(3) YA Oxford Portraits in Science series. Published spring 1998. Edelson presents warts-and-all retelling of the quest to determine the molecular structure of DNA. While essential to the story, the level of discourse on the intricacies of molecular biology may bog down some readers. Fittingly, the text ends with a brief discussion of the successful cloning of sheep in Scotland and touches on the major questions raised by this new technology. Bib., ind.
