  The Elements of Marie Curie -...

  The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
   
  “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
   
  As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
   
  With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

  The Phantom Universe – A Glimpse into Hidden Dimensions pulls back the veil on the strangest theories and most daring ideas in modern physics and cosmology. This 3-in-1 volume takes readers on a thrilling intellectual journey through realities that may exist beyond the visible and measurable, challenging everything we thought we knew about the cosmos. 
  In The Phantom Cosmos, you'll explore the possibility of unseen structures influencing our universe—from shadow matter and mirror worlds to exotic particles that slip through our detectors unnoticed. Could the cosmos be home to entities or forces that never interact with light but still shape the fabric of space? 
  The Hidden Cosmos pushes even further, diving into theories of extra dimensions, parallel universes, and multiverse models. Drawing on ideas from string theory, M-theory, and cutting-edge astrophysics, this section unpacks how the universe might be far bigger, stranger, and more complex than our three-dimensional perception allows. 
  Finally, The Secret Universe explores the philosophical and scientific implications of a cosmos filled with secrets—hidden realms of energy, folded dimensions, and quantum anomalies. Could consciousness itself be linked to these unseen realities? Is our universe just one of countless others drifting in a higher-dimensional space? 
  Perfect for fans of speculative science and big questions, The Phantom Universe invites you to journey past the limits of ordinary thought and consider realities that may be hidden just beyond our reach. Blending science, imagination, and logic, this book reveals a universe far more mysterious—and magical—than we ever dreamed.
