Radioactive: A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss

Like new, gift-able condition, used for shelf stock photography in my home library, never read or handled much. Stocking stuffer for the bare coffee tables, and the art & science fans. The front cover GLOWS in the dark. Bundle & save with other beautiful well-kept reads from my pretty home library. “In the century since the Curies began their work, we've struggled with nuclear weapons proliferation, debated the role of radiation in medical treatment, and pondered nuclear energy as a solution to climate change. In Radioactive, Lauren Redniss links these contentious questions to a love story in 19th Century Paris. Radioactive draws on Redniss's original reporting in Asia, Europe and the United States, her interviews with scientists, engineers, weapons specialists, atomic bomb survivors, and Marie and Pierre Curie's own granddaughter. Whether young or old, scientific novice or expert, no one will fail to be moved by Lauren Redniss's eerie and wondrous evocation of one of history's most intriguing figures.”
