Features: During DNA research, James D. Watson and Francis Crick unraveled its molecular structure mystery—the double helix structure, which consists of two intertwined strands—and immediately realized that this structure could explain the mechanism of gene replication and the transmission between parents and offspring. This book is composed of challenging, optimistic, and humorous articles, opening and closing with elegant reviews by the renowned molecular biologist and writer Walter Gratzer. Through these articles, the life and work of a scientist, educator, and an outstanding intellectual leader of the 20th century can be clearly outlined.
