The Double Helix

Very rarely does a book go beyond offering just the delight of enjoying a good read.
It does make a difference to your spirits at the time as well as improve your confidence about facing up to the world bringing general cheer into your life.

I am positively delighted to recommend The Double Helix by James Watson, as a work of simplicity and intellectual honesty, presenting as it does, a first hand account of the discovery of the structure of the DNA.

What stays with the reader is the charm of the youngish Watson who by virtue of perseverance and broad interests, while engaged in the race for the glory of the Nobel Prize matched wits with his older colleague, Crick, who was an acknowledged & intimidating intellectual giant.

Will try to make a longer post when I find time.
