The Book That Changed My Life
Z 1039 .A87 B65 2006
"Books make a difference." So say the 71 authors whose short essays, identifying the book or books that have had an impact on their writing and their views of life, fill these pages. Selections range from the Sears Roebuck Catalog to John Hersey's Hiroshima to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird to the "Nancy Drew" novels. Fun to read and filled with lots of suggestions for future reading.
Get A Life
PR 9369.3 .G6 G48 2006
Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer's novel about an environmental activist who himself becomes radioactive when he is treated for thyroid cancer. The story follows Paul on his personal journey as he recuperates at his parents' house, away from his wife and child.
The Plausibility of Life
QH 366.2 K57 2007
Kirschner and Gerhart's award winning book about the flawed part of Darwin's theory. Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was well explained, it begged the question, "where do new adaptations come from?" Kirschner and Gerhart use modern scientific method to propose that organisms use cellular and molecular mechanisms to build variation. Their theory has resulted in a well written, groundbreaking work.

RG 133.5 .S666 2006
A "probing study" of the relationship between the infertility industry and the market that drives it.
After Dolly
QH 442.2 .W544 2006
Remember Dolly, the cloned sheep? Subtitled "The Uses and Misuses of Human Cloning," this book, written by the scientist who led this amazing effort, tells Dolly's story and provides perspectives on the benefits and ethical issues of cloning. Reads like a novel.
