Title: The Secret of Life Author: Howard Markel Narrator: Donald Corren Format: mp3 Length: 15 hrs and 5 mins Release date: 09-21-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 85 ratings Genres: Science & Technology Publisher's Summary: The discovery of DNA’s structure is the story of five towering minds in pursuit of the advancement of science, and for almost all of them, the prospect of fame and immortality: Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling. Howard Markel skillfully recreates the intense intellectual journey, and fraught personal relationships, that ultimately led to a spectacular breakthrough. But it is Rosalind Franklin - fiercely determined, relentless, and an outsider at Cambridge and the University of London in the 1950s - who becomes a focal point for Markel.
