Are we alone in the cosmos? Could we one day live on a different
planet? How is life formed? What other secrets does the universe
hold? Through profiles of seven remarkable women scientists
and their achievements in their respective fields, Searching Beyond
the Stars takes us deep into space, looking at once to the distant
past and the distant future to capture the awe and intrigue of some
of the biggest questions we can possibly ask. Making connections
across astronomy, chemistry, physics, history, and more, Nicole
Mortillaro draws on her own experience as a woman in STEM to
highlight the incredible odds each scientist faces while chasing
new discoveries and the ways in which sexism and racism, among
other barriers, still affect women scientists to this day. Sidebars
filled with fascinating facts take readers behind the science and
encourage them to delve deeper. Vibrant illustrations by Amanda Key
showcase the wonder of space and the passion and eternal curiosity
that drive each scientist in their work unfurling the mysteries of
our universe.
