Pages : 162
Book Description
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, a great many people tragically lost their lives and hospitals were pushed to breaking point. Our way of life seemed to have changed forever. This devastating time called for everyday superheroes, people who went above and beyond to help others through selfless acts of kindness.

Our heroes come from all walks of life, from two-year-old twins Isla-Rose and Lily-Mae, who raised funds for charity in matching fancy dress, to our leading hero, 93-year-old activist Opal Lee, who hand-delivered food boxes to the needy. Each story proves that even in the most difficult of circumstances, ordinary people can do the most extraordinary things. All profits from the Unsung Heroes book will be donated to two causes: Maggie's, a UK-based cancer charity and Unity Unlimited, a grass-roots educational non-profit in America.

North Korean Graphic Novels
Author: Martin Petersen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351668196
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Graphic novels (kurimchaek) are a major art form in North Korea, produced by agents of the regime to set out its vision in a range of important areas. This book provides an analysis of North Korean graphic novels, discussing the ideals they promote and the tensions within those ideals, and examining the reception of graphic novels in North Korea and by North Korean refugees in South Korea. Particular themes considered include the ideal family and how the regime promotes this; patriotism, and its conflict with class identities; and the portrayal of the Korean War – "The Fatherland Liberation War", as it is known in North Korea – and the subsequent, continuing stand-off. Overall, the book demonstrates the importance of graphic novels in North Korea as a tool for bringing up children and for promoting North Korean ideals. In addition, however, the book also shows that although the regime sees the imaginative power of graphic novels as a necessity for effective communication, graphic novels are also viewed with caution in that they exist in everyday social life in ways that the regime may be aware of, and seeks to control, but cannot dominate completely.

Memories of Life on the Farm
Author: Frederick Whitford
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 155753909X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
John Calvin Allen, professionally known as J. C., worked as a photographer for Purdue University from 1909-1952, and operated his own photography business until his death in 1976. The J. C. Allen photographs represent a historical account of the transition from pioneer practices to scientific methodologies in agriculture and rural communities. During this major transitional period for agriculture, tractors replaced horses, hybrid corn supplanted open-pollinated corn, and soybeans changed from a novelty crop to regular rotation on most farms. During this time, purebred animals with better genetic pedigrees replaced run-of-the-mill livestock, and systematic disease prevention in cattle, swine, and poultry took place. Allen's photographs also document clothing styles, home furnishings, and the items people thought important as they went about their daily lives. Looking closely at tractors, livestock, wagons, planters, sprayers, harvesting equipment, and crops gives one a sense of the changing and fast-paced world of agriculture at that time. This volume contains over 900 picturesque images, most never-before-seen, of men, women, and children working on the farm, which remain powerful reminders of life in rural America at the turn of the twentieth century. As old farmhouses and barns fall victim to age, Allen photographs are all that remain. While those people and times no longer exist today, they do remain "alive" because of the preservation of that history on film. A camera in his hands and an eye for photography allowed Allen to create indelible visual histories that continue to tell the story of agriculture and rural life from long ago.
