The extraordinary true story of four women pioneers in physics during World War II and their daring escape out of Nazi Germany

In the 1930s, Germany was a hotbed of scientific thought. But after the Nazis took power, Jewish and female citizens were forced out of their academic positions. Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer and Hildegard Stücklen were eminent in their fields, but they had no choice but to flee due to their Jewish ancestry or anti-Nazi sentiments.

Their harrowing journey out of Germany became a life-and-death situation that required Herculean efforts of friends and other prominent scientists. Lise fled to Sweden, where she made a groundbreaking discovery in nuclear physics, and the others fled to the United States, where they brought advanced physics to American universities. No matter their destination, each woman revolutionized the field of physics when all odds were stacked against them, galvanizing young women to do the same.

Well researched and written with cinematic prose, Sisters in Science brings these trailblazing women to life and shows us how sisterhood and scientific curiosity can transcend borders and persist--flourish, even--in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

The first English-language collection of short stories by award-winning Peruvian author Edgardo Rivera Martínez

The stories in Marayrasu stage fantastical, mysterious encounters that belie the characters' often harsh economic and political realities as they seek belonging in modern Peru through art, music, and relationships. Depicted in poetic prose, these characters are loners, orphans, and outcasts experiencing quiet, tender encounters with other people and animals, the creative arts, and the land they find themselves depending on. Living vibrantly within these stories, the leviathan of Inca lore considers its own form, a young boy moves to a mining town and gets involved with a local union leader's fight for worker rights while feeling the powerful pull of a large mountain overlooking the town, and a Persian cat captures the attention of a family down on its luck. Amy Olen's translation smoothly captures Rivera Martínez's impressive stories, offering a unique lens into the region at the heart of this canonical author's inimitable work.

It's about time a thorough, hands-on restoration book has been authored by authorities who know the Beetle like the back of their hands. With this book, you will have everything you need to bring your old or new Beetle project back to life.

Perhaps the most charismatic automobile ever, the Volkswagen Beetle was the longest-running, most-manufactured automobile on a single platform of all time. From 1938 to 2003, more than 21.5 million "Bugs" were assembled, distributed, and sold on nearly every continent in the world.

Throughout the Beetle's successful run, many of these cars have been relegated to project car status due to their age or condition. Airkooled Kustoms, a VW restoration shop in Hazel Green, Alabama, brings its expertise in restoring these cars to book form with this all-encompassing compilation. Restoring your Beetle is covered through step-by-step sequences from unbolting that first nut through polishing the paint on your freshly restored Bug. The specialists at Airkooled Kustoms walk you through the proper disassembly methods, restoring versus replacing components, and reassembling your restored Bug, covering everything related to the body, undercarriage, and interior along the way.

"Jessica R. Patch weaves a dark, twisty tapestry that's both unsettling and unexpectedly hopeful. Masterful." -New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan

She bought this house to save her marriage. Unearthing its secrets might just claim her life.

Gwen McDaniel's life is broken. But she knows the perfect place to fix it. Cold Harbor, Maine, an idyllic small town with views of Acadia National Park, is where she used to vacation with her parents as a child. Here, she and Steven can start over, renovating their cliff-side fixer-upper while patching up their marriage. Soon, everything will be better.

Except from the moment they arrive, Gwen sees and hears things, and it's more than just the drafts and shadows that are part of any old house. Steven downplays her fears, warning her not to fixate on problems as she has in the past. But Gwen spent years as a homicide detective, and her instincts don't lie. Something happened here. Proof comes when she rips up the attic's carpet to discover a chilling message carved into the wood underneath.

As Gwen delves into the history of the house and the Cold Harbor community, she begins to piece the fragments together. And gradually, a terrifying picture emerges: A missing girl. A house of horrors. And a dark, decades-old nightmare that is more haunting than Gwen ever imagined...

Discover the eye-opening story of the first woman student at MIT--a pioneering environmental chemist sure to inspire the next generation of female trailblazers in science.

Ellen Swallow found a friend in nature and a lifelong love of science as a child exploring the woods around her family's home. She was a voracious learner with an interest in chemistry, and continuing her education at the newly established Massachusetts Institute of Technology seemed a good fit. But in 1871, many believed that women belonged in the home, not in schools dedicated to the study of science. Ellen thought, why not both? She believed science could help solve the problems of everyday life, including the pollution she observed in Boston, so when offered the chance to study the city's water systems, she seized it. What she found would change the way we think about clean water. In her lifetime, Ellen pioneered science education for women, advocated for a healthier environment, and helped develop the field of ecology. The Girl Who Tested the Waters, with engaging text and soft, inviting illustrations, portrays a woman ahead of her time and her tireless efforts to bring about change for good. Curious readers can find more in the back matter, including a time line, an author's note, source notes, and a bibliography.

What if the dastardly duo started returning library books late on purpose? Or borrowing markers without asking? Everyone knows it's a swift downhill slide from there--as long as there's an unprotected piggy bank in town! Unless, of course, their best attempts at mastering bad deeds are strangely misconstrued . . . Author Megan McDonald brings her quick wit and ear for dialogue, matched by Scott Nash's deft animal characterizations, to a hilarious caper of criminal intentions gone awry.

An encouraging math picture book about timed tests, confidence, and learning differently

Max is convinced he's terrible at math. Every time his teacher starts the timer for multiplication facts, the same thing happens: his heart pounds, his hands sweat, and his mind freezes. One by one, his classmates finish and turn in their papers. Max is always the last. Sometimes he still has problems left undone. And when a classmate starts chanting "Max, Max, last in math," it feels even worse.

But here's the surprising truth: Max isn't bad at math at all.

When a parent-teacher conference reveals that Max has been secretly solving algebra problems for fun, everyone begins to see what the timer had been hiding. Max doesn't struggle with understanding numbers--he struggles with memorizing under pressure. He's a deep thinker, a problem solver, and maybe even a future math team star, as long as there's one condition: No timer.

Part of the Adventures of Everyday Geniuses series, this uplifting and relatable picture book gently explores:

• Math anxiety and timed-test stress
• The difference between memorizing and understanding
• Teasing and self-doubt
• Growth mindset and hidden strengths
• Celebrating different learning styles

Perfect for ages 4-8, classrooms, and families, this empowering story reassures children that being "last" doesn't mean being "least." Sometimes it just means you learn in your own way--and that way might be extraordinary.

Because not everyone learns the same way...and that's more than okay.

An inspiring and practical guide to give you the confidence to draw like you.

Drawing helps you see. The more you draw, the more you look, and the more your world opens up.

Many of us feel we can't draw even though as children we drew unselfconsciously. Artist Sam Marshall believes we are all inherently creative and through her book she invites you into a welcoming workshop where you will develop techniques to help you maintain a regular drawing practice. This is not a 'how to draw' book but an encouraging project guide that will support you to sketch and be creative in your own way.

The book starts with a series of warm-up exercises and then leads into a set of challenges divided into chapters that increase in complexity from drawing at home and in green spaces to drawing from paintings. It concludes with a series of more advanced exercises including collage as a means of drawing and working on larger imaginative pieces.

Sam suggests the use of a variety of materials including coloured pencils, felt tips, inks and marker pens. For each exercise she presents her own drawings and observations as well as those from a select group of her students to show that everyone's mark making is unique.

This is an inspirational guide that will change the way you think and feel about drawing. It will help you to discover the joy of drawing in a sketchbook as a way of looking, reflecting and relaxing.

Bestselling author of the Ranger in Time series Kate Messner continues with the third book in this fun, science-based series about a family dedicated to rescuing animals.

Ana and Sofia's cousins Ivy and Ezra volunteer for the local wildlife hospital as "critter couriers", helping transport injured and orphaned animals so they can get medical help.

Ana has always followed in her twin's footsteps, but ever since they moved to California, Ana has been wondering what it'd be like to try something new--like joining the Makers Club instead of playing volleyball again with Sofia.

Then the cousins get a call about an injured gopher tortoise that's been hit by a car. The city hasn't done anything to make crossings safer for the endangered animals, so Ivy, Ezra, Ana, and Sofia come up with a plan to do just that. Ana has never been one for the spotlight . . . but the tortoises need her!

If Ana can gather the courage to stand up for the tortoises, maybe she can be brave enough to tell Sofia that she wants to try something new.
