RADIOACTIVITY OF THORIUM MINERALS. George F. Barker. 1903. “With Compliments of the author” in ink to the front wrap. 8vo. Original wraps. Pp161-168. Rare off-print NO COPIES LOCATED ON WORLDCAT. With no auction results or other copies for sale, and inscribed by the author. **George F. Barker (George Frederick Barker, 1835–1910), a prominent American physician, chemist, and physicist, made notable contributions to the early study of radioactivity in the United States. He specifically investigated the "Radioactivity of Thorium Minerals," presenting an influential paper on the subject in 1903. Published in the American Journal of Science (1903), Barker's research aligned with the global rush to understand radioactive elements following Marie Curie's discovery of polonium and radium, and Gerhard Carl Schmidt's and Marie Curie's independent discoveries of thorium's radioactivity in 1898.
