Cook has created another chilling medical suspense story, this time using the perils of genetic engineering as the central theme. Readers will be captivated by this genius child, V. J. Frank. Dr. Victor Frank, a biomolecular researcher, has tampered with the genetic make-up of his son during his in vitro fertilization and implantation in a surrogate mother. To all appearances, V. J. is a physically perfect child with super intellectual capabilities. However, when his mother begins to suspect some changes and problems with V. J.'s behavior, the plot takes off, keeping readers always in suspense. This timely topic of genetic engineering is imaginatively explored.
Conceptual Structures for STEM Research and Education
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2013, held in Mumbai, India, in January 2013.
The theme for this year’s conference was “Knowledge Representation for STEM Research and Education.” Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have, in recent decades, emerged as a lively new research areas.
Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom
Want to start "making" but don't know where to begin or what to buy? This book is a great and practical resource for educators who are looking to incorporate meaningful play, tinkering, and STEAM initiatives into the classroom experience. (STEAM = Science Technology Engineering Art Math) Full of information, examples, and anecdotes from makers and teachers, this book will help you take the plunge and set up a mini or full-fledged Fab Lab.
Eight Amazing Engineering Stories: Using the Elements to Create Extraordinary Technologies
Eight Amazing Engineering Stories reveals the stories behind how engineers use specific elements to create the material world around us. In eight chapters, the EngineerGuy team exposes the magnificence of the innovation and engineering of digital camera imagers, tiny accelerometers, atomic clocks, enriched uranium, batteries, microwave ovens, lasers, and anodized metals. In addition, short primers cover the scientific principles underlying the engineering, including waves, nuclear structure, and electronic transitions.
The third edition of the Dictionary of Ceramic Science and Engineering builds on the heavily revised 2nd edition which, in turn, expanded the original edition by some 4000 entries to include new fabrication, testing, materials, and vocabulary.
