Product Information
Since its publication in 1968, The Double Helix has given countless readers a rare and exciting look at one highly significant piece of scientific research - Watson and Crick's race to discover the molecular structure of DNA. In this Norton Critical Edition, Watson's lively and irreverent account is placed in historical perspective by Gunther Stent's introduction and by retrospective views from two major figures in the adventure, Francis Crick and Linus Pauling, and by Rosalind Franklin's last student, Aaron Klug.Product Identifiers
