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.
我去图书馆借这本书,本以为是中文版,结果发现是英文版的。 英文版行文非常rhetoric,文字算华丽的,与英文科技新闻相比,理解起来还真有点难度。 《双螺旋:发现DNA结构的故事》感觉就是写,科研时遇到的各种问题,制度上的、人情世故上的、合作、竞争、灵感怎么出现 等等...
評分 評分本书是因发现了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...
評分对《双螺旋》这本书早有耳闻,原来见过汉译本,翻译的挺差劲,读了几页就放弃了。这次有幸搞到原作,颇激动啊。 之前也看过一些介绍科学研究的作品。给我印象最深的便是写陈景润的报告文学《哥德巴赫的猜想》,也算是中国人写科学家的经典吧。说真的,当时我初中,看《哥》真的...
評分总归来说,无论这本书如何的生活零碎,或许根本谈不上什么非读不可的大作,(尽管它出自名家之笔,但名家已经放弃了身价,本要还原不是那么具有“亲和力”的科学界以人间烟火之面目,那我们还等什么呢?)但它总归是科学界顶尖社群工作与生活等各方面的点滴写照。它抛弃掉所有...
一方麵,Watson和Crick非常幸運的接觸到瞭解密DNA結構的幾把鑰匙;另一方麵,Pauling很不走運的因為共産主義立場被美國禁止離境去參加歐洲的學術會議,沒能及時看到關鍵的X-ray照片。科學需要頭腦和汗水更需要機遇。如果研究方嚮與科研大牛/大公司‘撞車’,即試圖解決相同的科學/技術問題,推薦看一下這本書。
评分:Q523/8177.2
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)
