Summary

Mistaken Identity Cases explores the unsettling reality of mistaken identity and its repercussions within the true crime and legal systems. It delves into how errors in perception and memory can lead to wrongful convictions, examining the psychological impacts on both the wrongly accused and those who make the misidentification. The book highlights the fallibility of eyewitness testimony and the potential pitfalls of facial recognition technology, showing how these factors, combined with implicit biases, can undermine justice.

 
The book analyzes real cases using court transcripts and police reports to demonstrate how mistaken identity occurs and its devastating consequences. It traces the evolution of cognitive psychology's understanding of biases in perception. Did you know that memory is reconstructive, not a perfect recording, and can be easily influenced by suggestion? Or that cross-racial identification is particularly prone to error?

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts to detailed case studies, offering insights into improving identification procedures and promoting awareness to reduce errors. Ultimately, Mistaken Identity Cases argues that mistaken identity reflects deeper systemic issues within our perceptions and legal processes. It offers practical strategies for mitigating risks and ensuring fairness, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in psychology, true crime, or the pursuit of justice.

    The beloved star of Sister, Sister and former co-host of The Real sheds her “good girl” image and inspires women to do the same in this powerful memoir. A lighthearted and supremely entertaining memoir, You Should Sit Down for This is like spending the afternoon sharing tea, fresh baked cookies, and conversation with Tamera Mowry-Housley, the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives (always ready to top off your wine!). Most of us know Tamera Mowry-Housley as a beloved TV star—one‑half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera’s spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions, but the transition in the public eye from teen-girl star to grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn’t easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered, and wondered if living on her own terms would ever be her reality. Then, she decided it would. Vowing to live true to herself, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. In this pink book of quirky advice and storytelling, she encourages everyone to do the same. A celebration of love, cookies, and the juicy parts of life, she’ll leave you feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing. In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera shares heartfelt stories about exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants, the pressures of being a teenage star, her struggle with rejection, the craziness of dating later in life, the challenges of balancing family and career, and why it’s okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. Tamera doesn’t shy away from the tough experiences, hilarious missteps, and big lessons it took to build a thriving career and the full life she’s living today.  Our favorite girl next door offers “Tameraisms,”—bite-sized pieces of wisdom to empower other women to step up to life’s unexpected turns and surprises and make it all work. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the very best versions of ourselves.

    Have you ever been around people, yet still felt alone? Dr. bird has too. Within the first variant of their envirusmental series, they revealed thirty years of their late-in-life realized secrets. In this second volume, they, literally and figuratively, Zoom in on the last four "unprecedented" ones. This includes them cutting-the-shit about how, half-way through their PhD, COVID-19 hit. And how, a couple years later, they added "Dr." to the front of their nickname. In typical "bad guy" fashion, plague Dr. bird has more puns, cusswords, and trauma than all the answers on how to create our liberatory regenerative future. But, for now, they further diagnose how foundational U.S. issues severely sicken, disable, and kill us in the algorithmic envirusment. And,remind readers to drink water, do something nice for ourselves, and that we Abso-f*ckin-lutely deserve better than This Shit.

    A Scent of Heaven is food for the soul lost in the dark night of the soul. This body of poems heals the wounds of the hopeless on every level-- many have found freedom in this text. Written as an ekphrastic text, the cover met Igwe with the telling of her story, and the stories of her people. These words are a radically honest approach to the altar of the soul, and the words invite you to join in this recounting of the body, mind and Spirit. Written by a living ancestor for other living ancestors--those who are wading the deep and dark at the bottom of the sea, here they found me a bit of me. This work is heavily influenced by Igwe's spiritual journey and her life existing between cultures: a quintessential, Nigerian brand of Christianity and her forays into the world of Odinani and ancestral veneration.
