Reviews
On Sep 22 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
In this monumental work, Susan Quinn, takes us intriguingly deeper into the life of Marie Curie than has ever been brought forth to the reader before. Meticulously referenced via heretofore unavailable personal journals of Marie Curie's, friend's testimonials, and other documents, Quinn presents a richly intimate biography of the woman we only thought we knew. She opens us to a complete insight of the woman and the scientist. Her life, loves, and work. Her passions, triumphs, and tragedies. Quinn strips away the superficial image we've grown accustom to, and gives us a very real person in terms of Marie Curie herself, the times she lived in, and the environment she worked in. A historical must read.

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
