Scientists Editorial Review
"The Secret of Life" is a compelling book that retells the story of the discovery of DNA's double helix by Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick. Howard Markell's writing style is engaging, and he presents the historical events with empathy and thorough research. The book offers a broader perspective on big science in the post-World War II period and sheds light on the challenges that many scientists faced during that time, particularly women. The only downside is that some readers received misprinted copies with missing and repeated pages. Overall, "The Secret of Life" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science.
