The Double Helix - James D. Watson
Title:Author: James D. Watson
Price (in Rands - excl. postage: R 100
Condition: **
Other information:
The Double Helix : A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA is an autobiographical account of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA written by James D. Watson and published in 1968. It was and remains a controversial account. Though it was originally slated to be published by Harvard University Press, Watson's home university dropped the arrangement after protestations from Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins,[1] co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, and it was published privately. It has been criticized as being excessively sexist towards Rosalind Franklin, another participant in the discovery, who was deceased by the time Watson's book was written.
The intimate first-person account of scientific discovery was unusual for its time. The book has been hailed as a highly personal view of scientific work, with its author seemingly caring only about the glory of priority and willing to appropriate data from others surreptitiously in order to obtain it.
The book was made into a film dramatization as The Race for the Double Helix in 1987.
In 1998, the Modern Library placed The Double Helix at number 7 on its list of the 20th century's best works of non-fictionContact me: charlheydenrych@yahoo.com
