Kehinde Wiley painted President Obama's official portrait and this is an early book from him documenting his extraordinary talents. "For most of Kehinde Wiley's very successful career, he has created large, vibrant, highly patterned paintings of young African American men wearing the latest in hip hop street fashion. The theatrical poses and objects in the portraits are based on well-known images of powerful figures drawn from seventeenth- through nineteenth-century Western art. Pictorially, Wiley gives the authority of those historical sitters to his twenty-first-century subjects." -National Portrait Gallery "My intention is to craft a world picture that isn't involved in political correcti...

Brian Jackson

"Brian Jackson was probably the most influential educationalist of the twentieth century, and the impact that he had on the British educational system was second to none. The names of others may be better known, but he can be seen as the true founding father of the Open University and a pivotal figure in the development of comprehensive schools. His influence extended far more widely, however, as many of the institutions that he founded proved to have a seminal social effect. Among these that have continued to make a national contribution were the National Children's Centre in Huddersfield and the Advisory Centre for Education (ACE) with its magazine. Another was the National Extension Colle...
