基本説明

The autobiography of the third key figure in the story of DNA, who shared the Nobel Prize with Watson and Crick. Gives Wilkins' point of view on the much discussed difficult relationship with Rosalind Frankin. I expect this book is in some ways my attempt to respond to these questions, and to tell my side of that story.

Full Description

The Nobel Prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA was given to three scientists - James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. It was the experimental work of Wilkins and his colleague Rosalind Franklin that provided the clues to the structure. Here, Wilkins, who died in 2004, gives us his own account of his life, his early work in physics, the tensions and exhilaration of working on DNA, and his much discussed difficult relationship with his colleague Rosalind. This is a highly readable, and often moving account from a highly distinguished scientist who played one of the key roles in the historic discovery of the molecule behind inheritance.
