Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry by elucidating the structure of DNA - and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time Watson was only 24, with more interest in girls than in chemistry. His uncompromisingly honest account of those heady days lifts the lid on the real world of greatscientists and the extraordinary excitement of their desperate attempts to beat Linus Pauling to the solution to one of the great enigmas of the life sciences.Hide synopsis

Octavo, original blue cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket that shows only light wear. Signed by James Watson on the title page. "Science seldom proceeds in the straightforward logical manner imagined by outsiders, " writes James Watson in The Double Helix, his account of his codiscovery (along with Francis Crick) of the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick won Nobel Prizes for their work, and their names are memorized by biology students around the world. But as in all of history, the real story behind the deceptively simple outcome was messy, intense, and sometimes truly hilarious. To preserve the "real" story for the world, James Watson attempted to record his first impressions as soon after the events of 1951-1953 as possible, with all their unpleasant realities and "spirit of adventure" intact.
The most fascinating part of this story was the effort of Watson to keep in touch with
the son of Linus Pauling, who was hot on the path to discover the DNA molecule. It
was almost strange the way Watson and Crick used the x ray analysis of a female
coworker to describe the DNA molecule and later be ...
