genetic engineering

Max's destiny to save the world is especially challenging to do when she is faced with her ultimate match, a newer and better version of herself, Maximum Ride II.

After the mutant Erasers abduct the youngest member of their group, the "bird kids," who are the result of genetic experimentation, take off in pursuit and find themselves struggling to understand their own origins and purpose.

Compiled from source documents, reports, and studies, this book presents current and historical data on genetics and genetic engineering.

Mori and her friends set out to seek help for Ilana from Dr. Varden, one of the founders of Old Harmonie, but meeting Outsiders gives them new perspective on their utopian community.

A trailblazing biologist grapples with her role in the biggest scientific discovery of our era: a cheap, easy way of rewriting genetic code, with nearly limitless promise and peril.

"James D. Watson, the Nobel laureate whose pioneering work helped unlock the mystery of DNA's structure, charts [this] ... scientific journey ... from the discovery of the double helix to today's controversies to what the future may hold ... [Includes] findings in gene editing, epigenetics, agricultural chemistry, as well as ... chapters on personal genomics and cancer research ... [Explores] DNA's impact--practical, social, and ethical--on our society and our world"--Provided by publisher.

"It's a normal day for archaeologists on a faraway planet until they find a certain artifact. Soon members of the archaeological team start to change. They are mutating into ancient aliens of this planet. Bug Team Alpha is deployed to stop this infection. Each book includes a character list, mission report, discussion questions, writing prompts, and glossary"--Provided by the publisher.

Introduces readers to the importance of agricultural engineering, explaining the ways that agricultural engineers are making a difference in the world and emphasizing the variety of work available in this field. Readers will learn about new and industrious ways engineering can be used to create better seeds and crops, to work with animals, to harness renewable energy, and much more.

The Flock members try to live normal lives by going to school and making friends while they search for their parents, but when the Erasers return the group must escape again and Max finds that her destiny is to save the world.

Joining a scientific expedition gives Max and the flock a perfect opportunity to distance themselves from the heated debate over their future, but frostbite isn't the only danger in the Antarctic! A powerful figure in the underworld has promised the super-human kids to the highest bidder--and he has the robotic army to ensure the goods are delivered!.
