Micro [sound recording] / by Crichton, Michael.; Crichton, Michael; Lloyd, John Bedfordnrt;

Three men are found dead in the locked second-floor office of a Honolulu building, with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts covering their bodies. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed robot, nearly invisible to the human eye. In the lush forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Trillions of microorganisms, tens of thousands of bacteria species, are being discovered; they are feeding a search for priceless drugs and applications on a scale beyond anything previously imagined. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up. Nanigen MicroTechnologies dispatches the group to a mysterious lab in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will open a whole new scientific frontier. But once in the Oahu rain forest, the scientists are thrust into a hostile wilderness that reveals profound and surprising dangers at every turn. Armed only with their knowledge of the natural world, they find themselves prey to a technology of radical and unbridled power. To survive, they must harness the inherent forces of nature itself.

The only problem is, we can't see it. Images and descriptions reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. An introduction to the science and technology of small things. An overview of recent scientific advances that have given us our ever-shrinking microtechnology - for instance, an information processor connected by wires only 1,000 atoms wide. New methods are described that are used to study nanostructures, suggest ways of understanding their often bizarre behavior, and outline their uses in technology. The various means of making nanostructures are explained and speculated about their importance for critical developments in information processing, computation, biomedicine, and other areas. No Small Matter considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnology - from the potential of quantum computers and single-molecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about self-replicating nanosystems.

The Devil's Deal : a Raine Stockton dog mystery / by Ball, Donna,author.(CARDINAL)523144; Blue Merle Publishing (Firm),publisher.;

At the annual Hansonville, North Carolina Founder's Day Festival, dog trainer and Humane Society volunteer Raine Stockton sets up a booth to raise funds for the local animal shelter. When a stranger wanders into the booth with his young daughter and their beautiful black Lab, the peaceful afternoon is turned upside down. Within moments the man is arrested for murder, his child is placed in foster care, and Raine finds herself the temporary custodian of what may well be the most valuable dog in the world. Raine soon discovers that the arrested man is a famous scientist she greatly admires, and that her foster dog, Bongo, is one of an elite group of dogs bred and trained by the scientist to detect concealed microtechnology. Bongo's talents go far beyond that, however, putting his life and the lives of others in danger. The ensuing chaos leaves Raine shaken to her core and questioning herself and everything she has ever believed.
