Author: WATSON, James D.
Title: The Double Helix. A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA.
Publisher: London: Readers Union, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1969.    Signed by Author    

Notes: Now known worldwide, this work describes the roles that Watson, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin played in the discovery of the structure of DNA, and which led to the award of a Nobel prize. This is an autobiographical account of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. It was and remains a controversial account, and 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, co-discoverers 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.

"Like nothing else in literature, it gives one the feel of how creative science really happens. It opens a new world for the general non-scientific reader." (C.P. Snow)

James Dewey Watson, American molecular biologist, ia best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA. Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".
