Solid info, many photos
Although I initially balked at the price of this book, I now feel that I got my money's worth.It's very high quality paper and binding (I think) and it has many photos that I have never seen anywhere else.It reads wellas a short biography for those adults who aren't up to the usual massiveCurie bio.I think it would be good for junior high and high schoolreaders.I think it deals well with the alleged affair with Paul Langevin. Adults who know about the incident will want more details and will have togo to a full-length bio to get them.Middle-schoolers will probably notknow that they are missing anything.I think it is a well-written bio forits target age group and will also be a good read for adults who want thegeneral picture without too much detail. ...
