Two pooches named Harold and Chester are less than ecstatic when their owners go on vacation and board them and the family's rabbit, Bunnicula, at the Chateau Bow-Wow. Once there, Chester notices that the other animals are acting a little strange, and when one of them disappears, he decides to investigate. AUTHOR: James Howe, Lynn Munsinger, Victor Garber

 | Making PCR by Paul Rabinow
Making PCR is the fascinating, behind-the-scenes account of the invention of one of the most significant biotech discoveries of our time - the polymerase chain reaction. Skillfully blending narrative description and interviews with all the major players, Paul Rabinow explores what it means to be a scientist today, the effects of doing science in the high-risk, high-reward environment of biotech, and what a scientific discovery or invention is at a time when it is possible to patent life itself. PCR has profoundly transformed the practices and potential of molecular biology by extending scientists` ability to identify and manipulate genetic material. It facilitates the identification of precise segments of DNA and accurately reproduces millions of copies of the given segment in a short period of time. In sum, Making PCR shows how a contingently assembled practice emerged, composed of distinctive subjects, the site in which they worked, and the object they invented. AUTHOR: Paul Rabinow
