Spellwright
Charlton, Blake.
New York : Tor, 2010.
"Nicodemus Weal has trained at the wizardly stronghold of Starhaven since
he was a boy. His mentor, the famous wizard Agwu Shannon, taught him how to cast
spells made from luminescent magical runes, how to peel written words off a page
and make them physically real, how to protect himself with defensive paragraphs,
and how to thrust sharply worded sentences at an enemy. Initially, Nicodemus
showed great promise. Able to forge magical runes with great speed, he was once
thought to be the Halcyon--a powerful spellwright prophesied to prevent the
apocalypse known as the Disjunction. There was only one problem: Nicodemus
couldn't spell. Every time he touched a magical text, he unintentionally
corrupted it, turning a useful spell into a dangerous, potentially deadly
misspell. Even now, at twenty-five, Nicodemus's problem remains so bad that he
is allowed to use his magic only for janitorial tasks. While his peers advance
as wizards, he is still an apprentice, living with other disabled spellwrights
and reading knightly romances that fuel his dreams of escape and adventure. When
a powerful wizard is murdered with a misspell, Nicodemus and Shannon both are
suspected. Worse, Nicodemus dreams of a foreign city under attack from an
ancient, godlike spell...and wakes to find Starhaven abuzz with news of that
city's actual destruction. A second nightmare makes Nicodemus begin to question
his own sanity. When there are more mysterious deaths, the authorities hunt him
as a murderer. Tormented and desperate, Nicodemus has no choice but to flee his
pursuers so that he can discover the truth about the murders, the nature of
magic...and himself."--Dust cover flap.

The
immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
Skloot, Rebecca, 1972-
New York : Crown Publishers, c2010.
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor
Southern tobacco farmer, yet her cells--taken without her knowledge--became one
of the most important tools in medicine. The first "immortal" human
cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for
more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine;
uncovered secrets of cancer and viruses; helped lead to in vitro fertilization,
cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet
Henrietta Lacks is buried in an unmarked grave. Her family did not learn of her
"immortality" until more than twenty years after her death, when
scientists began using her husband and children in research without informed
consent. The story of the Lacks family is inextricably connected to the dark
history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the
legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of--From publisher

The
language of life : DNA and the revolution in personalized medicine
Collins, Francis S.
New York : Harper, c2009.
A medical revolution is upon us, and leading geneticist Collins explains its
dimensions here. Our knowledge of the genetic basis for disease has increased
exponentially in recent years, and we are now able to understand and treat
diseases at the molecular level with personalized medicine--care based on an
individual's genetic makeup. Collins presents cutting-edge science for lay
readers who want to take control of their medical lives. He discusses cancer,
obesity, aging, racial differences, and a host of other concerns, as well as the
medical advances directly attributable to the Human Genome Project. He is also
not shy about taking on large political issues: he points out problems with our
current health-care system, discusses stem-cell research, and in a cogent
commentary, recommends--with caveats--direct-to-consumer DNA testing. He does a
superb job of humanizing a complex scientific and medical subject.--From
