Review # 2 was written on 2018-02-01 00:00:00 Jennifer Boyce Unquestionably the name Madame Curie is legendary. But how exactly does a thirtysomething, turn of the century scientist discover radium and polonium? Radioactive Substances is the PhD thesis of Marie Skłodowska Curie's research at the Sorbonne. An intellectually and scientifically intimidating read, however it's worth the endeavor. Mme Curie recounts each experiment and her finding with illuminating detail. Subsequent to reading this insightful thesis, one is able to grasp at just how groundbreaking Mme Curie's work truly was.
