Krátky popis
Dava Sobel, acclaimed and bestselling author of Longitude,
chronicles the life and work of the most famous woman in the
history of science – and the untold story of the young women who
trained in her laboratory. ‘A fresh and feminist study of the
pioneering Nobel laureate reveals her impact on the women she
mentored and set on the path to prominence’ Observer ‘It is a novel
lens through which to view Curie’s story, and Sobel paints her tale
with characteristic deftness and eloquence’ Financial Times For
decades Marie Curie was the only woman in the room at international
scientific gatherings, and despite constant illness she travelled
far and wide to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she
coined. She is still the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two
scientific fields.Her ingenuity extended far beyond the laboratory
walls, grieving the death of her husband, Pierre, she took his
place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two
daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the
front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and inspired
generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.
Approaching Marie Curie from a unique angle, Sobel navigates her
remarkable discoveries and fame alongside the women who became her
legacy – from Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch and France’s Marguerite
Perry, who discovered the element francium, to her own daughter,
Irene, a Nobel Prize winner in her own right. The Elements of Marie
Curie deftly illuminates the trailblazing life and enduring
influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.‘A
lucid, literate biography, celebrating a scientific exemplar who,
for all her fame, deserves to be better known’ Kirkus ‘As expected
from a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sobel writes beautifully and with
clarity about the science that Curie specialised in, making clear
the achievements that her lab brought about’ Daily Mail ‘This is an
essential read, capturing both [Curie's] genius and her legacy’ New
Scientist ‘Sobel’s book is a luminous and illuminating contribution
to the cause’ Literary Review
