Colonization and the Wampanoag Story

By: Linda Coombs

Until now, you've only heard one side of the story: the "discovery" of America told by Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims, and the Colonists. Here's the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective. When you think about the beginning of the American story, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepping off of the Mayflower, ready to start a new country. But the truth is, Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims, and the Colonists didn't arrive to a vast, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its "discovery" by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving, the story of America's earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Told from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began.

Essex Murders

By: Linda Stratmann

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Essex Murders

By: Linda Stratmann

The county of Essex has rolling arable farmland, Epping Forest, sleepy villages, busy market towns and secluded backwaters - a wide variety of settings for murder. This selection of crimes uncovers not only famous cases, but also previously unpublished dramatic and tragic tales. The accounts included here come from a time when murder was a capital offence, carrying the ultimate penalty for the perpetrator, and when the difference between a verdict of innocence or guilt rested on a single piece of evidence, or the skill of the barrister in defence. Linda Stratmann has used original trial transcripts, material from local and national archives, contemporary accounts and the memoirs of pathologists, police and those in the legal profession in the course of her extensive research into crimes that have shocked the county. The killings explored date from as far back as the eighteenth century when the smuggler 'Colchester Jack' shot a confederate in the stomach in a row over stolen goods. They also include the case of a nineteenth-century female poisoner from Clavering and the brutal murder of a taxi driver in 1943 by two US servicemen at Birch. Supported by contemporary illustrations, Essex Murders reveals that behind the county's peaceful facade lies a murky criminal heritage.

Abnormal Child Psychology

A Developmental Perspective

By: Linda Wilmshurst

Abnormal Child Psychology: A Developmental Perspective is intended for undergraduate and Masters-level students enrolled in courses in Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology. Written from a developmental perspective, the book is organized around five prominent and recurring themes: the course of normal development proceeds in an orderly and predictable direction; maladaptive behaviors represent deviations from the normal path; maladaptive behavior is represented by a continuum of severity (symptoms, syndromes, disorders) based on the degree to which behaviors deviate from the norm; individual, interpersonal, contextual and cultural factors interact in a reciprocal way to influence normal development and abnormal deviations; theoretical input from diverse perspectives can guide our understanding of underlying processes that precipitate and maintain behaviors and the different developmental pathways that might result. The text provides students with a learning model which incorporates three essential cornerstones, which are pivotal to understanding child and adolescent psychopathology: the K3 paradigm that consists of knowledge of developmental expectations, knowledge of the sources of influence, and knowledge of the theoretical models. Each chapter opens with a case illustration to highlight the themes of the material that follows. The chapters conclude with a Summary Review, Glossary of New Terms and a Set of Review Questions.

Dark Secrets Of Cedar Hall

By: Linda S Allison

A Gothic mystery of dark secrets threatens a young girl's sanity and trust as she struggles to overcome the evil lurking at Cedar Hall. Lydia De Morely believed her luck had changed, when she and her mother Martha, inherited Cedar Hall, high in the mountains over London, ending their days of drudgery and poverty. But fate had a different idea. Lydia loses her post to a wealthy matron, and then rescues a homeless woman from a ruffian. She finds a handsome stranger is not who he seems. An old gypsy's cryptic warning of danger fills her with dread. Then Lydia's valuable brooch is stolen. When they arrive at their new home, Lydia realizes Cedar Hall is not the place she imagined. The dour housekeeper receives them with a chilly welcome. Unearthly roses appear throughout the crumbling mansion. When Lydia discovers an old doll, sinister things begin to happen, but no one believes her, adding to her fears... Who is the shadowy stranger lurking around the grounds, and which of the two handsome men can she trust? One has captured her heart, the other her friendship. For both of them hide secrets behind smiling faces. Can Lydia solve the sinister secrets that threaten to tear them apart? Or will she be the next victim of the evil that dwells at Cedar Hall...
