Pierre Curie is a unique document: the life of one Nobel laureate written by another who was his wife and collaborator. Marie Curie traces Pierre’s path from precocious student to the piezoelectricity discoveries, then the shed laboratory where together they dragged radium out of tons of pitchblende — and the street accident that ended his life at forty-six.
Restrained, precise and quietly devastating, it also contains Marie’s own autobiographical notes. Download the free EPUB for science’s greatest partnership, from the inside.
