Progress in Medical Genetics
Over the past decade, medical genetics has emerged as an important and powerful medical speciality with increasing appreciation of its role and function among the medical specialities. This emergence is related to a great extent to the progress in the Human Genome Project which promises wide ranging applications in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases. Nevertheless, discussions about the role of genetics in preventive medicine and public health rightfully lead to ethical, legal and social concerns about general applicability of genetic testing in the population. The interpretation of the word prevention in the context of genetic diseases leads to the unavoidable discussions of genetic engineering, prenatal diagnosis and selective termination, as well as broader concerns about discrimination in health care coverage, employment and in society.

The Brightonians
The Brightonians focuses upon the bitter rivalry and social one-upmanship that fuels the lives of a group of socialites who live in this far-from-quintessential seaside town. Already vying for supremacy of their circle, the chance discovery of a 50-year-old letter belonging to a local drag queen takes their sparring to hilarious new heights. Initially leading to them back to the saucier side of Brighton in the swinging 60s – what they ultimately discover is even more shocking – connecting one of them to the past in ways that no-one could have imagined.
Mount Pleasant
Located along the shores of the Charleston harbor, Mount Pleasant is a graceful, enchanting community known for its exquisite views of the water and landscape. Once comprised of five small hamlets, the area has seen phenomenal increases in both business and population, a growth that was correctly predicted when the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge linked the town with Charleston in 1929. It is a place where small-town charm lingers, even among the fast-paced life in which most residents now take part. Mount Pleasant: The Friendly Town begins the community's story where Mount Pleasant: The Victorian Village left off, and it bridges the 1930s with modern times. This compelling history illustrates the ways in which Mount Pleasant coped with the happenings of the 20th century, including such far-reaching events as World War II and the recovery following the Great Depression, and those much more intimate such as the devastation of Hurricane Hugo and the sesquicentennial celebration of the town. Readers will experience this unique area of South Carolina through the eyes of the residents who lived here during the town's coming of age.
Mary, Dear Mary (What's Growing in Your Garden?)
You were born to do something more--something in addition to being a spouse, parent, and employee or business owner or perhaps you're approaching adulthood and wondering what unique DNA God has given you to do what He knows is the best path for your life and mission on earth. Mary, Dear Mary (What's Growing in Your Garden?) began as a poem written a few months after becoming a widow for the second time--a season that naturally required prayer and thought about the future. It is a spin off the nursery rhythm, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?" that encourages us to select carefully the seeds we plant in life so the garden we grow flourishes with goodness and blessing for...
