  Indian Creek Massacre and Captivity of Hall Girls was written by Charles Martin Scanlan in 1915. The Indian Creek Massacre arose in 1832 at LaSalle County, Illinois, after a dispute about a settler-constructed dam that blocked fish from reaching a Native American village downstream. It’s a unique historical snapshot of early America centered around Sylvia and Rachel Hall, sisters who were the only survivors of the massacre and were abducted, as well as the story of Chief Shabona who was a member of the Ottowa and Potawatomi. 
  This audiobook is narrated by Sylvia’s great-great-great-granddaughter, Rebecca Cook, with help from her sister Gwendelyn Gilchrist. The written book itself is in public domain and can be downloaded with photos for free from Project Gutenberg at gutenberg.com.

  The life of trailblazing physicist Mildred Dresselhaus, who expanded our understanding of the physical world. 
   
   
   
  As a girl in New York City in the 1940s, Mildred "Millie" Dresselhaus was taught that there were only three career options open to women: secretary, nurse, or teacher. In Carbon Queen, science writer Maia Weinstock describes how, with curiosity and drive, Dresselhaus defied expectations and forged a career as a pioneering scientist and engineer. Dresselhaus made highly influential discoveries about the properties of carbon and other materials and helped reshape our world in countless ways—from electronics to aviation to medicine to energy. She was also a trailblazer for women in STEM and a beloved educator, mentor, and colleague. 
   
   
    
  Her path wasn't easy. Her graduate adviser felt educating women was a waste of time. But Dresselhaus persisted, finding mentors in Nobel Prize–winning physicists Rosalyn Yalow and Enrico Fermi. Eventually, Dresselhaus became one of the first female professors at MIT, where she would spend nearly six decades. Weinstock explores the basics of Dresselhaus's work in carbon nanoscience accessibly and engagingly, describing how she identified key properties of carbon forms, leading to applications that range from lighter, stronger aircraft to more energy-efficient and flexible electronics.

  Adolphe Tonduz and the Golden...

  Certain eras in the development of humanity have been characterized by their effervescence and diversification of artistic, technical, intellectual, and scientific activities; one of them occurred at the end of the 19th century in Europe and North America. At that time, currents of change were generated that would later define many of the trends in today's world. 
  
  The once endless virgin forests and impassable rural roads, plains, rivers, and mountains of Costa Rica, as well as the city of San José, were also the scene of such effervescence. Here, botanical explorers such as Adolphe Tonduz, Henri Pittier or Paul Biolley, with sweat, effort, and collaboration, laid the foundations for the scientific exploration of this small Central American republic, and made it stand out in Latin America. 
  
  In the second edition of the work Adolphe Tonduz and the golden age of botany in Costa Rica, reference is made to this feat by incorporating, in addition to the pleasant stories of the Swiss naturalist, his agronomic texts, which represent the beginnings of the fight against pests of economically important tropical crops, such as coffee, bananas and cocoa. New and updated images of the actors, settings and correspondence have also been included, which constituted the primary source of the work. 
  
  Aimed not only at professionals in botany, natural sciences, and history, but also at agronomists, anthropologists and the public, this book transports us directly to the context of Tonduz, as well as to the dawn of modern Costa Rica.

  Life Blood, written by a renowned leukaemia physician, tells unforgettable stories of his leukaemia patients’ battles to be cured but also uniquely describes the stresses that doctors face when looking after extremely ill young people during an extraordinary time in their lives.
   
  In reflecting on his long and illustrious career, Professor Marks’ memoir offers frank descriptions of his own medical family, some personal experiences of ill-health and his relationships with colleagues and patients in the NHS. Partly written during the Covid pandemic and as he 
  approached retirement, Life Blood offers highly informed and compassionate views on modern medicine, from a pivotal point in both the author’s own professional life and the history of healthcare.
   
  Uniquely, through these real-life stories, we enter the world of the leukaemia patient, to understand what it is like to be diagnosed and treated for a life-threatening yet frequently curable cancer. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or ALL was the first cancer to be consistently cured in children and is a model for much of modern cancer therapy given that more than half of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. Looking to the future we read of Nitya, whose treatment-refractory leukaemia was cured by CAR T cells, a modern immunotherapy using genetically modified white blood cells, which is now being adapted to treat breast, lung and colon cancer.
