Learning about art through the ages has never been as interesting or fun as in this humorous and very informative graphic novel. As two kids give their grandpa a tour of Paris, he starts an interesting conversation with them--about where all the art they see in their lives--from the movie house to the stadiums to museums and even the subway-- started. Dad's impromptu history lesson goes back to the first Cavemen drawings to the pyramids of Giza, and by the end of the book includes Greco-Roman feats of ingenuity and the frescoes of the Renaissance. Recounted as a narrative about why different civilizations created different kinds of art, centuries of art history are explored entertainingly for young readers. Iconic works, such as Donatello's David and The Book of Kells, are included as well as architectural feats like the Colosseum. Written by a tour guide for museums and historic landmarks, the text is designed to entertain (with many funny asides and jokes) as it informs. The illustrations accurately portray the art and the artists described, with flavor and humor added to keep readers turning the page.

L'œuvre scientifique de Marie Curie, double lauréate du prix Nobel, est indissociable de son histoire personnelle. Elle incarne aujourd'hui la recherche désintéressée et la place des femmes en science. Au-delà du mythe, cet ouvrage propose une vision plus humaine de Marie Curie, liée à Pierre Curie et à ses deux filles. Sa passion pour la recherche était alimentée par le plaisir qu'elle y trouvait. En tant que physicienne, elle a établi des bases quantitatives sur le rayonnement de l'uranium avant de se consacrer à la "chimie de l'impondérable" après la découverte du radium. En tant qu'enseignante, elle s'adressait à divers publics, convaincue que chacun pouvait comprendre l'importance de la science. Créatrice et directrice de l'Institut du Radium, elle a fait de cet établissement un centre de recherche majeur entre les deux guerres, notamment pour le traitement du cancer. "Je pense que la science a une grande beauté", affirmait-elle. Cet ouvrage, qui célèbre le 150e anniversaire de sa naissance, illustre les différentes étapes de sa vie à travers des photographies inédites, des documents de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France et des lettres échangées avec ses proches. Marion Augustin, l'auteure, a bénéficié du soutien du Musée Curie pour valoriser ce patrimoine exceptionnel, offrant ainsi une source de réflexion et d'inspiration. Hélène Langevin-Joliot, petite-fille de Pierre et Marie Curie, souligne l'importance de cet hérit
