Pierre and Marie Curie made a terrific scientific team. They coined the term "radioactivity" and discovered two new radioactive elements: radium and polonium. Through engaging yet accessible text, readers will follow them as they grow up in loving families dedicated to education, develop into budding scientists, get married, and launch their lab. Students will learn about the Curies' hardships and triumphs and explore how scientific discovery builds upon itself and other scientists into the future. Detailed diagrams and informative sidebars help simplify the details of important scientific concepts, such as piezoelectricity, radioactivity, and Becquerel rays.

      Gr 7 Up-These titles provide background information on the spotlighted figures, how they came to work in their fields, and descriptions of their successes and disappointments. Images of the collaborators accompany the detailed narratives, which explain their work. The narratives also discuss how the discoveries are still being worked on. Sidebars offer insights into other historical figures or explain relevant concepts, such as the method of differences used in Charles Babbage's calculating machine and Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-rays. A detailed chronology arranges the events. VERDICT Excellent for research projects or class discussions of how scientific innovation fits into various time periods.
