Francis Crick by Matt Ridley
Acclaimed author Matt Ridley traces the colourful life of the man who discovered the structure of DNA, the building blocks of life.‘In this excellent first biography of Francis Crick, who died in 2004, the suspense is terrific…authoritative…lucid…he captures Crick's audacity, brilliance and, not least, eloquence’ Sunday Times
‘From the pages of this biography Crick emerges as a powerful, dominating figure who ruled seminars and parties with equal ease, and Ridley, an experienced science writer, with a neat turn of phrase and a proper appreciation of brevity can be satisfied he has done justice to his subject. His book has pace, concisenness and wit…the book is a delight.’ The Observer
'Ridley explains his discoveries with wonderful clarity.' Telegraph Review
