"Boasting 20 profiles of extraordinary women in STEM across thousands of years, plus 12 experiments, this stylishly-illustrated treasure should be in every school library."
Part of the innovative STEM Stories series, Eurek-HER! presents 20 inspirational profiles of trailblazing female inventors and scientists who’ve done transformational work in the fields of STEM across time and around the globe, from ancient Mesopotamia, to 20th-century India and present-day Kenya and Nigeria.
Elegantly illustrated by Nur Ventura, this beautiful book has tremendous pick-me-up appeal, with Frances Durkin’s lucid, lively text perfectly-pitched for 7+ year-olds. Mention must also be made of the book’s design – the pages are laid-out with boxes highlighting and breaking down scientific facts and innovations, and fascinating details about the women’s journeys of discovery. For example, Nobel Prize winner Bibha Chowdhuri role a mule up the Himalayas to conduct ground-breaking cloud chamber experiments.
From Tapputi Belatekallim’s chemistry innovations that led to the invention of perfume in ancient Mesopotamia, through to Tu Youyou’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of a life-saving malaria treatment in 1972, Eurek-HER! is 100% illuminating and inspiring, with twelve experiments making it easy for budding scientists and inventors to embark on their own voyages of discovery.
