Discover the inspiring story of Marie Curie - the scientist who made more than one world-changing discovery, and the first woman to win a Nobel prize - in this fascinating kids'' biography.Born to poor school teachers at a time when women could not attend university in her home country of Poland, Marie Curie sought out an underground university and worked hard to save money for further study in Paris. She made it to France, and continued to dedicate herself to science once she had graduated. In search of new radioactive elements, she undertook physically exhausting work with materials that were later found to be incredibly dangerous. Having finally discovered polonium and radium, the Nobel prize that should have been hers was first awarded to her husband - but Marie eventually won the fame she deserved.This biography, ideal for kids aged 7-11, charts the major events of Marie''s life, from her childhood in Poland, when she discovered her love of science using the lab kit her father brought home from his school, to coining the term "radioactive" and developing mobile radiology units that helped treat countless injured soldiers in the First World War.

In 1973, Michael Lesy was a young scholar whose first book had just been published. In the soon-legendary Wisconsin Death Trip he combined 1890s photographs and newspaper clippings to evoke a devastatingly tragic epoch, the real-world antithesis of the fanciful "Gay Nineties." It startled readers then and remains a touchstone of modern photographic interpretation.That year Lesy met and became close friends with the great photographer Walker Evans, who in the 1930s had collaborated with writer James Agee to create another towering landmark in the American photo-essay, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Old, frail, with just two years left to live, Evans was still urgently and obsessively photographing. "Outside the rooms he inhabited," Lesy writes, "the world was scattered with objects on their way to oblivion. He photographed them in their passage." Brief as their friendship was, it was intense and rewarding. Each admired the other; each saw himself reflected in the other: aesthetic visionaries who shared a radical belief that photographs were not flat and static documents—that "the plain truth of the images . . . wasn’t as plain as it seemed," Lesy explains. "Meanings, beliefs, and emotions lay crisscrossed under the surface of the most plainspoken photographs." Throughout ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Offering historical identity fortified by the presence of women belonging to the various areas of creative and intellectual life, this book allows readers to understand greater contexts of their identity. The history of female artists is an indicator of how social identity was erased from the historiography which asserted itself in nineteenth-century Europe. Analysis of the biographical pathways traced here reveals how women in the Middle Ages and beyond have been active protagonists of the arts, received reviews, as well as had an authoritative role as the esteemed and attentive witnesses of the society around them.Reconstruction of social relationships, intellectual and creative production as well as of the life stories of some of Europe''s most important female artists, foregrounds this omission and highlights their extraordinary nature.The different stories contained in this book narrate the lives and works of Hildegard von Bingen, Francesca Caccini, Mary Wollstonecraft, George Sand, Lou Andreas Salomé and Elke Mascha Blankenburg.By reinforcing the awareness of social and historical origins, the informed reader is better equipped to tackle their futures and build up their personalities.

Audiokniha: Marie Sklodowská – obětavá ve prospěch vědyBeletristicky zpracovaná mladá léta slavné fyzičky Marie Curie-Sklodowské. Autor líčí povahu a charakter mladé dívky, která ve prospěch studia a později vědy je ochotna takřka obětovat sebe samu.Z jakých kořenů vyrostla slavná fyzička Marie Curie-Sklodowská, nositelka Nobelovy ceny? Spisovatel se zaměřil zejména na Mariino mládí, popisuje její rodinné zázemí, kde nebylo peněz nazbyt, i její pevný charakter. Líčí její ušlechtilost a obětavost, díky nimž ji mají druzí rádi, i velkorysost, s níž sestře pomůže k vytouženému studiu v Paříži. Sama se místo vysněné Sorbonny na čas stává vychovatelkou v bohaté rodině v Ščukách, kde potká svou první lásku, ale prožije i trpké ponížení, když ji bohatá rodina odmítne jako nevhodnou chudou nevěstu. Soucit i obdiv vzbuzuje Mariino strádání i vnitřní síla a odhodlanost během prvních let strávených v Paříži. Je vášnivou vlastenkou a chce se po studiích vrátit do Varšavy, ale cestu jí zkříží zajímavý mladý učenec Pierre. Marie zůstává ve Francii a začíná pracovat na výzkumu radioaktivity, který bude přínosem nejen pro fyziku, ale i pro medicínu.

An impressive and though-provoking collection from GRAMMY nominated artist and poet Courtney Marie Andrews.With the same vulnerability and timelessness as her debut collection Old Monarch, Love Is a Dog That Bites When It’s Scared acknowledges the layers to our feelings, experiences, and humanity. Inspired by her own life, Courtney Marie Andrews speaks gently to love and its many layers.

A biographic novel that captures the tempestuous and moving life of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva. The life of Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941) coincided with turbulent years in Russian history. She was an eminent Russian poet and a passionate lover involved with several men at the same time, including Rilke, who chose Lou Andreas-Salomé over her, and Pasternak, who married someone else, but protected her until her death. Her life included many trials such as her poverty during the grueling Russian civil war, her young daughter’s death from hunger in an orphanage, and the death of her husband, who fought against the Communist regime and was executed by the Soviet state. Rejected by official poets, then by the wealthy Russian diaspora in France, she finally returned to her country to end her wandering life. She hanged herself from a rope in an attic from which she could see the field where she had dug with bare hands for potatoes abandoned by local farmers. A poet-martyr of the Stalinist era—buried in an unmarked plot in the cemetery of Yelabuga—Tsvetaeva is brought to life in this poetic biographical novel by celebrated Lebanese author Vénus Khoury-Ghata.
