Description

Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) was the first woman scientist to win worldwide fame, and indeed, one of the great scientists of this century. Winner of two Nobel Prizes (for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911), she performed pioneering studies with radium and contributed profoundly to the understanding of radioactivity. The history of her story-book marriage to Pierre Curie, of their refusal to patent their processes or otherwise profit from the commercial exploitation of radium, and her tragically ironic death are legendary and well known but are here revealed from an inside perspective. But, as this book reveals, it was also true. An astonishing mind and a remarkable life are here portrayed by Marie Curie's daughter in a classic and moving account.

Hab es leider abgebrochen

Kam leider gar nicht rein. Der schreibstil war mir leider viel zu anstrengend. Ich lass es mal liegen, vielleicht lese ich es irgendwann fertig

Das Leben und Wirken von Marie Curie hat 5 Sterne verdienst. Das Buch kann das vermutlich nicht mal ansatzweise in Worte fassen.

Marie Curie was such an impressive personality, even though I already knew the key facts about her life and work, this brought it all closer, especially with the personal note as the book was written by her daughter. Of course it is biased and maybe glorified but I think in generell Marie Curie was that person that her daughter describes in the book and she did a great service to physics, medicine and women rights.
