Changing lives through genetic engineering / by Allman, Toney,author.(CARDINAL)674248;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 71-72) and index."The hope and promise of genetic engineering for all people born with genetic diseases-that a lifetime of treatments and medicines can be replaced with a one-time cure. It is not just sick people, however, who can benefit from genetic engineering. Every living thing carries genetic information in the nucleus of almost every cell in the body. Scientists say that genes are the words in the giant book of life written by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This book makes reproduction possible, whether for bacteria or a plant or a human being. It determines how living things develop, what traits and characteristics they have, and what species of life they are"--Ages 14-18

AstroNuts. by Scieszka, Jon,author.; Weinberg, Steven,1984-illustrator.;
Carbon dioxide is out of control on Earth, and the fate of humankind rests in the paws of four experimental, untested Animal Astronauts (AlphaWolf, SmartHawk, LaserShark, and StinkBug) who are seeking another habitable planet; first destination is the Plant Planet which at first looks perfect, except that the abundant plant life can think for itself--and it thinks that it really does not like the AstroNuts.

The biology of belief : unleashing the power of consciousness, matter and miracles / by Lipton, Bruce H.(CARDINAL)464914;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-211) and index.Lessons from the petri dish : in praise of smart cells and smart students -- It's the environment, stupid -- The magical membrane -- The new phsyics : planting both feet firmly on thin air -- Biology of belief -- Growth and protection -- Conscious parenting : parents as genetic engineers.Author Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.--From publisher description.
