"Tracing uranium's past--and how it intersects with our understanding of other radioactive elements--Chain Reactions aims to enlighten readers and refresh our attitudes about the atomic world. Chain Reaction s looks at the fascinating, often-forgotten stories that can be found throughout the history of uranium.
