Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout

Author: Lauren Redniss



This book is like no-other that I have read. To say that it is "illustrated" would not do it justice. Each and every page is a work of art. And the author has even made use of a special printing process that brings out the radioactivity in the Curies lives. It is a short book that chronicles the history of the Curies and their offspring. Most of the stories are in the form of quotes that are contained in a page or two. After reading this, you will have a deeper appreciation of the impact that the Curies discovery have had on our lives and will get to know them a little better.
