northern mouth of the Niagara River about twelve miles from Niagara Falls. This scenic river and world-famous tourist area, which is now shared by the United States and Canada, was Iroquois territory in the 18th century being fought over by France and England. Fort Niagara: The British Occupation 1759–1796 dramatically portrays how the British Army took Fort Niagara from the French and Indians in 1759 and held it for thirty-seven years while Indian, French, British, and American warriors and diplomates vied for control of the Niagara River and its portage route into the Great Lake. If the men who garrisoned Fort Niagara joined up to “see the world,” they probably didn’t anticipate being stationed at this isolated frontier post. It is doubtful that few, if any, of the thousands who served at Fort Niagara recalled their time there as the best part of their military life, even as one British officer wrote home that it wasn’t as bad as he had expected. Some died at the fort, in raids out of the fort, or by accidents in the icy cold and volatile waters of the Great Lakes. Others, thinking they were on their way home for a welcomed leave, were unexpectedly rerouted to Boston in 1775 and fought in the battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and other famous battles of the Revolution. This second book about Fort Niagara by Patricia Kay Scott and William E. Utley carries on the history presented in Fort Niagara, the Key to the Indian Oceans and the French Movement to Dominate North America, published in 2019.

A Curse upon the Nation

Race, Freedom, and Extermination in America and the Atlantic World

A Curse upon the Nation

Race, Freedom, and Extermination in America and the Atlantic World

By: Kay Wright Lewis

From the inception of slavery as a pillar of the Atlantic World economy, both Europeans and Africans feared their mass extermination by the other in a race war. In the United States, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart the aims of Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy. And yet, says Lewis, the historiography of slavery is all but silent on extermination as a category of analysis. Moreover, little of the existing sparse scholarship interrogates the black perspective on extermination. A Curse upon the Nation addresses both of these issues. To explain how this belief in an impending race war shaped eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American politics, culture, and commerce, Lewis examines a wide range of texts including letters, newspapers, pamphlets, travel accounts, slave narratives, government documents, and abolitionist tracts. She foregrounds her readings in the long record of exterminatory warfare in Europe and its colonies, placing lopsided reprisals against African slave revolts—or even rumors of revolts—in a continuum with past brutal incursions against the Irish, Scots, Native Americans, and other groups out of favor with the empire. Lewis also shows how extermination became entwined with ideas about race and freedom from early in the process of enslavement, making survival an important form of resistance for African peoples in America. For African Americans, enslaved and free, the potential for one-sided violence was always present and deeply traumatic. This groundbreaking study reevaluates how extermination shaped black understanding of the Atlantic slave trade and the political, social, and economic worlds in which it thrived.

ArtMaking

Using Picture Books and Art to Read Our World

By: Michelle Kay Compton,Robin Chappele Thompson

From the award-winning authors of StoryMaking and Makerspaces comes ArtMaking. ArtMaking is a process of making meaning by reading children’s books, investigating how this meaning is expressed and then inviting the child to use art to communicate their own meaning. It is the perfect language to give all children a voice, regardless of age or ability. In ArtMaking children are invited to “read their worlds” as they learn about images, explore materials and elements of art (color, lines, shapes, textures, spaces, design) and communicate their thinking through their own art processes and products. Along the way these skills build a strong literacy foundation. Using artwork as well as illustrations from children’s books as provocations, children make meaning with their visual literacy skills as they use the receptive and productive languages of literacy and art to make connections. When children engage in ArtMaking they apply the highest level of the comprehension and visual literacy continuums to new art experiences and makerspaces. They aren’t just making art, they are making meaning of the book and the world.
