Building a Better Tomato
The Democracy Machine
The Disease Detectives
The Quest to Perfect “The Scandalous Fruit”
How One Engineer Made Voting Possible for All
Unraveling How Viruses Go Viral
Tomatoes are a $2-billion industry in the United States. The commercially grown varieties are intended to ship well and have a long shelf life, but how do they actually taste? In the search for a superior alternative to bland and mealy grocery-store tomatoes, horticultural scientist Harry Klee and renowned taste researcher Linda Bartoshuk teamed up and embarked on a mission to find a specimen that will have you thinking you just picked it in your own back yard.
Engineer Juan Gilbert was driven to make it possible for people with disabilities to vote like everyone else. He spent 10 years perfecting Prime III, an accessible electronic voting system, and his creation earned rave reviews from elections supervisors around the country. Learn the story behind the voting machine designed to be used by everyone, and meet the man who has dedicated his life’s work to helping people who have been marginalized exercise this country’s most empowering guarantee: the right to vote.
The experts at the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute (EPI) make it their mission answering baffling questions such as how is a pig-borne disease transmitted in a Muslim country, what kinds of parasites do Florida ticks carry, and how has a cholera strain from Nepal evolved in Haiti? Inside the EPI, a center of high-tech labs and high-speed computers, more than 200 investigators join forces to combat pathogens that cause diseases in plants, animals, and humans.

Together the two parks comprised one of the biggest recreational facilities in the country before Disney World. From 1949 to 1969, boats passed each other on the Silver River—blacks on one side, whites on the other.

have urged me to make a cookbook of the “ People various recipes that I have created and served in
restaurants over the years. Never has that request become as pronounced as it has been since the opening of Blue Gill. Perhaps it’s because the food is more homey and comforting and less about flair— more accessible to the home cook. We live in a culture now filled with people who are more aware of what they are eating and that they have more choices than ever. And to be sure, families are busier now than they have ever been before. Fast food is readily available, but fresh food is too. If this cookbook inspires people to take a little more time to make homemade food and sit at the table with their family, then I will consider it a job well done.
