Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the discovery of radio-activity by the author, the Hon. R.J. Strutt. In doing so, the author presents a valuable overview of the history of the study of electricity and electric discharge to set the stage for his research that would ultimately lead to the discovery of elements responsible for radio-activity, namely Uranium and Thorium. Through this book, we learn of the properties of radium and the nature of the rays it produces, as the author delves into topics like the absorption and ionization of these rays and how they interact with the earth and atmosphere. This book explores the ultimate products of radio-active change and the electrical theory of the nature of matter, making it an excellent resource for those seeking to understand the history of our scientific understanding of radio-activity.
