 | Impact of the Gene by Colin Tudge
In the face of huge biotechnological advances, Colin Tudge tries to temper enthusiasms. He brings back the figure of Gregor Mendel, excoriated by the religious and university communities for his work that ultimately laid the foundations of modern genetic theories. He also discusses the need for ethical guidelines when working with such awesome and potentially transformative technologies. AUTHOR: Colin Tudge

 | Silicon Sky
For more than a decade some of the world`s most powerful defense companies have raced to launch the first low-earth-orbit commercial satellites. The prize? An explosive global market for personal communications worth billions of dollars. Fresh out of Harvard Business School, David Thompson entered the fray with an insane idea: to build his own rockets, satellites, and a multi-million-dollar corporation that could go head to head against the big guys. The story of his electrifying grab for the heavens -- huge start-up costs, mind-blowing technical obstacles, and dark tangos with investors -- is told by acclaimed writer Gary Dorsey, who was there reporting from inside. Silicon Sky reads like fast-paced fiction, and traces the advent not just of a single company but of a quickly emerging technological industry.
