E = mc². A world-changing equation and a wild head of hair are all most of us know about one of history's greatest minds, despite his being a household name in his lifetime and an icon in ours. But while the broad outlines of what Einstein did are well known, who he was remained hidden from view to most, even his closest friends. This is the story of a scientist who made many mistakes, and even when he wanted to be proven wrong, was often right in the end. It's a story of a humanist who struggled to connect with people. And it's a story of a reluctant revolutionary who paid a high price for living with a single dream. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Based on the true story of soccer legend Mia Hamm, Mia and Friends tells the empowering story of a group of young women who became as close as sisters on the soccer field, eventually making history at the 1999 Women's World Cup! Despite being named after a famous ballerina, little Mia Hamm never cared for pirouettes. Instead, she chased the ball: the baseball, the basketball, and especially the soccer ball. She was often the only girl in the game until, at age fifteen, she stepped onto the soccer field as part of the US Women's National Team. All around her, young women tackled and dribbled, passed and kicked, scored and screamed. They were just like her - but even more skilled. For Mia to improve, she had to play up to the levels of Michelle Akers, Briana Scurry, Brandi Chastain, and so many others. She was determined not to let her team down!
