The editorial on plagiarism ("Don't Play It Again, Sam") in the September/October issue of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine has hit on several subjects for which I have much interest. I have served for many years on the Student Honor Boards at the University of Maryland.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of computational sciences addressing the operation and management of texts as inputs or outputs of computational devices. The reviewed book is an excellent resource for researchers or graduate students interested in NLP, artificial intelligence, and linguistics, as well as those interested in the most recent advances in information management and retrieval in a health-care setting.

Blogging. Yes, people are still blogging, expounding upon their feelings daily to a friendly and receptive audience, sharing jokes, and exchanging thoughts. My question is: out of the zillion of blogs online (a slight exaggeration, perhaps), how do people find these fabulous blogs that enthrall them on a continual and regular basis? Personally, I have yet to discover a blog that can hold my attention for more than a few weeks. I have never created my own cyber diary, although perhaps the columns I write for this magazine could be seen as a blogging variant (Mag-blogging? Magging? Ag-ging?). I would cherish a new online haunt to while away the hours-on a topic I am interested in-reading, perusing, clicking, laughing at, laughing with, and contributing to. The new Web 2.0 sites including Facebook and Twitter are great for socializing when time permits, but I lose interest when my academic side twinges for intellectual fodder. Already, I spend many honest hours a week reading the IEEE Engineering and Biology Society (EMBS)-related e-mails, e-journals, e-magazines, e-newsletters, and more traditional and inkfilled sections of newspapers (shocking, I know). There are times when I wish I could visit just one Web site and get my fill of EMB news-past, present, and future-with a smattering of entertainment, advertisements, and a chance to interact with peers. Do you see where I am headed with all of this?

On a recent trip to London, my wife and I spent a sunny, autumn Sunday afternoon taking a guided London walk (http://www.walks.com). We try to do this each time we are in the U.K. capitol, for these tours explore parts of the city that we would never find on our own. The guides are every bit as interesting as the sights. We have had guides who were actors, historians, professors, archaeologists, or just plain interesting people. Their presentations are as entertaining as they are educational. On a recent tour, we visited Dickens' and Shakespeare's London, with a guide who recited excerpts from the writings of these giants of English literature at sites where the authors had visited, lived, or were prominent in their work. These inexpensive excursions are a great way to spend about two hours on the streets and lanes of London and are highly recommended for any reader who finds himself or herself in that part of the world.

Starting in 2010, the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is launching a new series of forums addressing the grand challenges in biomedical engineering. The forum series will review the significant progress we have made in the past decade and identify the grand challenges facing the scientific community in a specific discipline within the biomedical engineering field in the next ten years.

This book is for engineers and scientists not initially trained in molecular biology to broaden their background and perhaps pique their interest on this multidisciplinary discipline. The book's 11 chapters are supplemented by a good up-to-date bibliography. The book is intended for use in a one-semester classroom course with the purpose of familiarizing biomedical or chemical engineering students, but it should also be considered a valuable reference for academics and scientists stepping in the area of molecular biology.

includes some techniques employed to characterize large protein molecules: the use of microarrays, enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay (ELISA) tests, and X-ray crystallography. In Chapter 10, GMOs are defined, along with some interesting examples of transgenic plants, transgenic animals, and animal cells, and the explanation of the recombinant DNA technology used to produce them. The different techniques employed in animal reproductive cloning are described. This chapter also provides the definition, classification, and sources of stem cells, with an emphasis on their future potential in regenerative medicine. Chapter 11 offers a summary of the theoretical framework to guide ethical decisions. In this context, the text deals with controversial features in genetic research today: the production of genetically modified food crops, the development and use of chimeras, and finally the use of pluripotent stem cells from human embryos. This book can be useful as supplementary material for students and scientists, and as an excellent resource for academics teaching in the area (its plenty of sketches illustrating the text). It succeeds in motivating anyone interested in molecular biology. Ana Vallés-Lluch Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain

This well-edited, multi-authored (77), 19-chapter book provides an in-depth exploration of issues related to automated image analysis applied to life sciences. This is not an encyclopedic review of the state of the art but a presentation of a wide range of applications, from the detection of signalling events in subcellular structures to the automated analysis of tissue structures, the dynamics of cell populations, or in vivo microscopy.
