The town of Kearsley, between Bolton and Manchester, has a rich and fascinating history. With around 500 pictures and 70,000 words this book attempts to convey how it has grown from a sparsely populated area comprising of no more than a few dozen farms and cottages to the busy and industrious town of today.Early township records show many interesting details, such as land ownership and how relief was administered to the poor and needy, but also how some unfortunate souls were removed to the dreaded workhouse.The earliest known written record of Kearsley is also shown which dates from around the year 1222, and special permission had to be granted for it to be photographed for reproduction in this book.Kearsley and the surrounding area became a hotbed for manufacturing as the industrial revolution took hold, with many factories and mills springing up, particularly beside the overworked River Irwell. There are numerous pictures, maps and documents to illustrate how these developed then declined during the twentieth century as post war Britain could no longer compete in these traditional industries. The coal industry is described along with its dangers, and details of several local mining disasters are given. A large section is dedicated to the Unity Brook colliery disaster, which to this day remains as the single worst tragedy in the history of Kearsley. Unique pictures that were drawn by a local artist at the scene of the disaster during the rescue operation have been uncovered and feature in this compelling section as well as evidence from the inquests that followed.There is a wealth of information on the schools, Churches, public houses, roads, bridges, tram-systems, railways, canals, farms and the former Kearsley Power Station. The neighbouring towns of Farnworth and Clifton are also largely featured, as is the district once referred to as Halshaw Moor, which took in parts of both Kearsley and Farnworth. Again, there are numerous rare and unique pictures, maps and documents to accompany all of these chapters and areas.

Europeans and Americans, and especially Western students, know very little, if anything, about Africa and its extraordinary political leaders. At the Institute of Political Science, in the political leadership courses, the focus is on the great political leaders who shaped world history, such as Niccolo Machiavelli, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Vladimir Lenin, etc. No one is mentioned on the continent of Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Soundiata Keita, Leopold Senghor and Mansa Kanga Mousa. The latter, king of the kings of Mali from 1312 to 1337, an empire in West Africa, is considered the richest man in human history."Political Leadership in Africa" is a series of books that shine a light on extraordinary African political leaders, so that people around the world, especially politicians, journalists and students, will pay new attention to Africa, its history and its people.Indeed, Patrice Emery Lumumba "Ahead of His Time" is the first volume in the series. This book is a detailed political analysis of an extraordinary politician, who became prime minister when the Democratic Republic of Congo gained its independence in 1960. Although his life was cut short, Patrice Lumumba was undoubtedly an exceptional political leader. The consequences of the events that led to the liberation of the Democratic Republic of Congo would have been profoundly different without his impact on the political outcome. He is now described as a hero, a martyr, a prophet and the Abraham Lincoln of African politics.

Therein lies much of the book's charm."- C.Foster, NY Inquirer

Les Européens et les Américains, et surtout les étudiants occidentaux connaissent très peu, voire pas du tout l'Afrique et ses extraordinaires leaders politiques. À l'Institut des sciences politiques, dans les cours de leadership politique, l'étude porte essentiellement sur les grands leaders politiques qui ont façonné l'histoire du monde, tels que Niccolo Machiavelli, Napoléon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Vladimir Lenin, etc. Personne n'est mentionné sur le continent de Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Soundiata Keita, Léopold Senghor et Mansa kanga Mousa. Ce dernier, roi des rois du Mali de 1312 à 1337, un empire à l'ouest de l'Afrique, est considéré comme l'homme le plus riche de l'histoire de l'humanité."Le Leadership Politique en Afrique" est une série de livres qui mettent en lumière des leaders politiques africains extraordinaires, afin que tous les peuples du monde, en particulier les politiciens, les journalistes et les étudiants, accordent une nouvelle attention à l'Afrique, à son histoire et à ses habitants.En effet, Patrice Lumumba "En Avance Sur Son Temps" est le premier volume de la série. Ce livre est une analyse politique détaillée d'un homme politique extraordinaire, qui est devenu Premier Ministre lorsque la République Démocratique du Congo a accédé à son indépendance en 1960. Bien que sa vie ait été écourtée, Patrice Emery Lumumba était sans aucun doute un leader politique exceptionnel. Les conséquences des événements qui ont conduit à la libération de la République Démocratique du Congo auraient été profondément différentes sans son impact sur les résultats politiques. Il est aujourd'hui décrit comme un héros, un martyr, un prophète et l'Abraham Lincoln de la politique africaine.
