Through an engaging text and numerous photographs and illustrations  Carla Killough McClafferty tells the history of the X-ray  from its discovery to its uses today. The story begins in 1895  when Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally saw the bones of his own hand while experimenting with cathode rays in his laboratory in Germany. His gift to science led to an amazing revolution in medicine  but not without a terrible price: it was only through many scientists injuries and deaths that the dangers of X-ray exposure were revealed. McClaffertys chronicle also covers such things as the use of X-rays in examining fine art and identifying forgeries; the study of Egyptian mummies by X-rays; and X-ray use in everything from astronomy to paleontology  from airplane manufacture to the familiar dentists office.  McClafferty writes with an infectious excitement about her subject  with plenty of humor and respect for her intended young audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963294871605,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374329087","price":44.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374329082.jpg?v=1770411076","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-head-bones-connected-to-the-neck-bone-the-weird-wacky-and-wonderful-xray","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
