GRAHAM was a distinguished American historian of science whose research illuminated the intricate relationships among science, technology, philosophy, and society—particularly within Russia and the Soviet Union. As a professor emeritus at both MIT and Harvard University, he was widely admired for his deep understanding of how cultural and political contexts shaped scientific ideas and institutions. Over his long and influential career, Graham authored numerous acclaimed books, including Science in Russia and the Soviet Union, Lysenko’s Ghost, and Lonely Ideas, each exploring the ethical and social dimensions of scientific progress. His work bridged disciplines and continents, earning him international recognition as one of the foremost scholars of the history of science and the moral responsibilities of scientific inquiry. cover of the book Eight miles long and four miles wide, Grand Island lies off the south shore of Lake Superior. It was once home to a sizable community of Chippewa Indians who lived in harmony with the land and with each other. Their tragic demise began early in the nineteenth century when their fellow tribesmen from the mainland goaded them into waging war against rival Sioux. The war party was decimated; only one young brave, Powers of the Air, lived to tell the story that celebrated the heroism of his band and formed the basis of the legend that survives today. Powers of the Air lived to witness the desecration of Grand Island by the fur and logging industries, the Christianization of the tribe, and the near total loss of the Chippewa language, history, and culture. Graham charts the plight of the Chippewa as white culture steadily encroaches, forcing the native people off the island and dispersing their community on the mainland. The story ends with happier events of the past two decades, including the protection of Grand Island within the National Forest system, and the resurgence of Chippewa culture.

SCHULTZ grew up in the beautiful Upper Peninsula, where she was the middle of 6 children in her family. In a neighborhood full of kids, there was always someone to spend time with outdoors. After marrying, raising children, and working outside of the home, she retired and found the time to write and paint (almost) as much as she would like to. She is a self-taught artist and author of children’s books. Her nature-inspired children’s books gave her the outlet to write and illustrate the wonderful area in which we live. The beauty of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin, with its abundant wildlife, wooded areas, and multiple lakes and rivers, has always been an inspiration for her work. Winter is her time of year to create my artwork, with the summers spent outdoors as much as possible. It is her fondest hope that readers will enjoy her work and that it will inspire them to create their own.
