Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A detail-rich picture book.” —Kirkus Reviews “Straightforward and inviting.” —School Library Journal From award-winning author Lesa Cline-Ransome and acclaimed illustrator Raúl Colón comes the sensitive, informative, and inspiring picture book biography of the remarkable mathematician Katherine Johnson, one of the NASA “human computers” whose work was critical to the first US space launch. Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or astronauts walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers” used their knowledge, pencils, adding machines, and writing paper to calculate the orbital mechanics needed to launch spacecraft. Katherine Johnson was one of these mathematicians who used trajectories and complex equations to chart the space program. Even as Virginia’s Jim Crow laws were in place in the early 1950s, Katherine worked analyzing data at the NACA (later NASA) Langley laboratory. In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Katherine Johnson was called upon and John Glenn said “get the girl” (Katherine Johnson) to run the numbers by hand to chart the complexity of the orbital flight. He knew that his flight couldn’t work without her unique skills. President Barack Obama awarded Katherine Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and her incredible life inspired the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Get to know this incredible and inspirational woman with this beautifully illustrated picture book from an award-winning duo.

Download or read book Counting Stars written by Braelyn Wilson and published by Braelyn Wilson. This book was released on 2022-08-20 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the age of four, Brantley Thornton has spent her childhood being entirely engrossed with the magical entity of stars, all because of her beloved mother whom she praised the ground she walked on. Her mother passed away from cancer three years ago, and with her gone, Brantley had completely lost herself and all that she once was, and fell into a severe hole of depression. A case so far from minor, even though she claims it's normal to feel like this. Normal to want to leave this world behind and wade in the stars for eternity alongside her mother. That it was a contribution to her belief. Caspian Marks is obsessed with being a know-it-all, and is driven by an insatiable desire to learn; wanting to know everything the Earth consists of, through and out. Beyond ambitious, he is, and he believes, more than anything, that everyone is capable of being saved, no matter how damaged and far gone beyond repair. He's made it his lifetime wish to help restore humanity and broken souls. When Caspian Marks meets Brantley Thornton, despite his life purpose, he allows himself to fall in love with a girl who is unsalvageable and unfixable, putting him hard at work, and putting his heart at stake. And when Brantley Thornton meets Caspian Marks and he attempts to mend her soul, what will she do when her morals, pride, and beliefs will not allow her to pursue him when he is trying to give her the world; the same world she is trying to leave behind?
Download or read book Counting by 7s written by Holly Goldberg Sloan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller In the tradition of Out of My Mind, Wonder, and Mockingbird, this is an intensely moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family. Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn’t kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now. Suddenly Willow’s world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read. * “Willow's story is one of renewal, and her journey of rebuilding the ties that unite people as a family will stay in readers' hearts long after the last page.”—School Library Journal starred review * “A graceful, meaningful tale featuring a cast of charming, well-rounded characters who learn sweet—but never cloying—lessons about resourcefulness, community, and true resilience in the face of loss.”—Booklist starred review * “What sets this novel apart from the average orphan-finds-a-home book is its lack of sentimentality, its truly multicultural cast (Willow describes herself as a “person of color”; Mai and Quang-ha are of mixed Vietnamese, African American, and Mexican ancestry), and its tone. . . . Poignant.”—The Horn Book starred review "In achingly beautiful prose, Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a delightful tale of transformation that’s a celebration of life in all its wondrous, hilarious and confounding glory. Counting by 7s is a triumph."—Maria Semple, author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette
Download or read book Counting Stars written by Kye Yong-muk and published by Literature Translation Institute of Korea. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Counting Stars” was first published in 1946 in the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper. The story is set in post-liberation Seoul, and captures a contemporary perspective on the tremendous upheavals taking place in Korean society at that time. The main character and his mother have returned from Manchuria to find that Korea has radically changed in their absence. Landing in Incheon, they discover that the 38th parallel prevents them from returning to their old home in the north, while the influx of returnees makes it impossible for them to find a house in Seoul. The relations between people have changed, and the main character soon realizes that society has entered into a state of silent war with itself: an emotional war that prefigures the fratricidal hostilities that would erupt on the Korean peninsula less than four years later.
