Book Description
"In this film you'll learn-- among other things-- that evolution and religion are, indeed, compatible ways of looking at the world; that Darwin was a creationist before he was an evolutionist; and that cooperation is just as important as competition in the struggle for existence." --From Hummingbird Films website.

Book Description
In 1859, an amateur British naturalist published a book of findings that shook the scientific community to its core and changed the structure of religion and science as we know them. The product of over 20 years of research, The Origin of Species challenged the popular belief that species could not evolve and argued that species can adapt to their environment and develop accordingly. Although other scientists had observed some of the phenomena that Charles Darwin addressed, he was the first to theorize that natural selection, and later, evolution, were viable explanations for the origins of life. The implications of Darwin's findings still reverberate today, in the classroom, in the courtroom, and at the highest legislative levels. Lively thematic chapters explore how Darwin came to the conclusions published in The Origin of Species—and in later works such as The Descent of Man—from his early years at Cambridge, to his observations of species on the HMS Beagle voyages, through the 20 years of research that culminated in Origin. Also included is an insightful discussion of Darwin's impact as it is felt today, from movies and popular culture to the current Intelligent Design controversy. Biographies of influential figures, primary source letters and selections from Origin, a glossary of terms, and an extensive annotated bibliography round out this accessible work.

Book Description
DARWIN'S ADMISSION OF BIAS This book is basically about the admission of bias that Charles Darwin states in the Introduction to the Origin of Species: For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which facts cannot be adduced, often leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I have arrived. A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question; and this cannot possibly be here done. That admission of bias should literally discredit everything that follows in the book. Incredibly, his intention is to present an allegedly scientific explanation for origins that is formatted to be unquestionable dogma. A dogmatic theory is an intellectual impossibility. Darwin was conducting an investigation confirming his preconceived belief in evolution; it was not a discovery investigation as to how life originated. In that case, the investigator would want to avoid alternative points of view (counterinduction) like the plague. Darwin's dilemma is obvious; he could not formulate a convincing materialistic explanation for origins if he had to be open- minded; therefore, counterinduction becomes heresy, and the fabled scientific objectivity becomes a sham. In other words, from a confirming perspective, it really is impossible not to be dogmatic. It is a foregone conclusion, then, that Darwin would always observe the ecosystem from a biased perspective. A belief in scientific objectivity is pervasive in society, so pervasive, that, if a high school student read Darwin's admission of bias, he or she would likely declare him unqualified to conduct a scientific investigation. A science teacher would reach the same conclusion. In the classroom, Darwin's pseudo-scientific presentation of evolution turns out to be indoctrination rather than education. The evolution curriculum violates education's professional codes of ethics. It deceives students into thinking they are being taught theory when in reality they are being taught an unquestionable doctrine of Religious Humanism. In order to make the evolution curriculum acceptable for teaching, it has to be reformatted with accountability to an investigative protocol that guarantees objectivity. In summary, it is obviously counterproductive, to the point of an impossibility, to consider alternative points of view in a confirming investigation, but a common sense necessity in a discovery investigation. The issue centers on how evolution proponents want evolution taught versus how educators can ethically teach it. Educators become conspirators for evolutionary dogmatism when they knowingly teach a biased curriculum with a religion agenda to unsuspecting students. Students are unaware of their victimization; they are oblivious of the fact that they are a captive audience having a doctrine of a bona fide religion unscientifically presented to them. Notice of repetition: This book contains relevant research articles that are also included in Secrets of the Sixth Edition: Darwin Discredits His Own Theory. The author has an M.S. in curriculum and instruction.

Book Description
In 1831, Charles Darwin embarked on his first voyage. Though he was a scientist by profession, he was an explorer at heart. While journeying around South America for the first time aboard a ninety-foot-long ship named the Beagle, Charles collected insets, dug up bones, galloped with gauchos, encountered volcanoes and earthquakes, and even ate armadillo for breakfast! The discoveries he made during this adventure would later inspire ideas that changed how we see the world. Complete with mesmerizing map work that charts Darwin's thrilling five-year voyage, as well as "Fun Facts" and more, Charles Darwin's Around-the-World Adventure captures the beauty and mystery of nature with wide-eyed wonder.

Book Description
Charles Darwin has been extensively analysed and written about as a scientist, Victorian, father and husband. However, this is the first book to present a carefully thought out pedagogical approach to learning that is centered on Darwin’s life and scientific practice. The ways in which Darwin developed his scientific ideas, and their far reaching effects, continue to challenge and provoke contemporary teachers and learners, inspiring them to consider both how scientists work and how individual humans ‘read nature’. Darwin-inspired learning, as proposed in this international collection of essays, is an enquiry-based pedagogy, that takes the professional practice of Charles Darwin as its source. Without seeking to idealise the man, Darwin-inspired learning places importance on: • active learning • hands-on enquiry • critical thinking • creativity • argumentation • interdisciplinarity. In an increasingly urbanised world, first-hand observations of living plants and animals are becoming rarer. Indeed, some commentators suggest that such encounters are under threat and children are living in a time of ‘nature-deficit’. Darwin-inspired learning, with its focus on close observation and hands-on enquiry, seeks to re-engage children and young people with the living world through critical and creative thinking modeled on Darwin’s life and science.

Book Description
Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, his revolutionary tract on evolution and the fundamental ideas involved, in 1859. Nearly 150 years later, the theory of evolution continues to create tension between the scientific and religious communities. Challenges about teaching the theory of evolution in schools occur annually all over the country. This same debate raged within Darwin himself, and played an important part in his marriage: his wife, Emma, was quite religious, and her faith gave Charles a lot to think about as he worked on a theory that continues to spark intense debates. Deborah Heiligman's new biography of Charles Darwin is a thought-provoking account of the man behind evolutionary theory: how his personal life affected his work and vice versa. The end result is an engaging exploration of history, science, and religion for young readers. Charles and Emma is a 2009 National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature.
