The Magic of the CollectiveA life in the service of scienceThis memoir is not simply an account of Kai Simons' career in cell biology. It is witness to the many changes that have occurred in Europe from the immediate post-war period in Scandinavia, through the affluent late twentieth century in Germany, including reunification and the growth of science and technology in the former soviet-bloc. It is a reflection on many aspects of modern scientific research including the current domination of competition over collaboration, scientific fraud and whistleblowing, and the dichotomy between science and the arts. Also, it touches on the influence of modern biology on science and society from social Darwinism to the response to COVID-19 vaccines. The book will interest not only the thousands of researchers who have been influenced by Kai Simons over the years, but also other scientists who are currently engaged in creating new laboratories, university departments and research institutes, young people setting out on their own careers in research, and a broader audience as well.

This book is a collection of stories about the life of C. Lawrence Desmore that I wish to share with my children. These stories are experiences I have lived that we've never talked about. However, you need to know that your father is human and has made mistakes and here are some of them. The difference between success and defeat, is how you handle it. If you can look at yourself tomorrow and vow that you learned from yesterday's mistakes, then you can say;THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN A-G-A-I-N! This is twenty plus years of learning. Some lessons have been negative and some very positive. But all in all, it was life. Sometimes the wait is worth it, I only hope you, my children and other readers enjoy it.

Retire to Adventure!, first published in 1962, is the lively account by Harrison and Shirley Karr of their travels in the 1950s across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Traveling first by an early model of teardrop trailer, then a larger Airstream, the author recounts their experiences with the aim of helping others achieve a satisfying retirement, rich in experiences and memories. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs.From the Foreword: "Since I retired in 1954 my wife Shirley and I have spent a major part of the time traveling the highways and byways of the United States, Canada, and Mexico in a travel trailer. Always we have been searching for adventure - adventure suitable to our years and physical capacities. Other adventurers no doubt have faced greater hardships and dangers, and have performed more feats of daring. But not one of them, I feel sure, has derived more downright fun from searching for and finding lively adventure. The following pages recount some of the outstanding events in our eight years of carefree wandering. If this book succeeds in making some small contribution to the literature on adventure, the contribution will be this: it suggests a mode of adventuring that is available to almost any retired person of reasonably good health and a modicum of financial independence."

Stellar Nursery follows trans/nonbinary poet and artist K.G. Strayer's struggle for bodily autonomy. From abortion to top surgery, colliding galaxies to cellular division, Strayer's lyric prose explores what it means to move through the modern world in a contentious body. The state-mandated "counseling" packet Strayer receives a week before their abortion in 2014 describes the embryo in relation to coins-the height of a nickel, the diameter of a dime. Meant to make them picture holding it in their hands. Instead, Strayer's imagination conjures a whole galaxy in its place-a star being born. Years later in 2022, Roe V. Wade is overturned. The decision is a catalyst that sets in motion explosive consequences in Strayer's personal life, and their access to life-saving top surgery hangs in the balance. Strayer's memoir is a heartfelt account of the layered ways our struggles against fascism converge in the context of lived experience. To meet the world fully embodied-is that a choice we can all make equally?
