The end of ordinary : a novel / by Ashton, Edward(Science fiction writer),author.(CARDINAL)857443;
"Drew Bergen is an Engineer. He builds living things, one gene at a time. He's also kind of a doofus. Six years after the Stupid War--a bloody, inconclusive clash between the Engineered and the UnAltered--that's a dangerous combination. Hannah is Drew's greatest project, modified in utero to be just a bit more than human. She's also his daughter. Drew's working on a new project now. He thinks his team is developing a spiffy new strain of corn, but Hannah's classmate and her mysterious companion disagree. They think he's cooking up the end of the world. When one of Drew's team members disappears, he begins to suspect that they might be right. Soon they're all in far over their heads, with corporate goons and government operatives hunting them, and millions of lives in the balance. Energetic and bitingly satirical, The End of Ordinary is a riveting near-future thriller that asks an important question: if we can't get along when our differences are barely skin deep, what happens when they run all the way down to the bone?"--Page 4 of cover

Zero to genetic engineering hero : the beginner's guide to programming bacteria at home, school & in the makerspace / by Pahara, Justin,Author(DLC)nb2022014322; Legault, Julie,Author(DLC)nb2022014325;
Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is made to provide you with a first glimpse of the inner-workings of a cell. It further focuses on skill-building for genetic engineering and the Biology-as-a-Technology mindset (BAAT). This book is designed and written for hands-on learners who have little knowledge of biology or genetic engineering. This book focuses on the reader mastering the necessary skills of genetic engineering while learning about cells and how they function. The goal of this book is to take you from no prior biology and genetic engineering knowledge toward a basic understanding of how a cell functions, and how they are engineered, all while building the skills needed to do so.

Oink : A Food for Thought Mystery / by Newton, J. L.;
Emily Addams, foodie professor of womens studies at Arbor State, a land grant university in Northern California, finds herself an unlikely suspect in the poisoning of a man she barely knows: Professor Peter Elliott of Plant Biology, the hotshot developer of a new genetically modified corn. How did her cornbread end up in his hand as he lay in the smelly muck of a pigs pen? As Emily and her colleagues try to identify who and what has poisoned Peter, they also struggle to keep a new and corporate-minded administration from defunding the womens and ethnic studies programs.

The truth behind GMOs / by Smundak, Katharina,author.(CARDINAL)416245;
Grades 5-8.Includes bibliographical references and index.What are GMOs anyway? -- Why are we using GMO crops in the first place? -- What's all the fuss about? -- The root of the problem."Because the term "GMO" comes up in debates about food, it is important to understand the term. If you are curious about whether or not GMO foods are good or bad, keep in mind that 92 percent of corn in the U.S. is GMO corn. This enlightening book will help your readers by defining what GMO crops are, how they differ from past agricultural production methods, what scientists think about their effects on humans, and why they are so controversial. GMOs are fundamental to our current food system; this stimulating book explains why." -- WorldCatAccelerated Reader AR
