"The fascinating, curious, and sometimes macabre history of radium as seen in its uses in everyday life"--
Lucy Jane Santos is an expert in the history of twentieth-century health and beauty with a particular interest—some might say obsession—in the cultural history of radioactivity. She is now the Executive Secretary of the British Society for the History of Science. In the past, she has also worked as the Director of the Crime Writers’ Association and for the Gourmet Society, where she was Editor, and at The International Wine and Food Society. This is her first book.
