Description

London:: Oxford,, 1957. Hardcover; Hamilton College (NY) bookplate; no card pocket or spine marks/label; leaf 31/32 has 1.75-inch fore-edge tear from crudely-opened folded edge; otherwise good.. index. With full-pg. & in-text b&w drawings, charts, & photos. 1951 discussion of contemporary embryological knowledge; later, illus. & updated for a French version; here trans. into English with 1955 Preface. ||| Curiously, Watson & Crick's 1953 announcement of DNA double-helix structure is barely noted. Though Watson, Crick & Maurice Wilkins received 1962 Nobel Prize for the discovery, they did not happen to mention that they used Rosalind Franklin's research information without her knowledge, consent, or credit. Watson's half-century of comments on various topics have been controversial.
