Marietta Blau, stars of disintegration

"This book presents the life of Austrian physicist Marietta Blau (1894-1970), who was considered extraordinarily gifted by Albert Einstein. She was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize although no obituary for her was ever published. At the Radium Institute in Vienna, she developed the photographic method of detecting nuclear particles in the 1920s, a method which played a prominent role in nuclear physics in the following decades. By means of this technique new fundamental particles, the pion and the K-meson, were discovered in the 1940s."--Jacket.
