Description
"James Watson's autobiographical account of the discovery of the structure of DNA, The Double Helix, scandalously portrayed science and scientists as never before. Yet millions of the readers of Watson's most famous book are unaware that he has spent a lifetime inventing new forms and styles of writing about science. His textbooks have changed the way biology is taught." "This book, by the scientist and historian Errol Friedberg, is the first to examine the full scope of Jim Watson's writing achievements. It draws extensively on studies of Watson's work, interviews with his co-authors and publishers, access to his personal archives, and conversations with Watson himself, although this is in no sense an "authorized account.""--BOOK JACKET.
