Brian and Deborah Charlesworth provide a clear and concise summary of the process of evolution by natural selection, and how natural selection gives rise to adaptations and eventually, over many generations, to new species. They introduce the central concepts of the field of evolutionary biology, as they have developed since Darwin and Wallace on the subject, over 140 years ago, and discuss some of the remaining questions regarding processes.

How the heart was perceived thousands of years ago is far different than how science is revealing it to be today. It was once considered to be a blood pumping organ hidden within the center of man, and protected by a rib cage; but it is now known to be the center of a complex network communicating neurologically, biophysically, biochemically and energetically with our entire being. Come explore the multiple communication pathways between the heart and brain that Aristotle, Plato and Hippocrates could never dream of being possible; and see the reality of the incredible heart that God created...

Evolutionaries are people who lead companies, systems, industries, communities, and even nations through transformative change. You can find Evolutionaries hidden inside organizations - often their role is on the periphery. They are the people in the Research and Development Department, the innovation labs, the skunk works, but there are other times when they are more central. We believe that time is now.
