The flu pandemic that began in 1918 touched with illness virtually every family in America. Making the disease even more frightening was the fact that the cause of influenza was unknown in 1918. The authors have drawn from the medical literature, newspaper accounts and letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral histories to write this social history of what it was like to live during the 1918-20 flu pandemic.--[book cover]

"The Oil Prince's Legacy traces Rockefeller philanthropy in China from the nineteenth century to today. Family diaries, letters, interviews in China, and institutional archival records are used to tell a compelling story about successive Rockefeller generations and U.S.-China cultural relations. This book describes how Rockefeller philanthropy came to focus on elite science and medicine and ensured their ongoing importance in the American-Chinese relationship. That importance is still seen today in the ties of the two countries in natural and social sciences, the humanities, economics, and higher education. The Rockefeller family's involvement with China continues in the fourth and fifth generations, even as Rockefeller philanthropy is reshaped in response to China's rise as a global power. Understanding the origin, evolution, Cold War interregnum, and post-Mao renewal of Rockefeller philanthropy brings new clarity to the nature and tenacity of this ongoing bilateral relationship."--Provided by publisher.
