bioengineering

"Project Apogee had one mission: to create biologically engineered perfect teenagers. The teenagers were supposed to be expressions of a perfect genetic mapping of traits, an example of the New Human. But when the teens go before the project committee, they are found to be utterly normal and unremarkable--a disappointment. Then there's Alex, the lost teen who failed years ago, who might just be the most remarkable of them all"--Provided by publisher.

"Agatha DeLacey's family isn't rich or titled, so studying nursing at Ingold's East End hospital in London is a rare opportunity for her. Despite the school's focus on the innovative Bio-Mechanical program, Aggie cares more about the desperately poor human patients who flood the hospital, even if that means providing unauthorized treatment after-hours . . . and trusting a charming, endlessly resourceful thief. But the Artful Dodger is barely a step ahead of his underworld rivals, the menacing Bill Sykes and mercurial Oliver Twist, and Aggie's association with him soon leads her into danger"--Provided by publisher.

"Eighteen-year-old Julianne De Marchi is different. As in: she has an electrical undercurrent beneath her skin that stings and surges like a live wire. She can use it--to spark a fire, maybe even end a life--but she doesn't understand what it is. And she can barely control it, especially when she's anxious. Ryan Walsh was on track for a stellar football career when his knee blew out. Now he's a soldier--part of an experimental privatised military unit that has identified Jules De Marchi as a threat. Is it because of the weird undercurrent she's tried so hard to hide? Or because of her mother Angie's history as an activist against bio-engineering and big business? It's no coincidence that Ryan and Jules are in the same place at the same time--he's under orders to follow her, after all. But then an explosive attack on a city building by an unknown enemy throws them together in the most violent and unexpected way"--OCLC.

Bionic eyes are a Modern Engineering Marvel! In this engaging title, readers will explore the history of bionic eyes from early attempts to use electricity to aid vision to the development of computer chips that led to eye and brain implants. Mark Humayun and his development of the bionic eye implant is featured, and colorful infographics show eye anatomy and how implants work. See the future of bionic eyes as scientists work to restore sight in different types of vision loss. A timeline, a glossary, and an index supplement historical and color photos. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Checkerboard Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

In the dawn of the twenty-second century the world is a wasteland and there is one new power, Satori, which gives out climate-resistant seed that feeds the hungry nation, but when one of the Satori designers goes rogue, ex-Army Ranger Sienna Doss is sent by the government to find her so the government can once again have control of the nation.

Wynne Cage, the product of a mad experiment by the world's richest and most famous designer drug artist, runs away from her father's influence and struggles to make a life for herself in a culture where technology allows the elite to choose their age, sex, and species at will.
