The amoeba in the room : lives of the microbes / by Money, Nicholas P.,author.(CARDINAL)330432;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Eden -- Lenses -- Leviathan -- Dirt and water -- Air -- Naked ape -- Vulcan's Forge and Dante's Hell -- New Jerusalem."In The Amoeba in the Room, Nicholas Money explores the extraordinary breadth of the microbial world and the vast swathes of biological diversity that can be detected only using molecular methods. Although biologists have achieved a remarkable level of understanding about the way multicellular organisms operate, Money shows that most people continue to ignore the fact that most of life isn't classified as either plant or animal. Significant discoveries about the composition of the biosphere are making it clear that the sciences have failed to comprehend the full spectrum of life on earth, which is far more diverse than previously imagined. Money's engaging work considers this diversity in all its forms, exploring environments from the backyard pond to the ocean floor to the "mobile ecosystem" of our own bodies. A revitalized vision of life emerges from Money's lively narrative of the lowly, one in which we are challenged to reconsider our existence in proper relationship to the single-celled protists, bacteria, and viruses that constitute most of life on earth. Proposing a radical reformulation of biology education and research in the life sciences, The Amoeba in the Room is a compelling romp through the least visible and yet most prodigiously magnificent aspects of life on earth"--

Driven by his single mother's dreams for his survival and success, Kevin Powell became the first in his family to attend a university, where he became a student leader keenly aware of widespread social injustice. But the struggle to define himself and break out of poverty continued into adulthood, with traumatic periods of homelessness and despair. As a young star journalist with Vibe magazine, Powell interviewed luminaries such as Tupac Shakur, writing influential chronicles of the evolution of hip-hop from his eyewitness view. Now, with searing honesty, Powell examines his troubled relationships, his appearance on MTV's first season of The Real World, his battles with alcohol and depression, his two campaigns for Congress, and the uplifting trip to Africa that renewed his sense of personal mission. Finally, Powell embarks on a search for the father he never really knew in a redemptive passage from abandonment to self-discovery. A striking memoir by a child of post-Civil Rights America, The Education of Kevin Powell gives eloquent testimony to the power of the soul to heal"--

Indiscreet / by Jewel, Carolyn.(CARDINAL)426421; Copyright Paperback Collection (Library of Congress)(CARDINAL)376993;

"Edward, Marquess of Foye, would have been happy to continue his life as an unmarried gentleman rake, but his brother's death changes everything. As the last of his line, Edward must now marry. Heart already broken by a capricious young girl, he vows to find an older woman--seasoned, mature...and no threat to his feelings. Sabine Godard was educated by an Oxford don, and her studies became her salvation after an event in her past left her unwilling to accept the touch of any man. Though she never intended to fall in love, passion defies logic when she and Edward meet. Together they explore temptation and sensuality, healing old wounds...until events require them to risk everything for their love."--p. [4] of cover.
