In 1953, two unknown scientists sparked a worldwide revolution. Studying DNA for clues to the nature of genes, James Watson and Francis Crick deduced its molecular composition and realized that the structure implied how genes were copied from one generation to another.

Contemporary / British English (Available June 2008) James D. Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for the discovery of the double helix, the structure of DNA. In this book, James D. Watson tells the exciting story of this discovery.

Tells the story of the amazing molecule since its discovery, following modern genetics from his own Nobel prize-winning work in the fifties to Dolly, the sheep, designer babies and GM foods. This guide to one of the most triumphant achievements of human science introduces the science of modern genetics, along with its history and its implications.
