The birth of living radium -- Radium and the origin of life -- Radium and the mutation theory -- Radium genetics -- The gene irradiated -- Transmutations and disintegrations.
This volume traces the half-life of the transmuting connection between radium and life to recover the forgotten story of the remarkably provocative and productive connections between radioactivity and the life sciences long before the dawn of molecular biology made such connections seem commonplace.
