SuitabookTo the rescue!

- Reading
- Read together and pause to unpack unfamiliar ideas such as safety hoods and chlorine gas; invite questions about the historical events without assuming the book gives every detail.
- Themes
- Invention and public need: Morgan develops a safety hood, which is later used in a tunnel rescue and against chlorine gas in the First World War. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Racial discrimination: Potential buyers were not interested in Morgan's safety hood after discovering that its inventor was Black. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to violence and harm.
