LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER THE BEAST Lance Reed didn't need this exasperating female's endless chatter. Couldn't she tell that he wasn't looking for a friend? Much less that dreaded w word: wedding. Still, there was something about her warm, gentle smile that suddenly had him imagining a future with her…a future that could never be. THE BEAUTY Melanie knew it was going to take a good woman's lovin' to melt Lance's tough exterior. But one look at this irresistibly sexy man told her he was a keeper. And Melanie wasn't going anywhere—except down the aisle! Where the bridal bouquet goes from daughter to mom! Look for Never too Late for Love, coming in February 1999—only in Silhouette Romance.
What If One Plus One Is Not Two? Daniel McMullan What If One Plus One Is Not Two? shares an internal dialogue dissecting some of life’s most perplexing questions. Fascinated by chemistry in school, nineteen year-old McMullan pondered over different theories of nature while writing in his notebooks. This led him to epiphanies that completely changed his understanding of the world. For over a decade he organized and elaborated on those writings to form this book. Although we desire a rational understanding of life, McMullan suggests that an honest analysis of any conclusion reveals unreliable assumptions at the foundation. Come along for the ride as he explores the philosophical implications of this paradigm-shifting perspective.

We are in the midst of a revolution. It is a scientific revolution built upon the tools of molecular biology, with which we probe and prod the living world in ways unimaginable a few decades ago. Need to track a bacterium at the root of a hospital outbreak? No problem: the offending germ's complete genetic profile can be obtained in 24 hours. We insert human DNA into E. coli bacteria to produce our insulin. It is natural to look at biotechnology in the 21st century with a mix of wonder and fear. But biotechnology is not as 'unnatural' as one might think. All living organisms use the same molecular processes to replicate their genetic material and the same basic code to 'read' their genes. The similarities can be seen in their DNA. Here, John Archibald shows how evolution has been 'plugging-and-playing' with the subcellular components of life from the very beginning and continues to do so today. For evidence, we need look no further than the inner workings of our own cells. Molecular biology has allowed us to gaze back more than three billion years, revealing the microbial mergers and acquisitions that underpin the development of complex life. One Plus One Equals One tells the story of how we have come to this realization and its implications.
