The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks....
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 cellstaken without her knowledgebecame 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, theyd weigh more than 50 million metric tonsas much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bombs effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.
Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave

Forgot to add. I’m reading them in numerical order, not any kind of suggested reading order. I’m up to The Fifth Elephant.

Funny thing, I was looking for a thread or a site with a listing of good books that would provide a person with a decent Western classical education.
Working on:
The Civil War series, by Shelby Foote (for the third time)
The Reformation, by Diarmaid McCullough (struggling get through it, though)
The Great Gatsby, by F Scott Fitzgerald

Weber is one of my favorite authors. I just finished reading the advanced copy of
A Rising Thunder which takes place immediately after
Mission of Honor.
I'm currently reading On Bended Knees by Bill Cunningham, which is about the Black Patch Tobacco War of 1904-9, and Choices of One, which is Timothy Zahn's newest Star Wars novel.
