    Extractions: 6:30pm Tuesday 20th September 2005 Sharon, Keep Ya Hair On! is a joyful musical celebration of the power of positive thinking and creativity. This funky, funny, wild and wacky trilogy of stories (from the pen of Gillian Rubenstein) is about adapting to change. A mixture of a rock concert, story-telling and drama, Sharon, Keep Ya Hair On! features a mix of interactivity, music, song, live video projection, children’s art and structured play. The audience becomes involved in the performance as would a live studio television audience; they see the show and become part of it. Art of the Stone Country , Gallery 8:00pm Wednesday 28th September 2005 This concert brings together Ralph Towner, Slava Grigoryan and Wolfgang Muthspiel, three acknowledged geniuses in the guitar world whose influences are as varied as the continents they hail from. Even with these diverse backgrounds both geographically and musically, there are however similarities….. They were all classically trained and are each, in a sense, expanding the classical repertoire, as their compositions and performances combine classical, jazz, fusion, world and folk music influences. Three master soloists performing together for one amazing concert.

    Erasmus darwin was a famous doctor, scientist, inventor and poet a man who wasthinking about Charles darwin george III James Watt. Timelines  
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/darwin_erasmus.shtml
    
    Extractions: Send it to a friend! After studying at Cambridge and Edinburgh, Darwin established his medical practice in Lichfield. It was an immediate success, with patients travelling considerable distances for his consultations. At one stage he was offered - and refused - the post of royal physician to George III. Medicine notwithstanding, he had an extremely broad range of scientific interests. He was a founder member of the Lunar Society, whose members included some of the greatest innovators of the age: Josiah Wedgwood, Matthew Boulton and James Watt, and Joseph Priestley, who discovered oxygen. His own inventions and ideas varied enormously. A horizontal windmill invented in 1765 was made and used by Josiah Wedgwood. A carriage that would not tip over was designed in 1766. In 1771 he invented a speaking machine, a canal lift for barges and a minute artificial bird. In 1778 he came up with a copying machine and a variety of weather monitoring machines that included a north-south airflow machine and a weather vane with the pointer in his study. During the following decade his work continued. In 1783 he invented an artesian well and conducted research into the formation of clouds, the latter of which he published in 1788. Despite his many innovations, however, he retained no patents. He felt they would have harmed his reputation as a doctor and instead encouraged his friends to pursue his ideas; they then patented their own, modified, versions.

    Extractions: Published by H-Ideas (October, 2001) Darwin and Eliot in the plots of nineteenth-century science and fiction In this well-written and thoroughly contemplated intellectual history of nineteenth century literature, which has been published for a second time since 1983, the accent is on Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and the effect his scientific observations had on writers of fiction. Darwin had set himself the task of understanding the roots of a past in which humankind hardly featured. Many scientific thinkers of his time felt as he did about the matter. He was however the onein concert with the perceptions of many of his contemporariesto outline one of the major theories of modern science. The fact that it had been absorbed into literary thinking is an interesting barometer for determining precisely how and when his theories started finding their home in popular and intellectual thinking. Beer's work is an intellectual history of the cultural environment in which Darwin found himself in the 1860's and the 1870's. Her knowledge of the literature of the period enables the reader to come to a better understanding of how the craft of writing was progressing under conditions of creative construction. Apart from the language (written and spoken) there are numerous discussions of devices used by authors in their work. They were writing at a time when ideas were being shaped by thoughts about observations on things beyond the shores of the British Isles. It was an environment conducive to addressing universal tendencies.

49. Hentzi: Darwin & Darwinism In Victorian Literature
    My own discussion of darwin and george Eliot draws heavily on the works of thesetwo writers, above all Beer s chapter on Middlemarch (14980).  
    http://darwin.baruch.cuny.edu/faculty/hentziA.html
    
    Extractions: 27 September 1998 Interest in theories of evolution is such a regular feature of English intellectual life in the mid to late nineteenth century that there is hardly a major writer of the period whose work is not in some way touched by the issue. Darwin himself is everywhere in Victorian literature, including a fictionalized portrait in Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters (1866), and he was by no means an isolated figure. On the contrary, the scientific debate in which he intervened so decisively dates back at least as far as the three volumes of Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) and includes such other important (albeit less authoritative) influences as Robert Chambers' enormously popular Vestiges of Creation (1844). In nineteenth-century England, the writings of natural scientists as well as popular presentations of their ideas found a substantial readership outside of the scientific community itself, as poets and novelists-along with a notable slice of the thinking public-eagerly ordered the latest scientific works the moment they were announced by the publisher. To appreciate the motives for this interest, one must look to the social history of the period, which is essential to a full understanding of the relationship between literary and scientific developments. England's progression from a largely agricultural society to a heavily industrialized one over the half century preceding the publication of On the Origin of Species

    Extractions: Darwin as Synecdoche Studying literature allows us to see how Darwin changed the cultural landscape. References to Darwin and to a series of scientific ideas associated with his name proliferate throughout the literature of the 19th century and persist still. One might say they function as the figure of speech called synecdoche, in which the part stands for the whole. In our course in Great Works of Literature II, I have long used an excerpt from the opening chapter of Theodore Dreiser's novel The Financier , the first book of a trilogy based on the career of Charles T. Yerkes, who made a fortune building the street-railways of Chicago and London. Yerkes' business practices, however, could not stand up to careful scrutiny; unlike many of the great robber barons, he actually served time in prison. How, Dreiser asks, did this human type evolve? The Financier opens with the young Frank Cowperwood trying to figure out how life was organized. How did all these people get in to the world? What were they doing here? What started things, anyhow? His mother told him the story of Adam and Eve, but he didn't believe it. He answers his question by watching a lobster devour a squid in a tank displayed in the window of the local fish market. This exercise in the survival of the fittest shapes his entire life. Concluding that the squid "didn't have a chance," he has a flash of insight: "Things lived on each otherthat was it." The chapter ends with an apparent non-sequitur:

    Extractions: Language of Material : eng Sir George Howard Darwin (1845-1912), mathematician and astronomer, was the son of Charles Darwin. He was educated at Clapham Grammar School and Trinity College Cambridge (B.A., 1868). He was a fellow of Trinity, 1868-1878, and Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge, 1883-1912. Darwin concentrated on the study of the earth in his early work, before examining the earth-moon system and the influence of the tides. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1879. His collected works were published in 1907-1911. MS.Add.5749: G.H. Darwin, papers on the tides, in various hands, 1882-1895, 61 folios.

53. Restoring The Tortoise Dynasty
    Before Lonesome george was found, the last reported sighting of tortoises onPinta was in 1906, The Charles darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands.  
    http://www.darwinfoundation.org/Restoring/george.html
    
    Extractions: Lonesome George The small island of Pinta is located in the North of the Galapagos archipelago. One of the 11 remaining races of the Galapagos Giant Tortoise ( Geochelone elephantopus abingdoni ) comes from Pinta, but their history is a tragic one. Whalers and sealers heavily depleted their numbers in the 19th century, some ships taking many tortoises at a time. The tortoises were a good food source as they could live up to a year in the holds of the ships without food and water. Females were generally taken first as they are much smaller than the males and could be found in the more accessible lowland areas during the egg laying season. Before Lonesome George was found, the last reported sighting of tortoises on Pinta was in 1906, when the island was visited by the Californian Academy of Sciences. They collected three males, which were the last tortoises seen on Pinta for the next 60 years. Another issue for the Giant Tortoises of Pinta Island was the presence of goats, which were released by fishermen in the 1950's as an alternative food source. These introduced mammals destroyed much of the vegetation and directly competed with any remaining tortoises for food.

This bibliography is pretty much restricted to secondary sources which in some way deal explicitly with, or represent, or throw light on, the relations between Darwinism (or, more generally, evolutionary biology) and imaginative literature in the late nineteenth century. Some more obscure primary texts from the period are included. Readers are advised that I'm making this bibliography available on an 'as is' basis.

    Extractions: Wednesday, 5:30-8 in South Hall 2617 Course description: This is a course on the impact of Darwin's version of evolutionary theory on the fiction of the later nineteenth century. The impact was as rich and various as it was profound, raising fundamental questions about who we are as a species, how special we are, why we "do good," why we fall in love, what freedom we have, what cosmological narrative (if any) we inhabit, and what control we have over our lives and the course of history. We start with selections from Darwin's Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871) taken from the Norton Critical Edition of Darwin 3rd edition , edited by Philip Appleman. We then move straight to one of the earlier novels to be directly influenced by Darwin (and also one of the early works of science fiction), Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race (1871). The course ends with science fiction, too: H. G. Wells's
