520    On the fiftieth anniversary of Watson and Crick receiving 
       the Nobel Prize, a freshly annotated and illustrated 
       edition of The Double Helix provides new insights into the
       personal relationships among James Watson, Frances Crick, 
       Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and a scientific 
       revolution. In his 1968 memoir, The Double Helix, James 
       Watson offered a thrilling drama of the race among 
       scientists to identify the structure of DNA. Professors 
       Alexander Gann and Jan Witkowski have built upon this 
       narrative; juxtaposing Watsons' racy account with the 
       commentary of other protagonists offering an enhanced 
       perspective of the now legendary story. They have mined 
       many sources: including a trove of newly discovered 
       correspondence belonging to Francis Crick mislaid some 
       fifty years earlier; excerpts from the papers of Maurice 
       Wilkins, Linus Pauling, and Rosalind Franklin; and a 
       chapter that had been dropped from the original. After 
       half a century, the implications of the double helix keep 
       rippling outward; the tools of molecular biology have 
       forever transformed the life sciences. The New Annotated 
       and Illustrated Edition of The Double Helix adds a 
       richness to the account of the momentous events that led 
       the charge. The Double Helix is the best book I know about
       a scientific discovery this new edition suffuses the whole
       with social history, fascinating documentation, 
       photography, and cunning background research. The early 
       fifties, the beginning of the modern age of molecular 
       biology, spring to life. Ian McEwan, author of Atonement -
