She is still the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer ingenuity extended far beyond the laboratory walls; grieving the death of her husband, Pierre, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproaching Marie Curie from a unique angle, Sobel navigates her remarkable discoveries and fame alongside the women who became her legacy – from Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch and France’s Marguerite Perry, who discovered the element francium, to her own daughter, Irene, a Nobel Prize winner in her own right. The Elements of Marie Curie deftly illuminates the trailblazing life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Readers Warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44148127858803,"sku":"9780008536923","price":265.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/813K0zBo7mL._SY466.jpg?v=1765434716","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9780008536923","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
