GENES, GIRLS, AND GAMOW（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　In the years following his and Francis Crick’s towering
discovery of DNA, James Watson was obsessed with finding two
things: RNA and a wife. Genes, Girls, and Gamow is the marvelous
chronicle of those pursuits. Watson effortlessly glides between his
heartbreaking and sometimes hilarious debacles in the field of love
and his heady inquiries in the field of science. He also reflects
with touching candor on some of science’s other titans, from fellow
Nobelists Linus Pauling and the incorrigible Richard Feynman to
Russian physicist George Gamow, who loved whiskey, limericks, and
card tricks as much as he did molecules and genes. What emerges is
a refreshingly human portrait of a group of geniuses and a candid,
often surprising account of how science is done.

　　James D. Watson is president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
in New York. A member of the National Academy of Sciences and the
Royal Society, he has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
the National Medal of Science, and, with Francis Crick and Maurice
Wilkins, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 1962.
