The Logic of Life: A History Of Heredity (Princeton Science Library) (Princeton Science Library (Paperback)) - Softcover
In The Logic of Life Francois Jacob looks at the way our understanding of biology has changed since the sixteenth century. He describes four fundamental turning points in the perception of the structure of living things: the discoveries of the functions of organs, cells, chromosomes and genes, and DNA.

Review:
"A great story. . . . A compact encyclopedia of biology, it manages to convey, for all the weight of its content, a sense of continual excitement and wonderment."--Lewis Thomas, author of The Lives of a Cell
"The most remarkable history of biology that has ever been written."--Michel Foucault
"[A] lucid account of man's changing ideas about heredity. [It] seizes and stimulates the imagination."---Arnold W. Ravin, Science
"[One of] the most important discussions yet published of the recent advances in molecular biology."--The Times Literary Supplement
"Brilliant. . . . One thing the book reveals to the general reader is the interconnection of the development of biological ideas with the development of the rest of science and technology."---Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker
"François Jacob, who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his work on genetics, has written an unusual and illuminating history of his discipline. It is not so much a history of science as a history of the ideas of science."---Edward Edelson, Washington Post Book World
