Born in Edinburgh, with family connections to the local medical profession, James Lind (1716-94) went on to spend nine years at sea as a surgeon for the Royal Navy. His service made him familiar with one of the most common and debilitating ailments of the eighteenth century. Scurvy posed a particular problem for Britain, an island nation seeking to assert itself overseas through its navy. The symptoms of the disease had been recognised for centuries, but the causes remained elusive. First published in 1753, Lind's treatise explores the topic thoroughly, weighing the evidence and presenting a theory of the disease's aetiology, suggesting methods of prevention and treatment, and also discussing previous work on the subject, including ancient texts. Lind provided the groundwork for later investigations, his research lending support to the later practice of including the juice of citrus fruit in a sailor's diet, even though vitamin deficiency was not yet understood.
A true story that invites readers to spend a year with James, a third grader who looks like he has the perfect life from the outside. But life just isn't going the way James planned. James is dealing with more stuff than your average 9-year-old. He has a big bad secret that makes him feel sick a lot of the time; he's sad that his mom whom he adores has to fly all over the world for her job, and his headmaster has his mom on her speed dial. Trouble just seems to find James. However, James and his mom are adventurous and creative; they have a master plan. James and his mom are determined to find a way to fix his life before James is a teenager, and their methods might surprise you. This is a journey into a young boy's life that forever changed him from fearful and timid into a confident and courageous teenager.
