In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS
series, discover the incredible life of Florence Nightingale, the
founder of modern nursing. Growing up in an upper-class family, it
was expected that Florence would find a husband and live a life of
luxury - but that kind of life wasn't for her. Her calling was
caring for the sick and the poor, so she followed her passion with
her whole heart and trained to be a nurse. When war broke out,
Florence travelled to nurse wounded soldiers but found that the
hospitals were so dirty that they were making people ill! This
experience inspired her to lead a healthcare revolution, and she
became the mother of modern nursing, introducing care practices
still followed today. This inspiring book features stylish and
quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the social reformer's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a
bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the
lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to
scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things,
yet each began life as a child with a dream. This empowering series

The 25th anniversary edition of Baroness Floella Benjamin's classic
memoir, Coming to England. With a foreword by the author and some
additional historical information, this is the incredible story of
Floella's journey from Trinidad to London, as part of the Windrush
generation, to the House of Lords. It is gloriously illustrated
throughout by Joelle Avelino, perfect for readers aged 9+. Floella
Benjamin was just a young girl when she, her sister and two
brothers arrived in England in 1960 to join their parents, whom
they had not seen for fifteen months. They had left their island
home of Trinidad to make a new life in London - part of a whole
generation of West Indians who were encouraged to move to Britain
and help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Reunited
with her mother, Floella was too overwhelmed at first to care about
the cold weather and the noise and dirt from the traffic. But, as
her new life began, she was shocked and distressed by the rejection
she experienced. She soon realized that the only way to survive was
to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This
inspirational story is a powerful reminder of how courage and
determination can overcome adversity.

Wanneer ’n mens se lewe vreeslik deurmekaar voel met niks wat reg uitwerk nie, mense wat siek word, vriende wat vreemde dinge doen en węreldwye chaos, het jongmense ’n anker nodig.
As gelowiges is ons grootste lewensanker God en sy Woord. Gewilde skrywer Ewald van Rensburg ken die harte van kinders en jongmense, en hy verstaan hulle vrae en twyfel. Met die opbouende en inspirerende verhale in hierdie 365 Skrifgebaseerde oordenkings wil hy opnuut vir jong tieners hoop bring in ’n wankelende węreld. Die oordenkings fokus op God se ewige liefde en trou, en sy redding deur Jesus Christus deur vanaf Genesis tot Openbaring chronologies deur die Bybel te werk. Elke kort oordenking word gevolg deur ’n kort gebed.
God in elke storie se 365 oordenkings sal elke jongmens se hart opnuut anker in God se trou.
What does it mean to be a Brahmin, and what could it mean to become
one? Over the years, intellectuals and dogmatists have offered
plenty of answers to the first question, but the latter presents a
cultural puzzle, since normative Brahminical ideology deems it
impossible for an ordinary individual to change caste without first
undergoing death and rebirth. There is, however, one notable figure
in the Hindu mythological tradition who is said to have transformed
himself from a king into a Brahmin by amassing great ascetic power,
or tapas: the ornery sage Visvamitra. Through texts composed in
Sanskrit and vernacular languages, oral performances, and visual
media. Crossing the Lines of Caste examines the rich mosaic of
legends about Visvamitra found across the Hindu mythological
tradition. It offers a comprehensive historical analysis of how the
"storyworlds" conjured up through these various tellings have
served to adapt, upgrade, and reinforce the social identity of
real-world Brahmin communities, from the ancient Vedic past up to
the hypermodern present. Using a performance-centered approach to
situate the production of the Visvamitra legends within specific
historical contexts, Crossing the Lines of Caste reveals how and
why mythological culture has played an active, dialogical role in
the construction of Brahmin social power over the last three
thousand years.
