对《双螺旋》这本书早有耳闻,原来见过汉译本,翻译的挺差劲,读了几页就放弃了。这次有幸搞到原作,颇激动啊。 之前也看过一些介绍科学研究的作品。给我印象最深的便是写陈景润的报告文学《哥德巴赫的猜想》,也算是中国人写科学家的经典吧。说真的,当时我初中,看《哥》真的...
评分 评分本书是因发现了DNA的结构而获得诺贝尔奖的美国科学家James Watson自己写的他的科学探索过程,一本非常有名的经典科普读物。这个发现很关键,因为它奠基了分子生物学,开始揭开了万物遗传的奥秘,让人类对生命有了更深入的了解。因为作者做出这个有关万物遗传的重要发现时年仅...
评分激动人心的杰作!篇幅不大,然而把那段充满活力与希望的分子生物学发现史展示得无比生动,有趣。沃森25岁时与诸多同事做出划时代的发现,固然与他的天才有关系,然而更值得强调的是扎实的科学基础,活跃的学术气氛,以及充满机会的那个时代。 这是一本少有的外行也能大致读懂的...

The classic personal account of one of the great scientific discoveries of the century. 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 brilliant young zoologist 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 unsolved 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 the life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. He is impressed by the achievements of the young man he was, but clear-eyed about his limitations. Never has such a brilliant scientist also been so gifted, and so truthful, in capturing in words the flavor of his work.
When I first read the book in high school I barely understood it, due to my retarded English. From the book I nonetheless fancied a fancy picture of how ready minds should bump into windfalls. Alas, I was a dumb biologist-wanna-be teenager back then (a worm watcher, as vs. Hyde Park High Jim the Birdwatcher), and was blindly confident of my own readiness and the great professional prospect that gotta be coming along. Now that six years were gone and the treacherous waters of hardcore science watched how I odesseyed through them, hardly surviving. Rereading the book and lots of things got the other way round. Anyway, after all, God see to it that the big fish still goes to the tricky and the ducky. (Acquired in Rabbit Hole, Fitchburg MA, 2009 fall; read in early spring, 2010)

评分What a smart play by ostensibly lucky Jim! His astuteness is second to none. Every experimentalist should read it.
