On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published a groundbreaking article in Nature that revealed the double helix structure of DNA. Their work was based on the findings of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, who were equally as brilliant yet who did not enjoy the same level of recognition for their scientific contributions. Through accessible yet captivating text accompanied by striking images, students will understand the significance of this discovery and get to know the story of the scientists who played a critical role in describing DNA, including how they worked and what motivated them in their pioneering research.

      Gr 7 Up-These titles provide background information on the spotlighted figures, how they came to work in their fields, and descriptions of their successes and disappointments. Images of the collaborators accompany the detailed narratives, which explain their work. The narratives also discuss how the discoveries are still being worked on. Sidebars offer insights into other historical figures or explain relevant concepts, such as the method of differences used in Charles Babbage's calculating machine and Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-rays. A detailed chronology arranges the events. VERDICT Excellent for research projects or class discussions of how scientific innovation fits into various time periods.
