	The Reluctant Mr. Darwin: Charles Darwin and the Making of His Theory of Evolution (Unabridged) Publisher: BBC Audiobooks America Author: David Quammen Audio lenght: 7 hours and 46 min. In September 1838, a young Englishman named Charles Darwin hit upon the idea that "natural selection" among competing individuals would lead to wondrous adaptations and species diversity. Twenty-one years passed between that epiphany and publication of On the Origin of Species. The human drama and scientific controversy of that time constitute a fascinating, tangled tale that illuminates this cautious naturalist who sparked an intellectual revolution. Drawing from Darwin's secret notebooks and personal letters, David Quammen has sketched a vivid life portrait of the man whose work remains controversial today.
