<p><div>Nikola Tesla fue el científico que más inventos llegó a crear en la historia de la humanidad. Nació a mediados del siglo XIX y, con su trabajo, ayudó a modernizar el mundo con muchísimos avances basados en la electricidad. ¡A él le debemos la luz de nuestras casas! Muchos de los avances de los últimos 150 años se basan en sus inventos. No es casualidad, por ejemplo, que le hayan puesto su nombre a la marca de coches eléctricos más moderna de la actualidad.

<p><div>Lise Meitner La física que inició la era atómica En un mundo claramente dominado por los hombres, Lise Meitner se formó, investigó sin descanso y consiguió cambiar la historia de una rama de la ciencia en la que siempre fue discriminada por ser mujer. Además, sufrió la persecución de los nazis en Alemania por ser judía. Pese a todas las adversidades, logró ser una gran protagonista en el ámbito de la física y sus investigaciones dieron inicio a la era atómica. Tanto aportó a la ciencia que sin duda mereció el Premio Nobel. Sin embargo, nunca se lo concedieron.

She contributed so much to science that she undoubtedly deserved the Nobel Prize. However, she was never granted one, most likely because she was a woman working in a field previously reserved for men. She was also the protagonist of an exciting life, victim of persecutions that marked European history during the first half of the 20th century.

<p><div>Newton: The Power of Gravity This is the story of the man who tried to understand the universe, who sought to find truth in the same way a child looks for a pebble on the beach. Isaac Newton was the man who deciphered the laws of Nature, who finally understood something as fundamental as the forces of gravity, and in doing so changed our lives forever. Both the register of the narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years old.

<p><div>In his work we can perceive the influence of light--and its shadows--and the places where he has lived: from the clarity of his native Barcelona and the one that bathes the Canary Islands, where he spent a childhood marked by contact with nature. From the gloominess of Germany, the country where he was trained as an artist, to the golden luminosity of Italy, the place where he acquired maturity as a painter. It is in this contrast and tension that he walks, as if he had naturally merged the Tuscan Renaissance with the Bauhaus, connecting by means of invisible bridges with his Atlantic and Mediterranean roots. Everything Pepe Moll de Alba creates is elegant and sensual, but it is in his honesty and audacity that his modernity lies. <i>Break Old Habits</i> manages to make an autobiographical manifesto a universal theme that invites us to go deeper into ourselves, making a story that makes more sense than ever in the present moment.</div></p>

<p><div>Marie Curie A Scientist's Courage Marie Curie-Sklodowska was one of the most brilliant scientists in history and a pioneer in every possible way: she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize; the first to be a professor at the Sorbonne; the first person to be awarded twice with the Nobel Prize and, to this day, the only one who has achieved it in two different scientific areas. Despite all this recognition, she was never allowed to enter the French Academy, an obvious case of sexist discrimination. However, today we know that the importance of all her contributions to society is incalculable.
