Exploring the invisible energy that shines through matter, this book makes radioactivity clear and compelling. Frederick Soddy presents radium and the constant glow of radioactive change in straightforward, non-technical language, so curious readers can grasp the ideas shaping science and our view of nature.

This edition gathers the main substance of six popular lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow, then reorganized for continuous reading. It also includes concise updates on discoveries since those talks, including work on alpha particles and the measurement of helium produced by radio elements. The aim is to illuminate complex ideas with accuracy while remaining accessible to general readers.

Clear explanations of radioactivity, radium, and the energy released by disintegration

How scientists test for trace elements and track atomic changes

Connections between uranium, thorium, radium, and the generation of helium

Ideal for readers curious about the science behind radioactive phenomena, its history, and what these discoveries mean for our understanding of matter and the universe.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the groundbreaking science of radioactivity, a field that revolutionized our understanding of matter and energy. Written in a clear and engaging style, it guides the reader through the key discoveries of this new science, starting with the initial observations of Henri Becquerel and the subsequent research of Marie Curie that led to the discovery of radium. The author delves into the remarkable properties of radium, particularly its ability to continuously emit energy without apparent depletion, challenging the established principles of physics and energy conservation. The book examines the implications of this discovery, raising questions about the source of energy in the universe and offering new perspectives on the age and evolution of the cosmos. The text also explores the connection between radioactivity and the transmutation of elements, a topic that has captivated scientists for centuries. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of radioactivity, a field that continues to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and reveal the mysteries of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
