Although he received a Nobel Prize, an honorary knighthood, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Watson has said his greatest achievement has been his writing. Working with the collection of Watson's original documents at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Freidberg (U. of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) examines the foundations of Watson's textbooks, lectures, autobiographies, and works on ethics, without descending to the usual commentary on Watson's motivations. Freidberg finds Watson to be a significant innovator in scientific communication. He includes a number of facsimiles and photographs, including one aptly captioned "James D. Watson, professor, promoter, provocateur." Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
