Unromance
"Sawyer Greene knows romance. She's a bestselling author of the genre--or she was, until her ex left her with nothing but writer's block and a bitter, broken heart. But when she gets stuck in the elevator with a handsome stranger, she sees their meet cute for what it is: just a one-night stand. It might have worked, too, if they could stop running into each other. Actor Mason West sees Sawyer's reappearance in his life as a sign. Obviously, they're meant to cure each other. Him of the hopeless romanticism that only ends in heartbreak--and tabloid trainwrecks--and Sawyer of her writer's block. Their agreement is simple: Sawyer will be Mason's perfect romcom love interest, showering him with every romance trick in the book so he never falls for them again. Only rules? 1. No (more) sex, and 2. No matter how swoony the circumstances, absolutely no falling in love. It's a foolproof plan. Until Sawyer and Mason find that, once set in motion, some plots cannot be stopped--and despite their best efforts, they might be hurtling towards a happy ending..."-- Provided by publisher. -

The Living Medicine : How a Lifesaving Cure Was Nearly Lost-and Why It Will Rescue Us When Antibiotics Fail
"First discovered in 1917, bacteriophages-or "phages"-are living medicines: viruses that devour bacteria... When phages were first recognized as medicines, their promise seemed limitless. Grown by research scientists and physicians in France, the Soviet Union, and elsewhere to target specific bacteria, they cured cholera, dysentery, bubonic plague, and other deadly infectious diseases. But after Stalin's brutal purges and the rise of antibiotics, phage therapy declined and nearly was lost to history-until today. In The Living Medicine, acclaimed science journalist Lina Zeldovich reveals the remarkable history of phages, told through the lives of the French, Soviet, and American scientists who discovered, developed, and are reviving this unique cure for seemingly-intractable diseases."-- Provided by publisher. -
