The Curies and Radioactivity
In 1898, Marie and Pierre Curie discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. These discoveries were important, but even more important was their investigation of the radioactivity that these two elements demonstrated. This book traces the scientists' stories, covering matters as varied as Pierre's early experiments in magnetism and Marie's work in World War I. Young readers will be inspired by the couple's many accomplishments.

Book Review: The Curies and Radioactivity"...Lin dispenses with style; resulting in a dry, if admirably coherent, take on a number of difficult concepts. Photographs are prevalent and often the captions do a nice job of bringing home the significance of the information... A time line highlights the strong back matter."
