This is a fanciful tale of follicle mites that just happen to be living in the left eyebrow of Charles Darwin himself. To the mites, their host Darwin is a god, known as Flycatcher, and stories of his mighty ocean-spewing, world-creating powers have been handed down from generation to generation...of eyebrow mites. Upon hearing of their colorfully explained misunderstanding of who he actually is, Darwin sets the mites straight...after he convinces himself that the curious voices in his head are just ordinary voices...in his eyebrow. A humorous series of illustrated lessons in natural selection and evolution ensues and a warm-hearted story, and history lesson, about one of the greatest naturalists of all time unfolds with it.

In this engaging and inspiring biography, a groundbreaking but relatively unknown woman finally gets her due as one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century.
Emmy Noether is not pretty, quiet, good at housework or eager to marry — all the things a German girl is expected to be in her time. What she is, though, is a genius at math. When she grows up, she finds a way to first study math at a university (by sitting in, not actually enrolling) and then to teach it (by doing so for free). She also manages to do her own research into some of the most pressing math and physics problems of the day. And though she doesn’t get much credit during her lifetime, her discoveries continue to influence how we understand the world today.
