Summary
In many ways, Marie Curie represents modern science. This book explores what went into the creation of this icon of science. It is not a traditional biography, or one that attempts to uncover the 'real' Marie Curie. Rather, Eva Hemmungs Wirtén, by tracing a career that spans two centuries and a world war, provides an innovative and historically grounded account of how modern science emerges in tandem with celebrity culture under the influence of intellectual property in a dawning age of information.
