		Time, Love, Memory	Time, Love, Memory: A Great Biologist and His Quest for the Origins of Behavior by Jonathan Weiner is the tale of Seymour Benzer, one of the great geneticists, characters, teachers, and men of our time. This is the story of a scientist and his fascination with nature, and it's told by an author who has aolready won a Pulitzer Prize for his previous book (The Beak of the Finch).		The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.	A collection of clinical tales from Oliver Sacks, the famous neurologist. I have reviewed this title in this month's Cape Horn.
		Vox: A Novel	This novel from the early 1990s caused quite a stir when it first came out. Indeed, even now the reviews are mixed (just take a look at Amazon.com). However, it is a thought-provoking treatment of the anonymity that things like a party line, and yes, even an Internet chat room, can provide.		The New Quotable Woman	A collection of quotes by women by Eline Partnow, assembled in a manner similar to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, although, unfortunately, most of these won't be as familiar to most people. However, it's a good source of quotes and ideas, just the same.

		The Merck Index	The Merck Index is one of those "must haves" for anyone who works with chemicals on a regular basis. In what other place can you find everything from the structure to the history of the molecule? Personally, I used this as background on my nicotine pages.		At the Bench	This book bills itself as the essential laboratory navigator, and it may well be. It's a good book for those just starting with laboratory work, and it has some tips for the old pros as well.
		Job: A Comedy of Justice	Books for brains don't have to be non-fiction. Job is an excellent example of Heinlein's work, and each time I read it, I catch a little more.		A Time to Kill	Here's another one of those thought-provoking fiction books. Grisham's style may not be for everyone, but when reading this book, one needs to step back and wonder "why" he/she is hoping for the protagonist to prevail. Many may know the plot from the movie, but the book is slightly different.

		The Amazing Brain	This book, by Robert Ornstein and Richard F. Thompson, is one of the best I have found to explain this amazing, complex organ. Accessible to the layperson and a good introduction for serious students, this is a book I give people who want to learn about this fascinating subject.		Einstein Simplified: Cartoons on Science	This collection is from the great science cartoonist Sidney Harris, whose work has been featured in American Scientist for a number of years.
		The Eighth Day of Creation	This expanded edition of Horace Freeland Judson's 1979 masterpiece tells of molecular biology's search for the secret of life.		Designing for the Web: Getting Started in a New Medium	Another excellent O'Reilly guide (by Jennifer Niederst with Edie Freedman) discusses the special problems of presenting information online.
