The Double Helix is one of the monumental books of twentieth-century science: Watson’s vivid first-person account of the discovery of the structure of DNA, the breakthrough that helped inaugurate the age of molecular biology and permanently transformed genetics, medicine and biotechnology.
In extremely fine condition, this is both an elegant cultural object and a particularly meaningful acquisition for geneticists, physicians, biotechnology leaders, eminent life-science researchers and collectors of landmark scientific books. Its signed and numbered status gives this distinguished collector’s edition a direct personal connection to one of the central figures in modern biology, at a notably attractive price.
