Pandemics have afflicted human civilizations throughout history, yet these health crises have also led to progress in medicine and society that improved people’s lives. History shows that scientific innovation often proceeds from the collaboration of researchers across disciplines, nations, and institutions. The Pandemics & Medical Breakthroughs Collection includes: Book one: Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not. This 1859 book by Florence Nightingale provides hints on nursing to those entrusted with the health of others. Florence Nightingale stressed that it was not meant as a teach-yourself-nursing guide, but to assist in the practice of treating others. The book appeared at a time when the simple rules of health were only beginning to be known, when its subjects were of vital importance for the well-being and recovery of patients. It includes advice and practice for ventilation and warming, noise, environment, food, beds and bedding, light and cleanliness. Book two: The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918. Oscar J. Harvey (1850-1922) was a renowned historian of Wilkes-Barre and Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and held the positions of professor of mathematics and English at Wyoming Seminary. This is his account of the ravages of the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and the efforts made to combat and overcome it. Harvey gives a firsthand account of how the county struggled to deal with the plague while America was still engaged in World War One. Luzerne County responded immediately by adopting and enforcing drastic regulations to minimize contagion, setting up emergency hospital facilities and caring for the sick. Other challenges included finding the right staff, raising the remuneration of nurses, helping people to pay rent, and taking care of orphans.

The Great Aunt Alice Collection: A Memoir and Mostly-True Story : Megan’s Mostly-True Stories, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min

If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. (Pearl S. Buck)Wild souls, free spirits, and savage thoughts live on in the remarkable attic of a young girl growing up in the mountainous Pennsylvania Wilds during the 1960s and '70s, among the grand, historic remains of a turn-of-the-1900s Boomtown.“When my Aunt Alice was a teenager,” Mom said, “She hopped on the train with her boyfriend and headed to New York City with the intention of getting married. Her mother, your great-grandmother Lulu Muldoon, was on the next train and determined to stop them, which she would have, but she lost them in the New York train station..."Read in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains by the author, The Great Aunt Alice Collection presents tall tales and telling truths told in rural Elk County, PA, from the late 1870s to the late 1970s.Excerpt:“I looked for the ghosts of the forest, when we ice skated on the frog pond in the deep woods, but never saw them. ‘Those will come alive in the spring, when it thaws,’ Dad told us about the frogs - clearly frozen mid-sprawl in the ice under our feet. Now, who could believe that? Those frogs were certainly dead. This frog tale was just like the yellow-brown salve Dad put on our cuts. Mrs. McKinley’s bear salve. Really? From a bear?”Author Megan Schreiber-Carter is a third-generation native of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains and a career writer. Her bio and more of her writing may be found at www.megansdesk.net.
