Abstract
M. HONORÉ is a member of the staff of L'Illustration, and his book is virtually an enlarged edition of a series of articles which he contributed to that journal. It therefore gives an attractive and popular account of the discovery, manufacture, properties and applications of radium and associated substances, which should appeal to educated members of the general public. Strangely enough, the artificial disintegration of elements by means of α-rays does not appear to be mentioned in this book.
Le radium: découverte de la radioactivité et du radium, origine de l'énergie radioactive, le radium dans la nature, ses emplois usuels.
