Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss

5.0

This was a beautiful book about Marie and Pierre Curie and their discoveries of each other and of radioactivity.

Interspersed through the love stories are brutally objective accounts of the devastation brought about by those same discoveries.

This book is gorgeously illustrated and laid out -- like a picture book for adults. Because of it's size (not page count) it's better read at home than lugged on a train or to an appointment.
