  • Growing Up in Birmingham During the Civil Rights Era

  • Ian Hardin grew up in the fifties and early sixties while Birmingham was embroiled in the Civil Rights Movement. Bull Connor, the notorious Birmingham Police Commissioner, was in Hardin's Dad's Sunday School class, and the events of the 50's and early 60's were part of Ian's vivid growing-up experiences. This will be the story of coming from Scotland to a different and sometimes turbulent world.

  • Jonathan Swift, William Hogarth and the Streets of London

  • Time travel to the 18th century and experience a day in London through the words of Jonathan Swift ("Description of the Morning" and "Description of a City Shower") and the engravings of William Hogarth ("Four Times of the Day"). No doubt you will be happy to return to 21st-century convenience (not to mention hygiene) but you will also see why Swift and Hogarth's contemporary Samuel Johnson would say: "He who is tired of London is tired of life!"
