Excellent biography of the famous scientist who helped discover the structure of DNA. It does a really good job of revealing the real person behind all the mythmaking and rhetoric. The only flaw is that the descriptions of the chemistry might not be terribly clear to anyone who isn't already fairly well-acquainted with macromolecules etc.
I was a bit disappointed by this. It has a weird and disjointed structure that means it jumps around a lot in a slightly confusing way. Each of the individual sections is really clear and interesting, and Rutherford's wicked sense of humour is on full display, but as a whole it doesn't flow very well.
