Description
"James Watson and Francis Crick's 1953 discovery of the double helix structure of DNA is the foundation of virtually every advance in our modern understanding of genetics and molecular biology. But how did Watson and Crick do it -- and why were they the ones who succeeded? In truth, the discovery of DNA's structure is the story of five towering minds in pursuit of the advancement of science, and for almost all of them, the prospect of fame and immortality: Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling. Each was fascinating and brilliant, with strong personalities that often clashed. [It] is a story of genius and perseverance, but also a saga of cronyism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, and misconduct. A fascinating look at how science is done, how reputations are undone, and how history is written, and revised. A lively and sweeping narrative of this landmark discovery, one that finally gives the woman at the center of this drama her due"--,Provided by publisher.
