This is a novel containing two parallel stories: a fable about Ortho the Cricket's quest to sing a World Song which transcends the traditional Cricket Song and it is also a story about Dan Lesniak's quest for artistic expression that transcends traditional painting techniques. Ortho and Dan travel different paths to same destination. Both meet obstacles on the way that hinder their quests and threaten to prevent them from achieving their life-long pursuits.
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie did more to promote women in science than perhaps any other person. Her story is one of determination. Curie studied "illegally" at Warsaw University before attending the Sorbonne in France, graduating at the top of her class. She met Pierre, a brilliant scientist, by chance. After they were married, they worked side by side, leading to the discoveries of polonium and radium as well as many other crucial scientific finds. Their pioneering work is detailed in this accessible volume full of photographs and quotes that bring the personalities of these two scientists to life.
