It is unusual for a popular science book in the level of mathematical detail it goes into, actually allowing the ...
As Hebblethwaite explains, radioactivity had been recently discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie at the time of The Jewel of Seven Stars’ publication, and "electric light was just beginning to be widely used in domestic households...throughout Stoker’s novel, there runs an underlying sense of wonder at modern man’s ability to harness the ...
