SANTIAGO RAMON Y CAJAL ARTIST SCIENTIST TROUBLE (C: 0-1-1)(W) Hosler, Jay (A) Hosler, Jay (C) Kevin Cannon, Zander CannonMARGARET FERGUSON BOOKSStockID: 48327 SKU: JUN221724A graphic novel retelling of the inspiring true story of polymath Santiago Ramón y Cajal- visionary pioneer of modern neuroscience- and his early dreams of becoming an artist. Based on a true story- Santiago Ramón y Cajal is every child who has struggled to navigate the expectations of adults. As a young boy- all Santiago wanted to do was be an artist. But his father wanted him to become a doctor- insisting that pursuing art was not a true profession. Although Santiago was forbidden by his parents to make art- Santiago secretly kept at it-making homemade paints and brushes and honing his craftsmanship. He also loved figuring out how things worked and made slingshots for his friends and even a fully functioning (and very dangerous) cannon. Sadly- the one thing he couldn't figure out was his father. After years of locking horns- Santiago's father seemed to win- and Santiago was sent to medical school. As a medical student he discovered the wonders of how animal bodies work- and his studies eventually led him to the microscopic mysteries of the brain. Using the artistic skills he honed as a child- Santiago painted brain cells to unlock their secrets. His pursuit of art had trained him to be observant- persistent- resourceful- and creative in his research. In 1906- he won the Nobel Prize for medicine and is considered the father of modern neuroscience-proving anything is possible- even for a mischief maker.This is a PRESALE.
