La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología.

Einsteins Ruhm ist zwischen Größe und Unverständlichkeit. Zwar ist er einer der wichtigsten Denker des Jahrhunderts und doch versteht kaum jemand, was er eigentlich gefunden hat. Einstein kann - in Funktion und Größe korrespondierend - als Gesprächspartner von Isaac Newton aufgefasst werden: Newton entdeckt in jungen Jahren dreierlei: das Gravitationsgesetz, die Differentialgleichung und die Spektralanalyse des Lichts. Mit etwa vierzig Jahren gelingt ihm die Theorie über den Aufbau der klassischen Mechanik. Bei Einstein hat man ebenfalls drei große theoretische Würfe.

Autobiografia Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie to rzeczowa relacja z życia dwukrotnej laureatki nagrody Nobla. Autorka stawia na odtworzenie faktów, dzielenie się swoimi przemyśleniami, unikając przy tym górnolotnych słów i wygładzonej autokreacji. Jej opowieść daleka jest od stawiania sobie pomnika i budowania mitu. Skłodowska jako pisarka nie przestaje nigdy być naukowcem. Publikacja maluje obraz lat dzieciństwa i dorastania w Polsce w czasach zaborów. Odtwarza późniejsze życie obdarzonej wybitnym umysłem emigrantki, która za sprawą pracowitości i konsekwencji zostaje wybitną uczoną.

Matemáticos, físicos e químicos protagonizam as narrativas deste livro, no qual o chileno Benjamín Labatut reconta a história de quatro descobertas científicas que abalaram profundamente a humanidade e o mundo à sua volta. Valendo-se de recursos da ficção, o autor lança os leitores em meio às biografias conturbadas de cientistas como Schrödinger, Einstein, Heisenberg e outros, e assim revela as inquietudes existenciais, os dilemas éticos, as tragédias históricas e os meandros impressionantes pelos quais essas figuras – e a própria ciência – passaram.

Cartea lui e și nu e autobiografie, e și nu e joc, e și nu e puzzle. După cinci decenii în care existența aproape că i s-a confundat cu jucăria logică 3D pe care a creat-o din pură curiozitate, Rubik privește în urmă și scrie onest, cu emoție și un strop de umor, despre ce înseamnă să te lași sedus de frumusețea unei probleme, să jubilezi în fața eleganței sau a gingășiei sale, despre cum joaca e unul dintre cele mai serioase lucruri din lume, despre arta de a pune întrebări, despre cum nu complexitatea, ci abia simplitatea e un mister.

Long before the world began seeking STEM - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - education for girls, American Maria Mitchell proved that women were capable of achieving worldwide acclaim for brilliant reasoning and discoveries. Born to a Quaker family in 1818 Nantucket, Mitchell had opportunities unavailable to other girls of the time. The Quakers believed boys and girls should be educated, so Maria attended public schools. She also had the benefit of her father's tutelage. At an early age, she loved to perform the complex navigational computations requested by sailors.

“I am opposed to heart disease and cancer the way one is opposed to sin.” With that as her battle cry, health activist and philanthropist Mary Woodard Lasker had a singular goal: saving lives by increasing medical research. Together with her husband, advertising genius Albert, they created the Lasker Foundation, bestowing the Lasker Awards. But the real increase in medical research funding occurred when Mary discovered a revolutionary source: the federal government. “I’m just a catalytic agent,” she would insist, while she tirelessly lobbied Congress and presidents alike.
