...their experiments with bacteriophages, a group of viruses that infect bacteria. Scientists had long known that after it invades a bacterial cell, a virus multiplies rapidly into such great numbers that the cell bursts, releasing a host of identical viruses that seek out and enter other cells, where the process is repeated. By studying these viruses, researchers hoped to learn how more complex forms of life reproduce and pass on hereditary traits...
These and other discoveries led scientists to concentrate on the structure of the DNA molecule. The finding in 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick that the typical DNA molecule consists of a double helix enabled scientists to reduce to relatively simple chemical terms the process by which inherited traits are passed on. But it was the contributions of Delbruck, Luria and Hershey that, in the words of the Nobel committee "set the solid foundation on which modern molecular biology rests...
...well as thousands of specialty volumes of limited interest, that leaves some 5,000 hard-cover books which each year come to TIME'S Book Section for examination and possible review. Choosing between them week by week as they arrive is an often agonizing, always time-consuming process, even though many swiftly prove 1) badly written, 2) wretchedly edited, and 3) largely unnecessary. In this issue, instead of choosing, we attempt to give the reader a sampling of the American literary overflow by presenting thumbnail reviews of one whole week of books (excepting a handful, mostly how-to guides...
