Leaders” group, explains how the real meaning of evolution is to gradually open into greater understanding of beauty, truth and goodness. We experience evolution and are a part of it every time we make an effort to improve our own lives or the lives of others; in a sense, to understand evolution’s purpose we need only to look within ourselves. The author makes a compelling case for how a deeper understanding of evolution can lead to a more evolved world. He explains how the science behind the story of our origins is compatible with ideas in contemporary spirituality.

Richmond: One of America’s Best Tennis Towns Eric C. Perkins ’96, Tom Hood, and John Packett Dementi Milestone Publishing
Richmond: One of America’s Best Tennis Towns traces more than a century of tennis history in Richmond, Virginia. Many people know that tennis great Arthur Ashe grew up in Richmond; he started playing tennis at a segregated playground at the age of 7. Ashe led the U.S. tennis team to victory in a Davis Cup tie that took place in 1968 at Richmond’s Byrd Park— the same public courts he was turned away from as a child. But Ashe wasn’t the first Richmond tennis player to make it into the U.S. Top 10— that was Penelope Anderson, who played the women’s tennis circuit in the 1920s. This book includes her story and
the stories of other great players, teams, and organizations that have secured Richmond’s place as an important tennis town. The Southeast’s first indoor tennis courts opened in Richmond in the mid-’60s and several world records were set here in a women’s pro tournament in 1984, including the longest point played in a professional tennis match—a 29-minute, 643-shot rally. Nearly 200 color and blackand-white photographs, many never before published, grace the pages of Richmond: One of America’s Best Tennis Towns. John McEnroe, one of the game’s most talented and colorful players, wrote the foreword. He won tournaments in Richmond on both professional and senior tours during his competitive career. Eric Perkins has played competitive tennis for more than three decades. Since 1996 he has served as president of the Richmond Tennis Association, a public charity that promotes tennis and good sportsmanship throughout the Richmond metropolitan area. He practices business law in Richmond. www. richmondtennis.org/book.
Clinical Research and the Law Patricia M. Tereskerz ’92 wiley-Blackwell
As Clinical Research and the Law makes clear, the legal implications of conducting clinical research and clinical trials have become increasingly complex in recent years. Everyone involved in the work of clinical research and trials should be aware of the ethical issues involved and how the law affects medical practice and research. Much of the law and litigation involved in this field is relatively recent, and it is important to make sure that compliance is up-to-date on a range of key issues, including informed consent, conflict of interest, research contracts, standards and duty of care, establishment of clinical trials,
and the disclosure and withholding of the results of clinical trials. Clinical Research and the Law discusses each of these topics thoroughly and provides answers to the legal questions and potential legal challenges in medical research. This book is a practical guide for clinical investigators, their institutional administrators, health care administrators, and members of institutional review boards, and is an excellent resource for medical students, postgraduate research students, practicing attorneys, and counselors for teaching hospitals and institutions undertaking clinical research and contract research organizations. “Clinical Research and the Law provides thoughtful and practical information on a broad range of legal topics related to clinical research, with an emphasis on subject injury liability,” notes a reviewer in Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices. Tereskerz is director of the Program in Ethics and Policy at the University of Virginia’s School of Medicine Center for Biomedical Ethics and Humanities and chairs the Conflicts of Interest Committee for UVA.
