The classic personal account of one of the great scientific discoveries of the century. By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only twenty-four, a brilliant young zoologist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest unsolved mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries. With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his and Crick's desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of the life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. He is impressed by the achievements of the young man he was, but clear-eyed about his limitations. Never has such a brilliant scientist also been so gifted, and so truthful, in capturing in words the flavor of his work.

读后感
本书是因发现了DNA的结构而获得诺贝尔奖的美国科学家James Watson自己写的他的科学探索过程，一本非常有名的经典科普读物。这个发现很关键，因为它奠基了分子生物学，开始揭开了万物遗传的奥秘，让人类对生命有了更深入的了解。因为作者做出这个有关万物遗传的重要发现时年仅...
评分 评分在网上买这本书时并不知道这是一本英文书。好在这本书虽然号称是科普书，其实更像是科学家的八卦，作者的文笔还挺俏皮，并不难读。尤其是最后几章，颇有惊心动魄的感觉。 讲述几位科学家互相竞争，最终发现双螺旋结构的过程，不可避免地会出现一些术语。幸亏手头有一个中文译...
评分没读过这本书，但读前是有疑问的。 他本人的发现过程，是否详细介绍如何用不道德的手段，偷偷使用英国国王学院那位女士的数据。那些数据完全是想像的关键性引导依据。他本人有设想和认识全局的优势，但我希望他能诚实的回顾这场个人经历，包括那位黑暗中的DNA女郎，他...
评分1953年4月7日，法国，在穿过塞那河回到卢森堡宫附近旅馆的路上，詹姆斯•沃森孤零零的一个人，望着在圣•吉门附近的长发姑娘，知道她们对他不会感兴趣的，“我25岁了，已经没有什么魅力了。” 此前一周，这个还没满25岁的年轻人和他的搭档，只有大学学历的弗朗西斯•克里...

评分读了好久～
评分这段经历确实值得出书，就是感觉作者太拽，写出来的东西怕和实际有出入，明显有夸大自己，贬低他人的意思
评分无论是男人还是女人，最幸福的事情莫过于在死之前留下点什么有意义的东西。这位作者显然过活了高潮般的一生。
评分When I first read the book in high school I barely understood it, due to my retarded English. From the book I nonetheless fancied a fancy picture of how ready minds should bump into windfalls. Alas, I was a dumb biologist-wanna-be teenager back then (a worm watcher, as vs. Hyde Park High Jim the Birdwatcher), and was blindly confident of my own readiness and the great professional prospect that gotta be coming along. Now that six years were gone and the treacherous waters of hardcore science watched how I odesseyed through them, hardly surviving. Rereading the book and lots of things got the other way round. Anyway, after all, God see to it that the big fish still goes to the tricky and the ducky. (Acquired in Rabbit Hole, Fitchburg MA, 2009 fall; read in early spring, 2010)
