The British campaign to free the Soviet Jewish communities

The last place in North America where black people and white people could not sit down together to share a cup of coffee in a restaurant was not in the Deep South. It was in the small, sleepy Ontario town of Dresden. Dresden is the site of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Slaves who made their way north through the Underground Railroad created the thriving Dawn Settlement in Dresden before and during the Civil War. They did not find Utopia on the Canadian side of the border, despite their efforts.In 1954 something extraordinary happened. The National Unity Association was a group of African Canadian citizens in Dresden who had challenged the racist attitudes of the 1950s and had forged an alliance with civil rights activists in Toronto to push the Ontario Government for changes to the law in order to outlaw discrimination.Despite the law, some business owners continued to refuse to serve blacks. The National Unity Association worked courageously through a variety of means of protest to change attitudes.The story of their season of rage is told in this compelling new book.

After making many photo books about adventures they have had over the years with their grandchildren, the Coopers decided to publish their first illustrated children's book. While growing up, the Coopers remember people quoting that old adage, "Don't judge a book by its cover." In Zac and Kat, A Rough Road to Friendship, it is proven that preconceptions of others are often faulty. If we can rid ourselves of the ingrained social and cultural stigmas, there is the possibility of finding new friends and productive relationships.In this delightful tale, children witness the making of an unlikely friendship between a dog and a cat. By using a pair of characters that children "know" are natural adversaries, Zac and Kat introduces young readers to the idea that established norms and expectations can be questioned. If you take a second look, you just might meet your best friend.

Lost Rickmansworth, Croxley Green and Chorleywood portrays a vivid picture of the many losses and changes that have taken place in this lovely area over the last 100 years, as the reader embarks on a fascinating journey of discovery. Fond memories are evoked of the local cinemas, long since gone, where for a few hours one could escape to the celluloid world of make-believe in the smoky atmosphere of the auditorium. Sadly, industries such as Walker's boatbuilding, Moussec's sparkling wine and the John Dickinson paper mills have similarly disappeared, all irreplaceable and much missed. However, many buildings have survived such as Croxley House, The Cedars and Chorleywood House, though all now used for a different purpose to what they were originally. With a wealth of information inside, this book will surely appeal to those who can still recollect much that is lost and now relegated to memory, and those eager to discover the history of this small town and two villages in south-west Hertfordshire.

In this comprehensively illustrated guide, Watford History Tour takes the reader on a nostalgic journey around the old market town, coupled with a useful location map showing the various places of historical interest, highlighting the tremendous changes that have taken place in the town over the last 100 years. In accompaniment with a fascinating selection of old picture postcards, we are able to admire historical edifices such as the thirteenth-century parish church of St Mary, the old Free School founded by Elizabeth Fuller, the imposing Palace Theatre (one of Watford's best-known buildings), the beautifully preserved, Grade II listed almshouses constructed in 1580 by Francis Russell, the 2nd Duke of Bedford, and much more besides.

Rickmansworth, Croxley Green and Chorleywood Through Time takes the reader on a nostalgic journey back to an age when the pace of life was much slower and more tranquil than it is today. Using a vibrant selection of old picture postcards, many of which have been stored in dusty attics untouched for generations, coupled with superb modern-day colour photographs as a comparison, we witness the many changes that have occurred in these lovely picturesque areas over the past 100 years. Memories abound: Rickmansworth's first railway, which opened in 1862, King Edward VII's visit to Croxley Green in 1909 and countless images of the charming village of Chorleywood, captured on camera by a small but dedicated group of photographers. Without their enthusiasm and commitment in recording for posterity mostly everyday views and occurrences, much of these areas' pictorial history would have been lost forever.

Watford is situated between the Rivers Gade and Colne, fifteen miles north-west of London in what Charles Lamb, the eighteenth-century English essayist, once called 'hearty, homely, loving Hertfordshire'. A Saxon chief named Wata is believed to have settled where the existing Lower High Street crosses the Colne, and this came to be known as Wata's Ford, later shortened to Watford. Watford Through Time takes the reader on a nostalgic journey through the old market town and the beautiful Cassiobury Park at a time when the pace of life was much slower and more tranquil than it is today. The images in this book, including those taken by the author as a modernday comparison, provide a fascinating insight into the tremendous changes that have taken place in the town over the last hundred years.
