This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a companion to the IYC-2011 celebration. The eleven chapters are organized into three sections: Section 1: Marie Curie’s Impact on Science and Society, Section 2: Women Chemists in the Past Two Centuries, and Section 3: Policy Implications. The authors invited to contribute to this book were asked to orient their chapter around a particular aspect of Marie Curie’s life such as the ethical aspects of her research, women’s role in research or her influence on the image of chemists. Our hope is that this book will positively influence young women’s minds and decisions they make in learning of chemistry/science like Marie Curie’s biography. But we do hope this book opens an avenue for young women to explore the possibility of being a scientist, or at least to appreciate chemistry as a human enterprise that has its merit in contributing to sustainability in our world. Also we hope that both men and women will realize that women are fully competent and capable of conducting creative and fascinating scientific research.

Her amazing story and groundbreaking work are the subjects of this essential volume, notable for incorporating personal documents, photographs, and other primary sources to support the details of Curie’s life. Readers will recognize the heroism of Curie in the face of great challenges. For example, women in Poland during Curie’s school years could not obtain a university degree—she had to travel to France to study. They will also appreciate how Curie’s work in X-ray technology was applied to medicine, saving the lives of millions.

She left a vast legacy to future scientists through her research, her teaching, and her contributions to the welfare of humankind. She was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, yet upon her death in 1934, Albert Einstein was moved to say, "Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted." She was a physicist, a wife and mother, and a groundbreaking professional woman. This biography is an inspirational and exciting story of scientific discovery and personal commitment. Oxford Portraits in Science is an on-going series of scientific biographies for young adults. Written by top scholars and writers, each biography examines the personality of its subject as well as the thought process leading to his or her discoveries. These illustrated biographies combine accessible technical information with compelling personal stories to portray the scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Maria Sklodowska left Warsaw for Paris in the autumn of 1891, her dream was to quickly complete university and return to her beloved Poland. Russia had controlled her homeland for decades, and Maria had determined in childhood to devote herself to the preservation of Polish culture. But her life changed in Paris. She decided to commit her life to experimental science, and she fell in love with physicist Pierre Curie. The young couple married and began to work obsessively to uncover the secrets of atomic structure. In their years together, Marie and Pierre discovered three new elements and revealed how radioactivity works. Their breakthroughs made them world famous, and Marie became the first woman awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. She won a second Nobel prize in chemistry after Pierre's premature death and became, along with Albert Einstein, one of the world's most famous scientists. Marie Curie lived a fascinating life during an exciting and tragic period of scientific discovery and political upheaval. This new biography vividly retells her story within the context of her era for a new generation of readers. Book jacket.
