The Double Helix : A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA
Since its publication in 1968, The Double Helix has given over a million readers a rare and exciting at one highly significant piece of scientific research - Watson and Crick's race to discover the molecular structure of the gene. In this critical edition, Watson's lively and irreverent account is placed in historical perspective by Gunther Stent's introduction and by retrospective view from two major figures in the adventure, Francus Crick and Linus Pauling, and by Rosalind Franklin's las student, Aaron Klug.
Background materials include reproduction of the original scientific papers in which the double helical structure of DNA was first presented in 1953 and 1954. In the criticism section, which begins with "A Review of the Review" by Gunther Stent, other scientist and scholars reveal their own experience and view of Watson's story. There are reviews by Philip Morrison, F. X. S., Richard C. Lewontin, Marry Ellman, Robert L. Sinsheimer, John Lear, Alex Comfort, Jacob Bronowski, Conrad H. Waddington, Robert K. Merton, Peter M. Medawar, and Andre Lwoff; and three letter to the editor of science by Max F. Perutz, M. H. F. Wilkins, and James D. Watson.
