A must-purchase picture book biography of a figure sure to inspire awe and admiration among readers.--School Library Journal (starred review)
Extraordinary illustrations and lyrical text present pioneering African American scientist Ernest Everett Just.
Ernest Everett Just was not like other scientists of his time. He saw the whole, where others saw only parts. He noticed details others failed to see. He persisted in his research despite the discrimination and limitations imposed on him as an African American. His keen observations of sea creatures revealed new insights about egg cells and the origins of life.
Through stunning illustrations and lyrical prose, this picture book presents the life and accomplishments of this long overlooked scientific pioneer.
"Kutoka kwa kitabu cha picha cha ""Biography of a Figure Sure to Inspire awe and Admiration Among Readers"" (School Library Journal) na ""The Pioneering African American Scientist Ernest Everett Just"" (School Library Journal) ni kitabu cha kuvutia sana." Ernest Everett Just hakuwa kama wanasayansi wengine wa wakati wake. Aliona mambo yote, ambapo wengine waliona sehemu tu. Aliona mambo madogo-madogo ambayo wengine walishindwa kuona. Aliendelea na utafiti wake licha ya ubaguzi na vizuizi vilivyomlazimisha kuwa Mmarekani wa Kiafrika. Uchunguzi wake wa kina wa viumbe wa baharini ulifunua mambo mapya kuhusu chembe za mayai na chanzo cha uhai. Kwa kutumia picha zenye kuvutia na mashairi yenye kuvutia, kitabu hiki chenye picha huonyesha maisha na mafanikio ya mwanasayansi huyo wa kwanza ambaye amepuuzwa kwa muda mrefu.
