  Where did Spanish flu come from, and what can the possible sites of origin tell us today? This book looks at how Spanish flu changed the focus of scientific thought from eugenics to the creation of public health, and how it unfolded across each continent.In Budapest, a lone woman dies quietly on a bench in the late afternoon sun, while in South Africa, a group of men plunge to their death in the blackness of a mine shaft elevator. In London, a loving father takes his daughter's life while in Austria a man grieves for his unborn baby trapped inside his dead wife's body. In Western Samoa, entire villages are wiped out in a matter of days and in India, the river Ganges becomes clogged with bloated corpses and the pungent smell of disease . . . This is not some post-apocalyptic future, but the reality of Spanish flu, which claimed the lives of around 100 million people globally between 1918 and 1920. Often overshadowed by the tragedy of the Great War, this book walks us through the lives of some of the victims, discusses the science behind the disease, and asks, what will the next pandemic look like?

  In a time very different from our own, there lived a woman that led an extraordinary life. The single most important event in her existence has stood the test of time. Her character, her actions, and her deepest thoughts and desires are still debated to this day. She has become a symbol of an era that many people today do not understand or comprehend.  
  Hannah Duston lived in a period when women were meant to be delicate, feeble, and more compassionate, but she defied this stereotype. She could be thought of as the ultimate mama bear defending her cubs and warding off all who would harm them. Or she could be seen as the wolf among the lambs that waits for the perfect moment to strike. Her accomplishments in life were great, and her courage stronger than most people. Yet her moral outlook on life was questionable. She was more than just a woman; she was a fighter with a keen sense of survival. She killed to avenge who she loved and never apologized for her actions, even if they were wrong.  
  In Hannah Duston: A Captivating Guide to the First American Woman to Have a Statue Built in Her Honor, you will discover topics such asEnglish, French, and Native Americans: Frenemies for DecadesHannah’s Early LifeThe Fateful Raid on HaverhillHannah’s Zero HourMerrimack River MassacreHannah’s Final ReflectionHannah Duston MemorialsThe Ugly Side of HannahControversial CandorAnd much, much more!
