  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.
