Publisher's Synopsis

A fresh retelling of the life and work of the great scientist, Marie Curie, looks at not only her work with radioactivity that won her two Nobel Prizes, but also her perfection of the mobile X-ray unit that was used during World War I, and the effects that radium has had in world culture, including its exploitation and sad misuse.
