Sinossi

Eyewitness Error Factors explores the pervasive issue of eyewitness misidentification and its significant role in wrongful convictions, a disturbing reality within the true crime landscape. The book delves into how courts assess witness reliability, often relying on flawed assumptions about human memory that can lead to unjust outcomes. Cognitive psychology reveals memory's fallibility; for instance, "weapon focus," where a witness fixates on a weapon, can impair their ability to accurately recall other details. This book advocates for a paradigm shift, urging the legal system to treat eyewitness accounts as one piece of evidence among many, subject to rigorous scrutiny. It examines how factors like stress and cross-racial identification can contribute to errors. By analyzing specific legal cases and drawing on empirical studies, the book presents a solutions-oriented approach, offering practical reforms like blind administration of lineups and sequential presentation of suspects, ultimately aiming to improve investigative protocols and reduce wrongful convictions.

    Essays: First Series Art

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    What is art? A mere imitation of life or something far greater—an act of creation that reveals the soul of the universe? Ralph Waldo Emerson, the philosopher-poet of American transcendentalism, elevates art beyond the canvas, beyond words, beyond form itself. In this essay, he explores the divine spark within creativity, arguing that true art is not bound by technique or tradition but flows from the spirit of the artist, a force both mysterious and essential.
    Emerson's vision is not for the passive observer but for those who seek to understand art as a living energy, a reflection of the highest truths. He sees the poet, the painter, the sculptor not as mere craftsmen but as visionaries, shaping the world with the raw power of imagination. Art, in its purest form, is not just a product—it is a revelation.
    For artists, dreamers, and seekers of meaning, Art is an invitation to look beyond the surface, to see beauty not as decoration but as a force that shapes existence itself. Read Emerson and rediscover art as you have never seen it before—alive, infinite, and transcendent.

From 1994 to 2002 Michael English's life went from bad to worse. Public shame, divorce, broken relationships, drug addiction, even homelessness. But in 2002, God reached out and rescued Michael from himself. Today Michael is whole again, and in this book he tells his story of redemption.

    "Tuning In is an affirmation of facing and conquering life’s challenges through the power of connection, creativity, and glorious music." — Michele Flannery, KPFA music director emerita 
    This is an inspiring memoir about a young woman who, abandoned by her father and then her mother, must become an adult at a very young age and deal with her teenage pregnancy. Growing up shy and poor in wealthy Palo Alto, her strength comes from the precious time she spends with her Irish grandmother who follows the old ways in the deep southwest. 
    Follow Sandy’s journey of self-discovery as she puts herself thorough college, finds work at a nascent Apple Computer in Silicon Valley, and then has a life-changing experience at Esalen at age 43. 
    Going on to become a beloved international public radio broadcaster, she embodies courage, imagination, and self-invention, never giving up on her vision of creating a better life for herself and those around her. An honest, moving story of loss, grief, endurance, joy, and creativity, told with an undeniably contagious sense of humor and hope. This down-to-earth and extraordinary journey to wholeness shines a light for struggling artists and creative seekers of all backgrounds.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
