A Passion for DNA - Genes, Genomes and Society (Hardcover)

A collection of essays, speeches, and reports by J D Watson, author of The Double Helix, a book which famously tells the story of his co-discovery with Crick of the structure of DNA in 1953. The pieces in this book deal with Watson's early life and career, science and politics, the advance of molecular genetics, genetics and society, the recombinant DNA debate, the prospects for curing cancer over the next decade, and how human genetic knowledge is likely to be used, for good or bad.
