Humphreys (emeritus agricultural science, U. of Queensland) offers a biography of Australian organic chemist Victor Martin Trikojus (1902- 85), arguing that his time in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s convinced him that science must make a practical contribution to society, and that Australia must be positioned to make key synthetic drugs that were then supplied by the German chemical industry, most especially those drugs that saved lives of soldiers, who died more often from infection than from wounds.

Trikojus: A Scientist for Interesting Times
I am captivated by the story of Yuri Gagarin, the first human to orbit Earth. I had first read of him in the biography Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin. Road to the Stars is an autobiography and, I'm not sure if it is due to the translation, or if Yuri Gagarin was such a charming storyteller that he was able to convey such a tender and touching recount of his life, but this book was such a beautiful story. To be able to glimpse into Gagarin's life through his eyes and memories was captivating.
"Perhaps it was on that very day that I first became infected with a new disease, a disease that medicine has not yet found a name for- an irresistible urge to reach outer space. It was a vague, not fully recognized feeling, but it remained with me, bothered me, and gave me no rest." ~ Yuri Gagarin / Road to the Stars
