Max Perutz and the Secret of Life
In this book, Georgina Ferry tells the extraordinary story of the father of molecular biology, Max Perutz, whose famous research team uncovered the structure of DNA.
What a Time I Am Having
Selected by his daughter Vivien, these letters chronicle Perutz's life through his own vivid, erudite, and humorous pen. With a spontaneity and directness no autobiography can match, this volume captures the hopes, roadblocks, and moments of elation throughout his 60-year quest to understand the molecular biology of hemoglobin.
I Wish I'd Made You Angry Earlier
This collection of essays from Nobel Laureate Max Perutz explores a wide range of scientific and personal topics with insight and lucidity. It includes lively anecdotes about key figures in 20th-century science.

Architects of Structural Biology
This is a history of the personalities and single-minded devotion of four Nobel laureates who played a pivotal role in the creation of a new and prevalent branch of biology. This led to major medical advances in one of the greatest centres of scientific research: the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, which they helped to establish.

Max Perutz And The Secret Of Life
Few scientists have thought more deeply about their calling and its impact on humanity than Max Perutz (1914-2002). Born in Vienna, Jewish by descent, lapsed Catholic by religion, Max came to Cambridge in 1936, to join the lab of the legendary Communist thinker J.D. Bernal. In 1940 he was interned and deported to Canada as an enemy alien, only to be brought back and set to work on a bizarre top secret war project. Seven years later he founded the small research group in which Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the structure of DNA. Max Perutz himself explored the protein haemoglobin and his work, which won him a shared Nobel Prize in 1962, launched a new era of medicine, heralding today's astonishing advances in the genetic basis of disease. Max Perutz's story, wonderfully told by Georgina Ferry, brims with life; it has the zest of an adventure novel and is full of extraordinary characters. Max was demanding, passionate and driven but also humorous, compassionate and loving. Georgina Ferry's absorbing biography is a marvellous tribute to a great scientist.
