Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion and a life-long committed Darwinist, abridges and reads this special audio version of Charles Darwin's famous book. A literally world-changing book, Darwin put forward the anti-religious and scientific idea that humans in fact evolved over millions of generations from animals, starting with fish, all the way up through the ranks to apes, then to our current form.

So much better with Dawkins reading
Revisado: 05-28-17
My first introduction to On the Origin of Species was with LibriVox, a free community of people who will read an individual chapter of a book and then parcelled together so people can read these older books. Well unfortunately a lot of the narrator's didn't have the quality recording equipment or maybe had issues otherwise that made it very hard to follow the book.
Dawkins rendition of this book was marvelous and I learned things I had not learned previously and I'm very grateful for this edition. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand how evolution became the powerhouse theory it is today, it surely has stood the test of time. The extent and pains of which Darwin went through to ensure the science was sound was huge because he knew the criticism was going to be harsh and he even proposes in the book many of the questions that theologians today still offer up as holes in evolution.
Darwin acknowledged that there would be things that would be very difficult if not impossible to "prove" and that right there to me is the sign of a true scientist, someone who can pick a part their own hypotheses and try to get to the right answers, because accuracy is all that matters.
Thank you to the author and thank you to the narrator, without these books I unfortunately would never be able to read.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There's no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

Great book! I really enjoyed it.

This book flowed very well. Copious amounts of research clearly went into this. I was very pleased that Dr. Tyson read it himself because he has such a way with speech that really draws you in.

This comprehensive series of 84 lectures features three award-winning historians sharing their insights into this nation's past-from the European settlement and the Revolutionary War through the Civil War, 19th-century industrialization, two world wars, and the present day. These lectures give you the opportunity to grasp the different aspects of our past that combine to make us distinctly American, and to gain the knowledge so essential to recognizing not only what makes this country such a noteworthy part of world history, but the varying degrees to which it has lived up to its ideals.

Had its Ups and Downs
- De Tommy D'Angelo en 10-01-16
Loved it!
Revisado: 05-11-16
I loved the book. It's pretty scary though to see the correlations between today and what is happening in the South and the Civil War and the actions they took before the war. I just hope that understanding the history can prevent it from repeating itself.
