The Double Helix is a fascinating account by James D. Watson of the discovery of the structure of DNA. Published in 1978 by Plaza & Janés in Barcelona, this book offers a personal and exciting view of one of the greatest scientific milestones of the 20th century. Watson, winner of the Nobel Prize in Biology in 1962, narrates the events that led to the solution of the structure of DNA, the fundamental genetic material. This paperback edition, belonging to the 'El Arca de Papel' collection, is a Spanish translation by Adolfo Martín.
James Dewey Watson was an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. In 1953, he and Francis Crick co-authored an academic paper in Nature proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, building on research by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".
