Paperback. Condition: Fine. Another fantastic adventure in the animal kingdom for readers aged 5 to 500. The Queen and Mr Brown visit their animal friends in the Natural History Museum for another mystery tour. This time their destination is the bottom of the ocean. Beneath the waves they meet an enormous blue whale, a piglet squid and a very sociable octopus. But nothing can prepare them for what is waiting for them on bottom, the dreaded anglerfish--the ugliest fish in the sea! Strikingly illustrated and humorously told, this story is great to read aloud and for older children to read on their own.

Two bound volumes. Volume 171 (January 3 1953 to June 27 1953) and Volume 172 (July 4 1953 to December 22 1953). Bound in maroon (vol. 171) and brick-red (vol. 172) cloth, spine lettered in gilt. In very good condition. Front pastedown has the bookplate of Worthing Public Library and title page of volume 172 (and verso of volume 171) has a small round Worthing Public Library stamp. The papers are as follows: 1. Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, by J.D.Watson and F.H.C. Crick. Nature, Volume 171, No. 4356. April 25 1953. pp737-738. 2. Molecular Structure of Deoxypentose Nucleic Acids, by M.H.F. Wilkins, A.R.Stokes and H.R.Wilson Nature, Volume 171, No. 4356. April 25 1953. pp738-740. 3. Molecular configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate by Rosalind E. Franklin and R.G.Gosling. Nature, Volume 171, No. 4356. April 25 1953. pp740-741. 4. Genetical Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid by J.D.Watson and F.H.C.Crick. Nature, Volume 171, No. 4361. May 30 1953. pp964-967. 5. Evidence for 2-Chain Helix in Crystalline Structure of Sodium Deoxyribonucleate by Rosalind E. Franklin and R.G.Gosling. Nature, Volume 172, No. 4369, July 25 1953. pp156-157. 6. Helical Structure of Crystalline Deoxypentose Nucleic Acid, by M.H.F.Wilkins, W.E.Seeds, A.R.Stokes and H.R.Wilson. Nature, Volume 172, No. 4382, October 24 1953. pp759-762. Together these papers, announcing the discovery of DNA, provide the single most important advance in biology since Darwin's theories. Although Crick and Watson are the best known of the scientists working on the structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) it was a collaborative venture and it is now recognised that the model used by Watson and Crick was based almost completely on the findings of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.

Original photograph from the 1962 Nobel Prize Ceremony signed by Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins (jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine) as well as Max Ferdinand Perutz and John Kendrew (jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry). Also captured in the photograph is John Steinbeck, who was awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature. In fine condition. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962 was awarded jointly to Francis Harry Compton Crick, James Dewey Watson and Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." In 1968, Watson published The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA, his account of his codiscovery (along with Francis Crick) of the structure of DNA. To preserve the "real" story for the world, James Watson attempted to record his first impressions as soon after the events of 1951-1953 as possible, with all their unpleasant realities and "spirit of adventure" intact. "He has described admirably how it feels to have that frightening and beautiful experience of making a great scientific discovery" (Richard Feynman, winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics).

First Edition Signed
First edition of this collection of Nobel Lectures in physiology or medicine from the years 1942-1962. Thick Octavo, original yellow cloth. Signed by all three Nobel Prize-winning scientists Francis Crick, James D. Watson and Maurice Wilkins on the title page. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962, "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material."Fine in a very good dust jacket with some closed tears and toning to the spine. An exceptional piece signed by these Nobel Prize-winning scientists. In the early 1950s, the race to discover DNA was on. At Cambridge University, graduate student Francis Crick and research fellow James Watson had become interested, impressed especially by Pauling's work. Meanwhile at King's College in London, Maurice Wilkins (b. 1916) and Rosalind Franklin were also studying DNA. The Cambridge team's approach was to make physical models to narrow down the possibilities and eventually create an accurate picture of the molecule. The King's team took an experimental approach, looking particularly at x-ray diffraction images of DNA. Watson and Crick took a crucial conceptual step, suggesting the molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides, each in a helix as Franklin had found, but one going up and the other going down. Crick had just learned of Chargaff's findings about base pairs in the summer of 1952. He added that to the model, so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule was a template for the other. During cell division the two strands separate and on each strand a new "other half" is built, just like the one before. This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors, or mutations. The structure so perfectly fit the experimental data that it was almost immediately accepted. DNA's discovery has been called the most important biological work of the last 100 years, and the field it opened may be the scientific frontier for the next 100.
