My family immigrated there in '72 and I lived there until I got married (to an American) in '89. Thank you for sharing and appreciating my book! There is so much to admire about C.S. Wu. I can't imagine doing all that she did in the face of so much opposition.

I...I could sure go for some cool weather about now. It's been so very hot, but I am thankful for a couple evenings that ended in a nice rainstorm -- cooled things down just before bed (even if we were back up around 100 the next day). I'm glad to hear about the Wu Chien Shiung biography. I need to hunt down a copy of this one. And now I simply HAVE to add Don't Stand So Close to Me to my list. I was curious about this one, but since it was already written, edited, and published as an e-book when we're only four months into the real life experience of COVID-19, I wasn't sure if it would be well-written. But we're talking about a very experienced author, here. I'm betting this one will be a hot title as kids start back to school pretty soon!

He says that, "Some of the royalties from the book will be donated to Hope House, a poverty relief agency based in Guelph."

When We Are Kind sounds like a very sweet book, and Queen of Physics sounds quite interesting—I have never heard of Wu Chien Shiung before today, so I'd be curious to learn about her. Rick sounds great as well! Thank you for the great post!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.com
