John Pounds of Portsmouth was famous in the 19th Century. His life, dedicated to teaching, feeding and clothing the poorest children from the most wretched parts of Portsmouth sparked a revolution in the education of the poor.
Countless column-inches were dedicated to him in newspapers, his name was invoked by education reformers, his example led to tens of thousands of impoverished children being educated in Ragged Schools throughout Britain - and strangely, few of those who drew inspiration from him ever met him.
Reverend Henry Hawkes of the Unitarian Church, Portsmouth, did. This book is the only firsthand account of the life of John Pounds, who inspired profound social changed in Victorian Britain.
Published to commemorate the 250th anniversary of his birth, this new edition of Recollections of John Pounds contains a foreword by Erica Davies, Director of The Ragged School Museum, and numerous extracts from newspapers of the day.
It gives a glimpse of the squalor and depravity in the alleys and courts behind the houses along Portsmouth's wealthy High Street, and shows just why John Pounds's work was so important in changing lives and offering hope to the most neglected in society.
This book also contains additional articles compiled by editor Matt Wingett, showing how, in the two decades after his death, Pounds' name became increasingly used to influence the UK's advance toward universal state education. Includes extracts from The Gentleman's Magazine, The Times and an article on the influence of Ragged Schools on poor children by another son of Portsmouth, Charles Dickens.

If you are tired of the usual coloring books and you really want something very relaxing, then this is the book for you
The amazing images shown and the small spaces lend themselves well to being an excellent anti-stress remedy.
Usually the subjects of the coloring books are always the same although different from each other depending on the author but this time everything is different, thanks to the originality of the images and the beauty of an elegant and very chic pattern that with its convolutions it leads to a total immersion in the places and external estrangement obtaining the fantastic result of an extraordinary relaxation.
You just have to try:
This journey;
The sense of relaxation;
The beauty of the images.
And this thanks to the Islamic culture and its beauties, and if you are thinking that it is a book only for Islamic people then you are wrong because the culture is of the whole world without borders and without differences because we are all brothers.

Imagine a world where slavery still exists, and your freedom depended on the colour of your skin?
Imagine a world where you couldn't get a job, ride a bus or eat in a restaurant, because of the colour of your skin?
That world once existed and was only changed through sacrifice
The world has always been changed by people of vision and courage, who have often had to fight against hardship and injustice in order to make those changes happen in the first place, and then to become accepted. It is no exaggeration to claim that black men and women, who have been the catalyst for change in many instances, have done so at great personal cost. But their sacrifice only serves to make them all the more memorable.
This book, 60 Amazing Black People Who Changed the World, examines the lives of some of the most influential black people of the preceding centuries and what they did to have their voices heard.
Men like Nelson Mandela, who fought against apartheid, or Martin Luther King who spoke out against inequality in the United States. Men such as Kofi Annan, who held the highest office within the UN, or women like Michelle Obama or Serena Williams, who both broke the mould in their own way. Each and every one of them gave something extra to pave the way for coming generations, and each of them had to work extra hard for what they achieved.
This book explores these men and women in detail and covers the world of politics, sport, music and much more, in its quest to show how grit and determination will always win against adversity.
