The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great divider for outside privacy also
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel
This divider fit the bill as far as a solution for privacy between houses. I’ve had it for over a year and it’s held up very well. So well, and I’m adding another one on the other side of the property. Easily put up and in this case, I just attached it with bungee cords to keep it from blowing over in the wind. Very well-made and attractive.

Stylish and very functional for a primary bathroom
Color: C. Black, Color: C. Black
I installed these shelves in my primary bathroom and I’m very happy with the result. The design is clean and modern, and it helps keep the space organized without looking cluttered. I really like the combination of the solid shelf and the wire basket—it’s perfect for storing towels, toilet paper, and a few decorative items.
The materials feel sturdy and well made, not cheap or flimsy. Installation was straightforward and didn’t require anything complicated. It definitely upgraded the look of my bathroom and made better use of the vertical space.
Great option for a primary bathroom if you want both function and style. I would recommend it.
