Marie Curie was modern science’s first Doc Star. After her husband died, she continued their research with the obstinacy of a weed and, in 1910, finally isolated radium in its pure state (radium is toxic and, like being in a dark closet with an angry bee, it’ll get you eventually). This book is her collected papers, and for her effort she won the 1911 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
