(She and Pierre also won the prize in physics, in 1903.) As a biography, Radioactivemakes the already exciting life of Marie Curie even more exciting, relaying aspects of Curie’s life that most of us have never heard about. It is, of course, the 100th anniversary of Marie Curie’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It’s a combination that lifts the book above either graphic novel or artbook to create something new and exciting. In Radioactive, Redniss has made the narrative part of the picture, and used images to comment on, as well as illustrate, the story. It had also been described as an art book. When I first heard of Radioactive: A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss, it was billed as a graphic novel about Marie and Pierre Curie. |3 Contributor biographical information |u |a Women chemists |0 |z France |0 |v Biography. |a Presents the professional and private lives of Marie and Pierre Curie, examining their personal struggles, the advancements they made in the world of science, and the issue of radiation in the modern world. |a Symmetry - Magnetism - Fusion - White flash - Instability of matter - Half-life - Isolation - Exposure - Daughter elements.
