A Brief Account of Radio-activity
Francis Preston Venable
In 1896 a photographic plate, wrapped and locked in a drawer, fogged itself: something invisible was pouring out of uranium. Venable tells the young science of radioactivity, from that first discovery through the properties of the strange new rays. A compact, clear account written when radium still amazed the world. Step into physics at the moment matter began to glow.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
