The definitive insider's history of the genetic revolution--significantly updated to reflect the discoveries of the last decade.

James D. Watson, the Nobel laureate whose pioneering work helped unlock the mystery of DNA's structure, charts the greatest scientific journey of our time, from the discovery of the double helix to today's controversies to what the future may hold. Updated to include new findings in gene editing, epigenetics, agricultural chemistry, as well as two entirely new chapters on personal genomics and cancer research. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative exploration of DNA's impact--practical, social, and ethical--on our society and our world.

I knew about W&C&F. I’m honored and grateful. JDW and his team have reintroduced this wisdom which they have organized perfectly. How often (never) will you have a 90 year story told in the first person by a Nobel prize recipient. I cried when the last chapter ended. The story could be called Genesis. The beginning. Thank you.

A rare gem

The book is quite informative. However, some of the conclusions and implications are a bit conflicting. I'll just leave it at that.

informative yet conflicting.

I am not a biologists but wholeheartedly enjoyed this book. It gives a fantastic, breathtaking (and very well written) overview of the field of genetics and its implications to medicine and beyond. The author does a great job explaining exciting advances, potential breakthroughs and dangers of genetics. He also does a great job of pointing out that the progress is not something that is given but is something that is worth fighting for because of its potential to improve human condition much like it did during enlightenment and subsequent agricultural and industrial revolutions.

One of the best books I’ve ever read
