This volume in the publisher's "Significant Figures in World History" series feels like a throwback to an earlier era of reference and information seeking. Ogilvie offers a slim biographical monograph bringing together Marie Curie's personal life and the outlines of her career. The author provides a chronology, a précis of Curie's biography, and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The heart of the book consists of brief encyclopedia entries for various people, places, and scientific discoveries that figured in Curie’s life and career… The most helpful feature for readers new to research will be the extensive, thorough, and well-organized bibliography… Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. General readers.
