"Imagine the coldest day you can remember, the biting wind chilling you to your core...​  Now imagine spending each day wandering through the city, with no home, no bed, no place to get warm." This is reality for over 20,000 Detroiters. 1 in every 42 people in the city are homeless. Because of this, shelters are often too overwhelmed and under-supported to help every individual in need. Too often people in need of basic necessities have to fend for themselves on the streets, and in the harsh cold of Michigan winters the difficulty to survive is only exacerbated.   Homeless people become trapped in a cycle. Often it begins when a person loses his or her job, then their home, and eventually ends up on the streets for anywhere from a few months to upwards of 20 years. What started as a class project for a young student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, transpired into an agent for change and empowerment within her community.

No one can say exactly where Henrietta Lacks is buried: during the many years Rebecca Skloot spent working on this book, even Lacks's hometown of Clover, Virginia, disappeared. ---  Ted Conover. Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa . She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the bil...

Since its discovery by Wilfrid Voynich in an Italian monastery in 1912, the Voynich Manuscript has baffled scholars and cryptanalysists with its unidentifiable script and bizarre illustrations. Written in an unknown language or an as yet undecipherable code, this medieval manuscript contains hundreds of illustrations of unknown plants, cosmological charts, and inexplicable scenes of naked “nymphs” bathing in a green liquid that some interpret as a symbolic depiction of human reproduction and the joining of the soul with the body.   Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill explore the mystery surrounding the Voynich Manuscript , examining the many existing theories about the possible authors of this work and the information it may contain. They trace the speculative history of the manuscript and reveal those who may be connected to it, including Roger Bacon, John Dee, and the Cathars. With the possibility that it may be a lost alchemical text or other esoteric work, this...
