Santiago vea las cosas diferente

Santiago Ramn y Cajals father, the village doctor, wants Santiago to be a doctor. He discourages his willful sons love and aptitude for art. But drawing and painting are as necessary to Santiago as breathing, so when his father confiscates his art supplies, the boy finds a way to draw in secret. He draws on doors, gates, and walls, and to the neighbors, his drawings are a nuisance. But Santiago sees things differently. Hes an artist and always will be, evenafterhe grows up and becomes a doctor. And art helps him discover what no one else could: branching connections within the nervous system. Debut author Christine Iversons vivid text evokes Santiagos pioneering nature, while Luciano Lozanos stunning visual narrative incorporates his actual art, including remarkable drawings of neural pathways. A self-portrait, facts about neurons, and the science behind Santiago Ramn y Cajals 1906 Nobel Prize for Medicine round out this brilliant account of a boy who shaped his scientific fateasan artist.
