Written by Matt Ridley, the award-winning author of the national bestseller Genome, Francis Crick traces his life from middle class mediocrity in the English Midlands through a lackluster education and six years designing magnetic mines for the Royal Navy to his leap into biology at the age of 31 and his enormous success, providing “a considerably more complete and colorful portrait of Crick than has existed before.” (New York Times)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis landmark work in the history of science reveals the man behind the discovery:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Race for the Double Helix:\u003c\/b\u003e Explore the intense partnership with James Watson and the competitive drive that led them to one of the 20th century’s greatest scientific breakthroughs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrom Codebreaker to Code Cracker:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover Crick’s surprising wartime years designing magnetic mines for the Royal Navy and how his scientific mind later turned to cracking the very code of life itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScience and Controversy:\u003c\/b\u003e Delve into the complex collaborations, including the pivotal and often-debated role of Rosalind Franklin’s data in the DNA discovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLife After the Nobel:\u003c\/b\u003e Follow Crick’s journey beyond DNA, from defining the “Central Dogma” of biology to his final decades tackling his second great mystery: the neurological basis of human consciousness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42938143932671,"sku":"9780061148453","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780061148453_s600x595.jpg?v=1780332561","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780061148453","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
