Walking through a city, you'll see lots of buildings and statues -
but to discover the hidden world below the streets, you'll need
your 'magic' torch and your sense of adventure! Explore the cellar
beneath the house, the pipes below the pavements, and the car parks
and underground trains that run under our feet. Maybe you'll even
uncover the fascinating remains of an ancient city, if you're
lucky. This title is part of the My First Discovery paperback
series - a unique collection of beautifully illustrated information
books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple language to aid
learning and realistic artwork to inspire young minds. This edition
contains a paper torch at the back of the book, revealing hidden
secrets on the 4 darkened transparent pages and making the story
come alive - one detail at a time. With free access to a brand new
audio app, children can listen and read along at their own pace,
page by page.
This ground-breaking Encyclopedia provides a nuanced overview of

The first publication of Ernest Cole’s photographs depicting
Black lives in the United States during the turbulent and eventful
late 1960s and early ’70s After the publication of his landmark
1967 book House of Bondage on the horrors of apartheid,
Ernest Cole moved to New York and received a grant from the Ford
Foundation to document Black communities in cities and rural areas
of the United States. He released very few images from this body of
work while he was alive. Thought to be lost entirely, the negatives
of Cole’s American pictures resurfaced in Sweden in 2017. Ernest
Cole photographed extensively in New York City, documenting the
lively community of Harlem, including a thrilling series of color
photographs, as he turned his talent to street photography across
Manhattan. In 1968 Cole traveled to Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis,
Atlanta, and Los Angeles, as well as rural areas of the South,
capturing the mood of different Black communities in the months
leading up to and just after the assassination of Martin Luther
King Jr. The pictures both reflect a newfound hope and freedom that
Cole felt in America, and an incisive eye for inequality as he
became increasingly disillusioned by the systemic racism he
witnessed. This treasure trove of rediscovered work provides an
important window into American society and redefines Cole’s
oeuvre, presenting a fuller picture of the life and work of a man
who fled South Africa and exposed life under apartheid to the
world.
