This hugely influential book, published in 1966 as a 60th birthday tribute to Max Delbrück, is now republished as The Centennial Edition. On first publication, the book was hailed as "[introducing] into the literature of science, for the first time, a self-conscious historical element in which the participants in scientific discovery engage in writing their own chronicle. As such, it is an important document in the history of biology..." (Journal of History of Biology). And in another review it was described as "required reading for every student of experimental biology...[who] will sense the smell and rattle of the laboratory" (Bioscience). The book was a formative influence on many of today's leading scientists.

Phage and the Origins of Molecular Biology, The Centennial Edition PDF

This book recreates the times where an intimately connected group of brilliant young scientits came togeteher to do research around the inspiring and challenging Max Delbruck. What mattered above all was the science.And everything fell in place: Cold Spring Harbor, Cambridge, Institut Pasteur and Caltech. What came out is Molecular Biology, no more, no less... Read this book to understand that science like this can only happen once and the atmosphere around it can never be duplicated.

By Serge Ledan

Although some written more than half a century ago, these essays hold up very well. A great read for anyone working in, or interested in molecular biology and it's origins.
