At the time, Watson was only 24, a young scientist 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 mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions \u0026amp; bitter rivalries. With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his \u0026amp; Crick's desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. Never has a scientist been so truthful in capturing in words the flavor of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easton Press, 2009","offers":[{"title":"The Double Helix A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA \/ Very Good","offer_id":53962460070180,"sku":"BBC0000084704VG","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_29303acc-9ad1-4391-8c53-051b5f0dee6f.jpg?v=1779988887","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/bbc0000084704","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
