Book Introduction

The 21st-century classic that has introduced countless young people to the world of science, The Double Helix!
"The Double Helix," which describes the process of discovering the structure of DNA, considered the greatest scientific achievement of the 20th century, and the people behind it, especially the scientists, in a somewhat straightforward and humorous way, is a book that can provide a lot of fun to readers who have only a vague understanding of the world of scientists.
This book will be of great help not only to those majoring in science, but also to aspiring scientists and even those who are not familiar with the field, in understanding the life of a scientist.
The story of a young, unheralded American scientist studying abroad at Cambridge, England, and creating and explaining a model of the structure of DNA—a puzzle previously unsolved by scientists—is a drama unto itself. This was a time when formidable competitors, including his colleagues Francis Crick, Linus Pauling, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin, were vying for the title.
Watson describes the fierce competition, conflict, deception, failure, frustration, and serendipitous inspiration that goes on to achieve scientific achievements first.
Although countless autobiographical books have been published over the years, there are not many that have enjoyed the love of readers for a long time.
The reason why "The Double Helix" has become a steady seller that continues to garner readers' love is because it serves as a guide for young people who aspire to become scientists, providing them with a clear understanding of the nature of scientists and their research, as well as the scientific community in which they will be working.

Publisher's Review
A human and honest portrayal of the failures and frustrations of the seemingly perfect world of science!
Another thing that sets author Watson apart from other scientists like Crick, Pauling, and Wilkins is that he writes well.
Among foreign scientists, there are many who are good at writing.
Moreover, scientists who are good at writing have a higher success rate.
Among the many physicists, the reason we remember Einstein and Feynman in particular is not solely because of their research achievements.
In fact, Crick, who had a much richer knowledge of chemical structures and other topics than this somewhat rough-looking young scholar who had come over from the United States, did more direct research.
Yet, the conclusion reached after a long debate about why Watson was getting more attention was somewhat unexpected.
It is said that this is thanks to the power of a small book called 'The Double Helix' written by Watson for the general public.
"The Double Helix" equally illuminates Watson the scientist and Watson the human.
The unflinching honesty, which may make the reader nervous about being too revealing, in no way diminishes the scientist Watson.
It goes without saying that the coolness of human Watson comes to life.
What's interesting is that as human Watson survived, the stock of scientist Watson also rose.
Science is also something that people do.
Half a century has passed since the double helix structure of DNA was discovered.
DNA has now become an everyday term in our lives, and genetic science has begun to closely examine not only our bodies but also our minds.
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers, who eventually resigned after making some rather radical policies and statements, also caused controversy by saying that all academic disciplines should study genes.
It may be a bit extreme, but it won't be easy to live in the 21st century without knowing about genes.
If you want to dive into the exciting world of genetics, you should definitely start with this book.
