Underprivileged and keenly self-aware, SoCal fourteen-year-old Layla Bailey isn't used to being noticed. Except by mean girls who tweet about her ragged appearance. All she wants to do is indulge in her love of science, protect her vulnerable younger brother, and steer clear of her unstable mother. Then a school competition calls for a biome. Layla chooses her own home, a hostile ecosystem of indoor fungi and secret shame.

Gabi thought she'd advanced so far in life, but she quickly learns that she's still stuck in the same place—trapped inside a killing jar. In a desperate attempt to save herself and those she loves, she embarks on a journey to cure a strange illness, known to most as lycanthropy, and uncover the secrets of her past. With a greedy man on their tail, Gabi and her remaining companions must fight to keep their freedom and their lives. Can they outrun their pursuer and escape the killing jar before it's too late?

After a year of unsuccessful attempts to cure, Gabi and Doc find themselves alone in their quest once again. With Phillip and Kiel gone, Gabi wrestles with the life she has chosen. A number of run-ins with the worst of mankind lead her to question who the real beasts are. When tragedy strikes, Gabi is forced to either adapt her philosophy or give up the quest entirely. Her choice leads her down dark paths she never would have thought to be on, some of which take her back to a buried past she thought she had left behind.

Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Darwin, Hawking - we know the names, but how much do we really know about these people? Galileo gained notoriety over his battle with the Vatican, but did you know that this father of modern science was also an accomplished lute player? And Darwin of course discovered the principle by which new species are formed, but his bold curiosity extended to the dinner table as well. Eureka! explains how these scientific geniuses have shaped our understanding - and how they spent their free time as well.

Hamma cholga havaslanib, uni maqtovlarga ko‘mib tashlashdi. Shayman cholning boshi osmonda, ko‘kragi tog‘day ko‘tarilgan. U olim o‘g‘ilning martabasiga teng boyligi ham bor, deb ishonadi. Kenja o‘g‘lini uylantirish bahonasida olim o‘g‘lidan oylik maoshini so‘raydi. So‘raydi-yu, turgan yerida dong qotadi. Es-hushidan ayrilay deydi, umidlari yakson bo‘ladi. "Seni o‘qitguncha qancha qo‘ylarim gumdon bo‘ldi, endi olimligigdan menga nima foyda", deb peshonasiga uradi. Kamsitilgan o‘g‘il shu kuniyoq qishloqni tark etadi.
