Thomas Hunt Morgan

    Thomas Hunt Morgan was a pioneering evolutionary biologist and geneticist whose groundbreaking research on fruit flies fundamentally reshaped our understanding of heredity. Working in his famed "Fly Room," he demonstrated that genes reside on chromosomes, thereby establishing the foundation for modern genetics. His work illuminated the mechanical basis of inheritance, earning him a Nobel Prize and establishing a crucial model organism for future genetic studies. Morgan's legacy endures through his extensive scientific contributions and the generations of scientists he inspired.

    • "The nine stories in Morgan Thomas's shimmering debut collection witness Southern queer and genderqueer determined to find themselves reflected in the annals of history, whatever the cost. AS Thomas's subjects trace deceit and violence through Southern tall tales and their own pasts, their journeys reveal the porous boundaries of body, land, and history, and the sometimes ruthless awakenings of self-discovery. Winding between reinventions and remembrance, transition and transcendence, these origin stories resound across centuries. With warm, meticulous emotional intelligence, Morgan Thomas uncovers how the stories we borrow to understand ourselves in turn shape the people we become. Ushering in a new form of queer mythmaking, Manywhere introduces a storyteller of uncommon range and talent." --page [4] of cover.

Can they work? Have relationships and their own families? Here is the poignant story of one woman watching her autistic boys reach adulthood.A single mother barely making ends meet, Corrine Morgan-Thomas could hardly afford doctors for her twins, Stephen and Phillip. After their diagnosis of autism, no one else thought these boys would ever amount to anything. But Corrine managed single-handedly to keep the boys out of institutions-and in "regular" school. And their inspiring story became Lifetime television's Miracle Run .The real miracle, though, was what happened where the movie left off-when Stephen and Phillip graduated to face adult autism. From their diagnosis to the present day, when the boys have grown into young men leading happy lives, Corrine's eye-opening story is full of candor, humor, and most of all, hope.
