Description
Book SynopsisAn engaging and original history of the first hundred years of DNA, one of the greatest triumphs of modern science.
Trade ReviewGareth Williams, the former dean of medicine at Bristol University, has woven a
truly superb narrative from short biographies of all the scientists who contributed to, and in some cases just missed out on, the epochal discovery that the secret of life is a digital linear code written on DNA ... By choosing to fill in the gaps in conventional accounts, Williams has done a good job of telling the whole story of science's greatest discovery. He has done it with fluency and a real feel for narrative -- Matt Ridley * The Times *
This is
a FANTASTIC book -- Professor Alice Roberts via Twitter (@theAliceRoberts)
...a riveting good read...Not only did I find it hard to put down, I'm now moved to seek out other science histories by Williams. Highly recommended. * CHEMISTRY WORLD *
