The road to wisdom : on truth, science, faith, and trust / by Collins, Francis S.,author.;
"In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgment and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources -- their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately -- and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life."--

Francie's got a gun / by Snyder, Carrie,author.;
"Reminiscent of the early novels of Miriam Toews, a suspenseful and poignant tale from an award-winning writer about a teenaged girl navigating a chaotic family in a close-knit small town. This novel starts exactly where the title does: with Francie, a panicked teenager who, we quickly realize, is holding a gun and desperately looking for a place to hide. From this startling opening, each new chapter sweeps us into the life of a separate character who has interacted with Francie--until gradually a full picture comes into view. We piece together what has brought Francie to her breaking point, and the sometimes deliberate, sometimes unwitting complicity of an entire community in what eventually transpires with the illicit gun. In Francie, award-winning writer Carrie Snyder realizes the great promise of her previous fiction, assembling a cast of unforgettable, tragi-comic characters who are equal parts compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache. Here is a propulsive, multi-layered novel leavened with humour--and a memorable, affecting examination of the complex dynamics in a family that is breaking down and coming apart in front of the questioning, irrepressible girl at its centre."--
