Dieses Buch beschreibt in farbigen und schwarz-weißen Bildern das Leben von "Marie Curie" und ihre Forschungen: "Marie Curie war eine Wissenschaftlerin, die sich wahrhaftig für ihre Arbeit opferte. Sie hätte durch den Verkauf ihrer Forschungsergebnisse und Entdeckungen reich werden können. Aber sie zog es vor, in einer gewöhnlichen Umgebung zu leben und zu arbeiten, damit die Menschheit von den Ergebnissen ihrer Forschungen profitieren konnte. Curie kämpfte von den frühen Jahren ihres Lebens an darum, als Frau in einer von Männern dominierten Welt anerkannt zu werden. Sie war in allen wissenschaftlichen Bereichen herausragend und konnte einen Abschluss in Physik und zwei weitere Abschlüsse in Mathematik erwerben. Curie erlangte vor allem durch ihre Forschung im Bereich der Radioaktivität und ihre Arbeit an Röntgentechnologie Berühmtheit. Sie war die erste Person, die sowohl Polonium als auch Radium isolieren konnte, und eine der wenigen Wissenschaftlerinnen, die zweimal den Nobelpreis gewann."

Ally arrives from England with her brothers to stay for a month in Africa - weeks of running wild on an unspoiled, untamed coast amid mangrove creeks, vast white sandy beaches, coral reefs and warm seas. But on their first walk through the forest to the beach, Ally is swamped by a sense of an unseen presence close to her - of being spoken to. The feeling increases as a local teenager, Leli enthusiastically sweeps her into the world of his village and their offshore island (Kisiri - the place of secrets). It's the beginning of a friendship that swiftly becomes an intense, overwhelming bond between them. Kisiri is a place of local legend, protected and feared: village youngsters dare each other to go there. Village elders forbid it. Ally and Leli feel drawn to it, and land on its shores. At once Ally feels again that invisible presence, a whispered voice. But fear can change things, divide people. The bond between Ally and Leli feels unbreakable. But suddenly everything, everyone, conspires to drive a wedge between them. She is, after all, an outsider - a visitor, no more. Only weeks away, she will leave for England, simply walk away, never to return, how can she possibly share, or help?

Marie Curie was the scientist who discovered radium nearly a hundred years ago. It was a discovery that changed the world: doctors were later able to help people with cancer and scientists came to know about the atom.

Günümüzde kadınların bilim insanı olması artık çok rastlanan bir durum -bu alanda çok iyi olmaları da!
