This intimate memoir of the Nobel laureate, written by his wife and lab partner, analyzes the nature and significance of the Curies' experiments. In addition to a biographical profile, it features accounts of the couple's scientific contemporaries and Marie Curie's autobiographic notes of her own work with radiation. A delightful book. -- The New York Times

"Pioneering scientist and winner of two Nobel Prizes Marie Curie (1867-1934) describes in this interesting firsthand account the painstaking laboratory research that led to her discovery of radium and other radioactive substances. This groundbreaking work in the area of natural radioactivity, done in partnership with her husband, Pierre Curie, proved to be an important milestone in understanding the structure of matter." "Tragically, her many years of close work with radioactive substances eventually had deleterious health consequences and she died of leukemia. This story of her work, told in her own words, reveals a courageous and dedicated scientist who gave everything for the advance of science."--BOOK JACKET

Madam Curie, best kjent som dobbelt nobelprisvinner for oppdagelser innen fysikk og kjemi, kastet seg ut i et nytt kunnskaps- og virkeområdet under første verdenskrig: radiologien. Hun så røntgenfotografiets lysende potensiale for å diagnostisere de såredes skader og lokalisere fremmedlegemer. Uselvisk og med utrettelig energi skaffet hun til veie kjøretøy som kunne utstyres som ambulerende "røntgeninstitutt" og fikk dem kjørt til fronten (ofte satt hun selv bak rattet), lærte opp personell, utesket alle metodens mulige bruksområder. Resultatet var raskere og langt mer effektiv behandling. I 1921 utga hun denne boken om røntgenfotograferingens epokegjørende bruk under ekstreme forhold. Hun gir også til kjenne sine store håp for fremtidens anvendelse av røntgenstrålene - kanskje vil de en dag kunne kurere kreft? Boken er illustrert med fotografier og tegninger. Datteren Eva Curie Labouisse har skrevet et forord til den norske utgaven

"The facts are amazing, both the life story and the ... science: how Curie overcame discrimination against women and came from Poland to study at the Sorbonne; how she and her husband, Pierre, launched the nuclear age when they identified radium, a discovery for which they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. After his death Marie became the first female professor in France and won a second Nobel Prize, for chemistry, in 1911. Best of all are the final pages that take excerpts from notes that concluded her 1923 biography of her husband"--Booklist
