Marie Curie

by Rhythm Prism

Overview

Marie Curie won two Nobel prizes. She coined the phrase ‘radioactivity’ and added radium and polonium to the periodic table. She shared one of her Nobel prizes and much of her work with her husband, Pierre, but there has never been a question about the quality and genius of Marie’s work alone.
After Pierre Curie died in 1906, Marie continued to experiment, to learn and to discover.

There are many kinds of pioneers. Some people go off to foreign lands; some people explore ideas that alter the way we understand the world. This is the kind of pioneer Marie Curie was. She made discoveries that changed science forever. This book introduces the young reader to the remarkable scientist, Marie Curie.

"Marie Curie, Pioneer in Science" is part of Rhythm Prism’s "Reading for Fun and Comprehension series". Each book in the series reviews the life and times of a significant historical figure. Vocabulary and reading comprehension exercises follow a brief biography. Map overview and essay response are included.

About the Author

Rhythm Prism's catalogue is constantly growing. The most recent additions are geared toward a general readership. These newer books do not eclipse our earlier issues. These encompass adult/youth writing development and education for school-age youth.

All of Rhythm Prism's books are guided by a few basic principles: learning is a lifelong process; complex material can be explained in simple terms; pictures always enhance text; responsible research is essential to every work of nonfiction. There's a final, over-arching principle: don't bore the reader.

A wide range of subjects is covered. This ambitious scope is a reflection of our writer's perspective. A. G. Moore has been a teacher, a student, a researcher and an author. Each of these skills is evident in the books she produces.
