Manga Mutiny: Angels and Mankind in Open Rebellion! (Manga Bible, #1)
Ryō Azumi
oceanwriter wrote a review...
It goes without saying what an incredible scientist Marie Curie was. Though I’ve been pretty fascinated by the history of radiation use in science, this was the first time I’ve read about either of the Curies.
This book discusses Marie Curie from both a scientific standpoint as well as a personal one. I would say it leans more toward the biographical side, her role in the sciences is discussed more than the discoveries themselves. A portrait of her as a woman is painted along with her contributions.
I liked the balance of subjects, although I think going so deeply into her personal life took too much attention away from her science in the later chapters of the book. I started losing interest due to the sluggish pace and was glad to be finished with it. Still, it was a worthwhile read. Her two Nobel Prizes speak for themselves.
