Big Ideas. Michael Faraday. Faraday later recalled: "my education was of the most ordinary description, consisting of little more than the rudiments of reading, writing, and arithmetic at a common day-school. My hours out of school were passed at home and in the streets". In 1804 he became an errand boy, delivering among other things newspapers, for the bookseller George Riebau of 2 Blandford Street. In October 1805, at the age of fourteen, he was indentured for seven years to Riebau as an apprentice bookbinder. It was during this apprenticeship that he developed an interest in chemistry. Faraday wrote: "whilst an apprentice, I loved to read the scientific books which were under my hands.
" He later thanked Riebau for helping him in his education: "you kindly interested yourself in the progress I made in the knowledge of facts relating to the different theories in existence, readily permitting me to examine those books in your possession that were in any way related to the subjects occupying my attention.

Aims & rationale reveal is a documentary photography project set in Bristol between the years 2000 and 2002. It features 36 young people from all walks of life aged 16 to 22 years old. I asked each participant to think of how they wished to represent themselves in terms of the photographic portrait, and to think in terms of locations that revealed aspects of their lives they wished to record for posterity. I took colour photographs as observations of objects that were discussed and shown to me whilst working with each participant. My aim was to create an historical document about young people in Bristol at this time of changes in young people’s lives. This means the photographs are taken as evidence, and held as such by the participants for their own lifetimes, to be viewed in the future as a slice of their lives they have helped create.

Po-Yi Hung Stephen Laubach Earthrise, 1968 Image courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Photographic images serve as powerful records of people, events, and places. They evoke ideas or emotions in ways that words alone cannot. The image above, for example, is one of the most popular NASA images. The Last Whole Earth Catalog refers to it as “the famous Apollo 8 picture of Earthrise over the moon that established our planetary facthood and beauty and rareness (dry moon, barren space) and began to bend human consciousness.”

Step back briefly to Troy NY in the mid-19th century in Upstate NY. (The above illustration is from about 1840). Few towns across the United States matched Troy, New York, in prosperity. Several miles north of Albany, the town faces the eastern terminus of the then active Erie Canal on the farther bank of the Hudson. Earlier in the 19th century, Adirondack charcoal and iron ore came in by water and fueled a lucrative local steel industry. As the steel industry moved west, precision manufacturing industry sprang up. Into this environment arrived a teen-aged Elisha Waters who moved with his parents and family fom Bennington, Vermont to Troy in 1831. One early March day in 1867, the box baron"s teenage son, George, received an invitation to a masquerade party and decided to attend as a giant.

The History of Islington Green School to 1991 The site is now occupied by City of London Academy, which is welcome to continue the history if it so desires.
Introduction Since 1884 the Islington Green School site has held three separate sets of school buildings which have been enlarged and adapted as times have changed. The school names have changed over the years. It was reorganised in 1911, and 1934-36. The small first site has expanded, taking over houses and gardens, a builder's yard, and a complete road, in its search for space. The Many School Names The school names have changed over the years. This article will try to unravel the complicated story of the different schools and the history of the site site. Let us go back to the start of the school history The Compulsory Education Act of 1870 In 1870 Parliament passed an Act which required all children to attend school from the age of five to thirteen. For this they needed to build hundreds of schools as quickly as possible, but where? The History of Canonbury Primary School, Islington as seen by The School Detective.
This is about looking closely at buildings and, in Asa Briggs' words, ‘reading them like books.' Each building was built at a particular time, in materials which were available to the architect at that time, in a style which was old or new at the time, designed for a particular use, and at a particular cost, extravagant or mean. The use may have changed. The site may have expanded or become smaller. There may have been later additions, perhaps in different materials. A school detective does not look at a building standing still, but as something changing through time.
Canonbury Primary School building, with its long history, situated as it is on the edge of devastating bomb damage, is an interesting example to study. A Summary of the Development of Canonbury Primary School Compton Terrace in 1806 with Union Chapel in the centre.
