The Double Helix by James D. Watson
4.0
The idea was so simple that it had to be right.
In this little book, Watson recounts the events and pieces of research leading up to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, but also the fierce competition between scientists in the US and England, the jealousy and irritation even among colleagues in the same science lab. (What a characters, now I understand what E.O. Wilson must have gone through with these people!) A short and engaging read, even a bit of a page turner.
