" ... Marie Curie for Kids details Curie's remarkable life, from her childhood under a repressive czar in Poland to her tireless work supporting herself through college to meeting her ideal match in scientist Pierre Curie to her revolutionary research. Kids learn how Curie quietly flouted societal norms, working in full partnership with her husband while also teaching and raising two daughters. Scientific concepts are presented in a clear, accessible way, and a range of activities--from making Polish pierogi to exploring magnetism, to using electrolysis to split water--allow for exploration of Curie's life, times, and work."--Provided by publisher.

When Marie Mutsuki Mockett journeyed to her family's Buddhist temple in 2012, radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster prohibited her from moving her grandfather's bones. As Japan grieved for the thousands killed and wounded in the earthquake and tsunami, Mockett tried to come to terms with her own overwhelming grief. Guided by Zen priests she sought consolation in rituals that disturbed, haunted, and finally uplifted her.
how Irene Curie and Lise Meitner revolutionized science and changed the world
Conkling, Winifred
In 1934, Irene Curie, working with her husband and fellow physicist, Frederic Joliot, made a discovery that forever altered the world: artificial radioactivity. Four years later, Curie's breakthrough led physicist Lise Meitner to the scientific epiphany that unlocked the secret of nuclear fission. Meitner's unique insight was critical to the revolution in science that led to nuclear energy and the race to build the atomic bomb.
Presents the life and work of physicist Marie Curie focusing on her childhood in Warsaw, education, relationships, marriage to Pierre Curie, children, Nobel prize, discovery of radium, death, and legacy.
