DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nMeet science writer and&nbsp\;The 
 Fossil Hunter&nbsp\;author Shelly Emling who will be at Terra Tea Salon 
 to talk about her latest book\, "Marie Curie and Her Daughters"\, Thursd
 ay\, August 30\, 12:30-2:00 pm. Terra Tea Salon is located in the Montcl
 air Public Library\, 50 South Fullerton Avenue\, Montclair.\nEmling's ne
 w work reveals a hidden side of the life of two-time Nobel Prize winner 
 Marie Curie\, co-discoverer of radioactivity and the first to use it as 
 an experimental treatment for cancer. Her plainly told tale shows Curie 
 as she struggles to balance her passion for discovery and arduous work a
 s a scientist after the death of her husband and collaborator Pierreas w
 ith the equally challenging task of raising two daughters.\nDrawing on n
 ewly available letters between Marie and her daughters\, and extensive i
 nterviews with Marie's granddaughter\, Helene Langevin-Joliot\, Emling s
 hows Marie as a loving\, if often absent\, mother who encouraged her dau
 ghters to pursue their own ideas and passions. Her older daughter\, Iren
 e\, won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935 for her work with her husba
 nd\, Frederic\, in developing synthetic radioactivity\; Marie's younger 
 daughter\, Eve\, had a flourishing career as an international journalist
  and humanitarian who in later life worked with UNICEF.\nIn this admirin
 g family tale\, Emling also reveals for the first time the key role Amer
 ican journalist Missy Meloney played in first bringing Marie Curie on he
 r first trip to America\, where she was received by adoring crowds\, and
  then helping spearhead campaigns to raise much needed money to support 
 Marie's work.\nSHELLEY EMLING has been a journalist for twenty years and
  her work\, including science articles\, has previously appeared in&nbsp
 \;The New York Times\,&nbsp\;USA Today\,&nbsp\;Fortune\,&nbsp\;Slate\,&n
