Description: Matt Ridley, Francis Crick, Discoverer of the Genetic Code, HarperCollins 2006 First Edition, in fine condition. This book is one of the Eminent Lives series of short (usually around 200 pages) biographies under the Atlas Books imprint. A wonderful series, it engages experts who are good writers to write biographies of people of significance, here Francis Crick, the Englishman who with James Watson first discovered the double helix that is the code by which life is directed. Ridley writes dramatically, and clearly enough for the layperson, particularly about the thrilling months and years when the riddle of DNA was being solved. The book covers Crickâs entire life, the life of one of the most important scientists in history. And making the book of particular interest, Ridley has signed this copy. A lovely book for anyone interested in who we are and how we come to be. Excuse any glare on my photos of the covers, they are protected by a glassine cover, and any shadows in my photos of the text, that is my poor photography. The covers are excellent, and all the text is clean and bright. Shipped only to locations in the United States. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Shipping free of charge.
