Moon landing : the incredible story of the Apollo 11 mission /

Krensky, Stephen,


Subtitle taken from cover. "Author's note: This is a retelling of real-life events surrounding the Apollo 11 mission. It is based particularly on the mission logs and the astronauts' own recollections. While staying true to the facts, some imagination has been used to bring this story to life."--Title page verso. ALA Booklist. On July 16, 1969, three men sit at the top of a towering rocket. Strapped into their Command Module, the astronauts brace themselves as the engines roar into life, flames lick out from beneath the rocket, and the ground starts to tremble. They are going where no one has ever been before. This is the story of the legendary Apollo 11 mission-and the men and women on the ground who made it happen. When astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the moon in July 1969, they achieved humanity's oldest dream. But how did they get there? This is the thrilling story of Apollo 11, from President Kennedy's bold challenge to the nail-biting lunar landing and those historic first footsteps.

Exclusion and the Chinese American story

Blackburn, Sarah-SoonLing,


Kirkus Reviews. If you've learned about the history of Chinese people in America, it was probably about their work on the railroads in the 1800s. But more likely, you may not have learned about it at all. This may make it feel like Chinese immigration is a newer part of this country, but some scholars believe the first immigrant arrived from China 499 CE--one thousand years before Columbus did! When immigration picked up in the mid-1800s, efforts to ban immigrants from China began swiftly. But hope, strength, and community allowed the Chinese population in America to flourish. From the gold rush and railroads to entrepreneurs, animators, and movie stars, this is the true story of the Chinese American experience.

Everything is tuberculosis : the history and persistence of our deadliest infection /

Green, John,


Publishers Weekly. "John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world's deadliest infectious disease. Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis , John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world--and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis."--
