Description
The Double Helix: The Discovery of the Structure of DNA by James Watson and James D. Watson In 1953, two scientists made a groundbreaking discovery that would revolutionise the field of biochemistry. The structure of DNA, the molecule underlying all life, was finally understood. This book tells the story of that momentous breakthrough, and the scientists behind it. At the heart of the discovery were the personalities and rivalries of the scientists involved. The authors, James Watson and James D. Watson, provide an honest and unflinching account of their experiences. From the intense pressure to be the first to crack the code, to the petty rivalries and personal struggles, this book lifts the lid on the real world of great scientists. The result is a fascinating and gripping story of scientific discovery, and the human drama that surrounds it.
