About this title

Synopsis

A principal architect and visionary of the new biology, a Nobel Prize-winner at 34 and best-selling author at 40 (The Double Helix), James D. Watson had the authority, flair, and courage to take an early and prominent role as commentator on the march of DNA science and its implications for society. In essays for publications large and small, and in lectures around the world, he delivered what were, in effect, dispatches from the front lines of the revolution. Outspoken and sparkling with ideas and opinions, a selection of them is collected for the first time in this volume. Their resonance with today's headlines is striking.

About the Author

Crick and Watson's discovery (in Cambridge) of the double helix structure of DNA was announced in 1953, when Watson was 25. Watson left Cambridge for Harvard where he spent many productive years as a professor. He became director of the decaying Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island and converted it in the space of a few years into one of the world's pre-eminent centres of molecular genetics and cancer research. He was one of the prime movers who brought into being the human genome project. Watson retired as director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory a few years ago and is now its president.
