The classic personal account of Watson and Crick's groundbreaking discovery of the structure of DNA, now with an introduction by Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind.

By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only twenty-four, a young scientist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries.

With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his and Crick's desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. Never has a scientist been so truthful in capturing in words the flavor of his work.

Fits true to size
Size: 13 Years, Color: Light Blue
This hoodie fits true to size. It’s high quality, cozy inside and we love the blue color. I would consider it a great value for the price. We will be buying more colors for sure.

Sizing is not accurate!
Size: 9 Years, Color: Light Blue
I bought this for my granddaughter, who is 8 years old, and typically wears a size 8. I purchased the size 9, she likes oversized hoodies, even though the add already says it’s oversized. It was MAYyBE a size 6, it was tight on my six year old granddaughter. I sent it back, and am not reordering. I’m not going to keep guessing on sizing. I want to know that when I order the size she wears in Nike, Adidas, Target,etc. , that it’s going to be the same, and not have to keep returning items…

Loved these and they fit. Nice and warm for a chilly summer evening at the beach, and looked great with summer pastels.

True to size, good quality
Size: 3T, Color: White, Size: 3T, Color: White
Great quality sweatshirts. I bought white to tie dye. They held the dye really well! They are true to size, but a little bit longer than most shirts. They fit my kids really well. They have also held up well in the wash, no shrinking at all!
