In 1891, 24-year-old Marie Sklodowska moved from Warsaw to Paris, where she found work in the laboratory of Pierre Curie, a scientist engaged in research on heat and magnetism. They fell in love. They took their honeymoon on bicycles. They expanded the periodic table, discovering two new elements with startling properties, radium and polonium. They recognized radioactivity as an atomic property, heralding the dawn of a new scientific era. They won the Nobel Prize. Newspapers mythologized the couple's romance, beginning articles on the Curies with "Once upon a time . . . " Then, in 1906, Pierre was killed in a freak accident. Marie continued their work alone. She won a second Nobel Prize in 1911, and fell in love again, this time with the married physicist Paul Langevin. Scandal ensued. Duels were fought. In the century since the Curies began their work, we've struggled with nuclear weapons proliferation, debated the role of radiation in medical treatment, and pondered nuclear energy as a solution to climate change. In Radioactive , Lauren Redniss links these contentious questions to a love story in 19th Century Paris. Radioactive draws on Redniss's original reporting in Asia, Europe and the United States, her interviews with scientists, engineers, weapons specialists, atomic bomb survivors, and Marie and Pierre Curie's own granddaughter. Whether young or old, scientific novice or expert, no one will fail to be moved by Lauren Redniss's eerie and wondrous evocation of one of history's most intriguing figures.

一本"形式多于内容"的非主流科学家传记

科学史课的课程读物 画风比较灵性,制造出历史、虚幻与现实穿插的感觉。估计如果是静下心来细细品会有奇效(可惜我没有) 多角度展现了居里夫人的科研与私人生活,探讨了科学技术与人类社会各个维度的关系。 叙事上尽可能地展现了居里夫人人生和其科研成果带来的影响的多面性。 还行

一本精心绘制但画风有点让我难接受的人物传记。学到了很多关于居里夫人的小知识。

3.5🌟 艺术家视角非常私人的玛丽居里画传,在一些意想不到的地方突然细节。Cyanotype 太适合 Radioactive 这个主题了,翻看这本书像是发烧到迷幻,是种特别的体验。

电影《放射性物质》是根据这本书改编的。刚才关灯,发现这本书的背面封面,是夜光颜料印刷的,就那电影里居里夫人晚上拿着小荧光棒睡觉那赶脚,飘绿光啊。吓得我把书拿出了卧室。据说居里夫人的论文是全世界最危险的论文,别人是“阅后即焚”她是“阅后即死”啊!
