This Is the Route of My Forefathers
"Description: Historical maps are fascinating but often enigmatic, especially early Native American maps with few easily recognizable features. Indigenous people made numerous maps, but understanding and appreciating these documents requires an interdisciplinary approach. When integrated as in this book, oral traditions, written records, and archaeological information can decode Indigenous maps and help them attain the recognition they deserve as cultural as well as political documents. This book focuses on maps the Ioway people made in the 1800s. The State of Iowa is named for the Ioways, but most Iowans-and the vast majority of other Americans-know little about them. Maps made by Ioways de...

A pediatrician and infectious disease specialist warns of the resurgence of measles, the antivaccine movement, and how we can prepare for the next pandemic Every single child diagnosed with measles represents a system failure—an inexcusable unforced error. The technology to prevent essentially 100 percent of measles cases has been in our hands since before the moon landing. But this serious airborne disease, once seemingly defeated, is resurgent around the globe. Why, at a time when biomedical science is so advanced, do parents turn away from vaccination, endangering their own children and the health of the wider population? Using a combination of patient narrative, historical analysis, an...
We Were Still Ladies
Following World War II, women living in small towns and on farms across the Midwest woke every morning and headed out for a long day of work in a nearby factory. This transition into industrial work caused tremendous change within families and with household roles. These alterations in daily life rippled throughout midwestern culture and society, changing the landscape of small towns into decentralized industrial centers.
