Author: LINEAR.B.- FOX,M.
Title: The riddle of the Labyrinth. The quest to crack an ancient code and the uncovering of a lost civilisation.
Description: London, Profile Books, 2014. XX,363 p., illustrations. Paperback. 20 cm (Fox here presents for the first time in full Alice Kober's story. As Kober's published papers and private correspondence make plain, it was she who built the foundation on which Ventris's successful decipherment stood, and it is clear that without her work Linear B would never have been deciphered when it was, if at all. Her role has been likened to that of Rosalind Franklin, the English scientist now considered the unsung heroine of the mapping of the molecular structure of DNA)
