  Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

  Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
  An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
  When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
  Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.

  Euclid: The Life and Legacy of...

  Of the many mathematical advances made by the Greeks, none rival those established by Euclid of Alexandria, who likely remains the most famous ancient mathematician despite the fact little is actually known about his life. He revolutionized geometry, mathematics, and astronomy in Alexandria, Egypt, around 300 BCE, yet left almost no clues about his life story. Historians know he was a trailblazing mathematician and dabbled in astronomy because he wrote many books on these topics, and a 13-book treatise of his has survived, along with four other books. Thus, it’s clear what Euclid learned and knew, but virtually nothing is known about how his life unfolded or what he was like as a person.  
  	To this day for many students, geometry class was the first time discovering that mathematics is more than calculating numbers. Some may have expected to study shapes, sizes, positions, and the properties of space, but perhaps for the first time, a geometry class required proving why the calculations were true through rigorous, logical arguments using definitions, postulates, and theorems. For countless students, it is excruciating, while others find it fascinating. Either way, the person to thank (or blame) for that is Euclid.  
  	Often called the “Father of Geometry,” Euclid’s influence is so pervasive that his book, The Elements, was the primary math manual for over 2,000 years. It was not a “textbook” in the modern sense, as it did not have problem sets, word problems, or diagrams for practice, but it was a foundational reference and logical guide that students had to read, memorize, and demonstrate. In both the Western and Islamic worlds, Euclid’s Elements was the standard geometry text for almost every educated person until the 19th century.

  Insulin - A Hundred-Year History

  In 1922, researchers made one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the century: insulin. Their discovery seemed miraculous. When it was given to diabetic patients on the brink of death, their condition rapidly improved. 
   
   
   
  However, this was no simple cure. Injections must be taken for life. Without them, symptoms quickly return, often with fatal results. But while a lifetime on insulin poses great challenges, it also offers opportunities. In this revelatory history, Stuart Bradwel looks back on one of medicine's most celebrated innovations. Setting professional narrative against subjective patient experience, he tells the story of a drug that has challenged many of the basic assumptions upon which medical practice is built, both inside and outside the clinic. 
   
   
   
  Nevertheless, Bradwel reminds us that the centenary of this apparent "wonder drug" should be no cause for celebration. Insulin often remains inaccessible to those who need it most: elusive prescriptions, uneven availability and sky-high prices result in rationing and desperate do-it-yourself research and development. In the face of bootstraps rhetoric and "Pharma Bro" capitalists, patients across the world are left to fend for themselves. There is a long way to go in the twenty-first century until insulin truly fulfills the extraordinary promises made by its discovery.
