In 1859, Charles Darwin published a vastly important work: On the Origin of Species by
means of Natural Selection
. For centuries, man had been seen as a created species, distinct from any
other animal. Then, Darwin persuasively argued that mankind and other species are descended from common
ancestors. His theory of "natural selection," also known as "survival of the fittest," explains how life evolved
through natural processes. By the 1950s, most scientists accepted the theory. However, it upset many who
believed that life was created by a supernatural Goda debate which is perpetuated today.

The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four thousand year journey to better understand the world
through scientific means. It is a story of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories,
change and progress.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
