Or go extinct? In the eighteenth century, most people answer no to both questions. But in the century that follows, that certainty gets challenged as some people in Europe question the common belief that all creatures are the same as they've been since life's creation. The Evolution of an Idea, the second volume of Discovering Life's Story, opens with the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who attempts to create an organizing system for the myriad forms of life on earth. It continues into the late 1800s, when two Englishmen--Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace--each develop their own version of a startling new theory of how life-forms change over time. This evolutionary idea will alter the understanding of our place in the great web of life on earth. In this remarkable volume, author Joy Hakim continues charting the path of human discovery and shows how groundbreaking thinkers began to unlock the biological secrets of our own existence&quot;--<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2024<br/>Publication Information&#160;Somerville, Massachusetts :<br/>Call Number&#160;Y 509 HAK 2024<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:804079 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Thompson, R. Paul, 1947- author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9781780234465<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species appeared a little more than 150 years ago. Although Darwin had already been developing his theory for more than twenty years and others before him had advocated evolutionary views, the book was transformative and marked the beginning of the development of evolutionary biology. The story of the development of evolutionary theory over the last century and a half is fascinating and conceptually rich; it has involved repeated modification, clarification, experimentation and frustration. A Remarkable Journey: The Story of Evolution follows the theory of evolution along its captivating, often tortuous path--filled with intrigue and philosophical richness--from Darwin's original brilliant formulation to today's robust, vibrant and deeply explanatory principle. In many respects, the story of evolution documents the maturing of biological science; as the evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky asserted in 1973, 'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.' A Remarkable Journey is a historical narrative of the discoveries, debates, experimentation and field work that became the evidential base on which the theory of evolution rests, of the systematic assembling of these into an elegant and powerful science, and of how it increasingly won over the biological and scientific communities. This considered and absorbing overview will provide all readers with an insight into the development of what most of us now take for granted as a basic--and beautiful--principle of life.&quot;--Dust jacket.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2015<br/>Publication Information&#160;London, UK :<br/>Call Number&#160;QH 361 .T46 2015<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1364270 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Series&#160;Discovering life's story ; Volume one<br/>Series Title&#160;Discovering life's story ;<br/>Author:&#160;Hakim, Joy, author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9781536222937<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;This first of a four-part MITeen series charts the evolution of life science up to the late 1800s, when the origins of the virus was discovered by a baffled Dutch biologist who found a tiny infectious particle destroying tobacco crops&quot;--<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2023<br/>Publication Information&#160;Somerville, Massachusetts :<br/>Call Number&#160;Y 570.9 HAK 2023<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1308538 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Series&#160;Big ideas simply explained<br/>Series Title&#160;Big ideas simply explained<br/>Author:&#160;Argent-Katwala, Mary, consultant.&#160;Bright, Michael, author.&#160;Dinwiddie, Robert, 1953- author.&#160;Farndon, John, author.&#160;Harris, Tim, 1957- author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780744027389<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;Written in plain English, The biology book is packed with short, pithy explanations of some of the most momentous ideas in science, from cell theory to evolution by natural selection and the discovery of DNA.

From the workings of molecules to the way entire oceans or continents of lifeforms interact, biology seeks to understand how it is that something can be alive, how it fends off death and how it leaves more life in its wake. We follow the journey through the history of life science to find out why the dolphin got its name (it is the 'womb fish'), how a seven-foot strand of DNA is able to build your body, and what gives a lobster its blue blood. The great names, such as Darwin and Linnaeus, are joined by lesser known discoverers, such as Karl von Frisch who discovered that bees dance, and Jan Baptist van Helmont who found a plant uses air and water to grow. Biology today is still very much a live science, finding a purpose in robot design and helping us to understand non-living complex systems like the Internet. Biology has changed the way we understand ourselves.

Gombrich, Stephen Hawking, and Alan Weisman-an entertaining and uniquely informed narration of Life's life story. In the beginning, Earth was an inhospitably alien place-in constant chemical flux, covered with churning seas, crafting its landscape through incessant volcanic eruptions. Amid all this tumult and disaster, life began. The earliest living things were no more than membranes stretched across microscopic gaps in rocks, where boiling hot jets of mineral-rich water gushed out from cracks in the ocean floor. Although these membranes were leaky, the environment within them became different from the raging maelstrom beyond. These havens of order slowly refined the generation of energy, using it to form membrane-bound bubbles that were mostly-faithful copies of their parents-a foamy lather of soap-bubble cells standing as tiny clenched fists, defiant against the lifeless world. Life on this planet has continued in much the same way for millennia, adapting to literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter and thriving, from these humblest beginnings to the thrilling and unlikely story of ourselves. In A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth, Henry Gee zips through the last 4.6 billion years with infectious enthusiasm and intellectual rigor. Drawing on the very latest scientific understanding and writing in a clear, accessible style, he tells an enlightening tale of survival and persistence that illuminates the delicate balance within which life has always existed&quot;--<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2021<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York :<br/>Call Number&#160;576.8 GEE 2021<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1290234 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Carroll, Sean B., author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780691201757<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;From acclaimed writer and biologist Sean B. Carroll, a rollicking, awe-inspiring story of the surprising power of chance in our lives and the world. Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? Does everything happen for a reason or are some things left to chance? Philosophers and theologians have pondered these questions for millennia, but startling scientific discoveries over the past half century are revealing that we live in a world driven by chance. A Series of Fortunate Events tells the story of the awesome power of chance and how it is the surprising source of all the beauty and diversity in the living world. Like every other species, we humans are here by accident. But it is shocking just how many things--any of which might never have occurred--had to happen in certain ways for any of us to exist. From an extremely improbable asteroid impact, to the wild gyrations of the Ice Age, to invisible accidents in our parents' gonads, we are all here through an astonishing series of fortunate events. And chance continues to reign every day over the razor-thin line between our life and death. This is a relatively small book about a really big idea. It is also a spirited tale. Drawing inspiration from Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, and other great thinkers, and crafted by one of today's most accomplished science storytellers, A Series of Fortunate Events is an irresistibly entertaining and thought-provoking account of one of the most important but least appreciated facts of life&quot;--Dust jacket flap.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2020<br/>Publication Information&#160;Princeton ;<br/>Call Number&#160;113.8 CAR 2020<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1177190 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Quammen, David, 1948- author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9781476776620<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;Nonpareil science writer David Quammen explains how recent discoveries in molecular biology can change our understanding of evolution and life's history, with powerful implications for human health and even our own human nature.&quot; -- Publisher annotation.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2018<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York :<br/>Call Number&#160;591.38 QUA 2018<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1003103 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Costa, James T., 1963- author.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780393239898<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;James T. Costa takes readers on a journey from Darwin's childhood through his voyage on the HMS Beagle where his ideas on evolution began. We then follow Darwin to Down House, his bustling home of forty years, where he kept porcupine quills at his desk to dissect barnacles, maintained a flock of sixteen pigeon breeds in the dovecote, and cultivated climbing plants in the study, and to Bournemouth, where on one memorable family vacation he fed carnivorous plants in the soup dishes. Using his garden and greenhouse, the surrounding meadows and woodlands, and even taking over the cellar, study, and hallways of his home-turned-field-station, Darwin tested ideas of his landmark theory of evolution with an astonishing array of hands-on experiments that could be done on the fly, without specialized equipment. He engaged naturalists, friends, neighbors, family servants, and even his children, nieces, nephews, and cousins as assistants in these experiments, which involved everything from chasing bees and tempting fish to eat seeds to serenading earthworms. From the experiments' results, he plumbed the laws of nature and evidence for the revolutionary arguments of On the Origin of Species and his other watershed works. Beyond Darwin at work, we accompany him against the backdrop of his enduring marriage, chronic illness, grief at the loss of three children, and joy in scientific revelation. This unique glimpse of Darwin's life introduces us to an enthusiastic correspondent, crowd-sourcer, family man, and, most of all, an incorrigible observer and experimenter.&quot;--Jacket flap.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2017<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York :<br/>Call Number&#160;576.82 COS 2017<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:615758 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Stott, Rebecca.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9781400069378<br/>Summary:&#160;Evolution was not discovered single-handedly, Rebecca Stott argues, contrary to what has become standard lore, but is an idea that emerged over many centuries, advanced by daring individuals across the globe who had the imagination to speculate on nature's extraordinary ways, and who had the courage to articulate such speculations at a time when to do so was often considered heresy.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2012<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York : Spiegel &amp; Grau, 2012.<br/>Call Number&#160;576.82 STO 2012<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:418699 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Carroll, Sean B.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780151014859<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2009<br/>Publication Information&#160;Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009.<br/>Call Number&#160;508 CAR 2009<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1214302 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Series&#160;VAST: academic video online<br/>Series Title&#160;VAST: academic video online&#160;Academic Video Online (leased)<br/>Author:&#160;Lambert, Tim.&#160;Leroi, Armand Marie.&#160;Alive Mind Media.&#160;British Broadcasting Corporation.&#160;Lorber HT Digital.<br/>Summary:&#160;&quot;Honoring the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's revolutionary Origin of Species, this BBC special confirms how the advance of science has exonerated Darwin's theory of evolution ...

This timely update of The Evolution Wars draws on history, science, and philosophy to examine the development of evolutionary thought through the past two and a half centuries. It focuses on the great debates, including the 19th century clash over the nature of classification and debates about the fossil record, genetics, and human nature. Much attention is paid to external factors and the underlying motives of scientists. --from publisher description<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2009<br/>Publication Information&#160;Millerton, N.Y. : Grey House Pub., c2009<br/>Call Number&#160;QH 361 .R874 2008<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:339836 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Erwin, Douglas H., 1958-<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780691005249<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2006<br/>Publication Information&#160;Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, c2006.<br/>Call Number&#160;576.84 ERW 2006<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:306736 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Series&#160;History of issues<br/>Series Title&#160;History of issues<br/>Author:&#160;Nardo, Don, 1947-<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780737720983<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2005<br/>Publication Information&#160;San Diego : Greenhaven Press Thomson/Gale, c2005.<br/>Call Number&#160;QH 366.2 .E96 2005<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:298673 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Dawkins, Richard, 1941-<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780618005833<br/>Summary:&#160;The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own provocative views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Dawkins's Tale takes us modern humans back through four billion years of life on our planet. As the pilgrimage progresses, we join with other organisms at the forty &quot;rendezvous points&quot; where we find a common ancestor. The band of pilgrims swells into a vast crowd as we join first with other primates, then with other mammals, and so on back to the first primordial organism. Dawkins's brilliant, inventive approach allows us to view the connections between ourselves and all other life in a bracingly novel way. It also lets him shed bright new light on the most compelling aspects of evolutionary history and theory: sexual selection, speciation, convergent evolution, extinction, genetics, plate tectonics, geographical dispersal, and more. The Ancestor's Tale is at once a far-reaching survey of the latest, best thinking on biology and a fascinating history of life on Earth. Here Dawkins shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2004<br/>Publication Information&#160;Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 2004.<br/>Call Number&#160;QH 361 .D39 2004<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:268806 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Series&#160;Great courses<br/>Series Title&#160;Great courses<br/>Author:&#160;Larson, Edward J.

The occasion was the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the subject of discussion was Charles Darwin's new treatise: fact or fiction? Darwin, a simultaneously reclusive and intellectually audacious squire from Kent, claimed to have solved 'that mystery of mysteries, ' introducing a logical explanation of the origin of species--how they adapted, even transmogrified, through natural selection. At stake, on that summer's day of spirited debate, was the very foundation of modern biology, not to mention the future of the church. Without fear of exaggeration, Darwin's thesis would forever change our understanding of the life sciences and the natural world. And yet the author himself was nowhere to be found in the debate hall--instead, he was miles away, seeking respite from a spate of illnesses that had plagued him for much of his adult life. In Origin Story, medical historian Howard Markel recounts the two-year period (1858 to 1860) of Darwin's writing of On the Origin of Species through its spectacular success and controversy. Simultaneously, Markel delves into the mysterious health symptoms Darwin developed, combing the literature to emerge with a cogent diagnosis of a case that has long fascinated medical historians. The result is a colorful portrait of the main, his friends and enemies, and his seminal work, which resonates to this day&quot;--<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2024<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York, NY :<br/>Call Number&#160;576.82 MAR 2024<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:433809 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;McCalman, Iain.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9780393068146<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2009<br/>Publication Information&#160;New York : W.W.

This vast aquatic realm is inhabited by a multitude of strange creatures and reigning supreme among them are the fish. There are giants that live for centuries and thumb-sized tiddlers that survive only weeks; they can be pancake-flat or inflatable balloons; they can shout with colors or hide in plain sight, cheat and dance, remember and say sorry; some rarely budge while others travel the globe restlessly. And yet the mesmerizing and complex lives of fish remain largely underrated and unseen, living hidden beneath the waterline, out of sight and out of mind. Helen Scales is our guide on an underwater journey, as we fathom the depths and watch these animals going about the glorious business of being fish. As well as the fish, we meet devoted fishwatchers past and present, from voodoo zombie potion hunters and scientists who taught fish how to walk to nonagenarian explorers of the deep sea. Woven throughout are vignettes of Helen's own aquatic explorations, from eerie nighttime dives with glowing fish and up-close encounters with giant manta rays, to floating in the middle of a swirling shoal being watched by thousands of inquisitive eyes. As well as being a rich and entertaining read, this book will inspire readers to think again about these animals and the seas they inhabit, and to go out and appreciate the wonders of fish, whether through the glass walls of an aquarium or, better still, by gazing into the fishes' wild world and swimming through it.<br/>Pub Date:&#160;2018<br/>Publication Information&#160;London ;<br/>Call Number&#160;597 SCA 2018<br/>Format&#160;Books<br/> ent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1284498 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z 2024-09-24T19:44:15Z Author:&#160;Dorion, Christiane, author.&#160;Tennant, Harry, illustrator.<br/>ISBN:&#160;9781536209327<br/>Summary:&#160;Follow Victorian naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace on his intrepid journeys across the globe and find out how he developed his own theory of evolution in this beautiful illustrated gift hardback.
